h ammersmfth~ Browne Thinks
Of the Natal Cazapai5n.
Mr.. Han nersmith Browne. the ia
nous military expert who has been
closely watching the progress Of the
South African war from his lodgings
in Pimlico square, London. has again
favored the public with some valuable
Jews on tie Acknowledgement of the
campaign.
Mr.. Browne says: IF Great Britain's
noble army in Natal had been more ac-
tive. 1t would have been less Idle. Gen
eral Butler made his first gr.evous err
ror when he permitted the Beers to
crowd him back. This seeming sue
cess no doubt animated the enemy tc
still greater exertions. whereas a de
feat would in a measure have discour
aged them. See my pamphlet entitled

TO get behind the Beers at all hazards.
a movement which doesn't appear &c

hind them. he could have pushed the
whole Boer pie stand clear to the coast
and into the arms of General Roberts.
General Methuen, too. seems to have
entirely neglected the a afforded
him of advancing by enfladed zigZags.
This beautiful movement would have
made the Beers dizzy at the very out
set. and Methuen would then have
been able to do with them as he
pleased So. too. with Macdonald and
Dundonald. Neither appears to nave
grasped the opportunities SO plainly
laid down before him. The Beers
were there and waiting. yet for some
unexplained reason the British gener
ais seemed entirely unable to tax ad
vantage OF this favorable fact.
"No doubt the kopje problem has
something to do with these continued
plumbers. The fact is the British gen
erals have made a very serious mistake
in doing their lighting in a kopje neigh
borhood.
ITO sum up, the campaign has been
marked by too many British defeats
and not enough British victories. and
all this can be ascribed to a pertina-
cious disregard for the ordinary rules
of modern warfare. which | have beer
