Show t COKDDCT OF MS f IR THBILUNO All ts BEES ENERGETIC As Compared With Other Wars, Uncle Sam Has Made a Rceord. Progress Has Been Satisfactory. . There are some persons in the United States and a good many elsewhere who find much cause for in complaint what they are pleased to term the dilatory prosecution of Uncle Sams war against the Spanish Dons. tVeie tbc-ikickers thoroughly famiHar with the aCnaJg of the present tentury they would know that to date events have Juoved with remarkable rapidity since the beginning of liostUiUcs last Apt.U J( Is true that the Franco-Prussia- n war was shoved along with much greater celerity and so, perhaps, was the war between the n and Austria, 5n these two eases conditions were so different from those prevailing In the present war that comparisons are by no means fair. In neither case was It necessary for the aggressive nation to put to sea, let alone expand a little group of between 20.000 and 30,000 fighting men, barely enough to maintain military organization, to an effective army of invasion. Prussia and France are contiguous and it was only necessary for the Prussians to advance to the French frontier to begin operations, and conditions were not lees favorable to the expedition of operations In the Austro-Prussiwar. Besides, all parties were ready for both'these wars, having been perfecting military organizations for many years. The only war? fought in this-hal- f century that can be compared with the current one with. any degiee of fairness were the Crimean war of lS54-.i(and the conquest of Egypt in 18S2. Both were conducted with much greater deliberation than that with which our operations against Spain have been carried on. Yet in both Instances the aggressive nations were provided at the beginning with thousands more trained soldiers than the United States possesses even yet. Moreover, la the Crimean war, England was not fighting single handed, being In alliance with France, while In the Egyptian operations England had the moral support of every European power, and her antagonists were alt Asiatic or African blood people totally unable by nature to put up a winning fight against Europeans. It is now two months and four days since the present war began, on April 22, by the Nashville's capture of the Buena Ventura. Since Then the United States forces hare completely destroyed one Spanish fleet in waters thousands of miles from home, annihilated another on this side and the conquest of an enormously rich group of islands is virtually acFrom an effective force complished, of less than 30,000 men the 'army has been increased to more than 100,000, andthe new troops are being rapidly transformed into one of the most effective fighting organizations in the world. Events moved vastly slower In the Crimean war. For causes which need not be explained here, England and France, acting Jointly, declared war against Russia on March 28, 18S4. Instantly the mobilization of large masses of troops was began both by the French and the English. Considering the interior means of transportation then existing, they were moved eastward with commendable celerity, lls for, after spending some time at and other Oriental localities, they landed at Varna on May 29 of the same year. This, however, it will be observed, was almost exactly as long after the declaration of war against Russia as the period which has now elapsed since the capture of the Buena Ventura, the first act of the present wsf, and there was no end of complaint, both in England and France, over the delayr But the war was not actually begun by the end of May, 1854. The authorities in charge decided at once upon an expedition against the Crimea, but they took their time, and plenty of it, before they got down to business, for they didnt embark their forces until September 3, and the voyage from Varna to Old Fort, near Eupatoria, about thirty miles from Sebastopol,was Dot finished uptl the middle of the month .

It was made up wholly of Egyptian peasants, untrained to withstand the onslaught of civilized soldiers and really worthless as military material. England's organized army at that time numbered 131,859 men at home and 62,653, all British soldiers, in India, n total force of nearly 290,000 men. And yet It was not until August 27, two months "and a half after the declaration of war, that England managed to land 22,000 men at Ismaila and Port Said, where active land --operations were begun. Yet England is not now held to have acted nnwlseiy in - the Egyptian campaign.
