News From The
State Capitol
(By Maxwell German
(By Maxwell German. }

Raleigh, July 2O.-More "was
talk and more interest in the
subject than at any time since
North Carolina folks took up the
subject actively, following the
President s decisive action, is cur
rent here this week. This is large
ly due to the appointment Of the
officers Of the new North Carolina
field artillery regiments now being
formed, the various companies be
ing recruited in a number Of towns
and counties of the state.
The appointment Of Captain
Albert l.. Cox, who commanded
the Raleigh company in the Third
North Carolina regiment on the
Mexican border last year, to be
Colonel Of the field artillery regi-
ment, is the most popular one yet
made, is a fitting recognition Of a
splendid piece Of military mate
rial, and Col. Cox s Individual po-
pularity and reputation will large
ly contribute to the acquisition OF
fine body Of volunteers in suffi-
cient numbers to make up the re
giment s full quota within the
short time allowed.
Appointed judge seven months
ago (after all prospects of fight
with Mexico disappeared), he ad-
ded fresh laurels to his ability and
learning in the law-and he liked
the "bench.' But when this
country began to take active
steps to participate in the war
against ''the common foe' Of lib
erty and advanced civilization, the
war-horse blood Of his distin-
guished father, General William
Ruffn Cox, one Of the most gal
liant Of Lees officers, made him
willing and gladly accept the
transfer to military life again
and he will be heard from with
credit to himself and state and
country on the battlefield of Eu-
rope-if given the chance to
achieve honors by courageous
military ability and effort.
Another fine appointment is that

S. TO CONSIDER

London, July 20.-The officer
should be the teacher and the lead
er Of his men. Therefore the rule
should be rigidly enforced that
for an officer the indispensable
qualification is strong character
and a liberal education. He must
be a person whom the men will
respect, for the private soldier
guages instinctively the spiritual
quality of those who are set over
him.
The military education Of the
officer must aim at making him a
tactician. All the rest is Of slight
Importance. The routine of the
army, it's methods Of administra-
ton, the necessary rudiments Of
military law are picked up by the
officer insensibly in he course Of
his military life. But unless he
starts with clear and sound ideas
of the essential points of tactis,
Of the art Of fighting, of m,.hing
the best of his men s weap,-- ;
the ground, he will be hampered
throughout his career.
The U. S. government in form
ing a series Of great schools for
the tactical instruction of young
men. seeking to become officers is
thereby laying the best foundation
for it's future army. Neglect Of
this matter at the beginning can
not possibly be remedied by any
subsequent measures.
Napoleon said, "The ideal army
would be that in which every Of
fcer, according to his rank, should
know exactly what he ought to
do in any situation in which he
might find himself.
In the training Of the men it
is impossible to exaggerate the
Importance Of good shooting
Prince Hohenlohe, a great Prus-
sian artillery commander Of the
last generation, was asked what
are the three great functions OF
artillery and replied:
"The first is to hit, the second is
! to hit, and the third is to hit. -
In spite Of the immense devel
opment Of the power Of the gul
which has marked the goth cen
fury, in spite Of the return to hanc
grenades, bombs and trench NOR
tars, the most deadly weapon i
always the bullet-the weapon o.
! the infantry soldier.
For one man who falls to thu
| bayonet, for ten men who fall t.
the shell, hundreds fall to the bul
let. But the bullet does not hi
because the man pulls the trlg
ger. It hits because he know:
how to take aim. This is the hard
material fact, but there is a more
potent spiritual fact. During thu

It is not an easy thing for {

tight Brazilian censorship clapped
on, reports from Uruguay today de-
Clared German revolt in BTazil's
provinces near UrugUayan boundary
was growing. Refugees pouring into
Uruguay report fighting between
German rebels and government
forces in Brazil. MOntevideo reports
indicated serious. condition of affairs
in probably three Brazilian states.
Rio De Janeiro.-Report that Bra
lillian steamer Belem, ,082 tons, had
been tOrpedOed by German subma-
rine in Mediterranean aroused fur
ther excitement here today. No Off
cial confirmation Obtainable.
Announcement that German Min
lister PaOls, who has already been
handed his passports, had previously
arranged to depart home on board
steamer Rio De Janeiro, had now
changed his mind and would journey
to Chile, interpreted here as Germa-
ny's decision to continue her South
American propaganda work. Chilean
government had been expected to
support Brazil against Germany, but
note received recently on contrary
indicated lack of sympathy with
Brazil.
The Brazilian federation of labor
today notified the government that
its workers will not fight in event of
war, adding that government had
better employ the many idle work
men than to engage in hostilities."
Dispatches received from Rio De
JaneirO quoted minister of war as de-
nying that military mission from
Brazil would shortly leave for United
States to cooperate with allies
against Germany.
