There is no nation or tribe or caste in India"-to quote MT. Townsend aeain-"which is certain in the hour of trial to stand by the white man 5 side: which has, so to speak, elected him as ruler; which, were the garri- son defeated or withdrawn, could be trusted to die rather than the em- pire should fall.'
 It may be apathy rather than con- tentment which keeps India quiet; it may be that the capacity for fanatic ism inherent in all Asiatic peoples may never be put to test. The pes simism of Mr. Townsend's conclusion that the English hold upon India will some day be loosened may not be justified Even so there is anotfer peril against which the government must provide-the peril of conquest from without The public has a short memory. but it cannot have forgotten the alarm caused by the presence of tiiC
 the Russians at the gates Of Herat; it cannot fail to understand the pii''= nose of the expedition of Lhassa. There is no question that the with 1rawai of the British forces NoHld be followed by anarchy. There would bc a fierce contest of races and re- lieions in which the sunori!ciai CIVIL zat.on imposed upon India would van isb ike a mist. Here, no d1n3t wonl be the Russian opportunity. But Rus sia could not conquer India in many years, perhaps ever. Certainly the Puss;ans would not endeavor to gov ern the country as the English have 0une.
 While therefore, a force sufficient to hold India against a widespread revolution would be beyond the pow CT of England to provide, it IS clear that the Indian army must be ehor- mously effective for it's size. Military Irowess gave the land to EnelaEd an1. military skill must retain the gift. It i.; idle to govern such realm after parliamentary ideals or by the meth, ods of the bureaucrat Lord Kitch- erer's object is to have the army al- WAYS efficient, always mobilized-an immense police force for the mainten- ance of law and order. His work Ill Eeypt showed his genius for creating such an instrument of government, and he is not likely to be less success full in India.
