THE WAR.
As will be seen from the telegrans which we publish to-day, the name of ROBERTS; appears to spell success and his onward, march towards Pretoria continues unchecked. We have now, completely turned the tables upon the Boers, but only, by great exertions and at a tremendous cost of blood and money. We do not think that we are wrong
in saying that no other European Power would have been equal to the task. Not that they have not the necessary force, for their forces are, as a rule, much larger than our own, but for the simple reason that to aber Power could have supplied such an immense the transport for force in the time in which we have done So. This should be an object lesson to all, and doubtless will be, and we trust that it will have the effect of inak- ing the British public generally see the necessity of maintaining British supremacy ai sen; not only in the matter of warships but in that of merchant ships as well. Our merchant navy has been just as great a factor in saving the situation as has our war nary, and it should not be permitted to decline,

MR. KIPLING'S Muse might find many subjects in the present war, but few more touching than the act of the dying soldier on the field of Colenso, recorded in the interesting letter published in The British Medical Journal from Mr. Frederick Trevés, Consulting Surgeon to the Forces. The wounded man, though fatally injured, and almost unable to speak from the dryness of his mouth, said to the orderly who was bringing hin some water. Takait to my pal first, is worst hit than me." It was not so for the writer finishes the story, "This generous lad died next morning, but his pal got through and is doing well." Sir Philip Sidacy is immortalised by a similar act, but this poor private died "unhonoured" and unsung," his supreme self-abnegation receiving its meed of praise only from the sympathetic surgeon who chanced to witness it, and who mentioned it as an illustration of the unselfishness of which he saw many instances. "On all sides (her says) there is evidence that our soldiers behaved splendidly on the field, and I can say that when brought back wounded they were plucky, patient, and uncomplaining.".

naturally leads to the people getting the idea that foreigners will receive no protection throughout, the Empire and we may conse quently look for an increase of anti-foreign outrages at no late date. Indeed, as was pointed out the other day by our Tientsin Correspondent, matters already seem to have reached a pretty pass in the north, where, the rabidly anti-foreign secret suciety of the Boxers is openly defying the authorities, if not secretly fostered by them. This method of annoying foreign Powers is well known to the Dowager, who, while outwardly purporting to be against all anti-foreign outrages secretly protects the perpetrators and so incites them, to further deeds of violence. The decree abolishing all westerni
Empire will tend also to stir up the old contempt and hate for the foreigner. The bulk, of the Chinese are still so backward as to be of the opinion that "the king can do no wrong" and, therefore, what the ruling hand smites so must they. It is high time that steps were taken to curb this blood-thirsty old woman, but we fear that the jealousy of the various Powers be a bar to concerted action.
