A MARCH THAT WILL BECOME HISTORIC

lhe Lendon

limes correspondent | » 1 ~ at Bloemfontein gives a striking picture

of the difficulties of that great march to Bloernfontein, the whole aim and direction which had to | suddenly changed by Lord Roberts, as Lord

Kitchener had independently changed

lirection of the force ur ( ; tthe situation ‘ronje’s flight. Onlya very com plete organization of transp rt, and ex traordinary willingness on the part of the troops to put up with unavoidable shortness of rations after the great dis- could have enabled Lord Roberts to carry outa march which will become historic. The correspon- dent

‘“‘Lord Roberts has entered the cap ital of the Orange Free State, and a general view of a march which had so determination, and _ will probably ectipse in fame even the field-marshal’s well known descent up- on Kandahar, can now be taken.

‘In its widest aspect the movement may be said to have had _ two distinct parts, of which one, directed upon Kimberley and the eastern side of the Boer force holding Magersfontein and Spytfontein, came to an abrupt end on the evening of February 15, when it | was found that Cronje was conducting

in hot haste a retreat upon Bloemfon-- ; tein; the other, of which the capture lof Cronje was the chief incident, ‘though an incident only, had for its objective the enemy’s capital.

We have already traced the move- ment of the divisions through the Ram- dam gate of the country to Dekiel’s drift, or to Wateivai, thence through Weedraal or Jacobsdal to Klip drift, Drieput, Klip kaal, and Paardeberg, | but the consideration of the chief fea- ture in this march has been left to the presenttime. It has been hitherto impossible to realize the full effect of the change of plans above referred to, a change that had of necessity to be decided upon in two or three hovrs only.

“To organize the march of a force 40,000 men and 20,000 horses and other animals needs an amount of pre- paration which can be guessed at by a layman, but of which the unending labour and anxiety would exceed the wildest estimate. Delay is charged against the organizing department of the army so often and so easily —often, perhaps, so justly —that the present ex- ample ofan instantaneous rearrange— ment of gigantic plans, carried out without a day’s warning, deserves most careful notice.

“Momentum can only be safely gained by caution, but once gained is a masterful force; the instant reversal of an army’s line of march from west to east 1s like the reversal of the heavy flywheel of a delicate machine thai has but slowly gathered speed and is now working at high pressure. In many ways the order was experimental, and, trom the commander-in-chie! downward, heads departmen s powerless now to help the mechanism so carefully built up, could only stan: aside and watch with anxiety to see | it would stand the strain. ‘hat it dic so stand is nowa matter of history, but it is doubtful if many at home have yet realized all that is implied in the situation: indeed, to take that depart ment alone, so delicately adjusted and so long prearranged are the systems of supply adopted by the Army Ser- vice Corps that the revised scheme presented difficulties from Cape ‘Town tothe Modder that are comparable only to those that would be suggested to an ordinary man by an attempt wholly to reorganize immediately and successfully the train service of a small railway company.

“Never was confidence better repos- ed, and it is difficult to say which has deserved more credit, those who were, in spite of all, nearly always able to j supply throughout this expeditien full rations to the men, or those men who have for their commander-in-chief un- dergone without a murmur the inevit-

“The inarch over. With all its

weariness, all its haste, and the inevit able loss of beasts of burdens, the end had been attained and, in looking back over the long red track that our wagon wheels have beaten into the veldt the feeling is overmastering that | one of the historic marches of history has been brought through to a success- ful close.

“The factors that made the difficulty | will probably never again be met with in such nurabers and in such force. Fo move 40,000 men and half that | number of animals across open country | for a hundred miles is a task difficult | enough in circumstances such as | would impede its execution in England. |

To have done so across the dry veldt, | where water is met only once a day | and must be the factor deciding the | night ’s stay, to have done so in the teeth of a watchful enemy, and at a, distance of j7oo—some say 7,00c0o— | miles from the base without a man go- | ing foodless for a day, without the loss of a waggon except though physical defect ef cart or amimal, and ata pace that Lord Roberts alone can draw out of his men, is a feat that must silence much untutroed criticism of the or- ganization of the army. once admitted been done at manoeuvres; but, as a test ef actual capability, nothing out- here is more tetally discredited than the foolish outdoor parades which we have been content to trust as experi- ence sufficient ef the capacity alike of man and organization.

“The latest determination that for some reason we seem able to bring to the front only in an ensergency has been realized as a powerful force by Lord Roberts, and has been drawn up- on freely and with unerring judgment. Endurance, that will in the future de- cide battles more, perhaps, than any other rank-anc-file quality, kas had its severest test, and we may be thankful that our troops have toa man _ proved their strength to suffer even more than their strength to fight. The long march that was finished yesterday de- serves one of the first places among the achievments of the army”.

the little general is palpably to keep quiet until he 1s good and ready, and then with go rush. This was indi- cated magnificently by the jump upon Cronje. The Bloemfontein _ letters show that is was the case too after Paardebe re

Cronje surrendered at Paardeberg on Feb 27. ‘The British army lay silent until March 7, concentrating at Osfontein, just beyond. Then came the rush. ‘There was a Boer army in front but it had to goin a hurry = Ac- cording to the letters from the Cana

dians, their travelled about as follows :

March 7. Left Osfontein to attack Boers. “Drove them along the river for about ten miles. It was a forced pace and mighty hard,” writes one.

March 8. Apparently inactive.

March 9. Marched several miles and crossed Mooi river in pontoons.

March 10. Marched 21 miles.

March 11. (Sunday). Marched 12 miles under a blazing sun, “the hottest for weeks.”

March 12. Marched 16 miles. “Oh our poor feet, skinned and blistered !”

This is pretty steady going, for hot days, rough roads, half rations and a heavy load. Julian Ralph, who ac- companied the march of the Highland- ers to Koodoosberg some time before, wanted to try what the soldier’s load was. He equipped himself with the harness and arms of a Highlander who had been sunstruck. Quarter of an hour’s marching in the sun was enough when he got back on his horse. Later he had the soidier’s accoutrement weighed. The figure was fifty pounds. It was a little heavier than the ordin- ary, as it included 3 days’ rations—but these weighed but a few pounds.

“It is said that when Lord Roberts realized the new position he sent for tho head of the supply department and asked him it he could promise him full ratioss for the new movement. ‘I can- not, sir,” “Three-quaiter ration ? ‘No, i sir.” ‘Half? ‘I cannot promise.’ A

pause ensued, and the field-marshal ' asked gravely, ‘Quarter rations?’ ‘Yes.’ A second pause, and the commander- in-chief said, ‘Well I think they will do it for me.’
