until congress shall have authorized
such action.
Our most recent experience in rails
ing volunteers was I'm 1899, when TWEEN
ty-four United States volunteer regi-
ments of infantry were raised for serv-
ice In the Philippine Islands. The re
ports OF the colonies of those regiments
show that before proceeding to the
Philippine Islands the regiments aver-
aged training periods of about sew
en- weeks. Although these regiments
strongly impressed officers who had
the opportunity TO observe their fine
organization and splendid material, it
would be unsafe to take that period
as a standard for future training of
volunteers, for 1t must he borne in
mind that, those regiments not being
called upon to face trained troops I'M
der trained officers, their training and
discipline were never put to a test
sufficiently severe TO base thereon
definite conclusions. Furthermore, al
though there could be little oppor-
tunity for real training on transports
while en- route, there was necessarily
much time ON the voyage that could
be and was utilized in certain classes
OF instruction that had been post
poned p%urposely, and there was much
opportunity for the development of the
forces of discipline and cohesion. The
period of instruction and training, from
the beginning to the time the regi
ments were put into the firing line
was approximately three months.
Another consideration bearing upor
the length OF time that these regiment:
were actually in training is the splen
did material that was available. Ev

Peril of No Training.
1T goes without saying that tie
more the men know about the art OF
war the better. Time will not, how
ever, be available to teach them every
thing, even If they were capable of
absorbing 1t. Careful distinction must
be made between those things which
1t Is essential that every soldier should
know and those things which it is de-
sirable that he should know. Every
effort should be made and all available
time devoted at first to teaching the
essentials, while later. If time be avail
able, the instruction and training may
be extended in other directions.
"Imperfectly trained troops must pay
with their lives for their own mistakes
and for those of imperfect leadership
The more efficient the leadership the
better will be the training, and the
better the training the fewer will be
the mistakes and the less will be the
ultimate cost Of any results sought to
be obtained by the war.
ANY system of training. however
good in itself, will fail to bring the de
sired results unless there are available
a sufficient number of trained instruc-
tors, officers and noncommissioned Of
fcers. The blind cannot lead the
blind"

MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Feb. 17.-Receipts of
cattle were fairly liberal for a Fri
day, estimates calling for 1,400
head, against 100 a week ago and
500 head the corresponding day a
year ago.
With a fairly good sized supply of
fat cattle on hand for the Friday
session, the deal ruled weak and 10
a Csc lower in the fat steer division
compared with the previous day.
There was a weak undertone to the
market for cows and heifers, but few
significant changes were noted.
Stockers and feeders were not in
very strong demand today and mar
ket was dull at the bottom of the
weeks decline.
Hog trade was a weak affair as a
whole, although a few loads sold to
shippers early at close to steady
rates. Packers did not enter the
deal until late in the forenoon.
Sheep market was dull. Some
choice lambs brought $14.15, with
choice ewes at $10.85 early. but
there was q slow tone to the market.

'sThe training of volunteer troops
