vates already richer in ‘hose quaiities than any others in Lurope; but he is thinking of the hounds, of polo, of of cricket, of Goodwood and Ascoi— of anything except of making sol dier- ing his life-work and the ladder to a career.

PATHETIC DISAPPOINTMENT.

The disuppoi: tment of the Colonial officers were painful when they discov- |ered that the average British officer ,wasa tyroat the game, like them- | selves.

I came to know several brigh:! Colonial officers, and though they re- covered from their earliest notion that the regular officer was overbearing and stupid, they never changed their opinion that he ought to know about fighting as a profession—and did not.

These Coloniais ef whom [I speak

ing the troops from heme in order to master every detail ef regular regimen- tal and camp lite. Whenever they could do so, they would walk through the nearest campef ‘Tommies,’ and ' them go back and say to their fellow- officers: ‘They are having a new kind ef imepection over there—inspecting kits—tlet us have it, or to the privates: ‘Boys, the regulars don’t go to bathe in » mob as we do; they go im march- ing order, the same as they would ge on parade, only without their arms. We must do se, too; we must set let them get the laugh on us.,

COLONIAL SAGBRNEGCS.

. er as his officer todo his best and learn ‘ his utmost, and ne work was too hard , for any of them, if it was in the direc- ' tion of learning to be ‘like the fellows ‘ from home.,

} At first, the regular officer (who has

the race-cauction against leaping intoit.-

i discriminate friendships) held aloot | from the colonial, and the colonists | used to remark that ‘you can get diamonds out of the De Beers safe easier than conversation cut of British officers. Butthe compulsory 5ed- fellowships of a campaign, and the rough work of war, done side by side, soon led the cautious regular to pick out the good fellows among the auxiliaries, and ‘o make friends of them.

Then it was that the colonial, full of the most earnest soldierly ambition (though he was a doctor or an archi- tect at home), discovered that the men whom he had looked up to as so many little gods of war, wanted always to talk of sport and speculation, love and good dining—ouit never of war.

were of this type: they hungered to be _ near the regulare and te fight beside | them, and they spest their days watch-

the Australians and Canadians, New Zealanders and Africanders got to woik. They used to form over the enemys Country in ones and twos, de- | fying the cowardly Boers, stampeding | the families, living on the fat of the | land, and mastering the topography, indeed some of them could find their way about at night like cats.

NATURAL APTITUDES.

Th» cowboys, bushrangers and Afri- canders all took naturally to fighting on their beilies, to getting and keep- to shooting | only when there was something to aim | at, instead of emptying their rifles at rocks and sagebush by the hour.

One of the best points about the

i colonial marks the difference between

the character of the © self reliant pioners in new land and the depend- ent masses in old countries. It may ' be thatEur-pean armies will never be | stocked with men of such independence | and self-confidence as not to care whether their officers are both with; them or absent, or are alive or dead. Yet it was this quality which made j possible much ef the work done by, the colonials. i

Take, for instance, the widely loose formation in which such super-excellent | troops as Brabant’s Horse went into action. I mention that body, because , it is officered by Imperial officers—by | regulars who had the modesty and wis- | dom not to try to alter the colonial’s | methods, but simply to drill and train and discipline him from camp and the rough essentials of organization, and then to make the most of his rough vut efficient and successful methods in warfare.

COLONIALS GOING INTO ACTION.

These colonials went into action so ~pread out that a company covered early a mile of single line, and the | Captain was often both unseen and un- heard by his men. Inthis way the men of the troop missed more bullcts than they caught, had as far a chance for their better marksmanship as the Boers had for their peor shooting, dis- guised their real strength (or weakness of numbers) just as the Boers did, and still remained, as they began, with the advantage of being better shots and brave men.

There is not a feature of all this that the more keen and ambitious British officers in South Africa have not noted ard appl«d to the methods of their own men—which in one reason may I say they are of greater value to Great Britain then when they left their shores
