But for all that, there Is a mighty

fidence between gentlemen and had all
the earmarks of a Machiavellian plot
to raise questions of personal veracity
and disturb the peace" The entire

What is obvious in the hubbub is
the determination of the Democrats to
put the president in hole, if asserva-

in half-truths and assumptions and
nothing is more in evidence than their
coaching of Mr.. Tillman, lest by saying
too much the fat will be in the fire. If

snow is deep. No other bird will bet

fore the boy was arrested.
The case was appealed to the supe

was counsel for the labor union. Judge

When Combatants Meet

WHEN the destructive elements meet
w the silence is broken by the thunders
of thousand guns of light and heavy artil-
lery, the very earth trembles, and the con-
tinuous roar can be heard for distance
of thirty, forty. and sometimes fifty miles,
while the shrieking and bursting of shells,
as they fly in every direction, render the
very atmosphere hot and sitting, in their
death seeking mission. The continuous
rumble and rattle of hundred thousand
rifles in one continuous volume of sound,
the blast of the bugles, and the shrill
voices of the commanders are soul STIR
ring, inspiring, and appalling; and the
tumult of the battle field as the great
forces surge back and forth, the charge of
the squadrons, the whirl of advancing
batteries, the cheers and shouts of the
mighty host, the wild rush of riderless
horses in every part of the field, while
Others stand mute, suffering statues,
make the scene one of great commotion
and turmoil, with occasional places of
utter confusion
After the battle is over and the silence
broken only by the groans of the wounded
and the means of the dying, one realizes
the horrors of war. Sadness follows the
exultation of the victor, and despair rests
with the vanquished.

Getting Ready for Battle

DURING the preparatory stages, pend
- ing battle, while the great forces are
gradually being drawn together, the move
ments are secret and noiseless While
the troops are moving into position be-
fore the action opens, the non-military
spectator might imagine that the greatest
confusion prevails, as he would see in
fantry, cavalry, and artillery moving
in all directions, dressing stations and
field hospitals established, signal, tele-
graph and telephone stations located,
supply trains parked IN safe and well shell
tered places, and reserve ammunition
trains brought up; while if he would look
toward the enemy's position his unframed
eye would see only peaceful lanscape, as
the enemy's troops would be concealed by
cover, his batteries hidden. and his
trenches invisible.
The moments just preceding the action
are the most trying to the troops engaged,
as they witness the suggestive prepare
ton for the impending tragedy, but after
the first sound of the guns they have no

Work of the Cavalry

THE cavalry at this stage must act
l with great boldness, and by repeated
charges cut off the retreat or force the
enemy to deploy and delay him until the
pursuing infantry and artillery can come
into action and infict further losses.
To reap the full fruits of victory, an
energetic pursuit is necessary, and if
fresh infantry from the reserve is avail
able, it, assisted by the cavalry and horse
artillery, can turn the retreat into rout
and completely destroy the opposing army.
The commander of the army acting on
the defensive will select position which
will if possible give clear field of fire to
the front and TANKS, which in extent is
suitable for the size of his command,
whose location will force the enemy to
attack or abandon his advance, which will
give the greatest cover to his troops from
the enemy's fire and concealment from
his view The TANKS of the position should
rest on ground that is naturally strong or
can be easily fortified, or better still an
impossible river or lake The line of re-
treat should if practicable run directly in
the rear of the center of the position so
that in case of defeat the army can be
withdrawn with the least delay and ex-
posure.
Unless the defender has equality or
superiority of artillery, he will during the
preliminary stage keep his main positions
concealed by not allowing his artillery to
respond. During the decisive action he
must meet the assault, and, if it is stopped,
he should make counter attack at once
before the assailants can either reform
or be reinforced. In case the defense has
been unsuccessful, retreat is imperative,
and the commander must use every means
to delay the advance of the victorious
army as long as possible to enable his
shattered forces to reform at previously
selected rallying point
