Inspector Breckenridge, re-
porting to Secretary Root, suggests the
employment Of officers returned from
foreign service. and unable to perform
other duty, as professors of military
science at military colleges. There
are many indications that the reign
of peace is yet far off, and until the
millennial sun chases away the martial
clouds that brood over every land 1t
may be wise to instruct the youth OF
the country betimes in military drill
and discipline. A defensive force will
always be necessary here as elsewhere,
and this plan offers congenial and easy
tasks to men whose health has been
injured in their country's service, and
promises to provide at least a frame
work on which to build up an efficient
force to meet any national emer-
gency.

Phillips Brooks said, in the last
Thanksgiving sermon he preached: Il
defy man to put his finger upon any
page of history when it was clearer
than 1t is today that man has some
thing to do with his brethren and that
they are his brethren. Yes, it belongs
to nations, too. No nation dare act in
sublime selfshness" Whether the re-
straining motive be high or low, the
fact Of greed, envy, hate. under some
control, is a ground of hope for in
dividuals and governments.

In one of his most beautiful and az
fecting poems Longfellow mentions
some of the achievements of men who
have reached the age of fourscore

ity. Worthy of place in the list is
the service to the civilized world by
Theodor Mommsen. Past the limit of
eighty years. his energy has survived
in remarkable measure, and he has
published new work on Roman
criminal law, which will supplement-
his authoritative contributions to the
knowledge we possess of the general
subject of Roman law. Work. under
proper conditions, has a preventative
influence. What IL he had laid down
his pen when he reached his three
score and ten? There are many
chances that he would not now be

London Papers Comment on the Failure
of Last Weeks Operations.

London Papers Comment on the Failure
of Last Weeks Operations.
LONDON, April 30. The only dispatch
from Lord Roberts was the usual list
of deaths and sickness. The flood of
newspaper dispatches describing the re-
cent operations throws no light what
ever upon the present position Of affairs,
or of the great question as to when the
main advance is to begin. The Stand
ards announcement that General
French's cavalry is returning to Bloem-
fontein is clear proof that there is no
further hope of capturing the retreating
Beers. and the London papers are be-
ginning to display impotence at the
practical failure of the elaborate opera
tions Of last week.
The Standard says: "It is disheart-
ening to find that these elaborate man
euvres have brought so small a re-
suit
The Daily Chronicle remarks: "We
are reluctant to criticise Lord Roberts,
but it is impossible to shut our eyes to
the fact that during the last 10 days we
have gained very little from our enorm-
Gus display of force. Without doubt
these operations have been Of very ex-
hausting nature and will entail further
delay"
The Bloemfontein correspondent of
the Post speaks Of the urgent need of
the present and always of more horses.
There is very little from other quarters.
