patriotism. He lohoved timt he could
make him fight and that he would flabt
hard. Wellington heliored in flogging
in the army and many u British prince
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-
