who has to walk as we'll as
fight-may we'll bless the year
~ 1911, for the weight of his kit
is to be lessened by almost
one-half. The regulation Sc Id. is cut
to 46 lb. with everything on, and
stripped for real work in the field the
foot soldier will carry but 80 lb. now,
thus fitting him the better for march
Ing and fighting. When a soldier goes
into a fight there are certain thingo
which he must carry If he is going tc
be Of any use to his country. These
are, first of all, his weapons-rifle or
revolver-and the proper ammunition,
the first-aid packet, one intrenching
tool, water-a thirsty soldier cannot
hit flock Of barns-a mess kit, and
then more ammunition. Nowadays
210 rounds are not considered any too
much for the first dole of ammunition.
What he does not need in a fight il
his shelter-the dog tent" overcoat,
blanket, and poncho.
Today the intrenching tool is re-
garded as next in Importance to the
weapon: Each man carries either a
pick mattock, shovel, or an axe.
Certain men also have wire-clippers.
With shovels whole regiment can
hide itself in little holes in thirty Sec
onds, and dead soldiers are no use to
a government. The old days Of
standing up in the face of the bullets
are gone now. The only time a SOL
der shows himself to the enemy, II
he can help it, is in the final rush.
Advances are not permitted until SUI
periority of fire is assured.
But there are score Of marches to
every skirmish, and the tabulated list
gives the essential things chat each
1Efantryman must carry with him, all
OF which are distributed more o. less
evenly about his person.
Here is the tabulated list of the
United States infantryman's kit:

Scores Of further suggestions from
officers have been received by the
United States war department, which
Is responsible for this new departure,
to make the soldier more efficient in
time of war. An ambulant kitchen
a range on wheels which can cook a
meal on the march-is one of the
newest wrinkles proposed. Automo-
biles for a mobile army are demanded
now. The blanket has been cut to
weigh lb. 1t is proposed 20 abolish
the coat in the field and substitute a
sweater in its place.
Other recommendations are that
the sergeants carry no rife in the
field but have revolvers and bolos in
stead. Likewise the cooks are to be
relieved of the rifle and have revolver
and bolo. thus enabling them to carry
sufficient utensile to cook for the
company when other transportation
has been abandoned.
1t is proposed to do away with the
old campaign hat and to substitute
che mounted police hat, which has a
lower crown and a wider brim and is
moro comfortable. With 1t goes the

pany will carry at kit for mending for
the entire outfit. A neckerchief is to
be made part Of the uniform. Omcers
will not carry their sabres in the
field. and tobacco and soap will be
made part Of the ration. The foot

as the police at the station had ascer-

NEW CASTLE. Nov. Interest was
at high ebb last night at the meet
ing OF City Council. President ].
Eugene Wallace, OF the Wilmington
and Southern Traction Company, de-
clared it would be an injustice to pass
the ordinance compelling all cars run
ming in the city to carry full crews.
When Council met in special session
20 give the ordinance the third read
ing. Mr.. Wallace asked what was the
particular reason for such an ordin-
ance.
President Cannon replied that tho
people of the town believed the cars
we're not safe without conductor and
had forced the members Of Council to
pass the ordinance.
Mr. Wallace felt there should be a
hearing on the subject Continuing,
Mr. Wallace said:
Let those who complain have their
say. and let the company have a
chance 10 reply. AS far as the par
ticular merits OF the case are con-
cerned the same thing is done on
every car in Henderson. KY, a city
Of 25.000, and in numerous places
where spur lines are operated to de-
velop the territory, and while such a
service improves the system the one
man car helps the company's ex-
penses. Gentlemen, earnings have
dropped on, and trafiic is light We
would be glad to see New Castle in
crease the traf1c.
This action on the ordinance is
SNAP Judgment. You get in here, and
while you do not understand, you
slam It in here and slam It through.
II costs the company over 500 a
month to keep one man who waits NJ
Seventh and South streets for the
New Castle people. The conductors
are instructed not to chase the boys
until the cars stop. IT, never was
our intention TO make this arrange
ment permanent We are now spend

faster service These cars viii be
equipped with hot water heat We
ouEht TO be allowed TO work out our
own salvation. and there should be
a hearing. We got TO limit our ex-
penses. If you pass this ordinance
we will not contest It. We cannot
afford TO put on two men at cost of
5000 a month. IL is an absolute in
iustice. and beginning on Monday the
cars from 9 till o'clock will run
every forty minutes and the same al
ter 7 o'clock in the evening"
Before the vote was taken on the
ordinance President Cannon, Messrs.
Stoops. Poole. Sullivan and Newlove
held a cross-hre discussion with
President Wallace. and the ordinance
was given its third reading Presi-
dent Wallace told General Manager
Hambledon that he knew what tho
ordinanee- meant, hut the one-man cal
was not put In service this morning
and MS the cars cannot at present
make the run from the Reading rail
way to Seventh and South streets

President Wallace is undecided re-
garding the service for Dobbinsville

the cars as equipped at present can
not make the run on a twenty min
ute schedule.
