After the Fighting Has Begun the Off.

GERS give Few Orders.
An officer IN our regular army who
saw fighting IN the Spanish war point.
ed out the other day that most persons
had a very wrong conception of how
soldiers fight in modern battles.
after regiment has wheeled into
position to attack the foe and the ac-
tual fighting has begun" he said, ''the
officers really have little to do with the
proceedings. There is so much noise,
for one thing, that commands cannot
be heard, and for this reason whistles,
in many armies, have been substituted
for bngles, because their shrill blast
carries better than the heavier notes
of the brass. Beyond giving the signal
for the charge the officers can do little.
The men. once they see the line of the
enemy in front of them, know what is
expected of them and carry out their
work with surprisingly few orders.
"Skirmish drills in times of peace
have taught the troops how to act to-
gether, and il is amazing to see how
quickly the men adapt themselves to
the conditions of actual battle. It is
the corporals and sergeants who are In
the line With the men who are the real
steadying influence in a fight. They
know the characteristics of the indi-
V1dual private in a way that the com
missioned officers can never know them
and are prepared to give a calming
word to this or that one when the
emergency arises.
In my own experience I have
known a private who had served three
enlistments to take charge of a COM
pany in charge, and the officers and
noncoms were very glad to leave it to
him. After the scrap was over he be-
came a private once more, but while
that rowfwas on, So. far as actual in
fuence with the men was concerned,
he was of great deal more Importance
than his captain. The way that man
could wriggle into cover was a revela-
ton, and he went through three cam
paigns without a scratch. His example
in the regiment was big'asset.
Bravery in battle, according to my
experience, is very much a matter of
temperament. Some men are carried
along by sort Of ecstasy. others hold
themselves to the work by sheer force

best-go through fight with sort of
grim interest as If 1t was a highly

MOUNTAIN CLIMBING.
1t IL Great Tonic After a Life of
Physical Inactivity.

In several respects mountain climb
ing is a peculiarly wholesome form of
athletic sport for the large number of
persons whose vocations are sedentary.
The indoor life which these persons
commonly lead and the protection
from even the slightest rigors of eli
mate which their mode of housing and
places of work afford them are more
than likely to render them oversensi-
tive to the extremes of weather. It is
for precisely such unexposed persons
that an occasional trip to the high
lands and an Alpine excursion has most
refreshing recuperation and stimulus
in store, according to physicians.
The heart is called on to exert itself
to a degree which, in an otherwise
healthy subject, will be followed. only
by the inauguration Characteristic of
most exercise. The advantage is not
confined to a single organ, for the re-
spiratory mechanism, the entire mus
culature of the body as well as the
cardiac and circulatory apparatus, and
the general metabolic processes ap-
parently benefit in ways not readily
definable in scientific terms. In addi-
ton to an indefinable feeling of well
! being considerable skill is acquired in
certain of the performances of noun
| tain climbing or other feats of alpine
| sport. The combination has shown its
