General Miles has acted wisely in
issuing q general order intended to
promote a more trim and soldierly ap-
pearance on the part Of the men In
the United States army. All the Amer
ican rs well as all the foreign critics
of our regiments in the Chinese expe-
dition agreed that the American SOL
diers, while second to none In courage
and efficiency. were deficient in drill
and slouchy in appearance. General
Chafiee recently has found It neces-
sary to issue an order on this subject
to his men In the Philippines. Now
General Miles calls the attention of the
whole army to "a certain uncouthness
of exterior and laxity Of manners"
which seem to be affected Intentionally
by some OF the troops under the mis-
taken idea that these are soldierly
characteristics. The commanding gen.
eral says offenses OF this kind must
stop.
This carelessness in dress and disci-
, pline appears to have crept into the
army at the time of the civil war. Up
, to that time the regulars were models
of punctilious propriety. No European
officers were more insistent in matters
of discipline and pipeclay than those
of our army before the COS. Tho civil
war called into the field vast bodies OF
unframed volunteers. who in time be-
came az efiicient fighters as the regu-
lars, but who never acquired the per-
lection of drill or the rigid habit Of
keeping their uniforms in spotless
condition. These volunteer regiments.
with their splendid lighting and their
careless dressing. set an example whose
effect upon the regulars remains no.
ticeable to the present day.-Ex.
