INFERIOR ARTILLERY
The Army Impaired in Es-
sential Points on Score
of Economy.
Sir Charles W. Dike writes thus in
The London Daily hlnil:-There has
been a great discussion. and a very
natural one, in The Daily Hail in the
laet tew weekéupon our militarv prt-
-pnradozior e present war. My er-
tention s been called to the tact that
~Ul'ttern who took part in it have quoted
book °-The British A ”

written 1887-88. and some ot my
'speeches in the House ct Commons.
hve not reminded your read- _
...‘}l.‘.’.
two yearsago you asked me
hneomearticlse upon thearmy, which
yon published, and which were utter-
wnrdsrerprintedas a li.tle book. In
those s oles the that promised re-
forms wpre considered. and were treat-
ed adevidence ol proved shortcoming
in th past, but dismhed ns insuill-
eiito prevent continued deleieney

slightly lessened.
‘Hin object with which I addressed
yenr renders h 188 was te popnlnrize
_incussion upon the army, to point out
_ why the army is needed and especially
tn demonstrate the impossibility of
bringing warn to an end by the secur-
ing ot nn honorable pence, without the
existence ot an expeditionary ioree. It
was then shown to the columns ct The
Daily Hail how little we possessed "an
army lit at a sudden cell tor any el the
duties" which had been set forth.
i-‘acts Pnovrn nt 1898.
The regular army was shown to have
a smaller proportional supply of,_}i.ld
ar¢%;:ry than any other army in the
wot , and the British elector was ad-
jured to give up his preference for
enormous expenditure npon sedentary
defence and to recognize the tact that
olensive operations might easily be
essential to our national ex'stence in
many circumstances that could be (ore-
seen. Since the articles were written
and endorsed by you we have escaped
the danger ol a war with France over
tue Feehcdn question, and escaped it
through the known eiliciency ol the
British lest. The sudden and enormous
dereneive preparations ol France in

are now tally described to us h I.
