Six years ago the sword was abol.
ished In the British army as the weap-
on of the unmounted officer. It was
considered a useless weapon and a
dangerous mark Of distinction to re-
veal to the enemy's sharpshooters.

cause experience showed that the en-
envy could distinguish the oficer by
his position, and that In close con-
iict the sword Is a useful weapon. The
restoration affects a much larger army
than any that fights In the field, the
army of minor poets, for whom the
