An interesting paper written by Joan de Bloch, the Russian councillor of state and member of the Russian ministry of finance on the lessons of the Transy war, was read at the United Service institution to day. M. de Bloch declared that the South African war had proved that military service, as practiced today, was aboard, and that the
conscription was unnecessary. The war showed that the theatrical spectacles called maneuvers ware in no way related to real war. One of the most remarkable features was the constant impossibility of determining the enemy's post tion This was not attributable to British defective reconnoissance, bat to the new con ditions of war. It was not mistakes made by the British nor the qualities of the Bours, who had shown entire lack of rational strategy and Lastice, which produced the results, sean, but smokeless powder and long range quick-firing rifles, which involved dispersion and invisibility to a degree unbeard of formerly, and to the possibility of providing riflemen with a larger number of cartridges. The nation of the artillery in South Africa had been generally absolutely contemptible against au entrenched enemy.
