the japanese army is strong, sufficiently organized

those who give their lives or render heroic and
extraordinary services. The same may be said of
the strong army of the Sultan of Turkey. The army
of Russia is one of the most powerful in the world
made up of people practically of the same race and
religion proud of their history and achievements
and faithful in the discharge of their duties to an
autocratic Government The ideal army for Ger
many, for instance, is not at all the ideal army for
the United States
The spirit of the army must grow out of the spirit
of the nation; must be governed by national char
acteristics. The American volunteer could not be
made piece of military machinery like the Prussan
conscr1pt, and the German peasant, with his tradi-
tons would be out of place in the American ranks

conditions The Germans have had great difficulty
in maintaining their prestige in Africa against the
Herreros, fighting in their way and in their

war has into hundreds of millions and the
casualties into thousands; and in spite of the
remarkable showing of the Japanese army in the

the mounted man had his day, and his friends
loudly sang the praises of cavalry and mounted

The last war completes the cycle Then the
artillery fought under almost ideal conditions The
country was of course well known to the Russians
who had occupied it, and had been thoroughly
mapped out by the Japanese at the time of the
Chinese War and subsequently, 1t is largely a
rolling country, practically barren of timber, and
dotted with small towns in which the Manchurian
farmer lives The towns built of thick mud
walls and offered excellent targets to the artillery
of both sides, to whom the distances were well
known. They were like the hamlets of Napoeons

So every nation models its army after it's own
likeness and according to its needs it foresees
Them and their relative efficiency is determined by
the conditions under which they fight, and the two
uncertain factors of generalshp and luck which can
never be eliminated from the art of war The only

German system, and wonderfully initiative would
have stood bad defeat in the feld-a Chancelors-
vile Gettysburg for instance Their magnif-
cent heroism in successful attack and even their
terrible repulses at Port Arthur offer no data by
which to judge their ability to withstand disaster
in the open field, when not merely the individual
soldier, who has been repulsed in the attack, but
the whole fabric of the army, is morally shaken and
the defeated army driven before the fury of vic
torious host whether it would rally in night and
resolute defiant, immovable position on
the dawn of the following day, the American
armies have frequently done. Then it is that the
army and people prove themselves.
1t is very much on these two systems which
may call the machine and the individual, that
armies of the world organized. depending the
spirit of the nation and its need of relatively large
small army.
Our isolation from military Europe, and the fact
that we have powerful neighbors armed and
glazing at us an imaginary boundary line, are
great blessings to u.s. Germany, the other hand,
must train practically every able bodied man to
bear arms, and keep hundreds of thousands enrolled
which constitute her reserves. The German military
establishment permeates and embraces the entire
Empire, SO that in of an emergency practically
all the male population of the nation could be made
available for military naval service. This may
be regarded as the extreme limit of preparation and
organization of a country for purposes of war The
military service of France is less severe and does not
embrace large percentage of men capable of
bearing arms that drilled and instructed in
military knowledge The English service is more
like our own, and is not compulsory.
The Plan of the People
In the United States people have acted on
higher and better principle that every is
sovereign citizen having the right to bear arms and
that only small percentage of the physical force
is required in practical military service Our prn-
cipe has been to maintain only a small standing
army, and to rely the militia of the several States
as grand reserve that could be utilized and within
a short time efficiently organized for in time of
war. Yet all men between the ages of eighteen and
forty-five could be made available in of a
serious war, such the invasion of the country.
The proportion of the arms of the service infantry
cavalry, and artillery in army, question also
depending largely the conditions in the theater
of war This has been singularly well demonstrated
by recent fought in four continents and under
very different conditions. Infantry has, throughout
almost the entire military history of the world been
considered the main body of an army. 1t predomi-
mated in Napo1eonic wars and in very large degree
in our great Civil War, and in the Franco German
War. When, however, the English attempted to
subdue the Beers, the who could shoot and
ride fighting in unlimited rolling country
whose people were strongly pro-Boer in their
sympathes, it was very different question Then

LIEUTENANT GENERAL NELSON A. MILES

'HHE word efficient" must embrace the
most useful the best organized, and most
reliable army for the nation. Of course
- the most important feature would be the
principle upon which it is organized and
governed, and the motives and character that
inspire it.
The army best trained to fight Gravelotte battles
the open plains of Europe, the army best able
to take OF itself in the jungle of Mindanao? The
army made machine, system, the parts of which
one brain moves as moves chess pieces liable
to disorder and disorganization, machine is
thereby rendered extremely vulnerable, division
unable to help another in time of stress through
hopeless pedantry and blind following of forms; or
army of individual men who think for themselves
fight for themselves, and to some extent unwieldy
and often uncertain because of its inordnate ndi-
vduality? l take extreme to illustrate my
point that answer the question except
by saying that what would be effective army and
powerful engine of suitable for the Mikado of
Japan would be entirely out of place, Inefficient and
dangerous for democracy.
