A BOER ADVANTAGE.

by their great suverior forces

whole posse of British Outlanders

into the sea. No one points out

r little mistakes or excites the peo-

, feare of still greater disasters.

r casualties are not exaggerated and ot Kruger is not attacked because

te the Boer widows and mothers

ne that their husbands and sons

alive. Their chegrip at the uo” xnectedly slow movement of the cam- s carefull concealed. Their lead-

koow, now, of course, that they have

rtaken a hopeless task ; but the Boer

» at large are not worried by the

lamentations of the grumbling critic and

pessimist,— and they are to be con- ated upo& the fact.

MILITARY CONCLUSIONS.

M. Bloch, ia the unabridged edition of

s famous work on “ The Future of War,” bas summarized the conclusions of the most advanced school of Eurcpean military science cencerning battle tactics of the present and future. Itis eur- prising to find how many of them have been bourne out by Great Britain’s South African experience. They are as fol lows :—

are | ines

1. That the mora! superiority of attaek would be more them ccunterbalanced by the tremendous accession of strength to the defenders which rerults from impreved small arme. | 2. Thai battles would seldom be de- cisive.

3 That the victors would not bein a poeition to pursue, and that tue retreat-

4. That infantry will be prostrated after battle, and not in a position to carry suc- cesses home.

5. That frontal attacks would be im- possibie without great superiority cf num- bers.

6. Tbat night marches and night at. tacks would have to be resorted to.

7, That entrenchments properly adapted to modera fire weuld be invisible.

8. That troops on the defensive would be more likely to surprise than to be eur- prised.

9. Thatthe future of war will be a wears of seiges and entrenched posi- tions.

10. That ‘nvisible sharpshooters would mow dewn hundreds.

11. That an abortive attack would lead to the attacker entrenching himself, and the exchange of rolls.

12. That ambulance work would be carried on under aimost impossible con- ditions owing to long-range fire which would lead to accusations of violation of the Red Cross.

13. That satisfactory reconnaissance weuld be much more difficult than for- meriy, (M. Bloch decisred that only infantry could reconnoitre successfully.)

14. That the lossin officers would be disproportiionate.

15. That troops could only advance slong railway lines.

16. That with equal resolution wars would laet longer than in the past.

17. That turning mevements with im- mense numerical superiority. would be the only means of gaining Jecisive yic- tories.

These seventeen conclusions have, we are told, been scarcely noticed in England,

NOTES AND Cv MMENTS.

—When the armha'r critic is in doubt he abuses the War Office.

—It is reported that a fourth cavalry

io February.

—It is hoped that General Warren had not the same reason for leaving Spion Kep that the Boers had

—It is announced that the Philippine war—which was began over a year ago— is drawing toaconclusion. The terms of the settlement buave not yet been stated.

—The report (from a Boer cource) of the relief of Mafeking must be taken with a grain of salt until officially confirmed Colonel Plumer was reported advancing upon Mafeking last weer. If the report be true one cause of British anxiety is removed.

—It is stated that Mr. Macrum (whe was erstwhile United States Cunsul at Pretoria) is the bearer of aa important message from President Kruger, and that President MeKinley will decline to receive it because Macrun: left his post witheut leave and hss new no official standing.

—Referring to the recent meeting of

the Farmers and Dairymen’s Aseociation the Co-Operative Farmer saya: ‘* The efficers and members of the Marshfield Farmers Club and the resideats of the district geserally are to be congcatulated on the suceess of their efforts to make the meeting a suecese, and have earned the warmest praise aod grat:tude from the visitors upon whom they lavished such genial hospitality.”

—In once sense the etrictness ef the South African censorship has a silver lio-~ ing forthe big newspapers in Britaia. The special despatches seat to the British metropelitan press cost, for cabling alone, something like $925 a celums. Some- times, when a war correspondent bas a “scoop,” he sends it at “urgeney” rates— 12 ebillings (er $3) a word.

—The reference to interruption of cable communication in war despatches of tu- day is thie:

Mr. James was notified yesterday :

“Sr. Tomas, Loanda,

“ Gable iaterrapted. Telegrams for South Africa cpu only be forwarded by the east Coast route.”

[This cable is about 600 miles long run ning from Leands io Portuguese South Africa to the Island of 8t Thomas about 200 miles south of Guinea coast.]

—The Toronto Mail and Rmpire re- marke thai Mr. D. C. Fraser, M. P., is to be appointed commissioner of the Yukon Territory. Mr. George Casey, M. P., is to be sppointed postmaster at 8', Thomas. Mr. W. V. Pettet, M. P., is isto be appointed postmarter at Pi-tou, Thirteen memters of pariiament have al- ready received jobs, the three now named will bring the ncmber upto sixteen. It ig a curious circumstance that so many members should drop into post officer. Mr. Mulock, who makes these appoiat- ments, was the great statesrnan who laid down the important Reform principle that members of parliament ought uot to be awarded places in the public servicew.’,

—The Guardien eays that Mr. Martin “was no doubt elected by Liberal votes.” However this may be,the Montreal Gazette remarked, before the election, that ‘‘ Mr. Martin, who is the Liberal candidate in Winnipeg, was expelled by the Biftonites fiem tae Winnipeg Liberal Association. His preeence in the House of Commons will be a constant reminder to Parliament that Siftonism is mot a paying business. Mr. Martin asae M.P., will not strengthen the opposition forces, but he will help the cause of etraight administra'ios. Con~ wervatives can vote for him’ with good will.” But could the supporters of the ministry vote for Mr. Martio, seeing tat he was out ic opposition t> Mr. Sifton and all his works? We think it much more likely that the gevernment votes were cast for the Sifton candidste.

NO AMOUNT of brilliant advertising will make a fraud finally successful. Men are fools to try it. As for us we mereiy tell a tame truth aud say Adamsen’s Botanic Balsam 18 splendid for coughs. 25c. All druggists.
