In a speech in which he vigorously de-
nounced ''the ignorant arrogance Of the In
vader." dwelling on the fact that Sir Alfred
Milner. in spite OF herculean eXertions. was

volunteers in all parts Of the empire who
wish to be sent to the front / am proud Of
the sailors. soldiers and volunteers. who are
all on guard We have hard work before
US. for our foe is brave, ana 1t is no mimic
warfare In which we are engaged. When
one reads Of the work which our local forces
in Natal have done in the past few weeks.
one must deem them worthy of standing
side by side with the best regulars.
I'VE at present have modified only one
army corps. consisting Of 5000 men. of
whom 44.ooo are already on the way to the
Cape. To-day orders have been sent to
mobilize another division and If called upon
by the minister to mobilize another army
corps we are prepared to do so.''

greeted with intense enthusiasm, prolonged
cheering and a general waving OF handker-
chiefs. The premier said:
'I have had to answer for many years
similar kind of receptions in this hall. but
me in appealing so confidently to your SYM
pathy and support as in the present grave
state OF public affairs. Before turning to
this serious point. my duty is to inform
you that our situation is South Africa is
the only part OF our relations with other
nations TO which any term of apprehension
or doubt can be applied.
For several years our relations with and
cordial feelings toward our kinsmen on the
other side of the Atlantic have been con-
stantly growing. and though neither we in
terfere IN the affairs OF their continent nor
they interfere in the affairs of ours, we
feel We can now always look for sympathy
and fair hearing among those who share
with US so vast a mission for the advance
ment of mankind.
But perhaps you think l am sanguine
in saying that on the continent of Europe
We have 10 hostility TO fear. There is un-
doubtedly certain acerbity Of tone among
the writer's for the foreign press, but do
not believe that the trend of this opinion
affects The peoples OF foreign nations. 1 am
quite certain IL does not affect their gov
ernments. and / will say that l have noted.

reason why the German people and govern

but they do, and We are very glad 10 FIND
the means whereby. without in the Least
diminishing the rights and advantages Of
England. we are able to crafty their view.
