the most tremendous issues. Of little wars there are enough and to spare. There is never a day passes that men are not fighting and killing each other somewhere In this wide world.

Troops are now moving to the front in Egypt to again engage in contest with the fierce tribes of the Soudan, and although the first brunt of the battle will fall on the soldiers of the Khedive, "still they are officered by Englishmen, the reserves consist of English regiments, the respon- sibility for this forward movement rests, entirely on the English Government, and it may easily lead to a severe and long continued struggle which may cost many lives and much treasure. In South Africa the Matabele are making a last and desperate fight for their indepen- dence, and volunteers from the Cape and Captain P.
