AS England continues to send re-en-
forcements to South Africa, in spite
of the declaration that the war is prac-
tically over, the suspicious Frenchman
declares that the English government
is preparing for a descent on NADIA
gascar. On the other hand, it is con-
jectured that provisions is being made
against the possibility that the Suez
canal may, be closed in the event OF a
war in Asia. Neither supposition is
tenable, says the Army and Navy
Journal. Whatever success the Eng
fish may have had against the Beers,
the waste of war is so great as to re-
quire constant reinforcement of I'D
