Responding to the Call.

London, Dec. 18-The war Offices,
announcement calling Tor strong
force of volunteers ior South Africa is
being responded to in gallant fashion.
Offers to serve are pouring in from
whole regiments and thousands of it,
dividuals. 10 Edinburgh today an ar
tillery troop of 800 was organized in
two hours. The war Office explains
today that the appointment of Field
Marshal Lord Roberts does not reflect
on General Butler, who will be
too closely occupied with the campaigo
in Natal to supervise the general British
advance movement in Cape Colony.
London, Dec. 18.-There is general
satisfaction in England over the new
war plan to be inagurated in South
Africa, and the appointment of Field
Marshal Lord Roberts, together with
that of General Lord Kitchener, is
strongly approved in all quarters. The
vigorous action of the war Office in
meeting the emergency in South Africa
has mitigated the fear prevalent since
the news of Buffers defeat 1t is esti
mated that at least fifty thousand men
will be added to the force already 10
South Africa or en- route thither, which
will give General Roberts an army Of
something like 100000 men. In order
to expedite the transportation of the
volunteer reenforcements to the Cape,
more swift steamers will be chartered
and it is expected that by six weeks,
at the latest, General Roberts's new
army will be modified in Cape Colony,
and the second South African campaign
will be begun.

In FIGHTING for their independence,
the Beers are infinitely better situated
than the Confederates were nearly for
ty years ago, as their invaders have to
recruit their depleted armies from q
base thousands of miles away, whereas
the Yankees could recruit theirs just
outside the Confederate lines. There
is a vast difference between fighting at
a short and a long distance from the
base of supplies.
