One week ? 15 One month 50 One year 6 00 FRIDAY - DEC. 1899 MILITARY BLVKDERINQ. Gen. Gatncre's disaster tit Storm berg, in the light of full particulars, may be pronounced the worst piece of bungling in the recent history .of yt&r. While it is eas to praise the successful and criticise those who fail, the fight at Stormbcrg is some thing more than incidental defeat. It is a symptom of something radical y wrong in British army leadership as opposed to the Boers. Gatacre had 4000 men, while the enemy numbered but 800. The British loss was 700 killed, wounded and missing; the Boer loss, 5 killed, 14 wounded. At this rato England might send troops to South Africa by the hun dred thousand and make no aubstnn-' tial headway. The British have pushed the war with a headlong purpose to end it quickly and their casualties already foot up 5000. Not a. battle has yet been fought on Boe Boil. The fate of the beleaguered British forces is still m doubt, nnd that all can be relieved is decidedly improbable. The trouble with the Gatacre 5 1. !. it a . episoue is mat noining auout u was prudent, scientific or sensible. No necessity existed for the movemen unless the result was certain. Deleat would cost far more than victory was worth. The men were marched over the wrong route until exeausted on surprised in a position where they were helpless, though they outnum bered the enemy five to one. Ugly rumors come that the Highlanders -were cut up in Methuen's last battle -whilj they were marching at night into a position covered by the enemy's cross fire. Such generalship u on a par with navigation by igno rant pilots. No doubt the British public is deeply excited over the succession of gross blunders that fill the land with mourning. A storm ux wmm win uurei upon lue war office if tho chapter of startling mis takes is to be continued. It has become plain to the British military authorities that if they are to conquer the Boers they will have to throw into South Africa a vastly increased army, says the Salem Statesman. The situation recalls in many respects the experience of the United Stales in the war of IbGl. lfor a year and more wo mot with nothing) but disaster, till it began to be realized that we were fighting an enemy whoso advantages of position and communication, to speak of nothing else, wero such as to demand a preponderating force in armies attacking them, The British re operating at various points on a wide circle', against an enemy of at least equal numbers occupying a strongly posted ituirte line. Only preponderating numbers can mako such a campaign hopeful. Methuen's plan of striking repeated blows would have been all right if he had had tho mon to spare, but he had not. In this way Grant drove Loo through the Wilderness. It cost in told lives, but Grant had unlimited reinforce ments to fill up his ranks. Mctluicn had none. Tho Boer army is as strong as his, and strongly placed. In attacking it Mcthucn has only wasted his men without accomplishing results. The English have before now found it hard to "beat the Dutch," but they also have the virtue of persistence and it is not to be doubted that they will fight this thing out, if it takes "nil summer" and "three hundred thousand more." It is the failure to realize at tho first the seriousness of the work before them an error like our own of a generation back that is costing them now so many wasted lives.- Xntlce to Taxpayers.
