Is the Bayonet a Survival ? New Tort Herald. A writer in Blackwood's Magazine for May raises bis voice te sing the dirge of the sword. While the sword lived, he cries, " steel was a gentleman " and the sword is no mere. It has abandoned ics high place as a type of strength, as an ar biter of destiny, as tbe badge et chivalry te become rails. He wails ever it : " Throughout the ages it grandly held up its head and haughtily bore its name. It lest no caste when it allied, itself with lance and dagger, with battleaxe and heln, for they were of its natural kindred ; and even when, in later times, it steeped te generate sucn lowly elispriug as razors, lancets, knives aud needles, the world saw no real abasement in tbe act. for the chiv alrous blade was still the image which represented steel te man." But new it is becoming cheap. " It has been driven contemptuously out of sight by metallur gic persons called Bessemer and Krupp, aud Siemens, and these destructive crea tors have put into its place a nineteenth century substance, exactly fitted te a mer cantile period, possessing no tie whatever with time or fame." Then he proceeds te greau ever the things the sword will de no mere. Scant comfort he finds in what remains of the sword. "A lingering sur vivor of the family is still te be detected in the French duelling tool, but with the ex ception of that pallid, sickly inheritor of a fallen crown all direct descendants of the once mighty race have died out." Here one calls a halt. Is net this glittering mourner really begging the questieu ? Just pause and think of the last review you have witnessed. There were the cav alry, with their glittering sabres, in mar shalled thousands. At the head of every company of infantry marched a captain with his shinisg sword. Above the heads of the men was the old " forest of steel " in bayonets, giving one unpleasant sensa tiens under the fifth rib, where Cromwell used te thank heaven se many cavaliers had been pierced. Perhaps your mind wanders off te the last time that the " Knights Templars" or whatever the masquerading Masens call themselves who march with cress hilted swords in cress like formations passed in review down Broadway, There something of the truth of the Blackwood writer's lament strikes you. Celd steel has become a mummery. Your heart gees with him as he proceeds : " Ne one can seriously pretend that the soldier's sabre of te day is anything but a bastard of the kin. It is a vulgar article of commerce, like skewers or chisels or nails, supplied by contract from Liege or St. Etienne, from Solingen or Birmingham" he might add from Philadelphia. "It has no place in the glorious lineage of fighting steel. It is a mere article of military acceutrement. Among the tools of actual war it stands a long way below knapsacks, a little abeve chin straps and about en a level with shov els. It has been cast out into the ceid shade by breech-leaders and rilled barrels. It has scarcely any bleed relationship with the real sword with the sword which was the only essential weapon of every man who fought." This writer, you begin te think after all, is tee sentimental, lie is a Den Quixote, without the nerve of the Knight of La Mancha ; for, if he had the pluck of a Den, would lie net be out sword in hand hacking at rolling mills in stead of sitting in his study making faces at the steam engine ? But he has philosophized en that matter as well in this wise: "Like stone can non balls, the rack, the toga aud cups of hemlock, hard hitting has passed out of our wants." And further : The discarding of this universal, indis pensable and perpetual weapon has brought about a transformation of two distinct kinds in the features of European war. Its result has been the almost total abolition of hand-te-hand hitting. Its moral outgrowth has been te change the nature of the courage which is required in soldiers and te give a new form te the manifestation of that courage. With the exception of such cavalry charges and of such infantry rushes as result in a melee (and they are growing rare in the actions of te-day) there is an end in Europe of close quarter, and of the savages tussles, which formerly made up almost the whole of a battle. Instead of delivering his stroke with his own arm and within the reach of his arm the soldier new trans mits his blew through the barrel of his gun te the distance of a mile or two. Shelter trenches have replaced sin gle combat. Smart fighting new consists in slaughtering people you cannot sec and te whom you are yourself invisible. Yeu lie down in a hole and aim at a puff of smoke somewhere in, front and try te de tect the consequences through a field glass. A little exaggerated, truly, for the rille will net kill at " a mile or two," though the rifled cannon will. Hew much the actual state of the case is overdrawn in this raphsedy seemed worth finding out, and the Herald writer, who had been troubled en the subject, asked lib old army friends, " What truth is there in it ? Is cold steel, stabbing stee', of no mero use in war ?'' Said a cavalryman who had fought through the war : " I was in thirty-live engagements with my regiment. I carried that sword you see hanging there, and a nice piece of steel it is, through every fight." " Did you ever cut a mau down ?'' "Never. I struck a fellow once who was running awav en the back with the flat of my sabre, that was all." " Were you ever in a charge?"' " I believe you, and ugly looking ones tee, but you seldom get a chance at a man with the sword in a charge. Our line once met the rebel cavalry, but it happened then as it nearly always happens. Every trooper instinctively makes for a lane be tween two of the enemy's hefses, they at the same time trying te de the same with the horses en your side. Hence as you go through you have no chance te hit until you are past the man you could hit. If you de any execution yen de it with a pistol." " Did you hear of many sword wounds ?"' " Very few. T,hc charge for cavalry is the exception nowadays. New soldiers are fend of their sabres, but the old ones leek en them as old bacon knives." "And the officers of feet regiments?" "They are net expected te fight." "And the bayonet?" " Well, the outcome of au advance is usually decided before the troops can meet. Yet bayonet wounds were net unknown, although comparatively rare." At West Point a chance offered for pur suiner the inquiry quietly. There the cadets are taught fencing by a master of the sword, and in the naing scnoei some of the prettiest exhibitions showing hard work in training were these where the cadets with the horses at the gallop bent ever in the saddle te " cut heads " en the ground or "cut heads" between jumps ever hurdles. If all the trouble taken te teach them these tricks of the soldiers' trade was simply the pursuit of an abso abse lete art it looked surely like time and effort thrown away. "Net altogether," said General O. O. Heward, the superintendent. " As an ex ercise it is beneficial ; it quickens the eye and steadies the hand." " Did you think the sword a useful wea pon?" Tt- ti-ioe mniva;i.. ::.. .. sense of security." " With the Indians, for instance ?" "Ne. On service against the Indians tbe sabre is always left behind." "And the officer's sword?" " It is a badge of authority." " A cane would de as well ?" " About the same thing." A cane, however, would never leek as well as the naked sabre that young warrior bere while we were speaking as he rode 'past beside the guns in the artillery ma neeuvres. I asked General Heward about the bayonet. mc trowel bayonet, said no, seems just what is wanted. A man wants te re trench nowadays, and it is better te give him a weapon that he can scoop a hole with. It is better for that use than a tin cup or a jack knife, te which se many were glad te resort in the war." " In fact, the cannon, the rifla and the pistol arc the main reliance new. De you teach marksmanship here ?" " Yes, but net much ; we have no time for much of that, se much time is required for study." Captain Raymond, professor of engineer ing, held similar views. The sword he thought of no use, but the bayonet was still needed. "People," he said, " who study these matters knew that generalizations are dangerous. Yeu want te give a man a cutting weapon for rushe? and melees and they still occur in war. In the Russo Russe Turkish war, for instance, there were sev eral. I hen it would impair a regiments morale te think that for close quarters its men were at a disadvantage with the enemy." "General Grant, who advocates the abolition of the bayonet, has said that men could de as well with clubbed muskets as with bayonets." " In actual total of men disabled, per haps, but men will ba mere emboldened te risk such a wound, as might be expected from a clubbed musket than one from a bare 'bayonet. Every such consideration has weight in a rush. The melee may be expected te occur in assaults upon im portant works, and there the bayonet would ceme into play en both sides. We have had the trowel bayonet tried with some of the troops and they seem te solve the problem. Tbey are a terrible weapon qnd a useful tool. During the railroad riots some regular troops armed with them were scut te Baltimore, and the ex clamations of the roughs when they saw the trowel bayonets upon our Springfield rilles and thought what wounds they would make proved their moral value. There was no trouble while the trowels were there." "What did the roughs say?" "Well, one was heard te say that he didn't intend te be 'ploughed open,' or something te that effect." Decidedly cold steel "appeared still te have its uses. An opportunity seen pre sented itself for a few moments' chat with General Sherman, who, as general of the army and the here of much hard fighting, might surely be expected te knew and speak with authority. General Sherman was kind enough te tackle the matter without preliminary skirmishing, and said: " As te the sword, the bayonet and cut ting weapons in general which arc new used in war, you must leek at the condi tions that limit their use. The great ques tion iu fighting new is that of ammunition. Hew te supply that and keep up the supply is a difficult problem. Troops are new mere than ever likely te sheet away their ammunition and leave themselves without a single round. ' Of course, old troops will de se in a less degree, but since the facility te sheet has been increased all troops will in certain situations expend five times as much powder and ball as is necessary. Hence the necessity of lightening the sol diers' kit and outfit as much as possible te give them mere ammunition. This te a great extent must govern the ether arms he carries. I think, therefore, a heavy bayonet en the end of his rille out of the question. "What de you think, general, of the trowel bayonet, which se many praise as at once a terrible weapon and an intrench ing tool? " 'I don't like it at ail. The idea about it in that a soldier should use it as a ma son does a trowel when he wants te in trench himself. The mischief about it is that the time. when a man would need te dig a hele for himself would be one of great excitement, and instead of using it as a trowel he would put it en the end of Iris rille aud use the whole thing as a spade. He would be pretty sure te twist the barrel of his piece in doing this. As a result you would have your man in a geed hole, but he might blew his own head te pieces when he tried te lire at the enemy. There would be no economy in that. " Would you, then, abolish the bayonet altogether ?" " By no means. I referred before te the rapidity with which men would ex haust their cartridge iexes. If by any chance men were left without ammunition for a few minutes the want of some kind of stabbing weapon might destroy their morale utterly. I think the spring baye net meets that want. It is a thin red of steel, sharply pointed, which would be al ways earned in the gun as a wiper, but which when drawn out and fixed would at once become an effective bayonet. Its weight would be only that of the ordinary wiping red ana mucn ngutcr man tne eia ramrod. If it was necessary te give soldiers an intrenching tool I would furnish them with something like a cheese knife te carry by their Bide, but net en the end of their rifles." "De you think, General, that hand te hand encounters are things of the past altogether ?" " Net at all. They will mero than ever occur. The best commander will be he who can bring his men quickest te close quarters under the most favorable circum stances." "What are these circumstances?" " Well, perhaps the best would be when the enemy's ammunition wa3 temporarily exhausted." "Would that be likely te occur with a geed service train ?" "Just remember that forty rounds was the old complement for a man Nowadays they give a mau sixty rounds, which is about the limit a man can safely carry. Remember that a body of fresh troops could fire off their sixty reuuds in well, five minutes. They sec a few puffs of smeke ahead of tuem, and they lead and fire as fast as their fingers will let them. The trouble of supplying a line of troops in such a rough country as ours, for in stance, with ammunition would be con siderable, and some hitches could easily occur. Well, say that one such has oc curred en the line opposite te me. I sec that they have ceased firing. I send out my skirmishers and they are unmolested. I am en them in a rush." "Why is sixty rounds a maximum ?" " Because ammunition is what we call dead weight, and it presses en the weak est part of the body. Yen must net put mere than a certain weight of that kind upon a man, unless you want te disable him. Yeu must have your cartridges car ried te the front during an engagement en mules or horses and dropped behind the fighting line. Yeu must net overload your fighting men. Yeu knew a curious fact has come te light about Custer's last fight. He had ridden his men se hard that when they went into the fight they were net, upon dismounting, able te stand, but staggered like drunken men, and in some instances were merely clubbed te death by the Indians. Riding as they rode, laden with ammunition, they were whipped before they could strike a blew. Ammunition is the great problem, as I have said, and whoever in battle can cause his adversary te threw away his cartridges, while using his own only as they de execution, is in the fairest way te win, and be must bring his men te close quarters at the earliest practicable mo ment." S;" Are our officers equal te the nicnts of the new order of things require in war- fare?" " Our officers arc equal te any in the world and as keen as any. I have seen the Prussian, French and English officers and I have iie hesitation in saying that scientifically and otherwise ours have as a class no superiors. They are en the look out for all changes, and are abreast of the world's information in everything per taining te the business." "General, my intention at first was te ask you what you thought of the future of the sword. Has it a future ?" "The sword," said the general caress ingly, as though there was some magic in the sound of the word, "The sword is scarcely a weapon new. It is an officer's badge of authority, that is all." " Will the cavalry sabre survive ?" " Ne, I fear the sabre will have te go. A couple of pistols will probably take its place in the cavalryman's outfit." Having related te the general the ex pcriccce of my army friend who had never hit anybody but a runaway prisoner with his sabre, and then with the fiat of it, the general smiled and said : "Til nil sneli "isa flip! linth wv is fit ride en a man and kneck'him down. It demoralizes him. His rifle gees one way, his knapsack another, and perhaps he gets a kick from the horse that frightens mere than it hurts ; then the ether fellows be hind can pick him up." With this piece of practical advice for young men in the cavalry, when sabres are no mere, the conversation closed. I talked shortly after with a major in the English army about swords and close quarter fighting. He said, among ether things : "I think the days of clese quarter fight ing arc pretty well ever. At least no sol -diets but Scetchmen and Irishmen will want te fight hand te hand, and I suppose as long as there are Irishmen and Scetchmen there will be charges and melees." Se farewell, sabre !
