And jumped into his ovcrulls
And mixed pot OF glue,
Apd started out 10 build the ark
Right on tho job from dawn till darIz-

The gang stood round In jeering ranks
And called him seven kinds of cranks
And tried to get his goat,
But Noah said: You mcasly crowd.
There's waterspouts in yonder cloud:
Go on and build boat"
Now II old Noah came along
And sang that old gct-ready song
About things being dry!

And say. old sport. so cut that spiel

AT the time the letter was written the
charge against the British army had been
proved time and again. The Boer farmers
had whipped detachments of British soldiers
with the same ease. almost. as the British in
turn. had wiped out bodies OF hallmark
tribeSmen. What the people al Home had
expected 10 he punitive expedition. which
would speedily and readily subdue an igno-
rant and subject race. developed into a cam
patsn which strained the capacity OF the War
Office 10 the breaking point. and beyond In
competent officers had command. and the re-
suit was disaster after disaster So. Mr.
Hays resretful opinion that the British had
lost all skill in fighting" seemed TO be borne
ont by the facts.
When the European war broke out. Brit
aims army continued TO justify the sweeping
STRUCTURE Of some sixteen years before EN-
ceQt for the undoubted individual courage OF
Ulcers and men. the army had little ability
- Hhhtng force, against the scientifically
organized and equipped legons OF Germany.
:! the outset. the British officers followed
their traditions and walked up and down
before their men. and were shot down in
great numbers. To the professional soldiers
q he French army. the conduct of their
British comrades was daring enough, but eX-
treuely foolish: while as leaders OF men as
useful officers expert fighters, the French
looked on them with something between
amusement and pity.
As time went on and British unprepared-
ness became moro slarng. the loss of all
Skill in lighting became more and more
disasrrously apparent. and reached the point
where gibes al British inactivity eliminated in
the harsh ,aun, England expects to fight
until the last Frenchman dies" Their loss
OF skill was fact not phrase. but it was
duo to ono all-embracins weakness-unpre-
parodness.
Then millions began to join Kitchener's
army; Lloyd George TOOK charge of the manu-
lactur2 of munitions and supplies; officers
proited by the methods and experience OF
Frances superb soldiers, and now, after two
years, Britain has attained to such Skill in
lighting that she fights side by side with the
veterans of France, and is slowly, but re-
lentlcssly. advancing against the forty-year-
old German war machine
The lesson for America from this phase of
the war is that the efficacy of millions Of
men rushing to the colors'' is myth and
that unless there shall be adequate military
and industrial preparedness tho time may
como when some commentator will observe
and truly, that the United States is devoid
OF all skill IN hghting.' Eventually she
would acquire that skill. hut at what cost
England, and France and Belgium, for that
matter bear witness now.
