THE WAR SITUATION.

Tar news that Ladysmith ie well sup- plied with provisiuns, and the knewledge that Geveral White is sill able to offer an effective defence, will probably iaflu- ence Lord Roberts to hold General Bu!ler’s hand until the success of an assault upen the enemy’s works on the Tugela is aseur- ed, and until he shall have orgaaized his forces fur an advasce upon Bloemfontein, which seems to be his inteation.

OPINION IN ENGLAND.

me gee

Lospos, January 11.—A. J. Balfour, the government leader in the house ef commons, ata luncheon yesterday, repu- diated the accusation tuat he wae a “ihick and thin supporter of the war office.” Ii an ange! from Heaven told him it was possible in @ great war to carry out every- thing a8 written out on paper he should know that the tbe angel was ilrawipg up- Oo his imagination, It was not true that the war office had sent the Britieth arm into the field with guns which placed them at a hopeless disadvantage with their enemies. He did not claim that the army system wae perfee!, but the critics ought not to ignore the extraordinary military problems of the present war, between

tinental headquarters had to deal there was 0 parallel: For the first time in bie- tory of the world the couniry hud to meet an enemy entirely mounted, and it was true that if Great Britain had entered into the war with avast number of mounted sold- iers it would have been long before con- cluded. Hereafter it would be recognized that gues were not as mobile as horse soldiers and that field artillery must b; part of the regular equipment of every army. But seeing that the British War Uilice had not Jagged behind the best mili- tary Opinivo of the day it was not just to charge it with want or preecience. He was sure justice would be done in time to the administrative system ofthe army. The last thing the government desired was any undue concealment ef unpleasant facts.

STEAMSHIP WANTED.

Tr euggestion of the ex-President of the Board of Trade that the merchants and people of P. E.Island should them telves obtain a steamship suitable for our trade with Great Britain is worthy of con- sideration. We shall not, probably, have & service satisfactory to this province until we havea steamship controlled in the The enterprise is Ove in whieh our merebants might, we

mote their owa interests as we!las those of the people at large. It is certain that if they owned a steamship at this momen; there would be a little fortune in her. For that very reason it will be difficult to obtain one just pow or in the near future. But the matter is ome t> be borne in mind. Ia the meantime we hope that the efforts which Sir Louis Davies is said te be put. ting forth to procure a steamship to sail between this province aod Great Britaia next summer, will be euccessful.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

We Wish all

When such ardent conservative papers as the Times and Globe come out boldly with reproot, there is no knowing where the agitation will end. For the moment

Mr. Balfour is the Scapegvat, but there is a terrible rod in pickle for the Marquis of Landsowne, while Lord Salisbury and other cabinet ministers will not escape uu- less a wonderful change comes over the war situation,

A representative of the Associated Press learns tbat the censervative leaders privately admit the gravity of their posi- tion but fail tosee whatcan be done. In the meantime, they hope that success in the field will abate the popular clamor. Some of the conservative papers go so far as to regret the extreme age of the cabinet ministers and refer to the cabinet as & body of patriarchs. Under these cirs cumstances it is deubtful whether events transpiring between mow and the re-as sembliag of parliament will be powerful enough to restore confidence im the govern- mentaed maintain its majority. There 18 the iwportant alternative that Lord Lansdowne or Lord Wolseley may be eac- rificed. A represeatative of the Asao- ciated Prees learns that Lord Woleeley not only disapproved ef Lord Roberis’ appointment to the chief command of the British troops in South Africa, but allowed his disapproval to be geoeraliy known, and that itis a facti: at he kvew

nothing of the government’s decision in this respect until hesaw the announce- ment of the appointment in the news-

papers. It is said that if it should ever come toa public disagreement between the commander-in-chief and the secretary of state for war it would be a fight far more hitter than then the one waged be- tween Generale Alger and Miles. Wha- ever ensuce,the immediate future will doub:le+s see attacks on the goverament euch as Lord Salisbury has not had to withstand during the course of his political career.
