English military authorities arc try
ing to figure out how 1t is that Great
Britain has been defeated repeatedly
In the efforts Of her troops TO dlslodgo
the Bocrs. Ono of the highest officers
IN the British army says:
'HIc combination OF the magazine
rifle, with defensive lines, has revolu-
tionlzed the whole practice of warfare
rs much as did the invention of gun
powder or the appearance of Napoleon.
II has long been suspected that the
iusi great European struggle would
prove this, but nobody was quite pre-.
pared Tor the development on the side
of tho Beers tho most advanced CONT
mental science. Butler aud Methueu
have been faced by Bocr lines 90 and
30 miles long. The field of Waterloo
would be n mere pocket upon such
spaces, aud this mems that bnyonct
assaults and cavalry charges caunot
now lie delivered quick enough to tell
Tho officer adds that England's only
hope of coping successfully with the
Beers Hes In the force of strategy ami
superior numbers. England will do
her best to place the superior numbers
IN the field, but the strategy well.
England has already drawn upon the
best talent IN her realm without inak-
Ing remarkable showing in contrast
with the Beers.

is pleasing speaker and witty enough
to keep his audience in good humor
Throughout. The lecture proper was
preceded by number OF musical fea-
lures, including sword drill under the
direction OF Mrs. Clark, in which all
showed themselves as being capable
artists.
