THE FIELD ARTILLERY JOURNAL control system of the coast artillery and manned by coast artillerymen. The naval fiasco at the Dardanelles has magnificently justified the principle of the Coast Artillery Corps. A second class power there defeated the purposes of the greatest navy in the world. Before that dramatic clash between sea power and land fortifications there were those who openly doubted the value of coast artillery. Dead men and sunken ships was the vicious answer. The necessity of mobile troops to resist the attack on seacoast fortifications by both land and sea was equally demonstrated by the second and bloodier phase of the Allies' Dardanelles campaign. Only a complete, properly organized mobile army could have held Gallipoli against such a desperate attack. As the best defense of mobile artillery against infantry fire is infantry fire, so the best defense of coast artillery fortifications against an efficient mobile army is an efficient mobile army. It is not the policy of this Journal in its editorial pages to take up in controversial spirit and answer an article in a sister Journal. But it is the duty of THE FIELD ARTILLERY JOURNAL to enunciate the principle that field artillery, light and heavy, both for coast defense and the defense of interior lines, is the proper type of artillery for operating with a mobile army. Ensuing Publications A NEW edition of the Drill Regulations for Field Artillery has been prepared by the Field Artillery Board, submitted to the General Staff, and will shortly be published. The draft was passed upon by the officers of the battalion of the 3rd Field Artillery stationed at Fort Myer, and is understood to have received enthusiastic approval. It is of course too early for any drill regulations to take advantage of the lessons of the European War, but this new edition contains radical changes. The dismounted instruction has been remodeled after the infantry 142
EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT drill instruction which all recruits receive and the mounted instruction has been rewritten. These regulations will probably be published in two volumes, under the head of Service Regulations for Field Artillery (Horse and Light). The first volume will consist of General Principles and Definitions, Dismounted Instruction, Mounted Instruction, Ceremonies and Care of Equipment. The second volume will contain Firing Instructions, and Artillery in the Field. THERE has been in the past some misunderstanding as to the publication of a Gunners' Instruction Pamphlet. THE FIELD ARTILLERY JOURNAL undertook the publication of such a pamphlet, but withdrew on learning of an actual publication by the Second Field Artillery, N. G. N. Y., which reimbursed the Journal for its preliminary expense. This militia regiment now stands ready to supply all demands for such a pamphlet, and will issue a supplement covering the 1905 breech block if there appears to be sufficient demand for it. DR. GERALD D. GRIFFIN, Veterinarian, 3rd Field Artillery, Fort Myer, Virginia, has published the words and music of "The Red Guidon." It is belived that another edition will soon be ensuing, and that Doctor Griffin will be led to publish certain of his other songs, already so well known throughout the Field Artillery, that comment on them is unnecessary. 143
