PEN PICTURES OF WAR. WHAT A BATTTE IS LIKE UNDER xCD ERN CONDITIONS.

(From the London News.)

One of our war correspondents in the course of a privateletter to a friend, gives some vivid pictures of the reali- ties of war under modern cendi- tions. —

“Asregards my own feelingin a fight it is very hard to describe; I know when the thing is all over and I am all right I feel much happier. Any man who has been in a modern fight,

around, and says he likes it, is a liar. In former days it must have been dif- ferent The enemy could be seen, the smoke could be seen, and rifles had to | be reloaded after every shot. At 1,000 ' yards you were in comparative safety. The infantry, after receiving one vol- | ley, could charge, knowing that until

the enemy had Joaded again each man |

| was practically safe. | “Nowadays that is all changed. No- thing isseen, no man, nosmoke. The

| only thing seen is_ the dust thrown up |

| by the bullets. like a rainstorm on the surface of a lake, the artillery throwing shells, and the shells bursting. In contrast to this is the noise, which is

Queen. It is a medal conferred upon him for having gallantly jumped into a Prussian canal and rescued a would-be suicide. It was conferred on him when Military Attache at Berlin by the Emperor in person, at a State ball in Berlin, in the presence of the di- plomatic corps and a brilliant assemb- ly. Prince Bismarck had a similar medal, which was his most cherished | decoration.

| THE LATEST GOOD SENSE OF ENGLISHMEN.

| A Dutchman in business in London | writes to a friend in Holland :— My business brings me into relation | with serious and solid people. I am , continually amazed to discover - how very wide-spread is the conviction that England is inthe wrong. I know hun- dreds of business people, merchants, lawyers, manufacturers, &c., and so far I have hardly met one well-educated person who is not convinced of the im- morality of this war. What is more ' remarkable is that the number of those who want to get out of the war with- _ out putting it through increases daily. Our good Dutchman keeps very good company. His serious and solid people are byno means a fair sample of the featherheads and lunatics who have rushed us into this war.

whistles according to its breed After a time you can tell what is coming, or, if it is one of your own, what is going.

“The most terrifying of the enemy’s guns isa sort of Hotchkiss, which fires around five round at a time and throws a one-pound shell, which bursts. You are safe nowhere, as a_ bullet, fired at an object 800 yards, which misses, hits and kills at 2,000 or 3,000. It prac- tically means with these riflesthat a bullet is never spent until it hits some- thing and remains there. When a bul- | let strikes, you hear nothing; it goes j right througha man and probably travels on another 2,000 yards. You heara grunt ora_ gurgle, and the man collapses and doubles; sometimes if hit in the arm or leg he spins around and falls, and _ probably gets up again, as it is only the shock which knocks him down, and he hardly fells the bul- let. At Modder river I went down with three guns of the Eighteenth Bat- tery to within 1,300 yards and saw five men go over, one after the other, but only one killed.

“The worst thing is a bullet wound in the stomach, below the navel, which is mortal. The pain is excruciating and they howl like a shot hare; it sounds likea child screaming, and is horrible. But you see such a lot of beastly sights and_ hear such a lot of heartrending sounds that you become accustomed to them and callous. I found a wounded Boer at Magersfon- tein who was shot—evidently while ly- ing down—through the -topof the ; head above the right ear;the bullet | had travelled through his head and out at the back of his jaw on the left side. It had then broken his collar bone, and taken a turn, travelled around his ribs, and out at his side. He was not pretty to look at, but did not seem much the worse, and while I gave him water he explained to me the course of the bullet. Some of the recoveries are perfectly marvellous. I suppose after

lish some of the extraordinary cases which have passed through their hands.”

Amongst Lord Methuen’s decora-

tions is one which, it may be safely ——=

30er army, puts the figures at 1,200. | Speaking of the capture of the Dub- lin Fusiliers, Mr, Gillingham wrote: —

It was a lot of Dublin Fusiliers we bagged first, and as we brought them to our camp the boys gave them a pretty talking to. Most of them look- ed awfully ashamed of themselves, but soom looked as black as night when they saw our green flag waving above the thousands of riflemen as they were led to prison.

Plenty of the Dubliners were glad to

WAR NOTES.

The war office announces that 15 transports will be despatched between Thursday and Monday with 13,000 troops including the 4th cavalry brigade militia battalions and 3,000 yeomanry.

Sir Alfred Milner has sent most hope- ful and encouraging reports to the government-regarding the prospects of the campaign, and it is understoed that his views are shared by Lord Roberts.

By way of preparation for the great struggle, now in progress the Boers in the year of 1898 bought from France alone, guns, swords, carbines, pistols, cartridges, lead, zinc, powder, caps, AN INSTANTANEOUS CROUP CURE. {t Isn‘t the Ordinary Cough Cure,

fuses, etc., to the invoiced yalue of $386,000 according to a report to the state department from United States Consul Covert, at Lyons.

Heary Clews remarks that the British army seems to lack generalship adapted to grapple with the Boers and their mountain region fortified posi- tions, which appear to be almost im- pregnable. The Boers have shown themselves to be bold and fierce fight- ers, good rifle shooters, and possess lots of endurance, besides which they have not failed to take advantage of the interval between the Jameson raid and the present period to prepare for the emergency ; whereas, the British up to the commencement of the war simply did nothing in preparation for it, hence their present disadvantage and apparent lack of strategical generalship. Of t course there can be no doubt of the result in the end, because the British

have the money, they have the men, and they have the pluck to; but it does appear to me that the generals are not quite up to the mark. What the British will have to do, I am inclined to think, to keep their army abreast of the times, will be to take their lead- ers from the ranks and let merit have full scope. People of noble birth are not calculated to make the best com- manders on the battlefield. A major- general’s rank should be obtained by valor and merit only and should be left open to anybody to climb up to. Then a man’s full capacity becomes fully developed. It was so with Napoleon Bonaparte, Marlborough, Von Moltke and Grant, who rank in my opinion, as the greatest generals that ever lived.

George Wyndham, parliamentary secretary for the war office, replying to a question asked in the house of Com- mons said there was reason to believe ‘that many of the guns from the forts | at Pretoria had been sent to the front | and that some of them had a range of of over 10,000 yards. The British siege train sent out in December, he added, had guns of equal range.

Mr. A. C. Foster Boulton wrote to the London Times last week from 2 Pumpcourt Temple :—Captain C, A. Hensley, who was killed at Venter’s Spruit on Saturday, January 20, was a graduate of the Royal Military College at Kingston, Ontario, Canada. He was a native of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and hada reputation as a big-game hunter. By his death Canada losses a valiant son and the Empire a gallant | soldier. Captain Hensley was one of | the many other Canadians—over roo in number—who held commissions in the Imperial army. Graduates of the Royal Military College, Kingston, they are scattered over the world, and Great Britain could not wage warin any quarter of the globe without some Can- adian home having a son or a brother at the front. It should not be forgot- ten that Canadian contingent on the Modder River and the second contin- gent now on its way to South Africa are not the only contribution Canada is making to the war. There are many old Kingston boys like Hensley, some at Ladysmith, some with Methuen, and another at Kimberley, ready to give their free young northern lives inthe service of the Empireand their Queen.’

A despatch to the Times from Queenstown, Cape Colony, says: —“General Brabant, while addressing one of the regiments of the colonial division on parade yesterday, said they were leaving the next morning for the front, not to return, he hoped, until the task entrusted to him by Lord Roberts had been successfully accom- plished. He could not disclose the plan of operations, but if his intentions were carried out the greatest glutton for fighting among them would have his fill.”
