reformers now so popular in high places who are quite willing to state many un- pleasant truths, but at the same time are very careful to keep them in the ab- stract He stated not only the truth, but showed wherein the injustice lay, and how justice might be established. He .said: T have taught, and I shall continue to teach, in speeches and writ ings as long as I live, that land is rightly the property of the people in common, and that private ownership of land Is against natural justice, no matter by what civil or ecclesiastical laws it may be sanctioned, and I would
 bring about instantly, if I could, such a change of laws all the world over as would confiscate private property in land without one penny of compensa- ton to the miscalled owners
 We have around us college presidents and professors, ministers of so-called liberal churches, who condemn this as unjust. Yet let 1t be remembered that his celebrated apology being submitted to four theologians of the Catholic uni versity at Washington, was pronounced to be not inconsistent with Catholic doctrines. He blended his religion with everyday life when he said: If land may be privately owned then God is the father of a few and the stepfather of all the rest" He touched the keynote of human brotherhood when he said:
 'The Single tax will make room at the Fathers table for all of His children"
 A spirited discussion followed during which number of interesting points were made. Among those who took part in the discussion were Attorney Willard D. Warren and Anthony Car roll

Addressed by William Trueman and lv Other Members.
 The New Haven Single tax club met in room 15 Insurance building. w. Tr,.eman, the president of the club, de-
 livered an address on "Dr McGlynn and the Single Tax" and said in part:
 The Rev. Dr. Burns of Toronto in a speech recently said that Christianity to-day was valuable only ward McGlynn was one of the greatest among the teachers of religion having the courage of his convictions, daring to speak what he knew to be truth. and fearless of criticism It would be diff flcult to name time in history when humanity had no prophets. AS one completes his labors another rises to carry on the work, and this man did his part nobly. Next to his work as a, priest came his work as a social reform CT, and he was broad enough to see that to contne religion to theology was fatal to religion. So, heroic man that he was, he set himself to work to solve the great problems of our time, namely Why is it that amid increas, Ing wealth gaunt poverty persists in rearing it's head? Why is it that the tramp comes with the locomotive? Why is IL that upon streets lighted with gas and patrolled by uniformed policemen begSars wait for the passer-by, and in the shadow of college and library and museum are gathered the more hideous Huns and fiercer vandals of whom Macauley prophesied?" In reply to such questions as these Dr. McGlynn had answers, keen critical, logical solu- tons in place of the inane platitudes one hears on every hand, and as re- suit the common people heard him gladly" He knew that to preach jus tice and practice injustice was worse than folly, so he said before justice can be had injustice must cease, And not eing one of those comfortable modern

EARLY AFRICAN WAR NEWS
ROBERTS REPORTS DEFEAT OF
 BOER REINFORCEMENT

Scattered With Heavy Losses-Cronje's
 Position Too Strong to Take by As- sauit-said to Have Asked an Armisti ce His Forces Barricaded in Their Laager-TerribIe Bom bn rdment. London, Feb. 22, 4:17 p. m.-The war office has received from Lord Roberts the following message, dated Paarde- berg, Wednesday, February 21:
 Yesterday afternoon I was satisfied, by a careful reconnaissance in force of the enemys position, that I could not assault it without very heavy loss, which I was most anxious to avoid.
 Accordingly I decided to lombard him with artillery and turn my atten- ton to the enemy's endorsements. The result was most satisfactory.
 "The Boers were driven off in all di- rections, losing a good many killed and wounded and about fifty prisoners, who say they arrived from Ladysmith two days ago by railroad. They also say it was our artillery fire which caused them to abandon the kopje they were occupy ing.
 Our loss was two officers-Captain Campbell of the Ninth Lancers, and Lieutenant Houston, of the artillery, and four men, all slightly wounded"

SOME FIERCE FIGHTING.

Indecisive and Prolonged Battle
 Boers Admit Loss of Eight Hundred.
 Paardeberg Drift, Orange Free State, Tuesday, Feb. 20, via the Modder River, Wednesday,, Feb. 21.-One of the costli- Paardeberg Drift Sunday, February IS. General Kelly-Kenny, in his pur- suit of General Cronje, caught ha rear guard at Kip Drift and followed the burghers to the Boers' laager at Koo- l doosrand.
 The drift action began at daybreak, the mounted infantry driving the Boer rear guard up the river toward the main body while another body of mounted infantry maneuvered on the right front and flank of the Boers.
 The British main body advanced to outfiank the Boers' laager on the north bank of the river. General Kelly-Ken- ny having seized two drifts found the Boers strongly inclosed and ordered an attack, with the Highland brigade on the left and General Knox's brigade on the center and right while General Smith-D -Dorriens brigade crossed the river and advanced along the north pdih- Oll potH lHe HUI LII dliu ooutH banks the ground is level and the ad- vance across this was deadly, and the British losses were heavy.
 The battle was an exact replica of the Modder River. The soldiers were under fire all day long and all the fighting had no definite result, as the Boers' laager was well barricaded and they remain therein
 The British guns shelled the laager vigorously, and the Boers confessed to a loss of over 800 men.
 The terrific shelling was resumed Monday, when General Cronje asked for an armistice.
 The shelling was continued Tuesday, over fifty guns pouring lead into the Boer camp.

 Chieveley Camp, Natal Feb. 21.-The steady progress of the relief column is uninterrupted. The Boers Tuesday were forced from their last position south of the Tugela resulting in the evacuation of Colenso, which was promptly reoccu- pied by the Dublin Fusiliers and Thor neycroft's Horse.

 The Boers heavily shelled Hlangwana Hill and Colenso Wednesday,, and the British advanced infantry was subject ed to a severe musketry fire, but they had excellent cover and the casualties were few. The Boers held the railroad running from Colenso to Bulwana. The British continue to discover large quan- titles of ammunition The Boers are we'll supplied with food and a quantity of provisions was left behind.
