Bath. Ne. May So.-The unprecedented
ly high prices for Holsters the last six
months has resulted in privation for the
gourmands.
Capt. l. ]. Oliver and F. S. Oliver, of
Bath, were the first to take advantage
of the situation. Capt. Oliver is an old
Kennebec pilot and F. s. oliver a steam
boat engineer. They decided that the
place to get marketable Holsters would
Be out in deep water, so they bought a
steam yacht, the Eleanor. Their plan
was to go off the coast of Maine and
fish in the deep-sea ledges stopping there
week or so at a time. Kettle Bot

places chosen, and many of the best
Broadway Holsters now come from those
two places.

object of Foreign TraininE.
I'm such an army the main object is to
train every man for the efficient perform
ance of his dudes In the grade which he
holds when war comes. A lieutenant does
not dream of becoming a captain merely
as the result OF war. except as va
cancy Is made for him in the casualties
of battle. Only In the same way does
a captain expect to become colonel: nor
would the idea be tolerated that great
numbers of trained line officers are to be
suddenly transferred to various stai po-
sitlons.
Their organizations are founded upon
the theory that there Is nothing myster-
icus in the art of war; that technical and
scientific training Is needed by only a
small portion Of military officers: that
certain things which a Napoleon must
know. every officer must know, and can
as readily acquire as he: while those
things which dinerentiate a Napoleon
from other generals cannot be acquired
in any school. not even in that of war.
Such a system would be thoroughly
unsound II transplanted to the American
army. the organization Of which Is quite
different from continental armies In
fact, the most striking feature in our
service is the absence of what consti-
tutes the very essence of the foreign es-
tablishments; that Is. a great standing
army serving in corps, divisions and bri-
gades. in which the average officer of any
grade learns the details Of his profess
sion by practical work and with the min
imum of theory.
"Our system of military education must
therefore differ from that Of the other
great nations of the world. 1t must be
such as to educate our officers so that
they will be able to perform the duties
Of far-advanced grades and to render
