advantage. Sir Charles Warren's
opinion that miles OF adjacent Boer

cepted by most expert observers as
obviously true, because Of the height
OF the position. but some point out
that it may lack definite gun plat
form to resist artillery fire from two
extended sides. 1t is not likely that
General Warren will let go anything
he holds and news OF further success
Is calmly awaited. Military authnri-
ties recognize, Of course. that In the
II or 10 miles between Spi0n kop and
Ladysmith there are continuous de-
fensiye positions and elusive hills and
ravines which are far out OF range of
Spion kop, but they are sare that the
