England’s Greatest Feat.

The army which the British gov-

is the largest that ever crossed the
seas into a distant country. About
80,000 troops left England or the
colonies for South Africa. The
United States will have not over
65,000 in the Philippines when all
recruits shall have arrived. Eng~
land sent about 40,000 men to In-
dia under Lord Clive, 30,000 to
Egypt under Wolseley, 26,000 to
the Crimea under Lord Raglan.
The Duke of Wellington had only
20,000 British soldiers in the final
