IL 194 INVASION OF THE CRIMEA. CHAP, absent from his mind. The farther he goes, the ' — v — ' more he needs to keep up an incessant communi- cation with his 'base;' and yet, since the line is lengthening as he advances, it is constantly becoming more and more liable to be cut Such a disaster as that he looks upon as nearly equal to ruin, and there is hardly anything that he will refuse to sacrifice for the defence of the dusty or mud -deep cart- roads which give him his means of living and figh...ting. On the other hand, the commander of a ' movable * column ' begins his campaign by wilfully placing himself in those very t circumstances which would bring ruin upon an army carrying on regular opera- tions. He does not profess nor attempt to hold fast any ' line of operations ' connecting him with his resources. He says to his enemy : ' Surround me if ' you will ; gather upon my front ; hover round me * on flank and rear. Do not affront me too closely, ' unless you want to see something of my cavalry * and my horse-artillery ; but, keeping at a courteous * distance, you may freely occupy the whole country ' through which I pass.
