GOOD OUT OF EVIL.

The first practtcal sons of the Boer war on British Army trarning has just appeared in a circulsr letter addressed by Sir Power Palmer, the acting Commander-in-Chief in In. dia, to the commander of the four military divisions inte which India is divided. Three schemes for tactical training are proposed in the ciroular, and the Licutenant-Generals com- manding are left te make their choice of these.

Recent events im South Africa have shown ina striking manner the value of cavalry in a reconnaissance on a broad front, the enormous im portance to columns of having the country thor oughly reconnoited in adwance, and the disastrous results of troops com- ing under breech-loading fire where such reconnaissance has net been thor- oughly carried out. The intelligent use of cavalry especially in recon- noitring is, uader present conditions, 2 more proneunced factor of success than ever.

longer possible, and troops coming within. 2,00¢ yards of infantry must suffer heavily in any close formation.

The main lessons «avhich Sir Power Palmer thieks. are:to be drawn from the Boer war are laideaown in fourteen paragraphs whick seem important to reproduce. ‘They .ase:

First—The great awvalue of entrenah- ment; the change in their character, which will be introduced, and in the accepted wiews.as regards the position in which they wall ibe placed.

Second—The enermous distanc2, up 2,500 yards, at which long range rifle fire can be used with effect, especially against maasses.

Third—The power of acting on the defensive on a broader front than heretofore recognized, owing to the.con- taining power of the magazine rifle and the great importance of this to thede- fence.

Fourth—The amportanee of great mobility on the part of the defence, so that a comparatively small force can

be rapidly moved to threatened points. This necessitates high physical training or the use of mounted intantry when available.

Fifth—The impessibility of success- tully carrying our -frcntal attacks on anything like open ground unless the defenders have been drawn off or.weak- ened by flank attacks.

Sixth—Tae difficulty of locating the enemy’s fire and .consequently of re- plying toi, due toiong range and smokeless pewder, 2nd the well-seleat- ed position of intrenchments. Seventh—The necessary of a longer preparatory artillery fire. This is not always recognized in peace mancu- vres; and that artillery fire is required at much longer ra2ges than heretotore: accepted. Eighth—The great value of inde pendent fire at all ranges as compar ed with volleys, and the importance uo: individual marksmanship.

Ninth— Tne importance of intrench ments on the offensive on positions won (e. g., Spion Kop) as a base tor further advance.

Tenth—The great difficulty of re connoitring the enemy’s position be-

fore committing troops to the attack,

and consequently (given plenty of am-

munition} the difficulty of estimating the strength of the defence, as maga-

zine rifles and long-range fire.

Twelfth—The necessity in the teach» ing officers and nom-commissioned officers the value of cover, and not to expose themselves as they do, espe- cially on the sky line in hill warfare

Thirteenth--The necessity in the cav alry and artillery for learning to spare there horses as much as possible; this- is especially applicable to cavalry at manceuvres, when every man should dismount, if halted for even a few

minutes; and occasionally horses should be led,

Fourteenth—That no real success, but only temporary checks, can be ob- tained without counter-attacks and the following up successes; this was con- sprcuously absent on the Boer side.

The general experience gained Proves that far from laying down any special system of tactics for general use, it is absolutely necessary to adapt organization and tactics to those of the enemy. Sir Power Palmer then makes a reflection which any knowing the British army will appreciate. It is that the responsible authctitics ‘are very prene to run into extremes and copy teo servilely or change tactics

‘cal point of view, a defeat which would Where formerly troops! could appreach to within 1,000 or 2,-! ooo yards of infantry fire and extricate: themselves with trifling loss, this is ne :

after eech war, small er great.” It would, he says, be in the highest de- gree dangerous to induce any special system ofinfantry tactics from Boer war beyond the fact that looser formations are imperative, and light infantry and skirmishing training a sine qua‘non against the ‘magazine rifle. Phe rest of the circular is an enlarge ment on the pointsenumerated, which are sO succinct that even the non-pro- fessional reader can understand them, while the professional reader will seize their meaning and ‘significance at once. The admissions they tacitly make are practically an acknowledg- ment of British defeat from the techni-

‘bave been materially complete had the Boer been in anything like equal numbers with the British, and been able to throw large bodies of treops on the decimated and broken British battalions insuch affairs as Colenso, Spion Kop, Vaal Krantz, Magersfon- tein and ekewhere. But the most important dedaction is in that para- graph in which the value of individual marksmanskip and independent firing is dwelt upon. It may be said to sum up the whole question—it is on the intelligent and training of the indi- vidual soldier that the valwe of an army depends.

A PROBABLE REAZON.

People are watching with no little interest the clever manoeuvres of De Wet, and asking how it is that, though surroundeé:so often, he has always managed te break through the cordons which have been reported to be so tightly drawn round him and elude capture.

But listen to the talk of officers of experience and they will tell you it is not at all surprising that De Wet, al- though so frequently surrounded by the British generals, manages to make good his escape.

Neither his slipperiness, his slim- ness, nor the night mauches, to all of which his success has been attributed, can accouut for it.

It is simply because the Boers ride ‘ght and the British ride heavy. Eng- lish horses cannot go either fast or far carrying the regulation load as it now is. To overtake the flyinz, unencumber ed Boer, except by a fluke, is out of. the question.

THE DA{L{ EXAMINEK’ CHARLOTTETOWN AUGUS 31,

of which Major O’Brien is president, has tried 272 cases since last June. fourteen ofthese were for murder, eight for criminal assault and forty- nine fo: concealment of arms. In the _case Ofa Kaffir, convicted of assault- 'inga Boer woman, the death sentence /was pronounced. Lord Roberts con- | firmed the sentence and the man was shot.

A former Zarp (policeman) who was found guilty of breaking his oath of neutrality in collecting parties of burghers, and leading them outside the military lines, where they could join Boer commandos, was sentenced to seven years imprisonment. Another charge aginst him was that he turnish- ed the Boer commandos with pro- visions. The military court is rigidly erforcing the law, and the sentences imposed are very severe. One good (fect of this is that the ili i liquor trade has been almost entirely ex- tinguished.

SNIPING.

‘‘Smiping” ts the favorite pastime of the uncivilized fighter. The Afghan likes it, the hillman likes it—of that the Tirah campaign was proof—and

the low-class Boer likes it; but the better-class Boers does not. When

Piet de Wet visited General Paget at Lindley, an officer forming part of his escort through the lines pointed out that it was a-barbarous adjunct to the hostilities.and did not affect the is- sue, the only result being that some luckless individual was killed or wounded, and that brought reprisals, De Wet admitted that the practice was wrong, but threw the responsibility for it on his young bloods, whom it was @ifficult tokeep in hand. There were three days of freedom from “sniping,” butit was then resumed. All things considered, our men _ have done.admirably with the new type of fighting which has been forced oa them. It is asemibarbarous warfare to which nowadays few armies are accustomed. It reminds the students of history of Braddozk’s disastrous campaign; of the struggle in the Wilderness with its terrible cost of hte; of the ambushes of the franc tireurs, and of the savage reprisals

desire for vengeance. It even throws light on Spain’s sttruggle in Cuba with the insurgents, whose field of action was, however, relatively limited. No wonder the Canadians and Australians have up to date shone best in this type of warfare. Their life and sur- roundings to some extent fit them for it. But surely the thought of pitting the untrained town hand, fired though he be by disregard of death, fidelity to duty, and pipeclay military methods, against a foe who holds perhaps in the entire world the record for tact, skill, and.dext=rity, is enough to inspire initial uneasiness,—National Review:
