MUST END IN WAR.
Apparent That British Omcials Consider
HostilitieaN Near in South Africa.

Aunarent That British On10ia1s Consider
Hostilities Near in south Africa.
LONDON, Aug. 23.-There is no longer
anv doubt that President Kruger has
refused to submit to the demand of Mr..
Chamberlain for the appointment OF a
court of inquiry. He may have done so
automatically or hedgingly. But that
his answer is regarded by the British
government as tantamount to positive
refusal is now an established fact. Inc
colonial Office is normally non.colnm't'
tai. but there are other evidences whlch
amply Justify the statement. Inc re-
mort that President Kruger has proposed
new terms is somewhat verified by the
ynarded commont Of the colonial ofhce
officials and the irritability displayed
there. There is no the slightest doubt
that they now
Believe War Is the Only Way
TO settle the controversy. They would
far rather have had a curt. defiant an
swer than the temporizing reply which
the Boer president has sent. With the
former Great Britain would have PLAIN
grounds for a quick commencement OF
hostilities. Under the circumstances.
which it is believed now exist. a grave
action needs considerable explanation
to justify it in the eyes of the world
and the English minority, who still de-
clare war Would be an outrage. How
ever. if Mr.. Chamberlain has his way,
it is believed President krugers coun-
t~er-proposals will meet with scant at
t~ention, and unless the Beers back
down. which is not likely, the CORE
spondence will quickly developinto wal.
1t has developed that the war Office has
been aware Of the nature of the Trans
yaal governments answer for several
days.
President Kruger Denounced.
A high colonial official expressed his
disgust at what he termed 'Kruger's
cupldity and Hypocrisy" He said:
The kind of game which Kruger is
PLAYING must be clear to Americans.
The prostestations Of the Beers that
they wish to live a quiet, agricultural
life may be the tune Of some of the
veldt. but the gang in Pretoria is sim
ply after money. Though President
Kruger says many harsh things of the
u%itlanders, he never hesitated to make
money out Of them. either by fair or
foul means. This Transvaal question
cannot be judged by recent occurrences.
You must go back 50 years. 1t has
been hanging fire all that time, and the
sooner il is settled now the better"
Though the official actually did not
say so. it was clear that he believed
war was the only method Of settlement.

no Storm" and shed its beams with
more kindly warmth than it has vouch-
safed us for many day. 1t set the snow
banks to shmmering and sparkling. IN
the sun, helped the weary shovelers with
it's melting beams, and generally behaved
as good suns should.
The local trains have been running
today, though the ong-distance ones
are, for the most part, awaiting more
propitious occasion to start. The ex-
press tracks are buried so deep in snow
that one wonders how they are ever to
be brought into view again.
To one class Of individuals the storm
has been godsend. The man who has
been out of work so long could seize a
shovel and pick and earn days wages
and make himself very useful in clearing
the sidewalks. The small boy, too, comes
in for a share of the work and the profits
thereof. Before light the doorbells be-
gan to ring and the question followed
the appearance of the maid at the door,
"Do you want your paths shovelled ~

daylight lasted.

how much good lay in seeming evil,
and to see how many men and boys
there were who were willing and anxious
to work
But think even the most optimistic
person hopes that we shall not have
such another storm for the remainder
of the season at least. F.F.

Clothing Of all Kinds Easily Dyed at Home.
The Question of Squirrel Inns.

The Church Temperance society is
about to realize its opportunity, we
hope, in the establishment of Squirrel
Inn in the Bowery, where there will be
the comforts of club and the refresh
ment afforded by restaurant, all with
out the accompaniment of liquor. selling.
We admit that such inns are not likely to
reclaim many drunkards. But is there
any extraneous power that will reclaim
many drunkards? We do believe, how
ever, that Squirrel Inns will prevent
drunkenness by keeping youth without
inherited appetite way from temptation.
We hope, therefore, that the Squirrel Inn
will have that immediate success which
will encourage Bishop Potter and his
associates, and we think that their ex-
pertinent will be all the surer of it's re-
ward if they see to it that the joys OF the
inn are not too drab. 1t is not always a
short road up to the intellectual joys of
ackgammo on, and therefore backgammon
kind of joy is not good one for sole
dependence at new Squirrel Inn.

quarterly. Its first editor was William
Tudor, and in it's general scope it was
modelled on the Quarterly Review oil
London.
Between 1916 and 1880 the Review
was edited successfully by Willard
Phelps, Edward Everett and Jared
Sparks. In 1917 it accepted and pub
Iished the most famous poem, "Thana-
topsis" of William Culln Bryant, then
but youth.
In 1880 Alexander H. Everett became
editor, and for the six years that he was
in charge, Longfellow W, Prescott, Bancroft,
and other distinguished writers were
among the contributors. DR.. John q.
Palfrey was the next editor, and during
his incumbency Ralph Waldo Emerson
was frequent contributor.
James Russell Lowell and Charles
Eliot Norton assumed control in 1864,
and at that time its writers were the
most eminent literary men in the country.
In 1876 the number of issues per year
was changed from four to six, and a
little later the Review was made a
monthly. Allen Thorndike Rice became
its owner, but died just after being APP
pointed minister to Russia, and Gen.
Bryce became the owner.
A change in the character Of the Review
has taken place in late years, and men
famous in politics and war have been
welcomed rather than men famous in
literature alone.
David A. Monroe, as president of the
North American Review Publishing COM
pany, secured control of the Review IN
1896.
Col. Harvey says: "The policy Of the
North American Review will be more
poignant in the future. Its articles will
be written by men of the hour. They
will be popular in their character, while
possessing at the same time dignity and
weight. expect to edit the magazine
and will follow the general lines laid
down by long list of illustrious prede-
cessors. There will be no change of form
or manner of review. There will be no
political partisanship."

Boston in the Snowstorm.
From our regular correspondent. }


The question OF the day here today,
Feb. IA, 90, seems to be not, "Have you
received valentine?' but Ibid you
manage to get home last night ?"
A more beautiful valentine can hardly
be imagined than the shimmering white
mantle which this morning enveloped
the earth. Drift upon drift it was piled
up, hiding, for time, all the blemishes
of the city.
But fear that last night few people
were able to think of the beauty, for the
inconvenience was a subject that APP.
pealed most strongly to the muttudes,
especially the poor suburbanites.
Your correspondent arrived at the
railway station after blowing for sew
eral blocks through the snowbanks in
the middle Of the road, even at that
time, 5 p. m, as that was the only
available place for pedestrians as well as
horses and cars, to find that no train
had left the station since the early after
noon, nor was one likely to leave for the
present.
A large company, ever increasing in
size, and perfectly good natured, crowded
into the little uptown station. Those
who couldn't get in paced the platform
outside.
AT length sound OF putting, painting
locomotive was heard. There was
sudden rush for the platform, distinct
feeling that the worst was past and we
should see our dear homes again; every
one took position for speedy jump only
to find that the cause of it all was a lone
engine sent to relieve stalled, incoming
train.
Before long several trains came by
which had been blocked each headed by
two, three or four powerful engines, but
no out. going train arrived,
At length, after nearly two hours OF
weary waiting the official announce
ment came.
There will be no train sent out for
two hours, at least"
The worst part of this message was
