MILITARY STRATEGY.
Why More Is Gained by Woundins
Than by Killing an Enemy.

Than by Killing an Enemy.
In etter to the Army and Navy
Journal a retired army officer says that
no intel gent soldier will fire dunn
dun or m explosive bullet at the en-
envy. for they both kill.
The object of the riheman is not to
kill an cnemy, but TO wound him. "a
dead man is simply one soldier lost
from his army. He is not burden to
any one A wounded soldier must be
taken care Of. Four wounded soldiers
must have an ambulance with two
horses aud IN ablebodied soldier driver
"Thirty wounded soldiers must have
a surgeon II hospital steward and ten
or Il dozen able bodied soldiers to aid
the doctor and wait upon and nurse the
wounded men. The ambulances block
the rouds and delay the troops. espe-
clally the artillery and the supply
wagons
when n man is hurt every one is
anxious to get him at once TO doctor.
II the troops on the firing line are not
well Disciplined and Il soldier is wound
ed there wall be three or four soldiers
who are willing aud anxious to carry
him to the rear
For every soldier wounded the firing
line loses four soldiers and hundred
men wounded means that 400 men are
lost to the firing line, for they never re-
join their regiments until the battle is
over"

Killed a Bobcat.

A large bobcat was shot and
killed by Henry Boyington on his
farm south of town about s o'clock
Tuesday morning. Mr.. Boying-
ton saw the animal first near his
yard looking wistfully at rooster.
1t ran off when discovered, Mr..
Boyington firing at it with a rifle
at 300 yards and missing. He
then got his shotgun, mounted his
horse and aided by his dog brought
the animal to bay after halt-mile
chase into an adjoining field where
it was dispatched with charge of
BIB shot fired at distance of IS
yards. The dog had brought the
cat to halt and the two animals
stood facing each other in wary
attitudes when the shotgun spoke.
Bobcats are rare in this locality
and it is presumed this one was
crossing the valley between
mountain ranges. 1t was as large
as an ordinary sized dog and very
heavy limbed.

carried, were missing. The shot IN
the lex showed powder burns but the
bullet wound which was little To
the right of the center OF the back OF
the head showed no powder marks or
singed hair, indicating that the shnG
must have been tired from u dlstance
OF at least several feet. The bullet
ranged forward and lodged. The
| forehead was bruised and slightly
dented ln and the base OF the skull
fractured. Two hats were found near
by, which would seem To indicate pre-
cipitate flight of the sssailant after

ment.

AlRsHIPs IN WAR.
in Some Ways They Are More Effective
Than Aeroplanss.

in Some Ways They Are More Effective
Than Aeroplanss.
While the airship is clumsier and
slower moving than the aeroplane, It
has Its own special uses In war. In
"Air Craft In the Great War;" by
Claude Grahame- White and Harry
Hooper, is this:
There are three points in favor of
the airship, and none should be over
looked. She can remain In the air
many hours IL required; even. In an
emergency, for several days. And In
this respect she has the advantage of
the aeroplane. She can hover, too,
above a given spot, her machines
stopped and her car motionless. This
Is of value In detailed observations,
and here again she has the advantage
of the aeroplane. which can not hover.
"a third merit of the airship, and
again a useful one. is that she can fiy
safely at night This provides her
with many uses In time of war. Aero
planes can iy at night. too. but only
at grave risk. II a motor fails. and
the air man has to descend, darkness
prevents him from choosing a landing
ground. and he may crash into a wall
or hedge. or the side OF house, or find
himself In the tree tops OF wood.
"Hovering at the rear Of her own
lines, and fitted with powerful wire
less plant, the airship can remain a1oft
from dawn until dusk, her observers
watching constantly the enemy's battle
front, and signaling, while the news
has value. any change they may notice
in the position Of the troops. For de-
structlve raids. particularly at night.
the airship has grim potentiality.
'sThe point to be borne in mind. the
fact that governs the uso of an airship
In war, is that In q clear sky during
daylight and away from the protection
Of her own guns or planes. she Is large.
slow flying and highly vulnerable. Her
hull cannot be armored. fragile though
It Is; the weight would be prohibitive
So she may be crippled and sent to
earth by the accurate placing of SIN
gle bomb or shell"
