Choice White THE DAILY BRITISH PROF. MITCHELL SPEARS Caesar and Field Service Regulations. Frofessor G. WW. Mitchell, Queen's University, gave a splendid address the cadets of the Royal Military | !Collegs on Wednesday afternoon, | this being the fourti of the series | of lectures in tho Sir Arthur Currie | hai. After bang introduced by | Major-General Sir A. C. Macdonell, | "he speaker tuid his audience (hat | he had had great difliculty in select- | ing a suitable topic, as . he under- | stood that the subjeéc: must be about | happiness, about which only thing he knew was that ons should! mind his own business. Prof. Mit-| chell expressed pride at being asked | ke of the beauty of| the buildings and the surrounding scenery. He also suggested that the | cadets should feel privileged to r-| onments, When Prof. Mitchell announced | that the title of his address was to be "Julius Caesar and the Field Ser-| vice Regulations," was greeted | | with roars of merrithent, and the ats] tention of the audienca was imme- | |diately caught. Continuing, the | | speaker showed conclusively that the | battle of Pharsalia, fought in the | year 48 B.C, was won by Julius | | Caesar simply because he followed | the principles which are now enun-| ciated in the Field Service Regula- | tions of the British Army, ! The speaker made several refer- | |ences to the writings and speeches | {of Julius Caesar, comparing them | { with paragraphs of the present text- | books of the British army, and dis- [played a splendid knowledge. of both | ancient history and modern tactics. | | The Battle of Pharsalia decided | lized world, Pompey, who was the | leader of the aristocratic element, or | Julius Caesar, who. represented- the | democrats, and was typical of the | | age long struggle between the East | | and West for supremacy. | Another important feature of the | battle was that it was won entirely | [by tactics, being won by Caesar with | 120,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry against his opponent's 45,000 infan- try and 7,000 cavalry. Professor Mitchell showed how {Pompey violated the Field ' Service | Regulations by deploying too soon and in Tull sight of the enemy, and |how Caesar by originating the prin- | ciples which are now laid down in tthe text-books, and, forming front lines, supports and a large reserve | fought a Successful strategical | battle. "And now," said the { "Just to show that I am not speaker, talking { honsense, let us turn to Field Regu- lations, Part 1, Section 102, Infan- | try Training, Section 174, para 5, and compare the paragraphs with ex- tracts from the life of Caesar."

Professor Mitchell then explained [the tactics followed by Caesar after the battle and rout of Pompey's for- ces, when the forces of the latter were surrounded, ultimately sur- rendering to Caesar when they even then numbered 22,000 troops, as compared with the 21,000 troops | with which the military genius had commenced the battle of Pharsalia, "And now, may I point to the {moral of this story," concluded the speaker. "Julius Caesar was not al- ways a military genius, for battles salia clearly indicate that his judg- ment had not developed. History | | throughou® the ages shows that an| {ordinary man by good work will beat the genius every time, and the life {of Cacsar serves as an insoiration to ves to niastering the problems of life and to be persevering, Gentle men cadets, you should thank your lucky stars that you have come. to a place of learning that makes a man work sometimes, anyway, whether { he wants to or not." { Profescor Mitchell was loudly ap- | Plaucdea ou the conclusion 0' his ad- | dress, which was extremely interest- ing"through and scintillated with droll huinor.
