Mr. Spenser Wilkinson: writing in the National Review an!! Mom! Factors in the War," makes an analysis of the factors which go to mate up the military spirit in tlie conmandant of a Cossack regiment, has been tending armies. War is an affair of the soul the predominant partner in the business is the mind or spirit, and it is the collective traditions of individuals which made up the fighting appointinent was going, (shys the Pioneer) that awarded the highest.

THE MORALE OF THE BOERS.
Mr. Spenser Wilkinson, finds that in this spirit the British are superior to their adver. sary. He says:~
The Boer living on his farm has spiritual backbone made up of the elementary ideas of a half-developed community--thefamily, the clan, and the country. But he has hardly 'a matured conception either of justice or of freedom, and his love of country is based upon a very short history. His patriotism is negative rather than positive; it is a bias against the foreigner rather than a conception of the State as something to live and die for. So little has the thought of the State or community penetrated die average Boer that he has never quite grasped the duty of paying the taxes. The idea of military duty has not grown beyond the first stage; it has produced a readiness to light and to die, but no. systematic view such as gives cohesion to an army. On October 21st Continandant Joubert telegraphed to Pretoria: "Commandant Lucas Meyer has had an engagement with the British at Dundee. Meyer made a plan of campaign by messenger with Commandant Erasnius, who, however, did not put in an appearance. Evidently the notion of cohesion, of subordina. tion, of discipline, has not yet conse to form an essential part of the Boer's moral skeleton. The tie which binds one Boer. to another is com paratively weak
THE MORALE 'OF THE BRITISH.
The British are in a different condition. In their mental world, the idea of Great Britain fills an immense place. Their lives are to a great extent made up of co-operation in all the various forms which I have enumerated as the sources of our stock of thoughts. The con- sciousness that one thought is at this moment being thought in Great Britain, in Austmalla, Canada and India, lifts up every man who shares, and this kind of consciousness has been developed from generation to generation, cach successive period of war having streng- thened it, till it found its perfect expression in Nelson's signal at Trafalgar. This aspect of the national idea has its embodiment in the naval and military services. The Bruish officer lives his professional life in the atmosphere of a "cervice and in the idea of service. When war begins he is absorbed in service; it mands him, and he has caught from his military community the habit of taking death cheerfully when it comes in the course of the day's duty. This belonging to a world of developed ideas, to a civilised nation, is a power of itself, to which the membership of a balf-organised com- munity with no store of recorded deeds furnishes scarcely an adequate-counterpart.

(2) WHAT WE CONTEND WITH. The Looker-on" in Afachaillan's devotes some pages to a very intelligent survey of the South African problem. He thinks tlie 70,00 troops may bave many greater tasks to under- take than the conquest of the Transvaal, and gives an innumerable list of complications that may ensue. It is pleasant to find a writer who, while convinced of the justice of the war, has at once the honesty to recognise the real asture of the problem, the usnerosity to plead for moderation, the wisdon to see its absolute necessity, and the good manners to conden the baseness masquerading everywhere in the guise of patriotiam. It may be taken that if all those who believed in the justice of a war with the Transvaal had similar moderation and decency there would have been no war at all. Speaking of the anticipations of a speedy peace fostered by the victory at Glencoe, he says
There are two things against that expecta tion! not alone the coldly ferocious obstinacy of the Boer in a quarrel, but the desperation of the case for that people when they look be- yond defeat. This particularly has a great in terest for us, on account of its inconvenience for ourselves. Did we look with their eyes beyond defent, we should see nothing but the worst humiliation, the worst misfortime con- ceivable to their minds; the rest is thick darkness. Now, their obstinacy may be a brutal fault (we think differently of it as a branch characteristic grown in Eritain), and their view of the life for them after defeat may seem unreasonably pessimistic; yet if the product of these feelings is a desperation of recklessness, of violence, likely to infuriate the animosity of race yet more and heighten the difficulties of future government, it becomes a merely selfish duty to find some means of Appeasement.
The prevailing flood of cant," he declares, sickens him :-
"I stop to read confirmatory news of the sorious first engagement, with its fine success for our side, its radiant witness to the courage of our soldiery and the devotion of its officers mixed up (the newspaper reporters will have it 10) with jeers at chicken-hearted Boers who cannot face cold steel, Ah, what a pity that patriotism can be so atrociously mouthed and parodied and riarketed |
(3) THE LESSON OF 1881.
In Macmillan's Magazine for November there is an article by Major Pearas on "The Lesson of 1881," which is little more than a history of the campaign of that year, the only lesson being that over-confidence should never be allowed to interfere with due precautions. The same number contains an article by #Templar on "The State Buzerainty," which is wholly legal and--historical, and throws no light whatever on the present dispute.

MEE CHEUNG,
An Old Campaigner," writing in the Con temporary under the title of “Glencoe, Eland- slaagte, Mafeking," gives an intelligent survey of the state of military affairs in the invaded territory. As his article will certainly be out of date before this notice can appear, I restrict myself to noting his recommendation as to the (reatment of the problem of a native attack on the Boer Republics. He agrees, of course, that the natives are not to be allowed to attack; but notice should be given to the Boers that they must not Invade Zululand or Basutoland, and the native chiefs must be instructed to resist any such invasion. If such an errange. ment could be effected the advantage would be obvious; but it is plain that the Boer comman- ders could not be expected to give such an undertaking without an undertaking from our side not
use those territories for the
Letodións Preinites, to'oclipse, as heretofore, purpose of invading the Republics. Though writing under the immediate influence of the ALL-PHOTOGRAPHIC ART PRACTICED victories at Glencoe and Elandslagte, then the Colony or in any part of the Far East.
Campaigner does not think that the immense forces we are placing in the field will be one too many. It is pleasant to read the following paragraph of the general whom the swash-buckling libellers in the press expect to execute their bebests of vengeance **" It is a question for the future to determine whether the war,will heal up all the sores that
