THE WHITE MANS BURDEN
(Rudyard Kipling.)

Take up the White Mans burden
Send forth the best we breed
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait, in heavy harness.
On fluttered folk and wild
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Mans burden
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show Of pride;
BY open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To seek another's profit
And work another's gain.
Take up the White Mans burden
The savage wars Of peace
Fill full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal Is nearest
(The end for others soughU
Watch slOth and heather folly
Bring all your hopes to nought.
Take up the White Mans burden
No iron rule of kings,
But toll of serf and sweeper
The tale of common things.
The ports We shall not enter,
The roads we shall not tread,
Go, make them with your living
And mark them with your dead.

Interviews in Germany.

The Germans are 4 slow people, and
it is only natural and fitting that Ger
man papers should be slow when
judged by our standards. The Chicago
Times Herald illustrates the difference
by giving q Berlin reporters account
of an interview which he had the other
day with cX-President Harrison. The
reporter confcsses in the introduction
to his published report of the interview
that H. had doubts as to his ability t.

Of international interest, but he went

The ENGLISH ReverSes.

There is not the slightest doubt that
the English army under General White
at I.adysmith is up against tough
proposition. 1t is outnumbered by the
surrounding forces of Beers, and rein
forcements are still affair." The enemy
is brave, we'll equipped and under eX-
ceptionally able leadership. The dis
aster of Tuesday when a whole British
brigade, estimated at about 1000 men,
was intercepted and captured by the
Beers, has caused something like
that the campaign in South Africa is
not any pleasure excursion.
Not since the battle of New Orleans,
Jan. s, 1915, has such decided reverse
met British arms. Not in all the years
since then has a British regimental
flag been surrendered to n civilized
enemy. The regiments captured iues-
day. were trained veterans, ana Eng
land knows they only gave up AFTER 4
traditions of the organizations Iheir
canture means a loss of about one
sixth of the effective English force at
Jadvsmith. and General White will
find that it also means large amount
of announcement and decentralization
in his army and renewed confidence
and determination in the Beers. The
prestige Of the victory will help Presi-
dent Kruger before the world. 1t was
the first important battle and the
British were defeated.
But this reverse cannot affect the
final result 1t does not even mean
that the fate of Ladysmith is settled
The English force will soon have i'm
portant achievements and instead of
being on the defensive Will soon take
an aggressive attitude. But until help
reaches him General White has a diff
cult task before him. He must hold
his position against large odds, at any
cost. His fatal blunder of Tuesday,
although acknowledged in such manly
fashion. has made a loud call in Eng
