Excerpt from Tactics, Vol. 2 This, the second volume of tactics treats of the employment of cavalry, field and heavy artillery in field warfare, with due regard to the great influence exerted on them by the lessons of recent campaigns. Although cavalry was unable to win victories with the arm blanche in the Balkans, in south-africa, and in Manchuria, the science of combat as such should nevertheless point out that cavalry need by no means dispense with shock action; that, in spite of all mechanical improvements in fire arms, saber and lance have not, by a long shot, become useless. While I place a high value upon the use of fire action, I am firmly convinced that the days of mounted charges are, by no means, over. The more our opponents are convinced of the futility of a charge against infantry or artillery, the better the chances of our success.

The march will be in the following order, in quick time, and without music; the field music, followed by the band; the escort in column by platoon, right in front, with arms on the right shoulder, and the color-bearer between the platoons. 6. Arrived in front of the tent or quarters of the colonel, the escort will form line, the field music and band on the right, and arms will be brought to a shoulder. 7. The moment the escort is in line, the color-bearer, preceded by the first lieutenant, and followed by a sergeant of the escort, will go to receive the color. 8.

After some twenty seconds, the captain will cause the sound to cease, arms to be shouldered, and then break by platoon into column; the color-bearer will place himself between the platoons, and the lieutenant and sergeant will resume their posts. 10.

Excerpt from Letters on Strategy, Vol. 2 of 2 I will gladly comply with your request to write more about Strategy and its technical branch, although I must confess to being surprised at your objections to my manner of dealing with the science which you say is open to attack from the point of deep and earnest study. Frederick the Great threw off to some extent the bonds which the "scientific" rules of pedants had placed on strategy; and another hard and fast system was ruthlessly destroyed by Napoleon's genius and drastic simplicity, which gave ear to sound reason alone. Only be can become master of an art who practises it under the guidance and example of other masters, and it is from the events which have been handed down to us by history, that I seek this guidance and example.

Excerpt from Letters on Strategy, Vol. 1 of 2 Varying circumstances, and the uncertainty of the in formation about the enemy, often make it hard even for a good strategist to hold fast to his original resolutions and to carry out the necessary steps for their execution. The Views of the strategist may often become obscured by the cloud of contradictory reports about the enemy, and so what was before perfectly clear to him is no longer so well defined. All this renders it difficult to write well about strategy. Only those who have passed through the mental struggles which form part of its execution can be sure that their ideas upon the art will be just. I gladly wrote to you about tactics, because I had had practical experience and could tell you the results of my own Observation in war and could judge of that of others. In strategy, however, I have had but little experience, for I have had very few opportunities of being present when determinations were come to, and still fewer of expressing my own views on them.

Excerpt from School Tactics and Maze Running, Vol. 2 In any public school system it seems important that the tactics follow as closely as possible those of the United States Army, not because these are the best in all respects, but because many of the individuals Will enter the different regiments later, as this is the most commonly accepted and generally understood form in America. It is thus most practicable, and as it seems possible to unite upon this, Whereas it would not be possible to unite upon any sys tem which represented the views of a special group of men, it seems necessary to have a separate manual, because a large fraction of the commands used in the army are unnecessary for use in gymnasiums, and there are a num ber of conditions to be met With in the gymnasiums for Which adequate commands do not exist in the Infantry Manual.
