nothing to be desired, unless It be his over
anxiety to continue firing after the cease
fire" has sounded In direct opposition TO our
English methods the non-commissioned ofn
GERS have power TO hit a man for slackness
stupidity or non-obedence OF orders, whereas
one soldier striking another Is most severely
dealt with especially as Spaniards Invariably
fight 1t out" with the knife.
The officers are keen and we'll informed
and their care for the mems comfort is not
able. Here is an example: We had Just re-
turned from convoy duty and on returning to
camp we're glad to find an excellent cold SOUP
prepared with oil, water, vinegar and vege-
tables, The officers OF each company stood
around seeing that the men got their due por-
tion, first having tasted II to assure themselves
OF the quality OF the food.
Some OF the Spanish methods In the field
are unusual. The firing line, for instance.
starts with a rifle a yard but the advance, in.
stead OF being conducted In line, follows this
plan Each squad of six to 10 men under a
corporal. on the signal to advance being given,
wheels around and doubles toward the next
cover in Indian fle extending into line as the
cover is reached: in this way the whole line
may advance simultaneously, squad by
squad the advantage claimed being the small.
ness OF target offered to the enemy during the
rush forward.
As by force OF experience we learned in
South Africa the absolute necessity OF using
all cover, so the soldier here. after his first
few fights. in which the losses were so alto
gether disproportionate to the successes
gained, found that to compete with the Moors
required all his cunning and was no mere field
day. Now during the advance he makes full
use of all stones and depressions In the
ground The only fault note is that he is too
prone to make of the kneeling position
from behind cover, thus exposing the head and
shoulders to fire.

COUNTRY CLEARLY AT FAULT
Provisions for Taking Care Of unfor-
tunate tuberculosis Victims Are
All Too Meager.

States at least 100000 consumptives
who are so poor that they cannot paJ

cluosis sanitoria and hospitals. Some
or them can pay small amounts
week for their maintenance. but the
great majority of them cannot pay any
thing. For this large class OF pa
tients the entire country has provided
only 10000 beds for the free treatment
OF tuberculosis. In Alabama. Arkan-
sas. Idaho Kansas, Mississippi. Mon
tana. Nevada, North Dokota. Okla
homa. Oregon, Philippine islands.
South Dakota, Texas, Utah. West
Virginia and Wyoming there is no
place where the consumptive without
means can be treated but in the jails
or the insane asylums of these states.
and In most cases he will get no treat.
ment there. Sixteen other states pro-
vide less than so beds each for poor
consumptives. In only two states,
Massachusetts, and New York. have
beds for needy tuberculosis patients
been provided. so that at least one
In ten may find place for treatment.
In many OF the other states not one
In fifty Of the destitute consumptives
can find bed In hospital or sana-
