, sooner or later,to become the scene of a tremendous struggle between these nations.Happily, at the present time the Afghans are on our side. It is truethat we have warred with, and beaten them; but our retirement, aftervictory, has at least shown them that we have no desire to take theircountry while, on the other hand, they know that for those races uponwhom Russia has once laid her hand there is no escape.In these pages you will see the strength and the weakness of these wildpeople of the mountains; their strength lying in their personal bravery,their determination to preserve their freedom at all costs, and thenature of their country. Their weakness consists in their want oforganization, their tribal jealousies, and their impatience of regularhabits and of the restraint necessary to render them good soldiers.But, when led and organized by English officers, there are no bettersoldiers in the world; as is proved by the splendid services which havebeen rendered by the frontier force, which is composed almost entirelyof Afghan tribesmen.Their history shows that defeat has little moral effect upon them.Crushed one day, they will rise again the next; scattered it wouldseem hopelessly they are ready to reassemble, and renew the conflict,at the first summons of their chiefs. Guided by British advice, led byBritish officers and, it may be, paid by British gold, Afghanistan islikely to prove an invaluable ally to us, when the day comes that Russiabelieves herself strong enough to move forward towards the goal of allher hopes and ef forts, for the last fifty years the conquest ofIndia.G.
