QUALITY IN SOLDIERS.
The British military critic who
says that "quality and not quantity
is what England needs to beat the
Hoers" is on the right track, but he
is a little faulty"in his illustrations.
"The battle of Saratoga," he says,
"should have taught every English
man the true theory of vnr. There
the Amnrican militia not only de
feated the English troops, but forced
them to an ignominous surrender;
and, mark it, these same Euglish
troops werctho best soldiers of their
time. Or, take a still clearer case,
"Wellington's veterans were beaten at
Kew Orleans by half their number of
raw militia. But even New Orleans
taught the English nothing."
In Burgoyne's campaign, which
ended with his surrender at Saratoga,
the conditions were much different
Iron) those which ' prevail in South
Africa. It was the Americans in
1777 who did most of the attacking.
Though Burgoyne was the invader,
as Bullet-has been in J 900, the Brit
ish did not waste their strength
against nn invisible enemy in the
eatltcr instance, for Arnold, Morgan
and the other American chieftains
took the offensive. The Americans
had nn incompetent commander,
Gates, the man whom Cornwaliis
easily defeated in the Southern cam
paign afterward, but under Gates in
the Saratoga battles were some of
the most dashing and skillful of the
American generals. .The British
made a frontal attack at New Orleans,
as they have been doing in South
Africa, and the parallel in' that in
stance is reasonably close, but at
New Orleans not only would flanking
operations nt the outset have been
aomowbat difficult, but Pakenham,
the British commander, knowing the
inferiority at Jackson in point of
numbers, had also some hope of
taking him by surprise. Pakenham
was deceived, as the result showed,
but his mistake had more of an ex
cuse than Bullers have had in the
present campaign.
Jf the British militaiy critics want
to find, in American experience, u
done analojjv to the blunders in
South Africa they can get it in
Abercrombie's campaign of 17o8,
which culminated at Ticonderoga.
Abcrcrombie made a frontal attack
on Montcalm at Ticonderoga which
did not have the oxcuse of Gage's
aatmult on Putnam and Preicott ut
Bunker Hill or Pakenban'e on Jack
on, as linking operations were not
ooly aasy, but several of Aberorom-
We'a officer, inoludfnp Lord Howe,
wm killed in tbe battle, pointed
nt ready atlMda by which tbe
BrlUeh and Am iImm could have
Cot in Moctoslafe rear, aid have
ftvttd bia to get out of bit breaat'
works. The British commander,
however, refused to listen to any sug
gestions of this sort, and as a con
sequence 15,000 troops, composed of
the flower of the British army and of
the American soldiers, were beaten
by 3500 French and Indiaus, losing
very nearly as many men in killed
and wounded ns Montcalm had in his
whole force. Quality undoubtedly
counts in military men as in otliur
sorts of persona, but it is quality in
officers more than in privates which
the British should insist on. The
private soldiers who have beeu
battling under Bullcr, French, White
and the other English commanders
are as brave ns any soldiers to be
found in any army, but the chief
officers arc evidently ignorant of
even the rudiments of a knowlenge
of their profession. Globe-Demo

He says : "I had kept adding to a cold
and cough in the winter of 1S97, trying
every cough medicine I heard of without
pcrmauent.help', until one day I was in
tho drng store of Mr. Houlehan and ho
advised mo to try Chamberlain's Cough
Kemedy and offered to pay back my
money if I was not cured. My lungs and
bronchial tubes were very soro at this
time, but I was completely cured by
this remedy, and have since always
turned to it when 1 got a cold, and eoon
find relief. I also recommend it to my
friends and am glad to eav it is the bust
of nil cough medicines.'' For sale by
