had neglected. He hesitated and then
determined to try. He fixed the first les
son for the following day, thus gaining
sort of preparation. 1t was Thursday,
the weekly half holiday in French
schools. and Fabre stirred up the coke
fire in his cell of a room and sat down
in front of it to do some hard thinking.
1t was rather tough situation. Be
sides knowing nothing of algebra, he
had no text book on the subject. and
even if it had been possible OF buy one
in Corsica offhand he had no money.
Then he had an inspiration. The master
of sciences had study and laboratory
at the college, and the keys of all the
masters rooms were of the same pat
tern. Fabre decided to break the eighth
commandment pro tenn and purloin the
science masters text book till he could
afford to buy one of his own. Shaking
in his shoes. he unlocked the door of his
superior's room, helped himself to the
badly needed volume and in less than no
time was back In his own room and turn
ing over the pages.
Next day he gave his first lesson. He
explained the first principles to his pupil,
himself, and he and the confidinS youth
worked out the problems together with
highly satisfactory results. And so the
lessons went on-the pupil little dream
ing that his master often was as much al

means were necessary. Meanwhile every

of them, he gave to the world in the first

conditions that prevail in time OF war.
The maneuvering forces are divided into
two commands, separated by forty or
fifty miles, and the two commanders are
then given q problem-or situation, as it
is called, the solution of which under
war conditions would require eight or
ten days. or the ordinary period for
which the militia can do service in the
field in the summer. The two command
ers are then allowed to operate against
each other as they would in war. They
are required to do all those things that
would be demanded of them by war.
They must get their own information of
the enemy. his location and what he in
tends to do and on this they will base
their decision as to what they will do
I'm the first days of the period the two
forces will gradually approach each
other. During these marches they have
to establish depots of supplies and bring
the supplies to them by rail. and then
the supplies have to be hauled from the
railroads to the camps and distributed
to the commands. All of these problems
the commanders and their staffS have to
work out. After the first day or two the
cavalry of the opposing sides probably
will come together. and there will prob
ably be cavalry fights, with success for
one side or the other the successful Jslde
generally being able to drive the other
cavalry back and get information of the
infantry that is some miles behind it.

maneuvers last summer. due allowance
has not been made for this condition in
the maneuvers of the past. 1t Is not un-
usual for regular troops to march fifteen
miles per day carrying the full pack. but
Lnseasoned militia cannot do this.
I'm Massachusetts last summer the
marches for the first few days of the
maneuver campaign were limited to five
or six miles, and nothing was carried in
the pack excepting the poncho and shelter
tent Even SO, the marches were found
to be overwhelming to the raw militia.
and if any change is made this year it
will be to shorten the first marches to
four or five miles per day. The distance
the militia will be allowed to march on
any day, and the amount of pack to be
carried. will be prescribed by the chief
umpire, and this constitutes the first limi-
tation put on the commanders of the OPP
posing forces The mistake has been
made in the past Of demanding too much
of the militia, and the result has been a
state of physical exhaustion not conducive
to proper instruction.
THE manner in which commanders
handle their forces in fighting a real cam
paign of this sort can best be explained
by a brief statement of how this was
done in Massachusetts last year. for

paign for the maneuver camp. The old
maneuver idea was a permanent camp to
which the militia of particular state
would go for q period of eight or ten
days instruction, and then would be re-
placed by the militia of another state.
A detachment of regular troops remained
in the camp permanently throughout the
entire instruction period for all the
states. The militia took with it to these
camps it's big tents. camp cots. trunks
and all the other conveniences and COM
forts that are allowed In permanent
camp of this nasare. During the period II
remained in the camp the militia would
be instructed in close order drills. manual
of arms guard duty and the like, and
would be given few battle exercises.
These latter We're generally very unsatis-
factory, because of the unnatural condi-
tons under which they were given.
The maneuver camp furnished much
valuable instruction, but it did not pre-
pare the militia for the real difficulties
that would confront it if it were sudden
ly called into the field in the event Of
war and things it would be expected to
do under those circumstances would be
very different from what 1T was required
to do in the maneuver camp. In war it
would have to make marches and go into
camp wherever it happened to be at the
instead of large tentage; the arrange
ments for cooking would not be SO COM
plete; the comforts would be only those
to be had in actual campaign under war
conditions: outposts would have to be put
out to protect the camp; the command
frequently would rest during the night
confronted with the possibility of being
attacked before morning; the next day
the camp would be broken, all camp
euuipage would be loaded on the wagons;
the command would again take up the
march: advance guards would be put out
10 protect the marching column: the out
posts that were out the night before
would be drawn in: the wagons would be
collected into a train and gotten into
their proper position in the rear of the
marching column: cavalry would be sent
out in front to discover the enemy If
he We're near. and frequently the march
ing column would find it's march inter-
rupted by the enemy. All OF these
things can be taught, and will be taught,
this summer in the maneuer campaigns.

Under the Central Division Of the
United States Army will be held two of
these great new maneuver campaigns.
The first of these will be in the vicinity
of Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley,
Kan, and will be held between August
Ii and 2S. The second campaign will
be near Sparta, Wis, July to August

various surrounding states will partici-

lished maneuver camps at Fort Benja min

to improve a golden opportunity for real

This came in the shape of an unexpect-

famous Victor DuruE, who at that time
was minister of education. Evidently
Duruy was all kindness and interest. He
would not allow Fabre even to take OF

questions about his researches. Then ne
