ARMY TRANSPORTATION.

Captain Zalinski, a retired ofiicer of the United States army has contributed to

Harper's \Veekly an instructive' article showing the immense difficulties which beset the British war operations in South

Africa in regard to lines of commu-I nication and transport. He shows that- owing to the nature of the country and the entire absence of formed roads across

the interior the dilficulties are vastly greater than in any Europeanor American country. The distances are vast, and the numbers of transport animals required to

movea given weight across country are at least double what were required by the northern armies in the Civil iVur or by t.he Germans in the Franco~German war.

Yet even under ordinary conditi0ns thc

problem of army transportation is a serious one. Each man requires three andahalf pounds of food per day. Each animal would require twenty pounds of food where grazing is not abundant. An army of 150,000 men would require 50,(Xl0 animals for transportation of artillery, camp equipment, ammunition, food, hospital and medical equipment. There should be 30,000 cavalry and mounted infantry in an army of l50,lI)0. There should be 10,000 animals available to supply losses. This makes a total of 90,0(Ila.nimals, and 150,000 men tobe fed.

The men would require 525,000 pounds and the animals 1,800,000 pounds of food daily,atotal of 2,325,000 pounds. This would makea total of 1,162 tons of food.

Besides the food an average of 100 tons of clothing. ammunition and other supplies would be required, which would bring the daily aggregate up to 1.262 tons. A six horse waggon will carry about one ton across the veldt.

Of course, there are the railways, but

they are of narrow gauge, with high

gra.des,insufl‘icicntly equipped with rolling stock, and only recently available for through traffic from the sezlports to Bloemfontein. They passed through a country filled withn hostile population and must be guarded throughout their

entire length. Captain Zalinski says that estimating on the basis of

the number of men required by General Sherman to guard his railway communications in 1864 during' his in 'rasion of the South-90 men pcr mile- Lord Roberts would require nearly

'100,000men for this purpose on the lines between Bloemfontein aad the sea and

between Ladysmith and the sea. This gives usa. glimpse of the number of men required outside of those who iight the battles.

Of course Lord Roberts’ army engaged

in the actual advance toPretoria is buts

portion of the total British force in South Africa. But as he moves _forward the railway,is entirely unavailable for the forward movement and the transport

service is wholly moved by animal power. It requires not fewer than 5800 wagons and 34,800 animals. These would under ordinary conditions fill 61 miles of road, or a distance of nearly tive days’ march

from rear-to front at the rate which tran-

sports move across a. rough country. There is little wonder that sometimes a slow-

moving supply convoy should fall into the hands of an alert and mobile enemy such

as the Boers_have shown themselves to be.

This glimpse at the transport service may help the lay reader to realize that there is much else to do besides fighting

in theconduct of a military campaign.

'lhere is something extremely English ln the story of Sir Charles \Vm1en "doing trlmbles,” as Bouncer expressed lt, inthe ‘ open nlr on the battlefield of Vaal Kranl. Sir Charles, under no circumstances. lntermlts his morning hat-ii. Ou tim occasion of Buller°s last edbrt to relleie Ladysmlth,Slr Charles found it impossible _ to leave his post,so when the day broke on the battlefield he ordered his servant to bring his bath with sponge and towehand there and then, ln the open” air. Sir, Charles Warren, commanding the Fifth Division, proceeded to take his bath, subllmely indifferent to the tire of the enemy. The enemy were, perhaps, too much astonished at the British eoentrloity of bathing at all, much more of bathing ln this extremely public fashion, to attempt any violent interruption.

An amusing point of the story is that

Sir Redvers Bullcr. anxious toconfer with Warren, choose that identical moment to send his orderly to tell him so. It was,of course, absolutely impossible for Sir Clmrl.-s to move, und Bullet had torlde

the two Generals conversed on matters ol grave importance -the one on horseback. and the other in his tub

Because Sir George White has made a very commonplace remark as to the pol-1 itical situation in Natal he has fallen un- der thc lash ofthe London “Emplt'e,’ which reads him a lecture concluding with the assurance that generals should be men of action, “leaving frothy oratory to poll- ticlans and lawyers." And the Citizen adds its opinion to that quoted and. re- marks that our own Canadian experience should “teach soldiers to leave the talking to politicians." It may. however, seem to a. great many that the doctrine is a mis- chievous one. The talking is left too mu h to the “politicia.ns," with most mischiev-
