BERLIN AND WESTMINSTER. (Pall Mall Gaulle, Englishmen bare a natural Bylorathy for the kind of rejoicing which Borlin bne just witness od. The Gorman army lies come back from a war which, in the eyes of the German people, was a war of national defence. The enthusiasm with which its return has been welcomed is too entkurinam of men who feel that for the brat time they oan dwell at home mufely, pone mating them afraid. Other mime havo bagn sttribated, trnty or falsely, to Gorman statea men; but it is this thought that has made the war papular. Germany has fought with up- equalled unanirsity, persistents, and alf,devo- tion, in order that the German soll shäll never aguin bo trodden by a hostile army. This is precisely the end which Englishmen are most neaustomed to put before themselves as the final enues of their military system. The stereotyped disclaimer of any wish to interfare in European disputes as though God kad
made of one blood all the nations of the Cons tinent, and of another the inhabitants of thie island is always accompanied by some com- menplaco about "defence, not defiance. The objest which Gormany has just accomplished is the object which England equally with Gate A wany is apposed to desire. At Berlin they are keeping holiday, because this object has been achiered by war; at Westminster, if me p were wise, we should be working our hardest to ensure that it shall be aobiared without war,
Unhappily, though there is contrast enough between Berlin and Westminster, it does not take this form. In the one city men are boast. ing as those that take off their armöze; in the other, men have not yet mads up their minds aa to the necessity of Eaying any armour to put e. The lessons to be learned from ressit events are neither many nor hard, but there in so signs yet that Englishmen have matered any one of them. The war ought to have taughty that no amountof national entbasinsm or individual courage will all against the same qualities backed by organization and redhamal completeness, but as yet there are no signs that our exclusive reliance on the former bagst all rolaxed. A volunteer forco will- ut discipline or training, a militia with out artillery, or commissariat, aragular army without reserves, and with no proper provision for recruiting are atill the main features of our defensive system. A see. sion has lacet pamed since peace-was restored, but all that it has contributed to the promo ion of army reform has been long purposeless contest about a mere outwork of the subject. Even with the alarms of last natunin removed but as short a time from u, and with nothing else to occupy our thoughts, we have been unable to keep them fixed on the simple sad misily followed outlines of military reorganization. Only last night Sir Henly Storks na good as admitted that no material improvement in the physical condition of the "army'le" to be hoped fot. As a soldier, bo should be but too gled to be able to go into the labour market, and fill up the, ranks of the army with the most efficient men he could get
