it seems difficult to realize that
there are in Great Britein, says Pear -

to -day wherein is not to be found a

moreover, to trace the cause of sueb
desola.tion, both in England and
abroad, where empty twos' are al-
most ubiquitous.
The public attention was recently
drawn to the case of the village of
Congleton, on the Macclesfield high
road, which consists of over sixty
houses and cottages, not. one of which
is oecupied.
But this instance is by no means
unique. In county; Donegal, Ireland,
there is a small town in a sinallarlY
deserted cOndition. Over one hundred
houses go to form it, and the. poblic
buildings' include a Roman Catholic
chapel, a police station and little post
office. Yet not one of the nouses is

You will fln4 a great deal more in-

War, in general, saya a well known
toillatry expert. A.ccording to the mil-
itary writers there are four kinds of
war. As a preliminary it Is necessary
for you. to understand the difference
between the two words winch most
often drop trout the lips of the expert
...,nanciely, strategy and taetice.
Strategy le the whole plan of mon-
paign ; Medico is the plan on wbich
ar angle battle is fought.
Now, it is clear that, in war, the
whofe plan oe campaign can mean an
attack, or it can. mean einiply remain--
Img quietly on the defense. Likewise,
in +men battle,• yoo can either' beldly-
attack theeeneray or remain paw
trenched until he' attacks you. In this;

tack the enemy, and invade Ida couno
try, and every time any part of it.
comee up wIth a force of the enemy'
it attacks him. That is what the Bri-;
tieh have been doing in South Africa.'
It ia the kind of war which all nations
believing they have superior strength
make. It is attack in strategy and
attack in tactics. And the results are
aa follows: In _case of victory you an-
nihilate the enemy and colleluer bis
country; Mae you are defeated it
does not matter very mu.eb, for you
have only to get more men and go
at it again.
ATTACK IN STRATEGY,.
Secondly, the whole army may in-
vade the enemy's country -that is, at-
tack in strategy. The Boers began the
war in this way. But, having got a cer-
tain distance, they may entrencle them-
selves and wait for the enemy to at -
teak.
Now,. wbat the posslble result of
this kind of war I :Well, in mite of
victoryn, you defeat the enemy in sev-
r
era' battles, but you don't annilulate
him, and there he is, ready to come
on amain as soon as he gets re -enforce -
talents. In case of defeat your army
is annihilated, or else it • has to run
away 'home. •
The other two . kinds of war have
110 present interest. They are, third-
ly defensive strategy, plus defensive
tactics. 'Suppose the Boers had stay-
ed in their own country entrenching
themselves, this would be their species
of war, And, foorthly, defensive stra-
tegy phis offensive tootles. Suppose
the Boers had stayed in their oven
country, but inetead of matrenclung
themtselves, fell upon .the English
troops wherever they entered, this
would be their kind of •warfare.
There are many interesting things
to be said about these different ways of
'Carrying on war: For instanee, it is the
nation which believes in its' superior
strength. that makee tbe attack both
in strategy and tacties, and the count -
tee, which remains on the defense is
uoually conscioui of its weakness. In
fact, it knows that, unless something
un.expected happens, it must be beat-
en in the end, and the reason it fights
is that it hopes some suen incident will
occur. There have been 'many examples
ef this fact. • e
STRENGTH. FOR THE WEAK.
When Greece threw down the gaunt-
let to Turkey a short time ago it
knew very well that the Powers would
not rem it annihilated and that tirae
was its ally. In 1878 Turkey fought
Ruasia, in just the same way, acting
almost wholly on the defenstve. The
Sultan, 110 doubt, hoped that England
would come to his aid, and England
was very near doing so. Bat, though
no one came to the Sultan's assistance!
during the war, several of the Pow-
ers, including . England, stepped in
when it was over a-nd prevented Rus-
sia from taking a big slice, of the Tur-
kish Empire.
It is generally supposed. that the de-
fensive nation has great advantages,
and that all the • disadvantages f
are with 'the attacking army. But this
is not the case at all. Each method of
warfare has its good points and bad.
Attacking troops can choose their owe
time for giving battle, while the de-
fenders can do nothing but' wait. Be-
siegers can enjoy themselves while
resting, but the besieged must be all
the time on the alert. Then there is
nothing which depresses men's • spir-
its so much as remaining in the same
place for weeks or months, bearing al f
the discomforts of camp life, especial- e
ly when they got several dosee of lyd•
dite shells every day, Attacking troops
are mere or less tyn the move, and the
new scenes arid active life keep up t
their spirits. And, as every one knows t
it is much easier to get up courage
to attack than to wait quietly on the a
defensive. 0

There are disadvantagete however, to
the attacking party which' counterbal-
ance the advantages. Por instance, an &
army that bas to travel over much f!
ground loses more men on the mareh• '
than in combat, Then they have to
go a long Way from their base Of sup-
plies, and the result is poor food and a
little of It. Often they hove to fight d
after a long night's march, and if You -
want to know what that means walk t

night, and then, without breakfasting, t
play a ganIe of football. You'll belle
some idea of what South African eel- °
diers have to do at the •present time. ba
Another thing against the attaek-
ing force is that while it is rushing f
up close to the enemy it can do little °
or no firing, while the enemy from his m
sate position In the trenches can fire m
at his leitture. Then the attacking le
patty is tied to time. It muot finish ,
the woe* in one day, or it will have cl
to begin all over again next clay, and C
find the enemy as strong as ever, For se
that reason an attack has a better a
chance of sUccesa on a long summer a
day than tin one Of the abort days of
winter. Finally, the attathing troops
must be better men than the defend-
