TIE WAR GAM Es.

Red parasols and picnic luncheon
parties have lined the highways where
10000 United States regulars and mill
tiamen have been contending for the
Theoretical" mastery of New York
city
There and in many other states
where maneuvers take place in Aug
ust, the ground is alphabetically
stained with constructive" gore
For the public it is a jolly country
frolic But it is tensely real to mill
tary men, Professional regulations
may go bad through an umpire's nod.
The regalia chests in the armories rat
tie with the post mortem discussion.
The National Guardsman who has
made his Is mile hike over rocky and
dusty roads on a boiling day knows
more about real fighting than he can
learn from drilling in a shady armory,
with plenty Of ginger pop in the re-
frigerator
But many dissenters rise to say that
he does not learn to care for himself
in the field as we'll as he did in the
old time militia camps. which are now
generally considered futile and POM
pous festivals of gold lace and snowy
reviews.
/ Formerly the National Guard was
largely a machine to hold down local
disturbances. Now it is looked at as
reserve to back the regulars. To
give the officers practice in handling
great bodies of men, the hungry stom-
aehs, sore feet, and raw muscles of in
door workers have to be hustled around
the country, If they fare as well as
cattle en- route to market, It is per-
haps all one may expect.
A bread winner in the treadmill arts
of peace for S5s days per year can not
be made into an efficient warrior in
the other seven.
The inherent difncdlty of giving a
military education in week led for
mer Secretary Root and other critics
to suggest that the reserves behind
the regular army consist of ex-regu-
lars who should be paid for going into
camp few weeks each year, relieving
the National Guard from what seems
an impossible task

since all their glory flew; oh, what's
become of Captain Loose, and where's
I-Took-a- Shoe? Today with pride
mans bosom thrills, next week his
name is Sox; oh, where is Beecham
now, whose pills were worth five
bones a box? Today the widely-touted
chap all self-complacent grins; tomor-
row he is off the map-and where is
Johnnie Binns? Man takes. an ak and
kills a friend. and goes upon the
stage; he thinks his fame will never
end--he1l always be the rage; then
some one takes gun and kills some
six or eight or ten; the first mans
name goes oq the bills, and ne'er comes
back again. So let us humbly toll and

vain and trifling thing that seldom
will endure. WALT MASON.
