ton would have been long deferred had not
advancing years compelled Mrs. Logan to cur
tail her domestic responsibilities.
General Logans widow has been for years
the recipient of pension of several thousand
dollars a year-one of the largest annuities
paid by Uncle Sam to any woman except the
widows of presidents-and this income, COM
bned with the revenue from her extensive
literary work, enabled her to maintain for
years a handsome residence the heights
overlooking Washington and the United States
capitol building, where her late husband had
a notable career as United States senator fol-
lowing his service in the army. When, how
ever the care of this residence became too
much for Mrs Logan some disposition had to
be made of the great relic collection which
had overlooked the entire house and had oc-
cupied in particular one immense room, which
was in effect a memorial museum. Included
in the collection it may be explained are not
only the books formerly owned by General
Logan and many volumes bearing upon him,
as we'll as countless pictures Of the swarthy
warrior but his swords, battle flags, the gifts
and decorations bestowed by individual admir-
ers and the United States and foreign govern
ments. and even the mounted figure of the
famous war eagle that was so conspicuously
identified with Logans command during the
most trying periods of the war.
Easily the most imposing existing memorial
to General Logan is the handsome equestrian
statue in bronze which occupies Iowa circle
or Logan circle, as it is sometimes called, one
of the miniature parks or plazas at the seat
of government. This statue, which cost $685.
600 was authorized by the congress Of the
United States in the year 1889. The national
legislature appropriated $4,000 and the Grand
Ar1ny of the Republican the head of which
General Logan had been when he originated
Memorial Day-donated $4,000.
The Logan statue, which it is believed Will
be the forerunner of others that will ultimate
" be erected in other parts Of the country,
was unveiled in the spring Of 1901 in the pres
ence of a most distinguished company ana II

ing. He Joined the Sixth, which was
then stationed in Arizona. There he
had plenty of opportunity to show
that fearlessness which had won him
a commission, and that he was fully
equal to the occasion is attested by
the fact that he wears a medal OF
honor bestowed by congress for a
heroic exploit in the Apache CAM
paign, where Gen. Leonard Wood.
then a young army surgeon, won SIM
liar recognition.
In a fight on Cibicu creek the SOL
diers. leaving several badly wounded
men on the ground behind them, had
been driven along to place of shell
ter by the Apaches. No sooner were
the troops safely lodged than volun-
teers were called to bring in the
wounded men. Lieutenant Carter
was one of those who volunteered,
and in the face of a CALLING fire from
the Indians, who were protected be-
hind the rocks on the hillside, he
went forth with two companions, and
one by one brought in the wounded

with flowers From Dixie the pretty CUSTOM
spread to the north and took root in various
communities. However there was no gehei"
celebration and no fixed date for the placlns
of the floral tributes until in the year 1900
General Logan, then acting as commander-ln-
chief of the Grand Army Of the Republic, took
the initiative that secured for us Memorial
Day as we know it in this generation he
issued an order fixing May 80 as the date for
the annual Memorial Day exercises and called
uDon every G.. A. r. post in the country 10
engage in fitting ceremonial and scatter to-
kens of respect over the last resting places OF
their comrades in arms Later the leg1sla-
lures of various states took up the project and
made the designated day legal holiday.
When we appreciate the very important
part that General Logan played in the estab-
lishment of of the most Significant hol1-
days on our calendar it is easy to find signif-
canoe in the circumstance that every year
after his death there has come a profusion of
floral offerings to the chapel in the national
cemetery connected with the National Sol
diers' home at Washington, where the warrior
was laid to rest. 1t has been matter of re-
greet with some of his comrades that the IA
nous leader of the Army Of the Tennessee
was not at his death honored with an elabo-
rate monumental tomb such as has been
erected over the remains of other dominant
figures in the war for the Union.
And yet in a way 1t would be difficult to
find more fitting environment for the found
er of Memorial Day in his last dreamless
sleep. The National Soldiers home at Wash
ington was the forerunner of those homes now
scattered all over the country and including.
of course, the Illinois Soldiers home at DAN
Vile, where General Logan, as citizen Of Hi
nois, Is always especially honored Memo
rial Day and other ceremonial occasions. The
national cemetery connected with the first of
our national soldiers homes is much over
Swallowed in size by its neighboring national
cemetery, Arlington, across the Potomac, yet
more than 5000 Federal dead are buried on
the wooded slope where General Logan was
laid to rest. Fortunately there are only about
three hundred unknown occupants of this
silent city and all the graves-including more
than two hundred where Confederate soldiers
are buried-are decorated alike on Memorial
Day by the veterans in blue from the neigh
boring soldiers home.
Easily the most interesting of all the re-
minders Of the personality and career of the
founder of Memorial Day are the relics and
trophies which for years had place in the Me
mortal room in the residence of Mrs. John A.
Logan at Washington. Here were gathered
thousands of objects bearing In one way and
another upon the life and public service Of the
dashing Civil war leader. 1t is probable that
ell thought of transferring this unique collec-

The figure of General Logan as represented
in this statue, 141a feet in height, is character

his sword drawn and carried low in his right

country can boast comparatively few memo
rails to the who was responsible for the
creation of Memorial Day as we know it. 1t
Is not claimed that the idea of Memorial Day
originated with Gen. John A. Logan, but GER
tainly to him belongs the credit for inaugu-
rating Decoration Day in May as a definite,
fixed annual event of uniform observance in
the great majority of the states of the Union.
According to most authorities Decoration
Day in it's primary form had it's inception in
the south, where the presence of unusual
quantities of spring flowers and the sad cir
cumstance of the existence on every hand of
burying grounds for the soldier dead of the
Union and Confederate armies combined to
suggest such an annual strewing of the graves

army with its general staff or board of direc-
tors, but in even greater degree is 1t evidence
Of the value of that comparatively new instl-
tuition, the U. s. Army War College. The news
paper-reading public has been told repeatedly
these past few years that 1t is the special prov.
ince Of the officers detailed to duty in the great
red brick building, overlooking the Potomac
in Washington, to have on hand and to keep
constantly up to date detailed plans Of cam
paign for use in the event of war with any
other nation However, the present instance
affords the country at large its first real ex-
amplification of the practical value of the In
formation that is kept under such close guard
in the plan vault and the map rooms of the
War College.
1t was shown by the rapidity with which or
ders were formulated and issued for this sud
den movement of the largest body Of troops
that has been handled at any one time since
the Spanish war that the War College has de-
pendable information as to just what can be
expected Of the railroads IN an emergency.
This showed, too, the wisdom Of Uncle Sans
policy Of keeping his war plans up to the min
ute by revising them every time there is
change of railroad schedules for, in this in
stance, most Of the troops Travelled by regular
trains instead Of by special trains and the lat.
ter would presumably be resorted to only in
the case Of extreme emergency.
Another feature Of the plans for the army In
action for which the big trek to Texas has
proven most beneficial dress rehearsal is that
which contemplates reliance upon the tele-
graph system of the country in the movement
of troops. The use of the network of wires
covering the continent in the event Of war,
has been the subject Of study on the part Of
the military experts that has gone hand in
hand with the investigation as to how the rail-
road arrangements could be made to promote
the mobility Of the military force. This work
ed out Just as anticipated the day orders we're
issued for the advance to Texas and there
poured into the department continual stream
Of teegrams that kept the officials advised in
detail as to the movement Of every body Of
troops headed for the rendezvous in the Lone
Star State
1t may be trine early to talk about the les
sons to be drawn from this taste Of war but
one is already apparent 1t emphasizes that
the field artillery yet has a very important
place in our military paraphernalia. There has
been disposition on the part Of some people,
Of late years, to regard any considerable
amount of neld artillery as not the most useful
equipment for the American army. Such advo-
Gates took the view that Uncle Sam ought to
put his money into heavy coast defense guns
just as he is concentrating his naval expendi-
ture upon battleships of the heaviest class.
However, the unexpected call to Texas empha-
sizing as 1t did, vistas Of trouble that had been
completely overlooked in contemplation Of the
yellow peril" called attention to the possible
sore need for ample field artillery under Ger.
The Southern herald., 1911-05-26

might prove as invaluable in the mountains OF
Mexico as they have under somewhat similar
conditions in the Philippines.
Similarly the conditions existing at the scene
Of the present campaign are such as to empha-
size the fact that there is yet very important
sphere for the cavalry in the army.
It as though the crisis In this unexpected quar-
ter were a provdential answer to the argu-
ments of those persons in and out of official
life who have been urging In recent years
that the footsoldier should be practically the
whole thing In our military complement 1t
must be apparent to everybody who is even
casually conversant with geographical condi-
tions that If Uncle Sam is to keep peace From
the Canal to Canada" he will have need Of
considerable cavalry force and a force pro
vided with the best possible class of mounts.
There are mountainous localities in the region
to the south Of us where only cavalry could
operate successfully Neither automobiles nor
yet aeroplanes would serve as a substitute.
And incidentally it may be noted that conditions
on the Mexican border have afforded an OPP
portunity much earlier than was anticipated to
test the practical military value of the airship.
The servicabillty of the sky craft for scouting
operations ought to be pretty well attested ere
the troops return to their home stations.
No better theater Of war; real or mimic, than
the southwest could be chosen for demon
strating the progress made during the past few
years, both In the methods and equipment OF
the u s. Signal corps The general public,
with its craving for the spectacular, has heard
most regarding the introduction Of the aero
plane as a utensil of warfare but as a matter
of fact the Signal Corps has recently intro
duced innovations far more important from a
military standpoint than the aerial scouts, and
these communicative utilities and novelties for
day and night signaling would obviously prove
especially valuable in rough country where
there are few existing telephone or telegraph
wires and where the erection of such lines
would be difficult and expensive. The Signal
Corps is fully abreast of the times land of the
military establishment of any other nation) in
its experiments with wireless telegraphy and
wireless telephony and 1t has developed some
very ingenious expedients for the use Of rap
idly moving forces in the fleld-as for instance,
the auto-telegraph car or telephone and tele-
graph station on wheels and the apparatus
which enables a mounted trooper to lay or reel
In telephone wire automatically while his
horse is at full gallop, the rider meanwhile con-
tinuing telephone conversation over this elastic
wire.
1t is expected that when the joint operations
of the army and navy In the south have passed
into history the record of operations will af-
ford argument one way or another as to what
shall be done with the U. s. Marine Corps.
Our readers will recall that this force, the sol
diers of the navy" has been for some time past
a bone of contention In service and official cir
cles. Many persons have contended for years
