is, how far are we and other European, pawere going to push the rock rifle theory? Flat trajee tary and high finetention are most excellent things, but not so usaontial that what we will brutally call "stopping power" should bosaorificod in thu No was lo has over held a rifle sporting or otherwise, in his hand, will underrate the valas of flat trajectory; nor do we. But in military armus gcvat penetration is less necessary, and, is for a 2,000 yande killing range, we fail to see that unelaimed ability to kill ster distance at which the human oye dan barely detect a fos and the beman band and oro can certainly not make enre of hiru, is an advantage werth securing at the cost of ability to stop an enemy on the rash." The infatuation for a rifle that will kill at an abnormally long range dates, if wa mistake noi, from the famous defence of Playna, when the Ticks on a noted. osession oponed fra en tha” advancing Russians at a range which obligat them to ignora sighting oftogether and flre at nu loration which is not recognised in regula. tions. The result, it will be remembered, was considerable slaughter, and, more important at the momont, the demoralisation of the Russian troops to whom those tactics were a disagree." able and surprising novelty. The lesson mili- tary students red from this incident was that long range fire is a thing greatly to be desired, and logically a long rango riffe the weapon of all others with which to arm troops. We are only saying what we imagine every soldier has thought or said, when we expresi “our opinion that the wrong isssen was, dedused from the Plevas insident. To the bivilian 'mind it appears that the attacking forco and not the garrison should have learned a leszon and.ens of a totally different character; to wit, that the intervening ground between themselves. and defences should be covered as rapidly sa pos- sible. Possibly it was due to the prevailing i penze that defence, not attack, was the thing proper for consideration by a.nation, who sought to remain at pesco, but whatever the reason, tha lesson drawn from the Plavon antion was that the long range rifle was the great infantry' desideratam.
