CHAMPION, the Brltlsn MlnlsJer WnaJ
could British soldiers alone have done
against Russia in the Crimean war? The
weakness of England as q military power is
a penalty she pays for her industrial organ
ization. She has population large enough
to supply the materials for great
armies, but she cannot use it for that pur-
pose. manufacturing population like
hers, never exposed to outdoor hardships,
would merely cucumber the hospitals if sent
to distant and unhealthy lands. But there
is stronger reason why she cannot furnish
a large number of soldiers She has such
vast amounts of capital invested in machin-
cry, which would be worthless without
hands to work it, that she cannot spare her
laborers without sapping the foundations of
her prosperity. However we may account
for it, the fact stands out in incontestible
distinctness that England has never in re-
cent times been able to win military success
against any strong civilized nation by the
unassisted exertions of British soldiers. If
she takes the hazard of fighting Russia
without any other ally than tho Turks she is
Crimean war she had France and Sardinia
as allies, and the result of their joint efforts
was merely to capture one fortress on the
outskirts of the Russian Empire. They
could not have done even this If Russia had
had railroads in the southern part of her
territory, which would have enabled
her to pour down her resources
