Those British Grenadier..


This trouble with the British army
seems to be chronic. A few years ago
there was great jubilation raised over
the abolition by royal order of the pur-
chase of commissions, and it was sup
posed that this abolition would have the
ELECT of injecting into the army greater
proportion of officers who dimly knew
the rudiments of their business. It is
possible that this has been the effect upon
the line of the British army, though we
shall have to wait for another war to see
whether that army is not as incompe-
tently differed as it was in 1851. AT any
rate, it seems that the "household regt-
ments" are as ill off as ever. OF these
petted and pampered corps the Grenadier
Guards is one. The household troops are
the last fastness of the British aristoeracy.
1t is not that the aristocratic element is
necessarily in fault. The Prussian army
is now as aristocratic as the British army
is or ever was. But in Prussia there goes
along with the demand for the privileges
of an aristocracy an effective demand that
the aristocrat shall know his business,
and, as matter of fact, he does know it.
The present Emperor of Germany is
thorough professional soldier, because the
motto ''Noblesse oblige" has never been
forgotten in Prussia and nobility there is
not an excuse but an incentive. In Eng
land, on the other hand, nobility is held
to be an excuse for all mental deficiencies
and moral delinquencies. AS in civil life
nobleman may be great blackguard
without suffering the ordinary penalties
of blackguardism so in military life he
may be AN absolute incompetent without
suffering the ordinary penalties of incom
potency
The whole story of the latest revolt in
the Grenadier Guards is told in the ex-
PLANTATION that drills were ordered "solely
for the convenience of the officers, who
are enabled to leave London, to go to the
country, to travel on the Continent, to en-
JOY yachting and fishing excursions,
hunting trips and other reCreations while
the privates and non-commissioned Off
GERS remain in London and are subjected
to excessive, tedious drills, under the
supervision of the few less lucky or
poorer officers who cannot avail them
selves of luxurious outings The moral
Of the story is that the British Army is in
urgent need of reorganization, and, un-
doubtedly, the first step to an effective re-
organization would be the displacement
of that remarkable specimen of the Brit
ish aristocracy, the Duke of Cambridge,
as Its Commanderin-C Chief.
