Miles career on the plains with more wonde
than they do his career in the war of secession
History has shown that some men lacking il
early military training can spring full-fedged int
warriorhood when the time offers. This has helC
to be true, however, only of certain kinds of war
fare. It was always supposed by the old reg
ulars that no soldier could make successful
Indian fighter until he had been for years on
the plains and had learned the ways Of the
savage Miles went through SIX great Indian
campaigns, and carried every one of them to
success He was one of the greatest Indian
fighters of American history.
Not many years after the civil war the Chey-
ennes, the Arapahoes. the Kiowas and the Co.
manches formed a league and raided the from
tier. Miles went after them. IL was his first
great Indian engagement He completely
smashed the reds in a hard, driving fighting
campaign. He did that which was prophesied
he could not do and he did it so effectively
that these warlike plains Indians never again
took the warpath.
Later, Gen. Miles took up the trail Of Sitting
Bull and Crazy Horse, with the Fifth infan-
try and a few companies of the Twenty-second
infantry Crook and Terry had accomplished
comparatively nothing against the bands OF
these chiefs, but Miles followed them relent-
lessly with his handful OF men, fought them
VIGOROUSLY time after time, and finally cap
tured 1000 of them and sent them into the
agencies.
IT was Gen. Miles who overcame the great
est Indian general who ever fought west OF
the Mississippi river-Chief Joseph of the Nez
Perces It Miles who broke the power of
the Apaches, and it was Miles who made the
Bannocks and the Minneconjous sue for peace
This clerk who became a soldier, battled for
peace the frontier, and won his battle
Lieut.. Gen Miles loves gold braid and the
shiniest of shiny gold buttons. Again, it is the
one weakness of great American soldier

BY this time Gen Young had pulled himself
together, and he said quickly: ~ have visited
Chicago and Cincinnati The emperor roared
and went over and shared the joke with the
empress.
When Young came out of the civil war ne
dropped his brigadier generalship of volunteers
for second lieutenancy of regulars. At the
beginning OF the Spanish-American war Gen.
Young sent to Cuba brigadier gen.
eral
Prior to the outbreak of the Theodore
Roosevelt had said to Gen. Young that he
would like to go to the front with the cavalry
men--to the real front, where there were bull
lets flying.
After the battle of Las Guasmas, the man
who afterward became president of the United
States, came up to Gen Young with look OF
joy all over his face, held out his hand, and
said: by George, general, you certainly made
good on those bullets"
Yellow fever laid its hand on Gen Young
in Cuba AS soon as he had recovered he
went to the Philippines and there in ac-
tive service in the field for several years. He
succeeded Gen. Miles as chief of the general
staff and lieutenant general of the army. He
retired from the service about four years ago,
after having followed the flag for 43 years,

ord Cen Young has served in every rank
known to the military organization, barring only
that OF general, a rank which stands by itself
and which stands in the American service by
only few men. When he was boy Lieut. Gen
Young was private of volunteers. He was as
proud when he was made a corporal as he was
on that day five years ago, when his commits
sion as lieutenant general of the army of the
United States was signed by Theodore Roose-
welt who had fought the Cuban battlefields
under the eye OF the man he was commission
ing.
1t took Gen Young only six months to reach
the grade of captain. He given the COM
mand of troop of the Fourth Pennsylvania
cavalry, and his liking for the mounted serv-
ice was such that he stayed in the saddle all
through his career as a regular. The general
served four years with the Pennsylvania vol
unteor cavalry and before he left its ranks
he had led it in battle as its commanding of
fcer In every fight from that at Mechanics
vile to the skirmish which preceded the sur
render at AppomattoX, the Pennsylvania sol
der had part
Only one two officers in the United States
service received more bTevet commissions for
gaantry iii action than did Gen. Young. The
list is long one, and it includes recognition
for gallant and meritorious services at the
Battle of sulphur Springs, Amelia Spring, Sail
ors Creek and final brevet as brigader gen.
eral for gallant and meritorious service dur
ing the campaign terminating with the surren-
der of the insurgent army under Gen Robert
+. Lee"
At the battle of Gaines Mills, Young's squad
ron of the Fourth cavalry was cut OFF from
the rest of the command by large force of
the enemy. He ordered his men to dismount
and to fight on foot.

they were holding off an apparently ov-
erwheming force, when bullet struck the
maior-that was Young's rank at the time
in the elbow, SCATTERING the bone. He
kept on fighting, but finally the surgeons
made him submit to Observation-Disclosures
treatment.
While they were at it, the horses of the
peded and went through the line, doing
much damage with their heels. Wounded
as he was, Maj. Young succeeded in keep
ing up the heart Of his troopers, who now
had no means Of escape from the tremen-
dous force at their front, except their own
legs, and he succeeded in holding them to
their duty until they were enabled to draw
off in something like oAer. If one wishes
to get an idea of the hell of war let him
know that on that day the losses Of NAL
Young's command were 80 per cent. of the
men engaged.
A writer in the Washington Herald soms~
time ago told a story of Gen. Young at the
time that he was in Germany on assign
ment from the war department to watch
the maneuvers of Kaiser Williams army.
1t seems that the general on his way to Ber-
lin had stopped for day at Dresden, and
while there he was told that 1t would not
do to let Emperor William know that he
had made visit to any town in Germany
before paying his respects to the kaiser at
the capital The general met the emperor,
and as the newspaper writer has it, the first
question the emperor put was: "Is this the
first place in Germany you have visited?'
The general was startled by the sudden
ness of the attack and he blurted: "Oh. no,
your majesty"
Indeed" said the emperor, surprised.
What other German towns have you
visited"
