Scandals in the English Army.

1t looks as though the English army
were up against something more seri-
Gus than the vigorous poetic abuse of
Rudyard Kipling or the humiliating de-
feats by inferior forces of Beers. In
Parliament, in the English newspapers
and in the common gossip Of the
masses there are the most serious
charges being made in regard to the
army supplies of horses, food, equip
ment and transports. England, so
heavily taxed to support the long and
disastrous South African war is in no
mood to enjoy the disclosure that it has
been systematically and extensively
robbed by government and army
officials. The very delay tof the minis
try in the investigation of these
charges is regarded as unfavorable and
suspicious.
For a century England has been free
from any scandals over the personal
pecuniary corruption Of army officials.
Often its generals and their subordi-
mates have been stupid, and there has
been much mismanagement and many
b!unders, but they have been brave and
honest. Though their heads were
wooden, their hands We're clean. But
