1t is now rumOred at EaStport that
there Will be somewhat of revolution
in the way of putting up the American
sardines, this season, in most Of the
sardine canning factories along the
eastern Maine coast and that the old
time custom of frying the herring will
be more extensively practiced. 1t is
stated that the large-sized and expen-
sive reel ovens will be given up by
many packers, under the syndicate,
and that the baked fish will give place
to the fried sardines in different plants.
While this new change is as yet only
speculation, there are strong indica-
tons Of the frying process again being
tried and the two varieties will find a
place on the market later in the year

The Relief OF laGysmith.

Small wonder that England went
wild with JOY when the news came
that Ladysmith was relieved. 1t is an
English victory that really means
much more than the capture of Cen
eral Cronje's army by Lord Roberts,
though il is in great part result or
this earlier event. For almost four
months General White and his army
of 1O, 900 men have been shut up in that
little city, holding off the repeated
assaults of the superior Boer forces
around him and fighting the even
more formidable enemies of disease
and famine within the city walls. 1t
has been a desperate resistance which
the world has applauded, and throws
completely in the shade the brief
stand made by Cronje against superior
odds. The siege of Ladysmith will be
remembered in history as a wonderful
example of the logged courage Of
tenacity characteristic of the Anglo
saxon race.
And to brave Butler. too, belongs no
little credit. Often repulsed in his at
everlastingly at it, and has been
driven back at one point by the i'm
pregnably intrenched Roers only to
renew his assault at another place.
Such determination was bound to win
in the end in spite of all odds British
armies have often been better handled
than that which has finally relieved
Ladysmith, but no army ever showed
a higher degree of personal coura sc.
No loss dismayrd il ana each repulse
was followed by hercer assault.
Had the leaders been as farseefng as
they We're brave the struggle would
have been ended weeks ago. The
racial capability for taking hardest
punishment ana coming up in grim,
set purpose to conquer. so often shown
by English and American armies, was
never better Illustrated than on the
banks Of the Tug Il ana On the rugged
hillSidrs around Ladysmith.
The relief Of Ladysmith is most
serious blow II the Boer cause. More
important than the loss of General
White and his men whom they had
already counted as prisoners. and more
disastrous than the retreat before
General Euller's army. is the depress-
ing effect the defeat must inevitably
have on the Bocr army 1t will give
the English renewed courage ana con

armies they can sweep all before them

wing Of the Bocr defence has collapsed
