BRITISH ARMY WEAKNESS.

: 5 i £

———

The following is a London despatch relevant to the recent British army manceuvres and Lord Wolseley’s criti- cisms :

General Montgomery Moore, com- mander at Aldershot, and a soldier of very mediocre reputation, having been severely criticised for his work at a big field day, Lord Wolseley ordered another held in his presence; and never

given in South Africa been more fully demonstrated, The Times’ comments are a conservative expression of what every thinking Englishman is saying in far more forcible terms. The follow- ing passages are typical of the whole long editorial :

“The plan of the exercise was one of rear guard actions, which has be- come familiar during the war. The forcejinjretreat was tojendeavor,to delay the pursuing enemy as much as pos- sible. Our military correspondent spoke sarcastically of the scheme as ‘a gentlemanly scheme with no nasty Boer slimness about it.’ Even so, there was left room for good fighting or bad fighting. The troops and leaders seem to have been chosen for the latter. They appeared to have bungled the whole business and cer- tainly acquitted themselves so as to re- ceive from the Commander-in-Chief the most humiliating censure that has befallen a British |division for many a day. The country would do well to pay close attention,to this little affair, | for the faults it revealed may very soon | prove, if unarrested, disastrous. Nor would any good purpose®be served by hushing up the matter, for we may well be assured that it is already known to all the general staff in Europe.

“The melancholy discovery the country is now making on the author- ity of the Commander-in-Chief is that there are officers and men who cannot go through a field day and an ordinary sham fight without committing a series of elementary blunders of the worst possible type. Nothing else could have led Lord Wolseley, in addressing the assembled officers, to declare that not again under any circumstances were large operations to be tried until the brigade work and company work were much more thoroughly known. ‘They must learn to walk before :hey try to run.’ It will be observed that this censure was not directed primarily against the men, but against the offi- cers, who were explicitly told by the Commander-in-Chief that they did not know the grammar of their work. The men are probably good material, Eng- lish troops generally are, as has, been proved over and over again in South Africa, but they seem to be quite un- trained.”

The Times concludes with the ques- tion of how this can be changed, and suggests that the constitution of the army should be changed so that clever- er youths should regard it as a natural career.

As regards Lord Wolseley’s scathing remarks, while they meet with univer- sal approval, they may be criticisec from two points. Firstly, toward the end of this five-year service as Com- mander-in-Chief the condition of af fairs at Aidershot should be sucl: that his criticism should not be needed; and, secondly, an unprofessional spirit was shown in concluding his well deserved rebuke,withan apology in hop ing that the officers would take his re- mark ina proper spirit.

the killing of American soldiers in | china and in the Philippines. In the battles at Tien Tsin American regi- ments lost heavily in officers and men, yet not a thrill of horror was noted when the casualty lists were published. Reports of the slaughter of thousands of Chinese Christians and the mas- sacre of white missionaries are received with almost stoical spathy, and the most minute descriptions of the atro- cities practiced by the Boxers fail to evoke vivid pictures in the mind of the reader.

A little more than two years ago the American people were keenly sensi- tive to the impression of the horrors of warfare, and were effected deeply and visibly by the actual happening of what they knew must happen, and were in a measure prepared to look upon as inevitable incidents. When an ensign was killed by a Spanish shell in the first naval skirmish of the war

the whole country was shocked and grieved. It was the shock of realiza-

came the grievous picture of Ensign Bagley’s torn body lying upon tae deck, and sympathetic sorrow for the despairing woe of those to whom he was dear clutched every heart.

The American people, except those old enough to retain vivid recellections of the civil war, did not know what war meant when they demanded ven- geance upon the destroyers of the Maine. They knew, of course, that soldiers would be killed and wounded,

the daily papers, and to the readers they are mere statistics. The names of the victims are hardly noticed except by their friends at home, and even the death of an eminent officer claims but a passing moment's attention. For eighteen months American soldiers have been killing and getting killed in the Phillippines, and the casualty re- ports that have dribbed daily through the press have mounted to a total that would have been appalling in the early days of the Spanish war.

More than twice as many soldiers have been killed and wounded in the Phillipines as were lost in action in Cuba, Rorto Rico and Luzon in the war with Spain. Inthe Spanish war the total loss in action was 254 killed and 1,640 wounded, of the latter 125 died. Inthe Phillipine war the loss up to August 1, 1900, was 533 killed, 2,073 wounded and 193 deaths from wounds. Disease was more destructive in the Spanish war because of the un- sanitary conditions of camps in the United States, the deaths from disease footing up 5,277. Inthe Philipines

ROBERTS’ PROCLAMATION.

To every mind|and public opinion has been urging

that more severe measures should be taken. The effect of the commander- in-chief’s proclamation will be that all those who have net taken the oath of allegiance to Queen Victoria may be treated as prisoners of war and remov- ed from the country. Itis undoubt- edly unprecedented to regard the civilian population of an invading ter- ritory,even when unarmed, as if they were the enemy’s troops, but it is maintained that in fact the Transvaal

Even the Opposition journals which dislike the war do not for the most part object to these drastic meas- sures, pointing out that in the interest of the Boers themselves, as well as of the British, it is necessary that the campaign should be brought to a con- clusion and the burghers taught the futility of resistance. It is admitted, however, that the adoption of this policy must intensify the savage and bitter character which the struggle has now assumed and that the immediate effect is likely to be a considerable ac-i cession of numbers fto the forces o DeWet and other Boercommanders in the field.
