these new contrivances Of warfare are
not to brighten US out Of our wits by
mere reason Of their unfamilitarity, it is
necessary that our troops shall be spe-
cially trained in the business Of using
such devices. Our soldiers have Gus
tOmarily been taught to fight with pow
der and guns; they must learn how to
hight with light. They have been in
structed in fighting by day; they must
know how to fight by night.
It is necessary that this shall be a
part Of the education Of every recruit in
our army. In particular, il is requisite
that our troops Of all arms-infantry
cavalry and artillery-shall be provided
without delay with field searchlights, in
order that an outbreak Of war may not
find them unprepared in one of the chief
essentials for fighting under modern conf
ditions.
Invisibility is the keynote of modern
warfare. To win. the fighting man must
not be seen by his adversary. Hence the
development of night-fghting. Never in
the history Of war has the surprise at
tack cut so large a figure as in the pres
ent conflict. Darkness, for such purposes,
is the best help. Advantage is taken Of
the cover Of night for the advance Of
large bodies of troops, for flank move
ments, for the emplacing Of artillery, for
the construction of cover, for the bring
ing up Of munitions. The Zeppelins are
night-birds.
Against the man who fights in the dark
the most effective weapon is light. The

number Of them conveniently in his
knapsack. OF course, to use them, he
must carry a rOcket-pistOl also, but this
sort Of hrearm weighs not more than
three and a half pounds.
For emergency work in night battle,
and for fighting in darkness at close
quarters, the combatants in the European
war are using flares" which easily
slowed in the knapsack) can be thrust
at an instants notice into sockets con-
nected with polished metal reiectors Of
small size. With such help, when ignited,
even a single one Of them will afford a
surprising illumination-the soldier who
holds the reflector being himself, Of
course, invisible.
Balloons also are used for dropping
paper parachutes Of large size, each one
carrying a Sire cartridge Of brilliancy
enough to illuminate a whole landscape
for a minute or mOre-perhaps disclOs-
ing the previously unsupported position
of a hostile battery Of artillery. The
light thus afforded does not reveal TO
view the balloon. which remains invis-
ible, and therefore safe against attack by
gun-fire.
Or there may be, suspended from the
balloon, a great mirrOr-refectOr, be-
meath which the cartridges are set of
by touching an electric button. This is
the so-caIled aerial searchlight," which,
without revealing the position Of the bal
loon, hidden in the darkness OF the sky,
spreads an illumination far and wide.

One Of the attempts by the French 70
solve the problem is represented BY a
searchlight mounted on rubber-tired
wheels, and which, wheels and all. is
carried on the rear platform" Of an au-
tomobile chassis. Thus the affair may
be dismOunted anywhere II desired.
The Germans before the beginning OF
the war had so far developed the search
light idea for war purposes that a sep
arate searchlight corps was created. A
TeutOn invention was the telescoping
searchlight tower, which, collapsed when
not In use, may be elevated when re-
quired to such height that the reflector
is thirty feet above the ground-high
enough to overlook any ordinary land
scape-
Our War Department Is now irving
to improve upon this tower searchlight
by substituting for the supporting struc-
ture light tripod The idea viii be tried
out IN as practical a way as may be pos
slole on the Texas border. We may have
to use It in Mexico.
It may be said in conclusion that, while
there are very many purposes for which
searchlights may be usefully employed
in warfare under modern conditions. one
OF the most important Of them, for the
defensive, consists in Illuminating points
Especially defles) over which attackers
must advance. in order that the latter
may be brought under fire at the earliest
possible moment, and to observe the ef-
feet Of the fire.
On the other hand. searchlights nav
be used to prevent defenders from i'm
proving their intrenchments or other
works under cover Of darkness: to light
up defensive works or other artillery
targets, and to assist an attacking col
umn by Illuminating rough ground or ar
tiicial obstacles.
Among other uses Of the military
searchlight should be mentioned that o.

The same remark might apply to aero
plane observers. but flying machines do
not often ascend in the night time.
Searchllghts are kept dark during the
held artillery duel that usually precedes
an infantry engagement. They are used
under such circumstances only after the
artillery fire has ceased. and when the
enemy is advancing:

be employed for fighting at night. Con-
spicuous among them is the military

The pistol is fired in such a way as
TO discharge the rocket at an angle OF
