LONDON , Sept. 22. Oeueral Nelson A.
Miles , Mrs. Allies and .Alde-de-Camp Cap-
tnln Maus tailed ( or the United Stales on
the steamer St. Louis oa October 2. The
commander of the army baa been In Europe
sluco Miy ou his tour of military observa
tion and ban Inspected everything of mili
tary interest , from the- armies of the great
powers In Held action down o "balloons and
v , " " I'0 remarked. ' Ho baa looked
i
ovar fortlilcatljns , barracks , camps , ordnance
works of all clauses , and In tbo Intervals of
< hlu work has written thrco reports to the
government , covering different features of
European militarism. After hli return be
. .willvltU the tt&UUnco of Cj > Uln Uau * ,
prepare another and more comprehensive re
port , In which will bo embodied recom
mendations for the Improvement of the
United Statoj army.
Incidentally , General Allies has met most
of the rulers of Kuropo , Including Qucn
Victoria , the czar of Russia , the emperor
of Germany , the tultin of Turkey and the
president of France. The president of the
French republic , however , ho considers to
ho In every characteristic the peer of the
royalties of Kuropo.
"President Kauro Is one of the most
courtly , dignified and accomplished men I
have met In Europe , " he oald , and added ,
"Tho French republic need have entertained
no mldglvlngs ai to bow Its chief magistrate
would comport himself during his recent
visit of i tale to the czar , a question which
at onu time deeply agitated the press of
France. "
General Miles talkrd Interestingly to a rep.
rescntatlvo of the Associated i'ress of his
tour , and although he declined to give any
opinions upon certiln questions as the
relative strength of the 'French ' and German
armies , his comments upon the character
istics of those two organizations as they Im
pressed him while en exhibition In tbo field
maneuvers at Hamburg and St. Quentln ,
were decidedly significant. Concerning the
changes to be mr.de In the organisation and
equipment as u result of his observation
General Miles would not speak. Certain
changes might be made by executive action ,
others would have to be authorized by con
gress , Those matters were dualt with In
his reports and whether they would bo maUo
known to the public depended upon the
secretary of war , to whom the reports were
to be made.
"When I left Washington the war between
Turkey slid Greece bad assumed such proportions
tions that It leaked as If the neighboring
provinces would b drawn Into It and
possibly one or two of the great powers of
Kuropo , " Goaeral Miles began. "No ono
thought at that time that Greece bad as
sumed hostilities when It was wholly un
prepared ( o ; war ; nor did any ono anticipate
that Turkoj would In forty-five daya
mobilize a great army of GOO.OOO men. When
I arrived at Constantinople an armistice had
been declared and war was practically over ,
although the armies have remained In hostile
attitudes and It has taken three months to
agree upon the conditions of peace for a
war that had been fought In a. few weeks.
Hut as my mission only partially concerned
that war and as the president and
secretary of war had authorized mete
to visit such countries as I might
think advisable for the purpose of
military observation 1 continued my Jour
ney , looking over all the principal armies
of Europe , many of the most Important
military establishments , the principal gun
factories and foundries , where the material
of war la constructed from the roost minute
small caliber projectiles to the heaviest
armor plate. I bave seen all the great
armies of Europe , except the Spanish army ,
and. If Spain should declare war against
tbo United Stales I may possibly have an
opportunity of seeing that. Of something
over 3,000.000 men under urms , I bave seen
nearly 400,000 In barracks and In garrison
and In field maneuvers , besides nearly 100-
000 men engaged In the construction of war
material.
"What I have seen does not Indicate that
the mllUnnlum IB at hand , when evrords will
be beaten Into ploughsbarci. Tbero never
WM a time In tbe blstory at the world when
such energy , Ingenuity nd wealth have been
devoted to war purposes Tlia resources and
Industries of many people arc largely de
voted to maintaining' Idrgo standing armies
and favorable navies. Fortunate are the
people of the United States that they are
wallorl In by two great oceans , yet this fact
would not warrant them'In ' any policy other
than keeping a reasonable * percentage 0 ( 0
population fully equipped and Instructed In
modern appliances and. methods of war.
"It so happened that Important events
occurring In Europe trila year have con
tributed to my opportunity for observation ,
giving mo chances to bee the best of the
armies of all the great polvers. The celebra
tion of Queen Victoria's sixty-year reign
brought together 60,000 of her army nnd
38,000 men of her navy. The Meld maneuvers
In KuHsIa were conducted on a largo scale
and were exceedingly Interesting. Kussla
for hurdreds of years has. been a great
military nation Its people have been
accustomed to war and Its population Is EO
numerous and It Is so located geographically
as to be practically Independent of the other
powers of the world. Though Its govern
ment has been autocratic and Its pe plo far
behind the age In enlightenment , only 8 per
cent of the population being able to read , tbe
rays of Intellectual enlightenment are
penetrating that vast region and there Is a
great future for Ilussla.
"Tho Russian army Is'composed ' of strong ,
hardy men and Its officers are highly
educated and skilled officials. Germany is
ono vast military camp. It Is Geographically
In such a position that It is compelled to
maintain a great military force. On ono
side Is Austria , that Its soldiers bave over
run , and France , th t lias been conquered
and a part of Us territory taken away , by
fighting It when It waa at a great dis
advantage. On the other side stands the
great Russian bear , and between these two
Germany finds It necessary to keep Its
powder dry. The German army Is kept under
rigid discipline , Is well drilled , makes the
finest appearance on parade , but Its fighting
qualities are no better than the English ,
Russian or French armies.
"I taw part of the French maneuvers near
St. Quentin. The French army Id not spec
tacular In appearance , yet It has a solidity
and earnestness of purpose which Indicate
that It Is7ell equipped for war , Ita uni
forms are not so handsome as I hone of the
German ' army. There were 70,000 well
cq'ulpped , well disciplined troops , and the
rovlow by the president was ono of the finest
displays I have ever witnessed. Tbo army
of 70,000 passed tbo reviewing bland In a Ht-
tlo more than two hours' time , and tbe en-
tlrp body of cavalry , 10,000 strong , charged
across tbo field In one solid mass and baited
but a few yards from the president In al
most perfect line and splendid order , "
Tbo correspondent suggested that Euro
pean military men held that officers of tbe
United States army were at a dltadvantage
In being without opportunities to drill largo
armies ,
"Vet * great field maneuvers simply stimu
late war , " was tbo comment of General
Miles.
"Tbo Hamburg maneuvers were prac
tically a great drill , They looked very
grand , but there Is no school of war except
war. There are hundreds , If not thousands ,
qf men lathe United States who have been
engaged lp the same maneuvers with bri
gades , divisions , corps o ; armies lo practical
drill nearly every day tot tour rears , and
at the same time have been In moro dcfl-
perate , hard fought battles than any men
lit Europe. Still , field maneuvers are ube-
ful , and accustom men lo sco and to com
mand largo bodies of troops , and teach
bodies of soldiers to move together. "
To tbo question If the United States , under
Its present military policy , would bo able to
capo with a European power , General MlleJ
replied : "In our population 'It Is estimated
that ono man out of fiveIs capable of bear
ing arms. That would give ua an army of
12,000,000. Our people are strong phys
ically , and generally Intelligent and well
Informed. Desldcs that , each citizen Is n
sovereign , and personally Interested in the
welfare of his government , and serves vol
untarily , without being forced Into service
by a military despotism. We have many
thousands of men Hill living who have seen
moro war , participated In more battles than
any men In Europe. Hut It Is another thing
to equip an army with modern appliances
for tbo defense of a coast where we would
have to use high power guns and modern
projectiles , wblcb It takes years to con
struct , while small arms are not to bo made
In a few days or weeks. Modern rifles are
different from the squirrel guns with wblcb
our revolutionary fathers went to war. The
rangv of modern arnii is very great , and
pro ] cell lea weigh from 700 pounds to a ton
of steel , Tbo rapidity of the rapid Ore me-
chine guns , the Maxim and Qatllng , Is 400
to 600 shots a minute. These are all largely
used in tbe European service. "
