THE SPECTATOR ON A COUPLE
PAPERS IN ENGLISH REVIEWS.

Every one? should read the anonymous
paper in the Fortnightly on what we could
have done for France or Belgium, if only
to see all that can be said on the weakness
of this country for operations on the Con-
tinent. The writer believes that Great
Britain could accomplish nothing in the
field from want of numbers, forgetting, we
think, what a spear-head o British corps
d'drn6e would make to any Continental
amy, except perhaps the German and
that the only fertilization we could hope
to defend effectually would be Antwerp,
and even there we should be beaten -
1.-THE French once wholly or nearly
crushed, Germany could take it's own
line as to Belgium. Her Generals would
be too wise to break their mems heads
against the works of Antwerp, occupied
by a hundred thousand soldiers at least,
nearly half of them English. They would
simply occupy the whole kingdom up to
within gunshot of the fortress; dispose the
chief part of the force thus used SO as to
check any sudden issue from it and then
trust to the sure effects of time, and live
on the country"
That is Just what we should question.
Fifty thousand EngIishmen in a fortress
like Antwerp, with the sea for a base,
would, if we read our history Alright, COM
pei either Germany or France to make an
effort for it's capture, which, within twelve
months, would overstrain either State, and
enable every enemy it possesses, assisted
by English money, to bring their armies
into the field. That we ought to be able
to do much more than this. is true, but this
is not nothing.
BIack1uood has a remarkable paper head
ed, " France and Germany" and evident
ly written by o man who thoroughly
understands the military condition of
France, but is not unwilling to lend her
rulers a little help in difusing the impress
sion that France is powerless. HIS state"
ment is that the immense military credits
taken since 1871 have been spent secretly
on military materieL,-cannon, rifles, and
Notifications that the regiments have
been systematically thinned to save
money that the territorial army exists
only on paper and that France has not,
outside Algeria, 200, 900 soldiers on active
duty. She is, in fact, powerless, or at
best only a second-rate power. That this
statement is in the main true, we believe;
but then it is also true that the replacing
of war ~nsat6riel is far advanced, that the
cadres are exceedingly numerous, arr that
France, outside her army, must contain at
least 100000 thoroughly drilled men,
everv one of whom would be in the ranks
at a fortnight's notice. The Germans, if
thew invaded, with their wonderful mobi-
lity, would probably reach Paris, but
whether they would a second time compel
it to capitulate is a different pattet.

DOu't heed rumors about candidates !
A False Charge.

"A Eaisc Char2e.
The Argus of Saturday abored to make its
readers believe that the Board of Aldermen
were guilty of needless delay in adding the
names of voters to the lists at the late ses-
sicns. We are confident that like all Argus
charges before election, this one is utterly with
out foundation. In the case of the ex amina-
ton of a claimant to the right to vote, requir-
ing the attention of the whole Board, cannot it
be more promptly disposed of when the room
is quiet so that all can give attention, than
when seventy five or double that number are
crowding up and shouting to have their several
cases attended to? Would the Argus have the
name of every man placed upon the list at his
request, without any testimony being required?
Seven-eighths of the cases considered were in
three wards, and one half of these names did
not appear in the wards in any list taken Dec.
1. In two of these, the officials were employed
all the time in consulting the ward lists and
returns. The last day six men were admitted
at one time, and with these there was frequent
" so much importantly that double the num-
Der could be attended to if only a single man
was admitted. Democratic candidates and
ward committees were freely admitted at their
for the interest of the Republicans to have had
the room full of men, each demanding to be
heard, all at one time.
The fact that one man, with papers, con-
fessed that he lived in Cape Elizabeth and
that another, who got mixed while under oath,
went away with his papers, is proof that the
Aldermen were not too careful. Ind cod, if
there is any fault to be found, it is that they
were too ready to accept statements of men
they did not know and who, with their witt
nesses when they had them, they could not
identify.
1t has been ascertained from outside parties
that at least three men who swore to q resi-
dence here and had naturalization papers, have
not been here month.
The Argus can howl about this matter, but
| it is against fact and sense.
