the tremendous labor they cost is com
plete.
The task of commenting succinctly
and graphically upon this momentous
work has been taken out of our hands
by the Journal of the United States
Artillery for March and April. There
such a review of'the plans is published
as compels our admiration and merits
a reproduction of it with due credit
TO our esteemed contemporary.
The Artillery Journal says:

FIFTY YEARS SINCE
 BURNING OF ATLANTA

ATLANTA. Ga. Nov. 15.- Fifty wears ago tomorrow, General sherman marched from Atlanta on his famous March to the sea." Before he eYac- uated the city. cutting loose bis army from any base, be burned a section of Atlanta on Nov l4.
 The Atlanta Constitution takes oe- casion to editorially compare the burn. ing Of Atlanta and the destruction or Louyain. The Constitution says in part e,
 "Apologists for Louyaine cite Sner- mans destruction Of Atlanta as pre- cedent and justification. But Atlanta and Louvaine are not instances or me same rule of war. sherman expelled the inhabitants before he destroyed the city. He footed neither Atlanta nor Columbia afterwards. He took no hostages. shot no citizens lie burned Atlanta out of revenge in or der to terrorize population.
 Sherman could not hold A'laoia' He was about to abandon it as both outpost and base. But it was 8 strat' eglcal railway center and had been a military manufactory and Q depol for the South. TO make 1t yalueless to the enemy he burned the city and lhis act was justified by Che laws ol war and approved his own military eT lpediency
 sherman said that war is hell. He meant that war IS hell inherently, by its own nature. He did not mean t' make war worse hell. It's inner ent henishness was enough for him I Ha waged war in the American fash i Ion the humane fashion. He was I kindly American himself as Gran was. as Lee was. He had no lanshil 1 to a European conQueror and no hat red for the Southern people
 "The Southern people naturally enough complain of Atlanta and Go mmbia They cherish to this day @ anlmoslty against sherman, as the' do not against Grant although th latter ordered Che wasting of the val ley of Virginia. sherman did, in hi own phrase. bring war home to th South. He burned Atlanta, and Col umbia was destroyed in the proees of his Carolinian invasion. No dono also. some outroges were eommitte by men of his who got out Of hans But considering what war is, what ln veteran soldier, becomes, the Sout had really no bill of complaint"
