AN EXAMPLE FOR MILITARY MEN.-ln
1903, the Duke of Wellington was placed
in command of the important British ex-
petition destined to operate in the PENN
sular. He had made all his preparations
with the foresight and thoroughness char
acteristic of the man and the expedition
had actually sailed, when the Ministry de-
ternined to supersede him in the COM
mand. In very laconic note, assigning
no reasons for the change, Viscount Cas-
tlereagh, Secretary of State, informed the
Duke (then Sir Arthur Wellesley that the
command of the troops had been assigned
to Sir Hugh Dalrymple, with Sir Harry
Burrard second in command. By this OPP
Grafton, Sir Authur's sphere Of command
was suddenly diminished from an army to
brigade while in the very act of prepar-
ing to meet the enemy. An ordinary SOL
der would at once have thrown up his COM
mission in disgust. Though deeply NOR
titled, no doubt, he sacrificed all personal
considerations to patriotism and principle,
and in letter, written soon after, said -
81 shall do my best to ensure the success
of the army; and you may depend on 1t
that shall not hurry the operations, or
commence them one mOmenC SOOneT tudu
they ought to be commenced, in order that
| may acquire the credit Of the success
The government will determine for me in
what way they will employ me hereafter,
either here or elsewhere" When asked
by familiar friend how he, who had COM
manded armies of forty thousand men, who
had received the thanks of Parliament for
Lis victories, and been elected Knight of
the Bath, could submit to be reduced to
the command of brigade of infantry I?
For this reason" was the reply, " am
nimukwallah, as we say in the East; [
have ate of the Kings salt, and therefore
consider it to be my duty to serve with
zeal and promptitude when or wherever
the King or his government may think
proper to employ me-"
A great military principle is here en-
forced by great military man, not only
by precept but example. Oticerswho de-
cline to serve their country in capacity
which they consider inferior to1tneir mer-
its, may study with advantage this page in
the history of Wellington.--Richmond
