BULL RUNLESSON
IN |AUNPREPAREDNESS
Harvard Professor Holds Mis-
takes Of Civil War Are
DiscreditabIe.

In q striking manner the present need
of a larger and more efficient regular
army Is explained by r. NJ. Johnston,
assistant professor Of history at Har-
ward University. In the leading article
Of The Infantry Journal for September.
Prof. Johnston draws his lesson from
the first Bull Run disaster TO tho Union
arms. He says:
The United States never has suffered
one Of those great military reverses, like
Jena or Sedan. that shake the founda-
tons Of national existence. that modify
national thought, and that generations
later still bring blush to the face and
q quaim to the heart Of the lover of his
country. Bull Run has been, as yet.
our nearest approach to anything Of the
kind. II was more discreditabIe TO US
than Jena was to Prussia. than Sedan
was to France, and IL revealed dangers
commensurate with those which the
two disasters revealed; but II was .
political program. and Il did not bring
ruin TO the state. Steadily minimized
by all who were responsible for IL. and
not understood by the general public,
IL was quickly set aside as one Of the
disagreeable family occurrences about
which the least said Is the soonest
mended.
But to turn over once more the re-
ports Of those who fought there, to jog
along the warrenton turnpike. where
the fugitives scurried in mad retreat
under the spur Of Kemper's shells. TO
reconnoitre the fords Of that ditch-like
stream that cost Mcdowell so many ef-
forts to cross, all this makes ones mind
viyidly alive to the hideous mistakes.
