Boston TRANSCRIPT

Rightly or wrongly. England's colonial
secretary is regarded as mainly respon.
sible for the South African war. Ii IL
quite true that MIR Chamberlain's sin.
gle vote could not have brought on this
terrible and unhappy conflict, the nat.
ure and extent of which no man can
now measure But, while the Salisbury
cabinet consists Of nineteen members
II must be borne In mind that the -four
men who constitute the inner cabinet
and really govern England-whose opin
ions must be had on all momentous
questions-aTe the premier and Mr.
Balfour the Duke Of Devonshire and
Mr.. Chamberlain; and Of these four
the colonial secretary has the most az.

had the privilege of reading some very
complimentary biographical notices Of
himself. He was reported as having
been killed at Harvey. Kansas, and the

him. Now he announces that so far
as he is concerned, the alleged murder
is a canard--that nobody even tried to
kill him. But none will try to take back
the compliments paid him.

What possible chance has Dom Paul
against such a force? Even one-third
OF this strength would greatly out
number the Beers, and from present in
dications II is evident that Great Brit
ain is determined to carry the point in
the controversy with her antagonists,
even II it takes her entire army to do
so.
President Kruger Is said to be willing
to quit fighting at any time. Rumor
has It that the American consul. Ma
crum is on his way TO Washington as
the bearer of an earnest appeal from
the Transyaal president to President
Mckinley, in behalf Of a cessation Of
hostllities. II so, 1t is evident the Beers
are not In the war for the fun Of IT, or
because they are fond OF military duty
But It is not probable that any appeal
from Washington would turn Great
Britain back from the path Of conquest
Whenever President Kruger obtains
peace, II will be on the terms dictated In
London, unless by a miracle the course
Of events is changed. Great Britain Ia

ENGLAND's ARMY.

The Chicago Herald presents
some interesting figures, illustrating the
strength OF Great Britain at this time
The calculation is from a German rep
resentatIon Of the armies and navles OF
the present and is based on the number
OF men brought under arms In the war
Of 1909.
AT that time the total population con-
sisted Of 1882, 6i6 souls, and the actual
war strength was s2l $50 men. The pres
ent population is estimated at 100000.
and the war strength should. according
to the proportion OF 1903, be 100000 In
the British isles alone.
The actual army strength available
for war purposes Is somewhat smaller,
being estimated as follows:

SHORTAGE OF CITY FUNDS.
Officials Deplore Lack Of Money for
improvements.

Tho heads OF the various departments of
the municipal government are much
wrought up over the lack of money to
carry on the work of the departments this
year.
Each city official claims that never before
were improvements in his department so
badly needed, and that the pitifuliy small
appropriation that Is given him In the gem
eral appropriation bin as II now stands will
be totally inadequate even to keep up re-
pairs and current expenses, to say nothing
of much needed improvements. Nor is this
all 1t Is certain that many. if not all. OF
the appropriations as they now stand will
have to be reduced before the bill becomes
a law. for. as stated by Mr.. Hodges. when
the bill was first brought UP for discussion.
It makes no provision for streets and parks
and after July 1 there will be not dollar
for the maintenance of the street and park
departments for repairs, improvements or
any other expense connected with the
streets and parks. The hole thus left In
the bill Is a considerable one. 1t Is estimat-
ed that not less than s225. 900 will be needed
for those two departments SO far unpro-
vided- for. In order to I'LL this hole other
appropriations must be further reduced.
