opportunities for retrieving his SOME
what damaged reputation.
The British army is vastly more
formidable force in South Africa TO-DAY
than it was at the beginning Of the
war. nor is II wholly due to increase OF
numbers. The relentless school OF war
has done away with dress parade
methods. and brought officers and men
10 a practical appreciation of the task
before them, and the fighting QUALITIES
Of the enemy. There has been Won
derful Improvement in tactics. Officers
and men have learned that efficiency
does not consist in reckless exposure,
neither Is it necessary, in order to es-
tablish reputation for courage, that a
man should needlessly make target
for himself. The world will never
question the courage Of the British
soldier That is everywhere conceded
Now that he has adapted himself to
the conditions existing in South Africa
and has learned how to make practl-
cal application OF the valuable lessons
learned from the Beers, his effective
ness has increased a hundred fold
Undoubtedly the British army was
largely handicapped at the outset By
incompetent officers-men who owed
their commissions more to social
~ an
leadership. Lord Roberts is doing
much to remedy this by making pro-
motions solely upon the ground of
capacity and merit as demonstrated in
the face of the enemy. AS a result the
English army is gaining in its morale
every month that the war continues.
Not only this. but it is being constant
" supplied with better equipment and
ordnance. The great forward move
ment towards Pretoria is now under
way 1t is an advance that the Beers
will stoutly and stubbornly resist.
There will be many bloody battles III
not all of which the British forces can
nope to be successful but we need not
look for the reverses that character
lied the earlier days of the struggle.
There can be little doubt as to the final
outcome of the war. 1t may drag
along for months and possibly years;
but finally the British forces will
triumph. When this is accomplished,
England will have at her command
veteran army, the best differed, the
best equipped and the most efficient in
her whole history.
