for the time being is shown in the repor;
that the British railway lines south of TIE
Orange River are blocked by innumerabie
trains loaded with supplies and horses. an
order having been issued to stop every
hing below the zone OF danger. The Gi-
lemma which Lord Roberts is facing APP
pears to be that he can do little or moth
ing until he can get winter clothing aud
shoes for his entire army. and remOunts
for his cavalry; supplies which the Beers
are striving with actual, If temporary, sue
cess TO prevent from reaching him. Even
if he we're not thus harassed by his enc
my. il is doubtful il he could do much in
the way OF a general advance for weeks
to come. Judging from the bitter tone OF
London military critics who are denounc-
ing the War ONCE for not assembling
shoes and warm clothing at Cape Town,
in preparation for the South African win
ter. it is to be suspected that these sup
plies are not yet on the way. and possibly
have not yet been delivered by the manu-
facturers in England. The thick-headed
laundering Of the imperial authorities in
the matter OF supplies for the field force.
even discounts the regime OF Algerism in
our own Army. and that statement is about
as ugly an afront as could well be offered
to TIE offenders.
While the brave "Tommies" are shiver-
ing in their light duck uniforms and thin
cotton Undertaking. ragged and bare

are making hay while the frost shines.
Great as is the British superiority in num-
bers and guns. it is neutralized to fear
fHl extent through the immobility imposed
by tbs supply conditions to which we Rave
referred Probably II would not be much
exaggeratiCn to say that the cavalry and
artillery still susceptible of being consid-
cred mobile, are no more than sufii-
cient to secure the communications from
something like destruction. The guns are
we'll enough, but it takes horses to drag
them. ana dismOunted cavalry are less use
full than trained foot soldiers. 1t is i'm
possible to study the picture without
thinking OF that other one in which We
see the army Of Napoleon, beaten and re-
duced to a fragment by the deadly and re-
sistless power Of a Russian winter. Truly.

TEACHING THE CUBANs.
4 Fourth of July Celebration i'm
Their Honor.

BOSTON. April 0-Superintendent
Frye. Of the Cuban Public Schools suggests
that the Fourth Of July celebration this
year be directed specially toward Cuba and
that it be virtually a celebration OF Gu
ban independence with American indie
pendence. Mr.. Frye thinks that such a
celebration would inspire in the people OF
Cuba a feeling Of confidence in the United
States which would be very beneficial to
the general welfare of the island. He has
found favor for his idea among the mem
bers Of the patriotic societies. Mr.. Frye
points out that the Cuban teachers will
- at Harvard while the Fourth of july
Is being celebrated this year. and he thinks
that an observance such as he proposes
would be a great objec- lesson for them.
He says in letter on TIE subject:
The teachers will go back to their
homes and their schools in the tropical
island with hearts OVERLOOKING with graft
tude. The neighbors will gather round
and will learn that to win the world our
country would not swerve a hairs breadth
from promises and duty Confidence will be
restored and industries. now paraIyzed by
doubt. Will be quiekened by certainty"

THE ARMY CANTEEN-
Chaplain Charles c. Pierce Makes n
Report Advocating Il.


Charles c. Pierce. Chaplain {. s. A..
has submitted report to The Secretary Of
War in which he advocates the canteen
system as a means Of preventing over
indulgence il spurious liquors by soldiers
in the Army Chaplain Pierce went to
Manila with the lrst consignment OF
troops and remained there until a few
months ago. The report deals with the
general moral and physical condition Of
the army, and states that there has been
marked improvement in both particulars
The cleaning Of Manila and placing il in
a sanitary condition has had a very no.

epidemic once a year in Manila has
greatly diminished, and the chaplain states
that there Is good reason 10 believe II
the city is kept clean that IL will event
ually disappear entirely. Speaking OF the
saloons in Manila the report says;
Il have read the statement that but two
saloons existed in Manila. at tAe time OF
its occupation by the Americans. As l first
saw that city. only eight days later, 1
can say that this figure is too small; and
although It is a fact that more public sa-
looms exist today. it Is also true that there
are rot so many Of them as &C involve =
net increase in the number OF places in
Manila where liquor may be procured, but.
on the contrary. a diminutiOn. The truth
Is that the American saloon has super
seeded something else.
What &c has superseded Is a most i'm
portant question in this interesting con-
trOversy. When J first saw Manila the
streets we're practically lined with little
nipa huts. In which the natives we're SELF
