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.-
