frankly that the British army was unfit
for war Nothing could be moro painful Sir
Charles went on 10 declare. than the de-
scription given of existing battalions in En-
gland by men who know the facts. There
were too many boys in them and they were
there Tor too short time. Lord I.ans-
downe had said that the evil was the total
inability OF that portion OF the army which
was at home TO support the portion abroad,
and that the present system was worked
under conditions which absolutely pre-
cluded the possibility of success.
Such a confession OF impotence as this to
which the House OF Commons listened last
night. and of which all England has read
with amaZement to-day, is well nigh incom-
prehensible. IL all that the highest authori-
ties in the British army willing to ad-
init be true. IL would explain the pusillan-
unity of Lord Salisbury in dealing with RI
months: II would explain the inaction OF
England in Turkey: IL would explain the
arbitration treaty with the United States.
IL would explain all this. and IL would
portend the continued rapid decline OF Eng
ish prestige throughout the world. IL may
be true that England could not muster
more than 5000 soldiers i'm case OF a sudden
emergency calling for the dispatch Of
large force abroad, but ii is almost incon-
ceivable that country with Englands re-
sources in men and means should not be
able to send forth a well-equipped army at
tolerably short notice, In view OF what has

The amazing frankness of such admis-

threatening condition of things existed the
government would set about the work OF
reform with extraordinary energy and
without exposing its weakness TO the world
Especially at the present time. when II is

IONS TO build themselves up by pulling
Great Britain down every effort would be-
made to conceal her fatal impotence. Such
indeed would be the policy II there existed

better known in Paris. Berlin and St

is true OF nations as of individuals that

Brandywine (B) is a comparatively new
variety. but very iuxuriant grower
healthy and quite productive. Fruit brighr

Burnett OBJ is not generally grown by
