The events OF the past two years have
placed us In position wheEs the utter
ances OF our statesmen get moro atten-
ton than they used to reoeive. We are
not - isolated as We were once and
therefore there is greater need Of oircun
specsion In our u,tersnoss In regard to
outssions In WHOM foreign powers ara
concerned. We can give vent neither to
our ~ mpathies nor cur suspicious an we
once could. Statesmen should bear this
in mird when they are moved to intro
duos resolutions In favor Of the Beers q
to intimate shat the Germans may have
designs ID south America.

Il was expected that the Beers would
make a stand at Krooustad. Instead Of
shat they fisd prscipitateiy and Lord
Roberts entered witnou rssiftsnoe. TIE
Transyaa lers have now fallen back late
their own territory, and the Orange Fres
State is practically swept clean. 1t seem
TO bs pretty clear that nearly all the Free
State troops have deserted and returned
to their homes. and that henceforth the
Transvaaiers will have to rely entirely
upon their own resources. 1t Is exceed
inRly doubtful II unaidsd they can op-
pose IS, 600 troops to Lord Roberts's army.
In which case they viii be able to offer no
serious resistance until Pretoria Is
reached. Then behind their Notifications
which are very strong they can hold tas
English in oheok, for some time. But the
most they can do is to postpone the day
of surrender; SO 1t would not tie strange
II recognizing the hoplessnefs OF the
struggle, they should spare Pretoria tins
horrors Of . siege by captivating before
the city was reached by the Englist

GERMANY AND THE MONROE DOC.

audience, which was of course not only
Shs people within the sound OF his voice
hut the whole country, of tho need OF In
srsasing the army. Senator Lodges pur-
pose was to show the need OF enlsrging
Shs navy. Secretary Root has since
denied that he was In possession Of any
evidence that any such attack as he pro-
pnesied as possible was In actual oontem-
pIation. He was simply urging the nec-
sssity Of preparing for all contingencies.
and an assault upon the Monroe doctrine
was one OF the contingencies which he
thought might possibly arise. But Sena-

can hasdly be explained away In that
manner. Either he if, or thinks be
