ShranneIXs. Bullets.

The London Daily Telegraph prints an
interview with British artillery officer
in south Africa, in which forecast Of
possible British tactics is given. He IS
reported to have said:
1.-The Beers have talked so much about
their rife practice that the war office
has sensibly decided that in this cam
paign the rifle will be out of 1t. The adj
canoe will be under a paralyzing shell
fire from line several miles long, and
at an average distance of a mile and a
half, which is perfect for artillery but
impossible for rife fire. The Beers sole
idea of ghting is lying quietly and calmly
behind a kopje and taking slow and de-
liberate aim. He has never known what
it is TO have to lie quietly while COM
rades are being smashed around him by
a deadly hail Of bullets falling from the
sky. His idea of artillery is something
that comes straight at him, like a rife
bullet, and can be lodged by getting be-
hind a big stone. 1t will come as rev.
citation to him to find bullets falling from
above into valleys and krantzes hundreds
of yards behind killing his horses and
picking off men lying like ant bears in
their holes. The result will be a panic
The well disciplined troops of Europe
cannot resist it. Meanwhile the cavalry
will be stealing up, taking advantage OF
every bit of cover, and followed by the
infantry. Under a shell fire, such as
have described, cavalry can advance &c
within 100 yards Of the point of attack.
which they quietly flank. Then, at a
signal, a terrible final volley of shrapnel
is poured in, the order to charge is given,
and before they know 1t the Beers will be
among the sabers and lances, with the
bayonets of the infantry just behind To
talk Of men lying calmly and coolly
shooting under these conditions IS nom
sense. Half their horses will have been
killed by the fire, and what is the good
Of the Boer on the veldt without his
horse? The BOer artillery viii be the first
object Of attack. and before il has been
in action an hour half the guns viii be
either disabled or deserted. for I am told
they have a poor idea of artillery. The
whole theory Of this plan Of attack IS 10
render the rife and long-range marks
manship useless With the number OF
troops at the disposal Of the British the
Beers will be surrounded and forced into
the open, where they viii be cut TO pieces
Personally I am convinced that thous-
snds Of Beers will not get bullet home
they won't have the chance"
The weakness Of this forecast Is. OF
course, that II presuppOses = set battle

an artillery line a mile and a half long.
Battles have knack Of happening upon
al sorts Of ground. The appalling effect
OF the fire OF heavy battery IS. however,
