FOUR LEGS INSTEAD OF TWO.
Herein Is Reasonable Plea for the
Relief of the Modern
Foot Soldier.

The foot soldier is an anachronism,
his halberd, or the archer with his
cloth yard shaft. The modern foot
soldier is not only fighting machine;
de is also beast of burden; and no
man can be both with success. The
American infantryman equipped for
war is weighted down with rifle, bayo.
net, ammunition, clothing, shelter
tent, water bottle and haversack. in
all some 60 pounds in weight. 1t is a
common belief that soldier is so
strong and hardy that he does not feel
his burden; that he can march ten OF
Is miles with 60 pounds about his
body and not mind it; that, like the
well trained athlete, who thrives un.
der violent exercise, he enjoys having
to transport all this paraphernalia.
Now, as matter of fact, there is the
one thing, of all others, which the sol.
der despises. He doesn't mind the
fghting; he can put up with heat OF
cold, and, although he may growl
when his rations are short, he accepts
that as a part of the days work; but
to turn himself into a porter, to be q
coolie and the bearer of burdens, is
the thing he abominates, says L.
Maurice Low, in Forum.
There is nothing more depressing to
the spirits, nothing more devitalizing
nothing which makes a greater drain
than march. There is nothing pic.
turesque, nothing exhilarating, moth.
ing to break the horrible monotony Of
this seemingly interminable ploddine
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, nc
waving plumes and fluttering flags to
excite the imagination, no spectators
to stimulate pride, there is no scenery
even. War is now monochrome;
everyone dresses the same, khaki loses
its semblance of color and taxes on the
try 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. ammu.
milton pelts chafe more gallingly, hav.
ersacks and waterbottles strike in g
tender spot, shoes get filed with grit
which makes each step an agony. II
after long march men are thrown
into action they have lost their vim
and their power of resistance; and
it is only by sheer nerve that they are
able to stand up to the rack. Nine
times out of ten infantry are sent in.
to action with their nerves unstrung
simply because they have been brok.
en- down by the strain which has beer
put upon them. To get the best re.
suits out of men they should go into
action in perfect physical conditions;
but they are generally weakened by
the drain made upon them.
The remedy for this, remedy
which will not only increase the actu.
al physical strength of an army, but
will also give it that mobility which
is all-essential is to give each man his
own means of transport, that Is, to
mount him. The armies of the flu.
ture will be armies of mounted infan.
try.

When a man is new to life,
Love sings sweetly of a wife.
When in years he grows apace.
Wealth his siren is, and place.

And desires grow dull and cold,
Give him slippers and a chair,

He's content to toast his shins.

ITO BE Continued
Sense OF Touch In Surgery.

There has been of late more or less
discussion on the use of antiseptic
gloves. These articles are strongly OBJ
jected to, however, by experienced sur
geons, who claim that the surgeon ac-
quires a sense of touch that is of very
great value to him in performing deli
cate and complicated operations. So
acute does this become that even the
extent of disease may almost be deter
mined by it. They believe that it is
possible to exercise sufficient care in the
washing of hands and the application
of antiseptics to make such gloves
wholly unnecessary Be this as it may,
the best surgeons are very reluctant to
adopt anything that interferes with the
delicacy of handling, which is Their
chief pride and upon which to great
extent the safety of the patient depends.
