THE BRITISH ARMY.
UNFIT TO FACE CONTINENTAL •FORCES. . GERMAN CRITIC'S VIEWS. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 16, 5.5 p.m. Berlin, October 15. Colonel Gadke, the well-known German military writer and critic, writing on the recent British manoeuvres, expressed his conviction in the newspaper Berliner Tagblatt that the British Army does not compare with the French, German, Austrian or Japanese armies. By the present training the British Army was not fit for a conflict with a Continental army. Britain could not be placed among) the first-class military Powers, but their raw material was eminently good and she need yield to no other in the world in other respects. Commanders had no idea of handling troop in masses and the generals were unsound i ntheir tactics.
