John Bull .Always Goes Into a War in an Tlnprelnared Fashion, Fi ons Somaliland has come the usual cry for "Vlore men," which al- ways makes itself heard whenever John 13u11 engages in any warlike operations; aad it is officially an- nounced that General Manning is to flet Strictly on the defensive instead of chasing the savage foe. It is ludicrous now to look back upon the tea-party of 1901, when a tiny force of no more than one thousand five hundred men chased the Mad Mullah out of British into Italian territory, and then was re- called, under tho impression that its work was done. At this present writing, it seems that the smashing of the Mullah would have been one of the most serious "little wars" which Great Britain had ever under- taken. 'Twas ever thus. John Bull al - nays thinks .he is going to found 3'mpires with a corporal's guard. Ile strolls into a war in the most ease -1 ll and unprepared fashion, and the usual outcome is a swift and sudden' disaster, with the usual sequel of a try for "more men." It is unneces- sary to do more than allude to the listoric instance of the South Afri- can War, when the "fifty thousand corse and foot going to Table Bay" Ixpected their work to be over in three months, The event proved ;hat nearly three hundred troops had ell their 'cork out out to get it lone in three years. THE 'LULU WAR fives a very good instance of this easy-going temper on the part of Iohn Bull. The terrible disaster of lsandlwana gave England a nasty shock, when a British camp was rushed by the Zulu impis and the troops annihilated. Five hundred men and thirty officers were among the slain, including Colonel Pulling, Major White and Colonel Durnford, R. E. Moreover, the dusky foe got away with one hundred and two wagons, one thousand oxen, and two guns, besides one thousand rifles and o large stock of stores and ammuni- tion, Inquiry showed that the disaster aright have been averted by the use of cavalry, which had been pressing- ly sought for by the conunamder-in- ahiet, Lord Chelmsford, and Sir Bartle Frero. Of course, as soon as the steed was stolen, the home au- thorities made haste to shut the stable door; and eight thousand more troops were hurried out in the course of a week or so, later follow- ed by the 17th Lancers, who were to rain glory on the decisive field of illundf, Sir John Tennicl, with his usual aptness in grasping and giving pic- torial point to a situation, depicted a stalwart Zulu at the blackboard, lecturing John Bull on the text: "Despise not your enemy." To despise his enemy was ever a pet weakness of the Britisher; and commanders in the field have had to urgently appeal for reinforcements to the home authorities ever since the days of Wellington in Portugal. Dur- ing the first Ashanti War, the coma wander -in -chief (now Lord Wolseley) Slated IN NEARLY EVERY DESPATCH en the pressing need for "more men." However, Mr, Cardwell, the 'hon War Minister, apparently deem- ed, with Shakespeare's "Henry V.," the "fewer men, the greater share of glory" ; for the general's appeal was but grudgingly responded to. The same drama was played in tho Soudan in 1885. It needed the fall of Khartoum and the death of the heroic Gordon to awaken John Bull to the seriousness of the situation. A vote of censure was moved in both Houses of Parliament on the, Minis- try then in power; being defeated in the Commons, though it passed the Upper Chamber by a substantial lnajority. Soon afterwards the Grenadiers embarked at Gravesend for the seat of war, and other troops were speedily sent out. Later, the New South Wales contingent sailed, this being the first time a Colony had sent troops to help the Mother Country at its own expense. But the happy-go-lucky Briton may console himself with the fact that ho Is not the only banana on the bunch. Other nations -Franco and Spain, for example -have made the same mistake in underestimating the pow- er and resources of those opposed to them. 4 SEE TOLD TETI WRONG MAH ,A,n amusing street incident hap- pened recently.
