|ENGL AND'S VOLUNTEERS
FACE THE REALITY OF WAR.
Men Lost in South Africa Replaced by Citizen Soder-The
Militia. the Reservsts and the Yeomanry.

80 OR the first time in their history
the English volunteers have been
called upon to fight for their coun-
try, and the fact shows how serf-
~ Gus the war has become. Eng
and has had her fighting done for
"a many years by men whose regu-
~ business 1t was to attend to such
matters without disturbing the rest of

n other words, out OF the seventy odd
thousand British troops on the field. prac-
tically one in ten had been shot by the
time Butler had counted the cost Of his
reverse.
Everyone In the United States knew
something about the American National
Guard by the time the Spanish war was
begun, and the questions doubtless are be-
ins asked now: do these English vol
unteers correspond exactly to our Ma
tional Guardsmen? And. II SO. what are
the militia, the reservists and the yeo-
nanny? How do they compare with the
American National Guard. and what is
the significance of the call to them from
the war Office, which heretofore has paid
no attention when they asked to be sent
10 the front? Are they paper soldiers,
or can they fight? VIII they be sent

tents. and that no change whatever had
taken place under Lord Transformers ad-
ministration, so far as the volunteers were
concerned On the other hand, people
who have no particular interest In the
volunteers say that their being permitted
to take part in the war at this time Is
direct insult to theamilitia.
They Rushed to Enlist.
At any rate, 1t can never be said that
the volunteers, to whom that chance WAS
given. were slow to accept 1t, as a score or
more of commanding officers throughout
London and the provinces, who are be-
ing harassed to desperation by every in
diyiduaI member Of their commands. can
testify Men have almost taken to figur-
ing on their chances of going with paper
and pencil For instance, l have heard
volunteers say: There are 1000 men in
my battalion, and there will be 10 chosen;
that gives me about one chance in ten.
Then my record for craftsmanship Is so
many points, and craftsmanship Is going
to be the deciding test and the general
average Is about SO much," etc. When the
fortunate 110-"fortunate' Is the volun-
teers' word--are told off there Is going to
be actual bitterness.
With about all the regulars who can be
spared from Great Britain and India at
the scene of action or on the way there:
with all the reserves ordered out, the mil
tia expecting to be called upon any min
ute. and request for the services of vol
unteers and yeomanry, a good many peo-
pie, among them the not overcourteous
critics on the continent, are beginning to
ask, How long can England keep up this
sort of thing? There are 100000 enlisted
volunteers, to be sure, but how many ac-
tual fighting men does that mean? II
worse comes to worst, what will the war
office be able to do?
When asked this question, an army
officer whose name cannot be given, but
who is in position which makes hts
opinion valuable, said:
II should say that after this batch Of
1000 men goes 100000 more can be raised
without any trouble whatever. The time
1t would take to get them together would
be the only thing that would count. This
call for 1000 means applications from TO-
900 in the volunteer regiments alone. After
that you must reckon on the men who
have been in the volunteer forces and re-
signed for various reasons, and also on a
perfect army of sharpshooters that are
not now in the service. We can raise a
good many men out of our 35000.000. And
then come the colonies. I should say 1O0-
900 more men, with comparative ease"-

Limit of Tool Making.

Broadly speaking. 1t is conceivable that
in some special production tool-making
may be carried to point where no farth-
er profitable advance can be made, and it
is also conceivable that there may he
things useful and desirable to the few,
which cannot by Improvement Of quality
and lowering of cost be made useful and
desirable to the many. Speaking narrow
ly from existing facts and conditions it
seems probable that the limit Of tool-mak-
ing has never been reached in any particu-

A LFRED c. HARMSWORTH, the
n proprietor Of the London Daily Mail,
who has published the most sensa-
tional stories concerning the Boer war,
has forged his way from a penniless news
paper writer to that of a newspaper pro-
prietor worth s20,OOO00O. Although he is
only "a years DID, he is the largest jour-
nalist proprietor and publisher In Great
Britain. When he was 16 he refused to go
to college and accepted small Job" with
the Illustrated London News. In 1895 he
started the Daily Mall and his methods
with that paper startled the rutted old
journalists of London into speechlessness
and dazzled the reading public. What Mr..
Harmsworth did was only to give London
a newspaper copied somewhat after Amer
lean models Mr.. Harmsworth has no
time for ordinary recreation. His criti-
cism of the war Office is unique in British
journalism.
