was no appropriation available and
Colonel Sanger defrayed his own ox-
pulses. The. result of this investiga

ll‘Oill' the government printing office
which it is thought will become a text
book for the military student. Says
the author:
"The story of the Spanish-American
war has much which Americans must
read with pain." and then he tells how
seriously the. government was embar-
rnsscd in its efforts to make use of its
cumbersome and refractory slate mi-
rlitia. “If the state forces are main-
tained with a view to national de-
tense ill time of llt't’tl." continues (lol-

must be, that the array and state forc-
