EDWARD B. Cl.AP.K.
Continental army officers rccxtitly
have been busy criticiting the British
battle system which ordains that on
the firing line when the men have
sought what shelt-a- the conformation
of the ground affords the officers shall
remain erect and exposed. The Eu
ropean miU'.ary critics speak of this
American officer lt guided on the field
by the same feeling and the game rule
of conduct that prompts the English
man to make of himself a conspicu
ous target for the Boer bullet. To one
unacquainted with the fH-ld tactics of
European armies the wonder is how
an officer lying prone behind a r-k
on the mizzle -swept firing line is able
"constantly to direct and encourage
his men," as reads the "tactical Injunc.
tlon" to the officers of armies of all
English speaking people. The major
ity of the officers of the United States
army of middle age and younger. Wen
Pointers and civilian appointees alike,
received their early soldierly i-usten-ance
from Emory Upton 'k ;iue Book.
There was no paragraph in the whole
volume, from "the position of a sol
dier" to the "ev V.ution of a brigade,"
that wa-i so thoroughly cramm-d into
tre brains of the cadets in the section
rooms at West Point as was that
which in teiSf language said that for
the encouragement and heartening of
his men it was the duty of an officer
to expose himself at all times of dan
ger. The same rule is laid down In the
United States army drill regulations
which have recently succeeded the old
tactics of Uptown.
The position of the captain on the
firing line is ten paces to the rear of
tho center of hi3 men, who seek what
shelter they can while the captain
stands erect. An officer of the Unlt-d
States army was once court-martialed
for cowardice because It was said he
Bought the shelter of a tree while his
command was skirmishing with the
enemy. If the American captains and
lieutenants had sought shelter during
the preliminary skirmishes before
came a shower of bullets. The enemy
was Invisible. With carbine un.lung
the little band of troopers made its
way back to the op-n. The first ser
geant, shot through both thighs, drop
ping ftorn his mount Just as the en
trance to the defile was ra-hed. Clarke
Ud his men at a dead run for a diK
tance of 150 yards. Th-n they Wer
dismounted and thrown into a skir
mish line. The trained hots' lay
down upon the desert sand and the
men used them as shelter, Clarke,
however, standing er-ot In the center
of the line. The inn-ant that the lieu
tenant had dismounted ard givn the
order for deploying, the men with

like a deer straight for the gateway
f the gorge. Uj troopers as one man
started to foil .w hlrn, but he waved
them back to their t-h-lter and kei.t
on. Clarke's oathAav town.nl the ,ie.
file was marked out all the way with
spiteful ilttle sand puffs as the bullets
fron the rlf! -s of the hidden savages
pattered about him. He reached the
objective point JMnJured. Once there
he lifted his wounded black sergeant
to his shoulder and staggered baek
across the 150 yards ,,f optn t n
command. The nay back was made
through a perfect fusillade. The es
carc from Injury was a marvel. For
this deed Powhatan H. Clarke after
ward wore the coveted medal of honor,
and he woi it pinned on his blouse
when six years afterward he met his
death in the Northwest In the sight of
the same troopers whom he had led In
Arizona.
Cenc-ral Nelson A. Miles would not
i along the abartls inspiring his men by
his voice. He simply wan following out
the Instructions which every American
army officer receive. Miles fell final
ly, so badly wounded that for a long
time It was thought he could not re
cover. In the late 70s' during the campaign
against th Nei Perces, it became nec
essary Is order to dl."lodge the Indians
to send some troops up the shelving
side of a mountain that wa utterly
without cov.T and was slippery with
Ice. It looked like certain death for
all the command engaged. Before the
start wan made Lleuunarvt Frank .
Baldwin, a staff officer, volunteered,
In order to put heart Into the men, to
go up the Icy Incline alone to nhow
the command that it could be done.
He started, and the savag-s opened
on him from every crag and peak.
The men did not let him get far before
they were following In his footsteps,
but the whole savage fire oentep-d on
Baldwin. That Impalpable protecting
arm which seems sometime to be
thrown around heroes saved him. He
would have been glvon a medal of
honor had not one already been pinned
on his blouse Just outside a pocket
which contained a certlflfAU? of m-rit
for personal gallantry on the battle
field. The example given are few. The
rule is general and is ulways followed.
It may be that the military critics of
the continent must find some recipe
