TEACHING HIGHER TACTICS.
Lectures Delivered At The Army
College.

Washington, ID. c., March An
interesting series of military lectures
I'm which but few army officers are
admitted, has been opened here and
tbe lectures will be delivered every
Thursday afternoon at the Army War
College in this city. The lectures are
delivered TO the officers detailed for
duty with the college, and one officer
each representing each branch sof the
service in the War Department..
They comprise a systematic discus.
sion Of the employment of infantry.
cavalry and artillery and the respec.
tive special staff corps instime of war.
together with such subjects as mill.
tary fire and the system of communi.
cation on the battlefield. These lee
lures have TO do with preparedness for
conflict, and represent the most expert
views obtainable of the duties of the
various branches of the military es-
tablishment in the field in the pres
cnoe of the enemy.
These comments are Influenced to a
great extent by the information which
has been brought from Manchuria nv
the service observers Ewith the Jana.
nesea nd Russian troops in the recent
conflict. In many respects the theo.
ries Of the past have been -sheIved by
reason Of new equipmeng and new
methods which we're first practically
tested in the battles in Manchuria.

represented the various armies are

branches are still Indispensable in
most engagements and that there is no

the State on Fridy, March %. with
fitting ceremonies. The day is the
anniversary of the landing of the
Maryland Pilgrims, when the two
little vessels, the Ark and Dove. after
voyage that had lasted over many
months. aud which had included
many hardships, lauded with their
cargo of first Marylanders at ST. Glenn

The anniversary for many years had
been unnoticed excepting for the OBJ.
servation accorded it by members of
certain patriotic societies, but in the
past few years the Importance OF such
an event has been emphasized. and in
February, 1908. the following resolu.
tion was passed by the State Board of
Education:
Resolved, by the State Board of
Education, That the 25th day of
March in each year be devoted in all
the public schools to the effective
presentation of some particular event
IN the history OF the State; that it is
recommended that the Association of
School Commissioners and Examiners
AkSDtldJlO0
join in requesting the General Assem-.
bly, of Maryland to appoint March 25
as Maryland Day, and to provide for
its appropriate annual celebration. -
The idea was also adopted in the
city schools, and each year there has
been some observation of the day.
This year tho event comes upon a Sun
day, SO it is probable that any pro.
gram which may be arranged will be
given either upon the preceding Fri.
day or upon Monday. The exercises
usually take the form of an essay up.
on some subject of historical interest
to Marylanders and patriotic songs
The debarkation from tine Ark aud
Dove was made at St Clements Isle,
which Father White, a priest and his.
torian, says consisted of about 400
acres. This island has been washed
away since then. At the time Cover.
nor Calvert decided that, while il was
too small for a settlement, it would
be wise to build a fort there. The
description of the landing. gained
mainly from the records left by
Faher White, is that of a very solemn
event. A solemn mass was celebrated,
and Governor Calvert and his little
band of pioneers set up large cross
hewn from tree. The "J4itany of
the Holy Cross was also read.

FOR tIieir generatIon, the spirit OF NIB

aud the right of each man to his indi-
vidual religious beliefs was always
fully protected. The records show
that the law was rigid in furnishing
those who tried to interfere with this
right. An idea of how the maryland
shore appealed to the voyagers 'uay be
cleaned from an extract from the diary
of Father White who thus speaks of
his first view:
Never have / beheld larger or
more beautiful river. The Thames
seems mere rivulet in comparison
with it. Fine groves of trees appear,
not choked with bushes and under
growth, but growing at intervals, as
if planted by hand, so that you might

The Armory And Market House

Messrs. Editors 81 regret to learu
through your recent issue that Sena.
tor Gadd's bill for an armory has fail.
ed in the Senate. Let me guggest a
way in which it may yet be built.
The city needs new, larger and more
np-to-da market house. The State
needs the armory. The space occu
pied by the old market house aud
the vacant land as far as the corner of
Main street would be an admirable
site for both.
Let the State subscribe twenty
thousand dollars and tho city ten
thousand and build together. the
lower floor for the market and the
FHIlpff FHInlpffra raRr afRr the ilIeyIa IaTmQIY. In this way a
could be built than even if the fifty
Thousand had been given by the State
for a large part of that would have
been used for the purchase of a site.
Will not you, Messrs. Editors, our city
authorities, our representatives in
the legislature aud our citizens geuer-
ally, take up this matter in earnest
If they will, by the beginning Of the
new year we may have an armory and
a market house which will be credit
to the state and city.
l feel sure that our Governor will dc
all he can can to further this object
| will make another suggestion. The
State is, by far, the largest owner Of
valuable buildings in the city, but
not one cent does she cronJribute t
the support of our fire department.
In the old times of hand fire engine:
she owned and kept some in repair
and furnished hose. Should she no
have fine steam fire engine in lieT
of that should she not contribute &
the support of our fire department
She owns thirty thousand dollars o
our water company's stock. If sh'
will do nothing more, should she no
contribute the dividends on that stool
for this object?
AS the oldest living ex Mayor o.
Annapolis both in point of years anC
priority of service, | venture to maxi
these suggestions and hope they vii
meet with favorable consideration.
Very respectfully,
John Il. Magruder.
