Whites campaign in Natal, at the battle
OF Talana hill, when Symons carried the
Boer position at the cost of his life, the
field batteries gallantly advanced and ST.
fenced the enemy's guns before the in
fantry attack was delivered. They did
the same at Glands laagte, and in the
last encounter before the investment of
Ladysmith, IL was the FIRE of the field

and other long-range guns of the enemy.
The fault Is with those who exposed them
TO meet guns of superior caliber by not
providing a better class. Again at the
Modder river two batteries, the Eigh-
teenth and Seventy-third. did magnificent
work. and by their murderous fire obliged
the enemy to evacuate their position be-
hind the river; and at storfberg, when
Gatacre fell into his terrible trap, his
force would have been annhilated but
for the self-sacrhcing efforts of the artil-
lery to cover the retreat.
The last word has not been spoken OF
the supreme uses OF artillery in this pres
ent struggle. Now somewhat late In the
day the howitzer batteries which are the
latest development OF field guns, have
been brought into play, with their devas-
tating lyddte shells. the form OF high

they can be depended upon to compare
better with the Boer artillery than any
thing yet used. Finally the siege train,
made up of 6-ineh howitzers and al quick

that perhaps still remote siege OF Pretoria.
