THE THINKING BAYONET.


Mr.. KEENAN, made a strong point il
his discussion of the war in the Eas
: when he said that the Russian militar!
, formation would prove a source o
weakness in battle with an enemy tina
, fights in open order. Solid phalanxe:
cannot stand repeating rifles and ma
chine guns, yet Russia, like Germany
finds it hard to drop the old method
One reason given by Mr. KEENAN, is
that the Russian soldiers are ignorant
and must be close to their officers to
know what to do; that they are not
1qualified mentally to think for them
Iselves as a man must who fights in the
thin line, or strengthened skirmish
formation, which is the only valid one
in these days of rapid fire armament.
The japanese, though organized in
other respects on the German model,
fight in the new formation. Those who
have seen them in battle will easily
recall the long lines, with men standing
ten feet apart, followed by other lines
similarly broken up, the latter to be
drawn upon when needed for reinforce
ments. Through the wide spacings in
this order of battle the enemy would
throw away his shot and shell; while
the bullets of the japanese would east
| ly find billet in his closed-up ranks.
Once in battle the presence of an Off,
Ger was not needed at the elbow of the
enlisted man to tell him what to do;
he knew his duty and did it well.
The value of the thinking bayonet"
European way to make a soldier is to
teach an ordinary man obedience; the
American, the Japanese and-since the
Boer war-the English way, is to teach
ordinary men to be out of the ordinary;
to- teach them not only to obey but to
exercise their native wits and contrive
in battle for themselves. A semi-moG-
ern example of the difference in eff
cheney between the close and the wide |
formation of troops, between discipline |
and initiative, was given when Brad |
docks command met it's fate at the |
hands of Indians in the Pennsylvania |
woods. In the Turco-Russian war the |
Turks fought as individuals and the
Russians as regiments, with the result
that the Russians lost by far the most
men. 1t was England's thin red line"
which demolished the massed Russians
n the Crimea, and her compact forma-
ion which lost her the day at Majuba
Hill. The fact that the Germans have
,een so badly worsted in some of their
ghts with Samoans and with the ma ,
ives of southwest Africa is undoubt- 6
dly due to their adherence to out-of- /
ate battle aIignments. In a great con-
let, as Lieut.. Biltse pointed out in his t
roscribed book. Germany would, if it c
ad a modern enemy to meet, find its
squadrons and right form of war" as
1ch things were known in 1870 as much
ut of date as We're the battle squares \
hich the Prussians inherited from
the Great but which went to
eces under the iron fail of Napo- r
on. :
The first collision of Russian and Jap =,
lese armies cannot be far off and we :
lall miss a good guess if the Russians
} not find reason, in their experience r
it'll an active modern foe, to regret :,
lat they have not sent their moujiks
some other school than the school ;,

You'd them was great zone Of Epsco-
palians. while on the very outer mar
gin OF the tlrong. scarcely visible to
the naked eye, were the Catholics.
And the dreamer fancicd that in his

So remote from tho thronc?' TO
