MARKSMEN IN THE ARMY.
THE DISCIPLINE THAT MAKES OUR SOLDIERS EXPERTS.
The Country Ha* Not Largt Military Force, bat the lSoyi In Blue Are Remarkab)" for Their Facility In Handling the
WE
Rifle—How They Are Taught and Trained.
The United States has a very extensive territory, yet it has the smallest regular army of any civilized power of nearly equal territorial extent. Still, with American ideas and policy, the gallant little force seems amply sufficient to guard the country. Peace is so much the policy of our nation that even the small army finds little to do. The great Indian tribes have been corralled within their reservations, and tho life of the United States soldier is now narrowed down to the stereotyped military code. Weary with the some old ceremonies from year to year, practiced until the regular tactics are absolutely perfect, they have developed the principal garrison duty, target shooting, into a science of remarkable accuracy. The pleasure of the practice and the spirit of emulation aroused combine to make them the most skilled marksmen in the world.
THE* BEAT THE WORLD.
The rifle used is the ordinary Springfield service pattern, a breech loader, carrying seventy grains of powder and 600 grains of lead, common service sights that never get out of order.
Our Little army may be deficient in many ways, but in the matter of rifle shooting to hit and with the object of hitting to kill (the business in which the soldier is presumed to be particularly efficient), it certainly stands first in the world. Another great advantage, although not a pleasant one, has been continuous and almost everlasting statioas on the remote frontier. Surrounded with large and small game, what wonder that men, whose business it is to kill, always seized every opportunity for hunting?
To be perfectly fair, our marksmen are so far in advance of the best European soldiers, that, so far as execution is concerned, the latter would have no show whatever when pitted against our own regulars. European armies, though armed with a longer range gun, yet lack practice and accuracy.
They are trained to volley shooting instead of individual aim, and the result is that fully haLt of the men fire at random into the air. Uncle Sam's man has to depend upon himself. European nations nurse their dislike of each other and their military training partakes of it. They pay more attention to hatching up new schemes to hurt each other than hitting the bull's eye. They are able to pierce, times without number, a target in tho shape of an effigy of a French soldier, but would miss at every shot an American target. Neither the French, Germans, Belgians nor Russians have the skill of the Americans in sighting their guns or in handling their pieces.
Routine duty on the frontier is about as follows: The .soldier gets §18 per month straight pay, rations, clothing, and a certain allowance which is paid him on the date of his discharge an increase for each year's service or re-en-listment additional remuneration if promoted corporal, sergeant or artificer extra pay if worked as a carpenter, plasterer or mechanic, and lots of other perquisites too small to mention. Guard duty is the hardest in the service, and to this the soldier is eligible about one day in six.
SOIJ)I£B LIFEi
Three roll calls a day, reveille, retreat and tattoo (if a cavalryman, stables twice a day) drills Mondays or Fridays, dress parade every evening, and target practice whenever weather permits. Each company in the service is provided with a pair of breeoh loading shotguns, a certain annual allowance of powder, shot, wad and shell, and these are open to everybody for hunting purposes when not employed on other duty. The soldier can then amuse himself knocking over jack rabbits, bagging sago hens and prairie chickens, and missing as many ducks and wild geese as he wants to.
Tours of detached service are merely picnics. Large game of some kind can almost always be found, and what better sport could any one ask? There is one undeniable fact about a five years' term in the United States army. All sorts of material are caught for soldiers the beer drinking Teuton, tho bull dog Englishman, the fun loving Irishman, tho ignorant darky, and, in fact, men of all nationalities and all climes. They come to us as bright as meteors and as verdant as cucumbers but no matter how green and unsophisticated the recruit may be when he joins, ho has developed into a fine marksman when he leaves tho army, and with decidedly more senqe than he was enlisted with.
