A Debt to the Indian.
m the New York Mail.

From the New York Mall
When an officer OF the British army ad-
yocates that the North American Indian
be taken as the model for new special
corps of cavalry formed for scout duty II
may be said fairly that the lesson which
began with the defeat of Braddock ana
was retaught in South Africa has been
learned at last
The view Of the Indian as the father or
modern military tactics may seem farfetch-
ed Yet most modern battles have been
won by straight shooting men who fought
in open order and knew how to take ad-
vantage of every bit of cover. Flank IN
stead Of frontal attacks are now the &C
copied method. Nanshan Hill to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. The aim of every
general is to >hurl the mass of his troops
upon the weakest spot of his adversary
defense at an unexpected moment with
cavalry the best use is made by lighting
as infantry while a fractional detachment
guards the horses In reserve.
Those tactics counted In the revolution
and have counted ever since in the regular
and the volunteer armies OF the United
States. The London Military Mail now com
mends the Indian as the model scout me
Army and Navy Journal properly pro-
nounces the regular cavalryman or our
regiments as his superior, but In SO doing
gives credit where 1t is due by saying that
Fall the really desirable methods OF the
Indian as a mounted fighter were long ago
adopted and In some respects improved by
our mounted forces" 1t is evident that the
group OF statues Of epoch-making soldiers
in Washington will always be incomplete
until II includes one of the first OF Ameri-
can fighters.

president of the International brotherhood
of Transfers, said today, analyzing the
strike:
This is to be a life and death struggle
for the international organization of butch
er workmen. The packers. in my opinion
had carefully planned for gigantic war 10
disrupt the butchers union. Had teamsters
remained at work the butchers union
would have been imperilled. The teamsters
could not be party to any such move as
the packers had planned. We will not stano
for that and cannot Common sense
teaches workingmen that unions mus.
either stand or fall together.
In defense Of the teamsters' strike. Presi-
dent Shea said: -,
There is nothing in the constitution OF
the international organization as Tar as l
can learn nor between the packers ana tne
packing house teamsters. that would pre-
vent a sympathetic strike. The decision VI

Disposition to Conceal Destitution-No

to alleviate the distress of strikers and
their families who are In want, there was
little change today in the condition of the
thousands of poverty stricken strike suffer
ers huddled in the squalfd district generally
referred to as Back of the Yards
Instead of complaining. there is dispo-
sition TO conceal restitution. lest the fact
OF the impoverishment of the strikers be-
coming known might operate against the
success of the unions struggles
Like the Spartan mothers of old. hungry
wives and mothers of strikers sit in silence
in their spare homes, purpOsely avoiding
those who might seek them out with chart

the silent grim fortitude of these women
