SHOWS, rains, thaws or blows, he forthwith makes

followed up by accounts Of missovernment, suffering,
starvation and death among his troops piteous as
to move us, remote from the sympathes of
the scene.
Raglan is Of those mere courtier Generals who
get their position by watching how the wind
blows and whose principal duty Of late years has
been to watch the vane the London Home Guards.
