Drift when Cronje and all his men were capt

His experiences in Africa have led Count
s+ernherg to some radical criticisms of present
military methods in the great Continental
mics Vast improvement must be made In
craftsmanship and a complete change in the
methods of practising it: the present system of
reconnaissance is out Of date. and 'one civilian
who is sent off in good time on his bicycle to
gain information will effect more than cavalry
DIVISION" Cavalry is not for charging how
amusing and cavalryke it may be accord
ing to ruling ideas" The cavalry must aban-
don its sword and lance and rely on the light
carbine with bayonet. Artillery is the arm
which has made least improvement, and it's ef-
feet has fallen far below that of the infantry,
which is now to win lose the war; this will
depend quality. not quantity. Most radical
of all Count Sternberg's views are those he
holds as to conscription-the nation in arms
He would have a smaller professional army;
five hundred thousand men, picked troops
mar1smen and soldiers would conquer the
world" The militia would be used only for
reserve and reinforcement The next war Will
show that the huge armies are mistake, for
they will prove to be unmanageable and impos-
sble to feed. And the interesting conclusion
from Count Sternberg's observations or the
merits of men who hit bulls eyes and march
is that Europe must give up the system Of gem
eral conscription and come down to armies Of
men trained to the highest point of perfection
in soldering by making it their sole profession
in life.

SMALL GIRL SAVED THE TRAIN.

SMALL GIRL SAVED THE TRAIN.
The little 8 year old daughter of
Fred Schlosser, Greenville saloon
man, one day last week saved a Mil
waukee passenger train from an
accident which might have resulted
in serious wreck and loss Of life
While the train, coming from the
east was approaching the high trestle
bridge east of Greenville, Engineer
Nathan NJ. Myers, peering out Of
hiss cab window, saw standing near
the approach of the trestle a small
girl frantically waving, a red jacket.
The engineer thought at first the
child was playing, but being care
full pilot he decided to take no
chances, and as the engine reached
the east end of the trestlo he stopp-
ed. Walking ahead over the ties
for a short distance a horse was
found cast. All four legs of the ami
NAL were wedged between the ties.
It took number of men quite a
time to extricate the horse
Engineer Myers approached the
heroism of the girl, and souhgt to
find her but she had gone. If the
engine had struck the horse, it might
have been thrown from the track
and dashed into the ravine below,
dragging coaches with it. The girl
on finding the horse, and knowing
the train was about due, took off
her little jacket, and, like scene
in melodrama, tagged the train.
i. Engineer Myres said yesterday:
"That girl deserves prize for her
bravery and I want to give her some
token Of appreciation SIOUX City

NO GAME.

Tuesday afternoon a team from
Melvin, Ia., arrived here to paly our
first team a game Of football, but
through some disagreement the
game did not take place.
It seems correspondence had passed
between the team of that town and
Roy Lewis with desire to play
Sibley. Tuesday Lewis was tele-
phoned that the team was going to
s {, and wanted to be met there,
but owing to the. late hour that
could be done, so the Melvin team
said they would come here and we're
informed they could have the re-.
ceipts of the game toward their OK
penses. They were told to come,
this was about noon. Our boys
went out to Org to procure two OF
their men who are working on the
rail saw, but were unable to do SO,
so they secured two substitutes in
order to have the game. When they
reached the grounds at three o'clock
the Melvin team refused to play on
account of the lateness of the hour.
Until the train left at four o'clock
there was constant ''chewing"
over the game. Our boys offered to
play them Tuesday or if they would
stay until Wednesday all expenses
would be paid. This the visitors
refused to do. Finally Art Rose
offered to put up one hundred dollars
that our team could beat them, this
they declined except that the Worth
intgon boys go to Melvin at some
future date which was another
thing. The fact Of the matter is,
the whole kicking was done by few,
further, players had been gathered
from all towns for the purpose Of
winning, but after sizing things up
they decided they did not want to
play at all. The home team went
to great deal of trouble to yet team
on such short notice and done all
they could to properly take care of
their guests.
