One Of the lessons" which military
science was supposed to have learned
from the war In South Africa was that
artillery could accomplish nothing IN
field operations that could not be more
eheaply and expeditiously effected by
rife fire. The comparatively small dam
age done to certain carefully selected
positions after hours OF bombardment
with highly explosive shells was clted
as evidence that all field guns. except
those OF the smaller machine types, cost
more than they were worth. The rec
ord OF the Russo-Japanese war dlsproyes
this claim. During the last few months
artillery has always been an important
and occasionally, vital factor In de-
termining the issue OF engagements

wanted the tobacco. and the young

The federal decided to make the
venture. He laid aside his sword and
belt and started across the high and
narrow dixie leading to the confederate
line. On either side Of the dixie the
water in the rice fields was ten feet
deep.
The lieutenant reached the opposite
shore without any misgivings The
confederate produced some tobacco
and a trade was made in no time Thon

Suddenly Coryell saw a signal nutter
