THE NEED FOR AN ARMY. This handful of military" "o expeditions with which we are, or have lately been, concerned, illustrator, if nothing else does, the use and the functions, even to a great inval power, of au efficient army. It may seem somewhat strange that there should be way call (py debate on such amatter in a country which during the laat half montury has fought a great deal on land and very little ab'am. And yet, owing to the seo sow .fabbion in which we attend to our armamenta, there is such a zerosity. After the Franco-Gormas war, end, while we were trembling over the Battle of Dorking, wo were all for an army to defend us. Then camo Bir John Calamb, and his brother Admiral. Colonib, and naval soares and after them Captain Maben. The now wind of doctrine blew a round, and for the last few year we have been all for a power. We are so completely for it that it is in some peril of becoming a blessed Messpotamia,” a more mugle plurnee which is used in place of argument. Nothing is mono, cammon, for in- stance, than to hear it said that the "wa-power" won us America. So in the circumstances it did; but then we ought to remember what they were. Our colonists in North America were a million and a quarter in number to the French seventy thousand or so. Our generals Amherst and Wolfe were, on the whole, botter níon than their opponenta. Therefore, when our parg out off our enemy's reinforcements our troops were able to crush him on band. - Hut if the French colonists had been more numerous than our, as they might well have been, and if their generals had been more skilful which was Inmanly possible, no superiority, of sea-power would have enabled us to conquer Americă.
The shield, after all, has two sides, and it is eminently unorition to pars et in looking at one only. The nury su do much. It can word off invasion-indeed, it is the only force which can. An army cannot fight to defend us till the onemy in landing or has fandal. Again, the navy can keep the ses routes open for com merce and the movements of armies.. It các land. He soldier on the other side of the see; but there its work ends. It cannot replace military fores in fuland regions. The whole British feet riding at anchor in the Dardanelles
could do less to protect Armenises in the neigh hourhood of Lake Van than might be done by a couple of regiments of well-handled mounted infantry on the spot. Neither can our ironolada save Bulawayo. Gunboats cannot go to War saw or jut the Caspian, though malicious jokers persist in Acensing a posparlabia member of Parliament of supposing that they could. When we want to not in such places wo must have the appropriate force, which le an army Strictly speaking, we will almost always tequire a military force for pur

In the soventeenth century we brought the Dutch, trading people, to submission by defeating the on the sea. But we could not have quelled France in that fashion.
