Writing, in which ho says he commanded

the “damndest lot of rsscals and vaga- honds unhung" ot \Vaterloo. In the famous Creevy papers there is evidence that Wellington did not think the British soldier would have fought so well had not he (Llxc Duke) commanded him. Tho conversation between Wellington and Crecvy the morning after W sierloo con tsins this:- ~ »

since thc time of William tha Conqneroxq France has on occasion sent a quota oi' troops/ to nid rebellion in Ireland, but never Vhas on out and out French army landed on Iiritish soil to battle with a united British people.

lt was the great orator, Daniel Web-

llltr, who pointed out in one of his elo- quent periods that the drum heat of Great Britain circled the globe and that the sua never set on British dominion. Haen't this special significance with respect to prestige? All over the earth the Briton has spread himself mast liberally and always through force of arms. No other nation bus carried its ting farther and more variously to per- manent possession. It has taken power, courage and oft tried endurance te mise her banner where it flies. When the dye*-iilhts on the British Jack tht-ro‘s a picture ot prowess and prestige formed at once. Perhaps the picture il _much more vivid than actual accom- plishment warrants, but tho picture is. there.Q'1‘hls prmtigo cannot be stand-

ardized with respect to its sure effect.

Great Brit|in's soldier has travelled hodsands of miles to fight, conquer and perhzinently possess. Other nations have lent their fighting men as far, but after li generation of warfare has been checked up lt will he found that she holds the most, if nm? ali, of what she .fought for. In the msrnitude and varlacy ot; mili- tary operations of which he has been the Mil in( agent there is no soldier on hllgvfte be compared with the bnttier
