The feet which is to deliver or parry the Grat blow must be under the commander who is to lend it in war, and that commander must have a plan, and 'mart be satisfied that he has the force required to carry out that plan,, he is not sati fied with the cond tionvimposed upon him by the Government, his'duty is clear.

Napoleon's ruling under sech conditions

is -

"Every commander-in-chief who is ordered to carry out a plan which he regards as bad or disastrous is criminal if he obeys. He must make representations and insist on being re- pliced, or in the last extremity resign his pasi. tion rather than be the instrument of ruin to

will prove to the

instructions to which the general should coo. form with all his heart and conscience, but these instructions are not military commands and so do not demand a passive obedience."

The judgment of freign instructed military opinion on Cervera's action in 1898 confirms this view, holds that Cervera committed a great of mistake in consenting to carry out a plan campaign which he knew to be disastrous, and green that his only course was to resign when someone should have been found who believed is the proposed plan. -

For the satisfactory war iraining of the instantly ready fleet the commander-in-chief must have all its units under his personal com- mand and inspection. Only in this way can he assure himself of the character of the various cap. tains and the condition of the various units. He must know exactly what speed he can get out of his battleships, craisers, destroyers, so that he may be able to tell them off to their various duties. He must know which of his offices are bold' aart resolute and which are

incomparably more certain, but Alko will immensely diminish the lors, of life in ob- taining it and will ensure annihilation of the enemy. The chances of war are yo mnay, the probable effect of rvaise for us-10. serious, that every possible effort should be made to bring to bear in battle the maximum of force.

But even such a catastrophe would have had' no decisive result had Japan; been able to place in line eight or ten battle ships against the six Russians.

It will be observed that Prince Henry's main fleet is complete in all particulars. It is not composed of battleships and of cruiser, alone, but has with it a proportion- of torpedo 'craft.
