FATAL 0LD-FASHI0NED TACTICS

When General Leonard Wood of
the United States army was IN Ber-
lin a few years ago as the guest Of
the kaiser to observe the maneuvers
of the German army he was strong
ly impressed with the splendid spec
tacle of great masses Of troops mov-
ing with clock-like regularity, but
he was surprised that the kaiser still
held to the old fashion of attacking
in force with massed lines Of in
fantry.
1t is magnificent as a spectacle,
but terribly fatal in war, for troops
so massed can be slaughtered ike a
crowded herd of cattle, and long
aeo our own army discovered the
fact, as have the British, and the
widest open order consistent with
effective organization is now en-
ploycd obviously it is much more
difficult for bullets to fnd human
billcts in this way and the roll OF
dead and wounded is corresponding
ly decreased.
The dispatches tell us that the
terrible slaughter of the Germans at
Licge was due largely to the fact
that they fought and charged in
densely massed columns instead of
open order, thus making it easy to
shoot them down. If they persist
in such tactics in this day OF i'm
proved long range artillery their
casualty list when they meet the
French in the great battles ahead
will be more than double what they
would be under the American
method.

Amid all this confusion the pio-

RUNNING THE RHEA.
Relative CT Ostrich Chased With DO:
and fiorsc.


For the person who desires Q
unique form of sport running the
rhea" in southern Patagonia is rec
commended. Tire rhea IS a member
OF the ostrich family, bat somcuha
smaller. 1t rans With tie sw.ftnes
of a greyhound or Il fast horse an,
has a knack OF doab.ing oa IL
track, which often serves It in eiud
ing its pursuers. The natives il
hunting it use horses, dogs and th,
bola. The dogs course after the
fleeing bird in full CRY, while tn;
hunters follow after, at top speed
prepared to throw the bola if op-
portunity offers.
The bola, consisting of txo OF
three heavy balls of lead or stone
attached to thong Six or eight
feet long, serves to hamper the
movements of the bird, for the
balls twine about the part which
the bola strikes regardless OF
whether it be the legs, neck OF
wings. This permits the dogs and
hunters to overhaul and dispatch
the bird.
At the approach Of dangor the
rhea will often crouch fiat upon the
ground with neck outstretched un.
der the grass. remaining motionles:
until the dogs have passed. This
strategem is often successful wher
the wind is blowing against the
scent, but when the contrary is the
case the dogs soon discover the hid
ing bird. In this case. doubtless
bewildered by the sudden failure oi
its artless ruse, il makes no attempt
at escape.
The chase Of the rhea, which
sometimes extends over distance
Of five or six miles, is a thrilling
one. 1t has for the rider all the ex
citement of horse race, with the
added satisfaction of knowing thai
the winning. of the race will result
In a welcome addition to the Slarder
