Anita King i'm "i'himmie FRddcn."
Chimme Fadden is one of the most
famous Irish American characters ever
created. He first appeared before the
public in a series of newspaper stories
by E w. Townsend. These stories be-
came the foundation of a book which
sold in vast quantities and of a play
which was popular for years, making
"Chimmie" literally national figure.
"Chimmie" is a Bowery boy of the
rough but good hearted type. He saves
a rich young woman of Summing ten
denotes from the insults of "masher''
and thus becomes a footman in the
household of Millionaire Van Cortlandt,
accepting the position because he has
become fascinated by the young lady's
French maid, whom he dubs "The
Duchess" The complications of the
story cause "Chimmie' to be accused
of burglary, but he is finally proved
innocent and his love story with the
beautiful lady's maid has a happy con-
clusion.
"Chimmie" Fadden is a document of
New York life truly worthy of being
preserved in photodramatic form. The
natural eccentricities of the character
give the play rare individuality.

strongly intrenched and their Mauser
rifles swept the open ricetields through
which the American troops had TO adj
vance.
The United States troops deployed
into line of skirmishers just beyond the
range of direct fire. Then they started
to advance by rushes according to the
plans made by some ancient Indian COM
mander. One squad would dart forward
for fifty or a hundred yards and start
firing from behind one Of the little hum
mocks which criss-crossed the field while
the line behind continued a steady
fire on the Filipino trenches. Just as
this squad was settling to pour a steady
fire at the Filipinos another would dart
forward from different part CT the
line. The fire of the Filipino lines be-
came demoralized. There was no sta
tionary target and all the time the
American fire drew closer and became
more accurate.
1t took less than three hours to take
this strongly defended place by frontal
attack and with a ridiculously small
force. General Charles King, who had
charge of this attack upon Santa Ana on
the south line near Manila, acknowl-
edged that it was won by Indian fight
ing, pure and simple.

German armies in Russia used for adj
vancing through the snow is an adapta-
ton of the American Indians scheme of
making himself look like his back
ground. The Indian never had any ar
tillery, but he paved the way for the
masked batteries.
The incendiary bomb used in Europe
was another invention of the American
Indian. Long before he knew the use
of gunpowder the American Indian used
flaming arrows to set fire to fortresses.
Andrew Jackson later adopted the
scheme when he sent a red hot cannon
ball into the renegades' fort in Florida
and blew up the powder magazine.
The tactics of the United States Army
in the Philippines and in Cuba were en-
tirely the tactics of the American lndl-
an. United States troops charged the
Spanish blockhouses in the same fashion
as the Indians rushed an immigrant
train or a border stockade. These
charges baffled the Spaniards and they
disguised the Filipinos, who always pro-
tested that the American troops fought
unfairly.

Pillar. | think-afterward complained
that it was unfair "They attacked us
in different manner from the Spanish
troops" he said. "And they were into
our trenches before we knew 1t. We
were shooting all the time, but there was
nothing to shoot at. When we started
to fire at one group of men they were no
longer there and men were running for
ward from another part Of the field.
When we turned our rifles there were
men coming at US from another direc-
ton. We had barely time to leave our
trenches before the American soldiers
jumped into them"
This advance by rushes is an essential
part of the American field tactics OF the
present. 1t was plagiarized directly
from an Indian rush upon an immigrant

the flank or in the rear. Any military
tribunal of to-day would have cashiered
Braddock. He would be regarded as a
man utterly ignorant of the first prln-
ciples of military science.
Perhaps we may not be able to prove
that the credit for the khaki-colored
clothing which makes the modern soldier
such a difficult mark for the enemy rifle
man belongs to the American Indian.
But the fact remains that the Indian
was the first to adopt fighting costume
which made him hard to distinguish
against his background. The dun OF 'he
deerhide clothing which the American
Indian wore was as hard to distinguish
as the khaki of the American or BRITISH
armies or the dull gray of the German
army. The white clothing which the

train or a frontier stockade. 1t is the
only style of frontal attack that would in
any way embarrass machine gun opera
tors.
General Villa used it in his operations
against the Huerta army, and an editor
who is in the habit of making remarka-
bly, original discoveries decided that
Villa had worked the plan out all by
himself. Villas ancestors had been ad-
vancing by rushes in frontal attacks
hundreds of years before, and as a mat
ter of fact at the time Villa was using
this plan of attack it was part of the
United States Army tactics. Villas
men captured many machine gun
in this manner.
1t was the American Indian, too, who
first discovered that the cavalrymans
horse was chiefly useful for getting him
somewhere in hurry and that once the
cavalryman was at his destination he
was more effective fighting as All infan-
tryman. Were it not for his penchant
for scalping those slain in battle and for
some other eccentricities the Indian
would be frankly acknowledged as the
greatest cavalryrnan and the originator
of most of the cavalry tactics of the
United States Army. Setting aside all
prejudice and gauging his work purely
from the point of view of efficiency with
the smallest numbers and the least facil-
tiles, Geronimo, the Apache, was perhaps
the greatest Of all cavalry commanders.
Certainly, he attacked with the greatest
dash and inflicted the maximum harass-
ment with the minimum effort, which
is the business of the cavalry comman-
der.
Should the American army be forced
to invade Mexico, it will be case of the
purely American tactics as demon
strated by United States troops as
against the purely American tactics as
demonstrated by the Mexicans, half
brothers of the originators of those tao
tics. Other things being equal, such as
the matter of guns and munitions, the
victors will be those who have become
most proficient in the tactics of the an
cient and purely American general who
first evolved the scheme Of open order
and advance by rushes.
One can almost see the inventor Of
those tactics watching the struggle from
his vantage point on peak in the
Happy Hunting Grounds. The ghostly
war bonnet is proudly erect and there is
a brilliant light in the fierce dark eyes
of the great warrior.
"My brothers use my battle plans
WELL" he says, "but the paleface war
riors have mastered my teachings even
better. They are great warriors now,
the palefaces, for they fight with the
cunning that l have taught and in the
real American fashion"
And the heart of the great chief will
no longer be bitter as he turns to his
wigwam. The tactics Of the United
States Army form a fattering tribute
to the American Indians only streak Of
genius, the genius for military affairs.

the point of view of his in

down upon a brigade of khaki-clad
United States troops drilling in open
order.
He sees the paleface commander de-
ploying his skirmish lines with wide in
tervals between the men just as he had
done and he notes with grim approval
how the infantrymen take advantage of
the topography of the country. Then,
as he sees the advance by rushes, a
squad or platoon darling forward
from opposite sides of the line to battle
the fire of the enemy. he knows that field
tactics as he designed them were good.
And that is all that the original Amer
lean has left to the country. His music
does not amount to much, his folk lore is
not worth the preserving, but his mill
tary tactics have stamped their influence
indelibly upon the American army.
What has happened over in Europe dur
ing the last two years may entirely
change the field tactics Of the United
States Army, but at the present writ
ing the principle of open order, Dor
rowed from the original American in
fantry, the Indian hosts, dominates the
American field tactics.
The first of the paleface generals to
admit the military genius of the Amer
lean Indian was George Washington.
That was during the French and lndi-
anwars. when Washington was attached
to the Braddock expedition. The ele-
mentary histories tell how Washington
tried to impress the stubborn English
commander with the folly Of fighting in
close formation in that wilderness.
Washington suggested that the English
expedition adopt the Indian tactics and
take advantage of the country. Brad
dock refused and the refusal to adopt
the Indian tactics was disastrous to the
expedition.
Military science has turned to the In
dian point of view since then. 1t is a
primary rule in the tactics of all nations
now to take advantage Of the terrain
that is, the topography of the country.
If there are trees to mask an advance,
every advantage which the cover gives
is taken for all that it is worth. 1t is no
