The general tone of the morning papers
10 that his figures win astonish the 90 un-
try. Roughly srsakins only 5000 men
are ~ ths front Ten thousand others
have been lost and 10000 are shut up at

who have not yet bssn In action In sddi.
tion 10 those 81 sea. Why 20 many sffsc-
lives have not yet been engaged 10 ex-
planned By the lack Of land transporta-
tion and the organization Of supplies. to
which Lord Roberts IL devoting his ex-
psrisnoe and Lord Kitchener his genius
for details.
It seems ~ though the weight OF thess
masses must. destroy thu equilibrium
which now holds the Br itch forces
stationary wherever thsy are In contact
with the Boer army.
Lack OF transport and organization Will
not explain adequately why. when gen.
erals at the front request rsinforcements.
they get them In rather small numbers.
Knowiedgs is slowly penetrating to Lon
don that largs aarrisons must be kept In
Cape Colony to hold down the Cape
Dutch, who. as everyone Knows. outnum-
bar the British residents three 90 one.
Gable scraps received during the last
twelve hours do not further illup,inats
the military operations. Various indie
psndsnt correspondents confirm the re-
port that General Butler told his troops
OH January 2s that he hoped to relieve
Lady ysmith within a week. 1t is believed
in some trust worthy quarters that he lie
again assailing the Boer lines.
A further list of casualties published by
the war office brings the total from the
crossing of the TugelA to the abandon
msnt Of Spion kep TO 1885 officers and
men.
Exceptional activity at the navy yards
continues, but correspondent Of the
Associsted Press learns tna. this 10 chief
ly new construction and refltting work
Three ships will be commissioned at
Dsvon Port this morning.
Some unpleasant criticism of the war
office has been caused by the discovery
that the sights of the Lee-End field oarbines
are defective. Old oarbiues have been
supplied to the outgoing fourth brigade
Of cavalry.
The only announcement regarding fresh
military pre- parations Is the formation
Of three additional batteries.

WHY,


There are a good many people who
acknowledge that their eyes ale weak
ana feel overworked, and that they
ought to wear glasses and yet won't
do 1t. They will even take chances
of injuring their eyes permanently
rather than submit to them. I could
never understand this feeling. 1t is
not because they are unbscoming for
they can be made becoming with .
little taste and skill on the part OF
the optician. 1t Is not because they
injurs the eyes for they strengthen
and preserve them. 1t Is NOT because
they are sign OF old age for hun
dreds of little children wear them. 1t
is not because they are q bother. for
the ease and comfort that they give
the eyes more than outweighs any
Inconvenience there may bs In wear
ing them. II your eyes need glasses
do not postpone the matter . mo

know whether you need glasses come
