knowledge is necessary at all times,
The general says that on account of
large accesslons Of officers and SOL
diers who have had but limited expert
ence in the military service the instruc-
tons contained in the order are issued
for their guidance as well as for 9th
time of war modern military training
must be uniform and must conform to
certain basic principles. The follow
ing are extracts from the orders:
''Of these principles patriotism is of
the first and paramount Importance.
An absolute and unqualified devotion
to the welfare of their country of all
in the military service is an indispen-
sable requisite that constitutes the
soul of
AN EFFICIENT ARMY.
"It is essential that the army shall
fully understand the character of our
government, shall realize the benefits
and prerogatives granted by our con-
stitution, and shall be familiar with
the brilliant achievements of our
arms as recorded in our past military
history.

LESSON
Taught to Bryant
& May.
Shown Why They Could
Not Compete
With the Enterprise of
the Diamond Co.
London Newspaper Tells Why
England Loses Trade.

The deal by which the Diamond
Match Co. and the Bryant & May Co.
were combined has been II great prob
lem to the London newspapers, and it
is poor day in which they do not
find some 'lesson' in it to write about.
All give Mr.. o. c. Barber a fair deal,
and ere even generous enough to ex-
plain conditions showing that the Eng
lish manufacturers were not equipped
to compete properly with those of
America. The following article is TAX
en- from the Morning Leader. of Lon
don, and refers to the advantages the
Diamond Co. had over the Bryant &
May people:
Many of the shareholders in Bryant
& May are smarting underthe enforced
match with the Liverpool Diamond
Company" But the side-light thrown
upon the commercial up-to-dateness Of
the famous London firm at what may
be called the nuptials Qast Monday
Is of greater interest to the general
public.
Mr.. Barber Ga director of the Liver
pool Company summed them up, with
humorous twinkle in his eye, as lob.
solete" and antediluvian."

portance must he thoroughly i'm
pressed upon all in the military service.
Cflicers will always be exemplary in
denol tment. will exercise justice and
imrartiality, and will be consderate
IL their conduct toward all subordi-
mates. Cheerful, earnest, and loyal
obedience will be. promptly paid by
all subordinates to lawful orders of-su-
periors No order will be issued with
out the provision or power Of eXecu-
tin and enforcement.
The third principle to be observed
is the highest possible
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT,
that will render the soldier capable
of the greatest endurance on the
march and on the field of battle. To
this end athletic games are superior
to prescribed gymnastics that require
special apparatus, and marches of in
creasing length at attention to those
at route step with shambling gait and
irregular cadence.
THE fourth principle of Importance
comprises self-respect, self-reliance,
and resourcefulness. These qualities,
making up mans individuality, are
in large measure inherent in the
American soldier.
THE fifth principle is that of great
est efficiency in professional knowl-
edge. The art of war is the applica,
tion of its principles to actual practice
and of more importance than the
science.
"The long established reputation of
the army demands that nothing short

de- AmericaD company are united
in the holy bonds OF commercInI matri-
mony. Mr.. Barber did not wish to
say unkind things Of Mcssrs. Bryan &
May, when seen yesterday by a
Leader representative.
But here are a few facts he let fall
In Chicago there is said to be ma.
chine which receives the pig alive at
one end and sends It out In sausages
ut the other end. Mr.. Barber's firm
has a machine which resembles this
In its comprehensiveness
1t cuts the blocks Of wood into
splints, dips the splints, dries them,
and puts them into the familiar match
box.
In a word, 1t accompIishes Of itself
the whole process of matchmaking.
The result is that seven girls can turn
out 1000 gross boxes of matches a day
with a single machine.
Bryan & May buy their splints, roll
them up in coils, dip" the ends by
hand (hence ''phossy- jaw, unroll them
by hand, cut the splints in two Oy
hand and then set their employees sol
emnly to work putting the matches
into boxes with their fingers.
The Liverpool Il. e. American firm
makes the outside of boxes, print the
labels Oh them, and sand them, at the
rate of $50 per minute. The London
and Liverpool firms both turn out
about the same quantity of matches
But whereas the former have to EN-
ploy 400 hands, the latter only need
700, and that, too, in spite of the fact
that Bryant & May import more than
half their boxes ready made.
The Americans, therefore, save con.
siderably more than half their labor
bill.
The consequent difference In the cost
of manufacture is illustrated by the
fact that the Americans can turn ou
their matches in boxes at less cost
than that which the English can get
the splints.
"The fact is," said Mr.. Barber, "yor
people are too conservative, and its
pretty hard work to change you. Yor
Engllshmen ought to remember thai
you can't stop progress"
During the last 20 years the Ameri,
can match-makers have spent fully
two million dollars on patents and i'm,
provements in machinery. But it was
not till some three years ago-two
years after the Liverpool firm had ad
ministered a sort of electric shock
that Bryant & May began to seriously
bestir themselves in this direction. 1
was too late then.
