There seem* to be a deep-seated be
lief among the people that any man
can tie a successful soldier: that cloth
ed In a uniform, given a gun aid
taught to keep step with a drum the
mechanic of yesterday l* fitted to over
cope the aoldie sos yea;a' training.
The reason for thl* belief Is that the
average person takes but little note
of the progress of events outs de of his
every day life. The wars be best re
mem her* from bis school history were
fought by voluntee s and the unthink
ing conclusion Is that all future ones
may be as successfully fought. Limi
tations of transportation made those
wars longer than they can ever be in
the future. The successful side in one
battle or campaign cou’.d not then en
tirely grasp the fruit of victory. Tra'.n- j
ing and expe lence could then go band
In hand and the result was a splendid
soldier. The Continental army that
forced the eutrender at Yorktown did
not march as regularly as the British
Redcoat or the Hessian hiding, but
they were better soldiers because they
knew the essentials without the frills,
they knew how to march long dis
tances, shoot straight and care for
themselves in all conditions of cam
paign. The officers knew their ma
chine. The knowledge came from long
practice In the school of war Itself.
Under present conditions, however,
one great battle, on© campaign lost
may enable the victor to seize the vi
tal centres and a country Is paralyzed.
Therefore the soldier must now be
trained befo:e the war commences and
his training should be in a school sim
ulating as nearly a 3 possible actual
war. Unbroken well dressed lines
look well on parade, but present to
the enemy a target that before mod
ern guns will disappear as a mist be
(c r the suu.
When a regiment marches well In
line and executes the manual of arms
in un'soa it Is cf.en considered good. Yet
of what value are these accomplish
ments in battle? R-views, parades
and other ceremonies are worse than
useless, because time is consumed in
teaching their details that could he
better expended in teaching, the ne-
ahd lei sons in discipline eno

ALL IN WHITE
AND GOLD
A Beautiful Drawing:
Room in Augusta.

Honrs.
Augusta, noted for the charm of it*
home*, ha* through all It* length and
breadth a no more beautiful drawing
1 room than that in a certain popular
i home on Greene street. A h«u*e In
which the wbo.o Interior haa a grace
all Its own.
The drawing room la In white and
gold. That combination sound* rather j
.■old and uninviting, but in reality the
effect la irresistible The gold tuul
white la softened and toned down by
1 the warm but subdued tints lu car- i
,tet and hangings. The wall-paper ha*
no decided pattern, that Is. in genuine
effect, but In reality Its pale cream I
background Is covered with a most ar- j
tlatlc design In what look* to be gold,
in one and light bronze In another; i
The carpel has cream and delicate
fawn tints, and Is sprinkled all over
with pale pink webs. The woodwork
is white, and the many windows are
covered with lace curtains so flinty
ind so purely white that they seem to
have lost the forbidding snowiness
generally connected with lack of coioi.
This Is partly due to the fact that the
while Venetian blir ’ are pushed out
of the way and f foliage without
peeps through t> ibwebby folds In
such a way as to lend the soft green
touches with which the clever artist
vho designed the cover to the Decem
ber Scribner’s gives such a feathery
leok to bis angel’s wings.
The gold color note Is struck most
strongly In the superb gold mirrows
over the great nienlel, a mirror which
lias the reputation of being the superh
end the most unique In Georgia, and
which, imported originally from Paris,
has been in the poss esion of its own
er’s family for four generations. The
severity of the white-tiled mantel -Is
broken by an elaborate drapery of
olive green silk wrought In metallic
tints, bronze, gold and silver. Two
rare pieces of bric-a-brec alone adorn
the mantel. In the window to the left
Is a white tahoret. on which rests a
Dresden fern-dish Ailed with maiden
hair, another green note in the har
mony. On the right the flreplacecomes
in half concealed with exquisite Ori
ental rirnpories suspended from nn
elaborately carved bracket. A three
cornered rilvan la covered with satin
damask and bronze-greon and gold,
riled high with downy pillows encased
ni brocade and satins exquisitely har
monious. „
There arc no pictures on the walls,
only on the right a large piece of tap
estry by nn Augusta artist, represent
ing Queen Guinevere watching King
Arthur ride by.

Camp McKenzie, Ga., Dec. 7, lKbfv.
To the Editor of tho Herald: In
she People’s Forum of last evening’s
edition of your interesting paper, 1
noticed an article pertaining to come
from an individual styling himself
"E. C.” of the First division hospital
corps, In which he spoke of the “con
troversy now on” in regard to the sol
dier’s opinion of the Southern people.
I have been rather a close reader of
your paper * lnL ’ n con, lng to Augusta
mid can say that last evening, read
ing his communication, was the lirst
time I was made aware of any such
controversy, or that any soldier had
publish :d nn article disparaging to
the Southern women, and I am happy
to la- able to say that the worthy (?)
other. One chair is old-gold with soft
browns; uuother introduces u sliver
■note in ita electric blue; still another
is pale gold like winter sunlight, and
another Is t> delicate pink just touched
with silver.
The chairs represent the perfection
of the art display'd in furnishing the
room, but Its real fascination lies in
the fact that, entering it, one imme
diately- enjoys the realization of an
atmosphere bright and pure and sweet
and wholesome, an effect of spacious
ness anti elegance, of princely sim
plicity, and home like charm.
