THE TALK or THE DAY.

Military critics, both at home and abroad have
expressed the opinion that one Of the causes of
assertion from the United States army was the
lack OF regmental spirit and pride in serving with
some particular corps or regiment The America,
system of clothing every organization alike and re-
garding the army as the unit To which the soldier
should become attached has been criticised by Brit
lsh officers particularly. The first official attenpt
TO create the spirit Of the regiment is contained
In paragraph in "A recent order issued bv Major
'eheTaI Grant from his headquarters on Governors

TO the establishment of schools for officers and on
hsted men. and contains the following: Care will
ne taken to Instruct non-commissioned officers in
