MILITARY ARcHERs.


Bows and Arrows Were Used In Battle
Up to q Century Ago.
We think of the bow and arrow as
medieval weapons of war abandoned
by the nations of Europe four or I'VE
centuries ago. The bowmen OF Crecy
are the last of any prominence in Ang-
fish history. Yet it Is only about 100
years since soldiers fought with bows
and arrows in European wars. and
that, too, ON the fields of southern Bel
GUM.
1t was in 1918, when all Europe was
armed against Napoleon. Every one or
the allied nations brought every posi-
bic resource of men and means to FUR
ther this end. Among them WAS Rus
sla. TO the war she sci" soldiers from
the newly conquered tribes that dwet
upon the steppes Of Asia B0kharans
and Turkomans and Tartars aud other
half savage peoples Many of these
regiments were armed with bows and
arrows.
Jomini. the military historian. speaks
OF a great number OF these that fought
side by side with the Prussians In
eastern Germany and in Belgium. and
he says that these bowmen held their
own against the French infantry.
Their aim. he says. was surprisingly
good. and they could shoot an arrow
with effect almost as far as musket
ball was effective, but In those days
