EARLY AFRICAN WAR NEWS


British wax Ofnce Oinctnis Deny Report
Published In This Country-Stories
Concerning Mcthuen's Mental Com
dition-some wild Reports from Natal
London Jan. 11.1-The officials Of the
war office here deny the report, publish
ed In the United States. that General
Lord Methuen has been recalled.
Even the announcement of the arriv-
al yesterday Of Field Marshal Lord
Roberts and General Lord Kitchener at
Cape Town has failed to stem the grow
ing impotence of the country at -he
prolonged inactivity In the main British
camps, and the entire absence OF news
giving an adequate insight into the
local situation. The public and press
being unable to form any just judgment
as to the actual position OF affairs,
stories are rife that inaction is enforced
on General Butler owing to the OK
haustion of the reserves of ammunition,
and there are even wild rumors of a
scarcity Of shells at home.
Not much Importance need be attach
ed to these rumors. 1t is generally as
sumed that with the landing of Roberts
and Kitchener a prompt return Will be
made to the original plan of campaign,
namely great central advance on
Bloemfontein. But the most impatient
of the enthusiasts admit that General
Roberts will be unable to move before
the end of the month.
Up to the time of filing this dispatch
no news of any importance had been
received to-day from South Africa.
There was a rumor current later in
the day that battle was progressing
at the Tugela River, but nothing could
be obtained in corroboration of the re-
port.

That very grave and usually pro-
found writer, c. c. Goodwin, Of
the Salt Lake Tribune, attempts to
create smile at the expense Of
those who honestly and conscien>
tiously have become fearful of the
perpetuity of our republican form
OF government. He fails to see
anything in our present condition
which has any similarity to condi
tions preceding the fall of ihe Ro-
man republic. If Mr.. Goodwin
was an authority of last resort, we
might all of us brush aside those
misgrvings and those impressions
forboding evil. which the student
of ancient and modern history cans
not Danish from his mind. His
primal argument meant 10 reassure
US, that our conditions are totally
dissimilar, is that slaves in chains
guarded the doors OF the Roman
patrcian. Perhaps the slave who
stands at the doors of the great rich
in this country has chain which
YIELDS him more tightly to his mas
ter, than ever chain attached to
Roman slave-the bondage, the
chain of debt. Mr.. Goodwin was
simply playing on fancy to present
such proofs in defense Of imoerial-
ism. Mr.. Goodwin is too great a
student OF biblical and political hiss
tory to not realize that his "chain"
business was only a figure of
speech, uttered to catch the unwary.
If we are not treading right now on
most dangerous ground, the signs
of the times are awry and men are
blind.

Less than twenty thousand miles
of good wagon roads in the coun-
try are the official figures Of the
statitsician. Every unemployed man
in the country, who would work
could be employed in the next five
years in constructing roadways,
before the sum total OF good roads
would equal the railway mileage Of
the country 100000 miles. 1t
cannot be called a blunder of the
people that no more or better roads
exist, but simply matter of indif>
ference is responsible. AS wealth
and luxury increases. however
there is disposition to secure bet>
ter roads, to benefit all. Good roads
associations are springing up in all
the rural sections Of the country
and we believe that the influence
of these associations; using the
camera to secure views of roads to
make the public sick at the spec
tacle and because the people de-
mand them, the next few years
good roadway mileage will be
greatly increased.

An unfortunate failing with many
editors is that they class their
readers as a set of chumps. The
average newspaper reader, who
follows the work done on any par

distinguish the ear marks Of the
same writer, in any matter which
he has or may attempt to write,
