SOLDIERS ON THE MARCH.
Tbeir Long Marches Under Burdens
Are Exceedingly Toiisome and
Dispiriting.

The foot soldier is in anachronism
as archaic as the man at arms will
his halberd or the archer with his
cloth-yard shaft. The modern foo
soldier is not only fighting machine
he is also beast of burden, and nc
man can be both with success. The

onet, ammunition, clothing, shelter
tent, water bottle and haversack, in
all some 60 pounds in weight. 1t is a
common belief that a soldier is SO
strong and hardy that he does not
feel the burden: that he can march
10 or Is miles with 60 pounds about
his body and not mind it; that, like
the well-trained athlete. who thrives
under violent exercise, he enjoys hav-
| ing to transport all this parapher-
MALTA. Now, as a matter of fact that
is the one thing of all others which
the soldier despises. He doesn't mind
the fighting; he can put up with heat
or cold, and, although he may growl

that as part of the days work; but
to turn himself into a porter, TO be a
eoolie and the bearer of burdens, is
the thing he abominates, says Forum.
There is nothing more depressing
TO the spirits. nothing more deyital-
izing, nothing which makes greater
drain on man than a march. There
is nothing picturesque. nothing ex
hilarating, nothing TO break the hor-
rible monotony of this seemingly in
terminable plodding through baking
dust or clogged mud or chilling snow.
All the color of war has gone. There
are no bands TO make men forget their
fatigue, no waving plumes and fiut-
tering flags 10 excite the imagina-
ton no spectators TO stimulate pride
there is no scenery even. War is
now a monochrome: everyone dresses
the same. khaki loses its semblanee
of color and takes on the color of the
dirt or mud of the country through
which the army marches, and no man
sees more than the man in front OF
him or the man on each side Of him.
Hour after hour this goes on: rifles
become heavier. ammunition belts
chafe more gallingly. haversacks and
water bottles strike in a tender spot,
shoes get filed with grit which makes
each step an agony. II after a long
march men are thrown into action
they have lost their vim and their
power of resistance, and il is only by |
sheer nerve that they are able 10
stand up to the rack. Nine times out |
