the object of the warlike preparations

ron, with transports, Is held in instant
readiness.
THE tension in the relations between

est apprehension.

ported by Germany, should prove stub
bornly ntractable with regard to Rus
sia's concessionary demands in Asia
Minor, serious complications must in
evitably ensue. The Russian garrisons
in the Caucasus and along the Armenian
frontier have been increased four fold
and equipped for active service"

OF the wish beng granted. The desire

generous admiration of his latest feat.

ton for the extraordinary daring dis
played by the Beers on this OCCASION al
most predom!nates over the cllagrin at
the failure of the British officers to cope
with their opponents. There is springing
up a lihslosOph,c difference in the in
caIilcty of generals in South Africa. Re
verses have become the expected. Last
Christmas society almost went crazy over
Plum Duddinss and chocolate hampers
sent to the soldiers on the veldt This
Year they are not mentioned. Ii fact the
public is unutter4bly weary of the long
drawn out struggle. whose only interest
ing features are the sensational escapes
of Dewet.
This in no way affects the Government,
whose determination to fight il out to
the bitter end is evident from its decision
to reinforce The already huge army in
South Africa. Several members OF the
Cabinet, however, would be heartily CRATE
fu. We're the Boer leaders to sue for
