Departure Of Soldiers

Adjutant General George Mel.
Presson returned Tuesday afternoon
from Portland, where he went on
Monday to oversee the departure of
the soldier boys going to Camp
Devens. He reports a splendid set
of young men, well behaved and full
of enthusiasm over doing their bit
in the army. A large number OF the
boys passed the night in Portland and
it was everywhere remarked on their
gentlemanly behavior.
The grand event of the day Tues
day was the parade. in which about
1000 persons took part, including
Governor Milliken, who made a quick
trip across country from Rockland TO
be present and who refused to ride
in an auto or carriage in the parade
but marched with the boys.
An incident worth recording was
the fact that Cumberland District
Board No. 2, with headquarters At
Westbrook, had called 209 men in Or

in line. One of those men was i'll

in such a way as to inclose the limbs
In metal greaves; the hands were pro-
tected by an articulated gauntlet and
the foot by an iron shoe or sOlleret.
The body was still covered by short
ened coat about the length of waist

whole outfit was known as char
ness" to which was soon added steel
corselet, prolonged over the abdomen
by sort of skirt of interviewer metal
lie rings-the "tasselles."'
InvulnsrabIe But Helpless.
Finally, in the reign of Charles VII,
the complete cuirass appears, aug
mented by shoulder pieces and the
gOrget, which united the armor to the
round helmet. The knight was now
practically invulnerable, but so
weighted down and so awkward of
movement that once dismounted he
was at the complete mercy of his, foe.
To lessen his chances. of being dis
mounted, therefore, his horse was
equipped with armOr, the tout EN-
semble being sort of medieval tank.
The man on foot, however, needed
greater freedom of movement. and so
wore considerably lighter equipment,
namely, helmet, shoulder pieces,
shield, arm and thigh pieces, knee
pieces and a short coat of mail-Or
haubergeon-to which was added, in
oh tnI1ir
ass. This equipment may appear
again on the modern soldier practical
f, ly as worn by the foot soldier in the
reign of Charles VII.
The elaborate armor of the knight
which, in its completion. had meant
the patient acquisition of centuries
was made useless in the space of some
ten years by the Introduction of gun
powder. AS early as the beginning of
the fourteenth century, projectiles mad
become capable of piercing the armor
in use at the time, and little by little
the use of such defense disappeared,
the tendency being to substitute fab
ric for metal protection. This gave
birth to the epaulet, horse-tail plume.
the shake and the bearskin cap. With
modern wars, a new device sprang up
namely, individual protection by
means of the inyisibility Of units and
scattered formations. From this orig.
mated the idea Of the service uni,
form.
Such methods of individual defense
were quite satisfactory for combat at
great distances; but in stationary
fighting or in trench warfare 1t is
quite another matter. and once again
| the question of individual armor has
arisen. and already we see its use
in the shape of the steel helmet, the
heavy breastplate worn by the Ger
man soldier, the lighter breastplate
worn by the English, the armored
waistcoats of the Italians and the
trench shields used by all armies. The
idea of the new armor is not, like that
of the Middle Ages. to give complete
protection. 1t is rather to defect than
to stop missiles, and it does this with
sheet of metal that would be easily
pierced by bullet striking it at right
| angles.

in this corner of an ultramodern city
has labored to preserve the relics OF
those storied centuries when knights
were bold and ladies passing fair.
Now, thanks to him who has kept
alive an art long considered dead, this
country is able to benefit by the ad-
vice Of an expert in metals, and no
longer does NJ. Tachaux labor over an
cient pieces, but bends all his efforts,
all his cunning and all his knowledge,
to the making of armor that can be
worn by the modern soldier - armor
heavy enough to be invulnerable,s light
enough to carry.
Revive Work of Old Masters.
This question of weight and there
fore practicability of armor for the
man on foot-the man who makes a
charge-reverts to the time of Louis
Nv of France, when the use of defen-
sive protection had practically disap-
peared and an attempt was made to
revive the steel helmet. Indeed, the
development of armor from the time
of side arms until the use of firearms
is one of exceeding interest at this
time, in that the government is re-
viewing the work of some of the
greatest of the old masters in armor
making, with a view to reinstating the
best and most feasible of the old meth
DDS of defensive protection.
The use of armor dates back to the
ninth century b. G. and became more
elaborate and complex until the intro
duction of gunpowder. The helmet was
the first body protection to appear and
was followed by the cuirass-the lat
ter being used by the Greeks and Ro-
mans and reappearing at the time OF
Charlemagne in the form of waist
coat made of overlapping metal scales
and of rather imperfect execution.
What Norman Warrior Wore.
In the eleventh century, according
to the Bayeaux tapestries as well as
the seal of Richard Occur de Lion, we
find the coat of mail assuming first
the shape of redingote and later that
of bathing suit, completed by he'll
met conical at the nose. This, together
with the use of leather plates on the
feet and hands, constituted the equip
ment of Norman warrior.
A study of the sculptures of the
Reims cathedral and the evangelia'
rum of st. Louis (National library
points to the development, in the
twelfth century, of a perfected coat OF
mail. a metal combination united with
the helmet by passe-montagne OF
steel links; the whole, constituting q
hauberk, protected the warrior with
the haube-a cylindrical helmet made
Of pieces of forged metal adjusted by
rivets and pierced by two peepholes
At the beginning of the fourteenth
century the desire to protect the joints
caused the placing of metal plates al
shoulder and knee. The haube diSap
peared and was replaced by 4 helmet
of type called Bassinet. with NOV
able visor pierced by holes to permit
sight and ventilation. By the middle
OF the fourteenth century chain armol
had disappeared to considerable de
gree, and plate armor was taking its
place, the plates at the joints being
