Ths English Army.

In the 40 years that elapsed between
the battle of Waterloo and the fighting
in the Crimea the British army attain
ed a maximum of inefficiency. 1t is
only now, when the chief actors in the
great drama of the struggle with Russia
are dead, that the public is beginning
to learn the extent of the incapacity and
inefficiency of the men responsible for
the equipment and training of the Brit
ish army. But for the courage of the
British private the Crimean campaign
would have been disastrous failure
Indeed but for the accident Of fog on
the morning of the battle of Inkerman,
which enabled a handful of British
troops to impress 40, 600 Russian sol
diers with the idea that they We're more
numerous and better supported than
they really were. the English army
would have been driven into the Black
sea and the subsequent history of Eu-
rope altered beyond reccgnition.-Lo
