The length to which the Boer war
has gone without results Of decisive
surt will help to reconcile the Ameri-
can public TO the minor delays which
narked the beginning Of the Spanish
war. BY comparison we did very well
indeed. II Is now about three months
since the Transvaal' crisis became
acate and at that time there we're sup
posed to be $4,000 British troops in
South Africa and material for half as
many more recruits. The way was
open to speedily augment that force
from India. Australia and Great Britain
itself and something OF the kind was
tried. Yet at the end of quarter of
year the war is in the hands Of the
Beers, the relief Army Corps is not
yet In sight of the besieged posts in
Natal and Sir Redvers Butler has yet
20 0esh his sword. There has been a
failure to connect which, while It
does not cali for rebuke under the cir
cumstances. justifies the American peo-
pho In thinking that their own military
delays in the summer OF 1898 were not
20 serious after all.
Rapid mobilization is only practi-
cable in military nation with a SOL
dier-autocrat at the head OF the army.
Great Britain, though warlike, is not
military; the same is true of the United
States. Germany. France and Russia,
IN the other hand, are military to the
core. II was related Of Won Moltke

the old warrior turned over to finish

Prussian army and its German allies
would be starting for Alsace. Every
thing had been prepared long before
the orders written, the transportation
and food provided and the routes
marked out. Before France fairly
realized what was happening the Prus-
sian eagles were shadowing the Rhine.

and vigorous action. The Board Nigh:
begin with the m!crobe pond at the
corner Of Queen and River streets.
That would make an excellen: test
case. The pond needs TO be drained
into Underwater near at hand. its space
then to be filled with sand and dirt.
Left as 1t is 1t will be.a menace to pub
lie health. yet its reclamation is not
properly charge on the public purse.
OF course the Board cannot stop the
york in hand to fight out the legal as
poets OF responsibility in Chinatown
but it can make some test case. II
the pond nuisance is too big a one to
start with try something less threat
ering. But let us see II there is no
virtue in the law under which the
Board is bound to deal with nuisances
We are glad to note that President
Dole has come promptly to the side OF
the people in this matter.
