ALARM IN ENGLAND.
Beers Claim Cronje Fought
Roberts to a Standstill.
THEBURGHERs WERE REINFORCED.
The British Commanders Apparently In
complete Casualty List Causes Anxiety.
If He Sent News of Fighting, 1t Was
Not Made Public.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-Lord Roberts list

Guiding two generals, in the engage
ments up to Sunday evening, causes
al ety, especially as in the officers list,
neither the losses Of the Welsh and Es-
sex regiments nor those of the mounted
infantry are included. This is about the
number that fell at Colenso, where the
non commissioned officers and men
brought the total losses 10 300.
1t is considered strange this when
sending his casualties, Lore Rob
erts gives ne information as to the result
Of the fighting. If he has sent such q
report the war office is Withholding it
Moreover, nothing is known as TO
what took place Monday, Tuesday and
yesterday. This absence of details from
Lord Roberts dispatch contrasted with
his rather full narratives during the
first part Of his operations produces UNI
easlness among military observers.
Among the comments of the morning
papers, both editorial and critical, is
threaded with the disturbing suggestion
that, despite hard fighting, General
Cronje has been able to beat off his pur
suers, has escaped and is being rein
forced by rail from Ladysmith and by
forces ON foot and horseback from
Northern Cape Colony, as well as the
late beleaguers of Kimberley.
As the correspondents with Lord Rob
erts are silent the the kilograms from
Boer sources receive some countenanee.
The latter aver that General Cronje,
while the British We're endeavoring to
surround bin between Paardeberg and
Koodoosand, received achievements
under Dewet and that together the
Beers fought the British to a standstill.
However all this may be, public opin-
ion here will not be treasured until the
war office exhibits explicit statements of
success

dertaken or contemplated any interven-

The presidents present position is
said to be precisely as stated in the fol-
lowing sentence, extracted from his an
nual message to congress:
"We have remained faithful TO the
precept of avoiding entangling alliances
as to affairs not of our direct concern.
Had circumstances suggested then that
the parties to the quarrel would have
welcomed any kindly expression of the
hope Of the American people that war
might be averted, good offices would
have been gladly rendered.

the presidents statement may be found

THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS.

The Chicago Record puts a great
deal in small compass when it says:
Every man has a right to decide
whether he will accept work for the
wages and under the conditions that
exist at the mines. Whenever he is
not satisfied with either he has the
perfect right to quit. But, in like
measure, every man who chooses to go
on working has the right to decide for
himself whether he shall do so.
That is a position which The Ad-
vertIser has steadfastly maintained. A
man may quit work if he violates no
contract by quitting, but he must not
force his fellow workmen to quit, he
must not iniure the employers prop
erty, nor must he prevent that en-
pIoyer from obtaining other labor. The
right to strike which A claims may
be granted, but B. has an equally
strong and valid right to keep on at
work. One right is as good and as
inYulnerable as the other, and until
both these rights are conceded and
acted on strikers will receive no SYM
pathy from right thinking people,

LITTLE CHANGE IN SITUATION

The unequi7ocal stand taken by the
Government of the United States in the
Chinese matter will set the powers to
thinking, and may result in an entire
realignment of the allies.
The cables Say that France, Austria
and Italy have practically agreed to
the Germany proposals, and that Great
Britain and Japan will probably agree.
This leaves only the United States and
Russia, and the former has declared
itself.
The position taken by Lord Salisbury
VIII undoubtedly decide the issue, and
while the British Premier realizes that
nothing short of stern measures will
suffice to bring the Chinese to terms, he
may, in order to prevent further blood
shed, decide to throw himself on the
side of the United States, or, at least,
ask Germany to modify her demands.
Until Lord Salisbury speaks, therefore,
the situation is a dangerous one, and
certain to continue to excite the atten-
ton of the world.

The Chattanooga Times is CROWNS

The Chattanooga Times is growing

Where did Croker get the $50, 600 he
has bet against 1926, 900 that Bryan will
be elected2 he has engaged IN no
visible employment or business for
twenty years. Where did he get it?
To ask professional politician and
boss where he gets his money is al
most as personal as asking the aver
age country darkey where he got all
his chickens. And the idea of charg-
ing that he has ''no visible employ
ment, lis amusing. To those who have
kept up with New York city politics,
Cookers employm ent has been as visi-
BILE as has Gould's or Sage's. And to
suppose that he gets no profit out of
his political manipulation is like sup
posing that Rockefeller would conduct
his immense business without getting
a share of the proceeds. Certainly he
has "visibIe employment.
