SOUTH ASIAN POLITICS.

IN lSPAICHES from London announcing the
receipt IN that city of the report of the death
OF the Ameer of Aghanstan sad fIn view
OF the existing critical situation in South Africa the
news sent something like shock through the
United Kingdom" 1t is not strange it should have
done so. Affairs throughout Southern Asia, from
Syria to the confines of India are evidently becoming
seriously tangled, and the Ameer is one OF the men
upon whom the British have relied most confidently
to keep the until the South African struggle
is over and their armies released from service in
that quarter of the globe.
Asia is enormous continent but vast as is the
area its peoples and its politics closely linked to-
gether. lust at present the danger point is at the
Persian Gulf The Germans have concession for
railway from the Bosphorus the Gulf of Persia by
way OF the valley of the Euphrates Shortly after that
concession was granted the Russians obtained a su-
preme influence in Persian affairs by reason of loan
made to the Shah and it is believed to be only
matter OF time when Russia will get control Of
guilt port as a commercial and a naval base
Ihe two things mean that both Germany and Rus
sia are to be firmly established on the Persian Gulf
and that iii turn means that those powers will have
strong positions on the route from the Suez canal to
India British supremacy in that part of the ocean
therefore seriously threatened and British states
men and British generals are we'll aware of the
menace
1t will be remembered that short time ago the
British sent warshp to Koweyt for the purpose of
preventing the Turks from occupying that port. 1t
was believed at the time that it might lead to clash
with the Sultan, and the danger it would SEEM is not
yet over The Sultan is the rghtful sovereign of the
province, but the Arab tribes that occupy it have
never been submissive subjects and the British for
their own purposes have encouraged them to act in
dependently. The recent dispatch of war vessel to
the scene OF the trouble appears therefore, to mean
determination the part of the British to claim the
port as their and thus prevent from falling into
the hands of either Russia or Germany
1t is this wrangle that makes the report of the death
OF the Ameer OF Afghanstan so startling to London
Just at this time. In iact the British Government has
projected line OF railway from the Indian frontier
to the Persian Gulf and the proposed line was de
signed to cross portion of Afghanistan Should
anything prevent the extension of British railroads
the consequences would be very serious to the en-
pre 1t can readily be understood therefore why the
United Kingdom felt shock when the report Of
the Ameers death was received 1t meant for the
British the loss of friend in the very place where
they most need one Just now

WAR IN OUR TIME

NIX DE BLOCH whose theories on modern
INI have been seemingly confirmed bv
- every event or the in South Africa is
one OF the men who have profted most by that pro
longed struggle. Without the war he would doubt
less have found it difficult to get hearing from
anything but academic society," but as it is he not
only commands large audiences when ecturing to the
general public but he has had the opportunity TO
address military bodies and has thus gained in pres
t1ge as well as in reputation
Lord Roberts is quoted as having said recently:
'W1en went to South Africa laid down the rule
that the files were not to be closer than six PAGES
when advancing to attack. That was very soon al
tered to ten, and then to twenty PAGES 1t is abso-
lutey necessary be widely separated" 1t is fur
ther reported that General Won der Gotz of Ger
many, in discussing the demonstrations made dur
ing the Transvaal war, said that the battle of the
future riddle which no one can solve until has
been actually fought out His argument is that
strong position we'll defended could not be carried by
long lines of widely separated riAemen alone, while
an attack made in the attacking force
would be exterminated by the defenders.
The views thus expressed by military men are con-
hrmations of the theories with which de Bloch inter
ested the world before the war in South Africa be-
gan. 1t is another evidence that all knowledge is
not confined to professionals De Bloch is
banker, but he none the less forestaed all mill
tary writers Of the time in calculating the effects
which improved firearms have produced in the con-
duct Of war
In recent lecture before the British United Ser
vice Institution M. de Bloch said: "At Waterloo
Wellington had some $4,000 men on each mile of
ground. AT Magersonten the Beers, with some
oooo, defended twenty miles of front-that is to saw
they found 300 men per mile sufficient to hold their
line against British attack By reason of the great
gain thus given to the defensive force it is argued
that it will be well nigh impossible hereafter to CON
quer brave people who are resolved to maintain
their independence De Bloch therefore declares it
to be now useless waste of money to maintain the
enormous standing armies that so burden the nations
OF Europe tie says the drilled soldier of the bar
racks will not be in future any better than the nd
vdual fighter who has been taught to rely upon him
SELF Discipline and tactics will count for little in
opposition to courage and the ability to shoot and
to take care of ones self without waiting for the
word of command

California
The pundit who gave the evidence is named Turn
rbull Has testimony shows less knowledge of the
State thaa may be in possession of any we'll blooded
animal enjoying the last syllable of his name For
tunately it carries its own antidote and can do the
State no harm. Affecting profound knowledge of
our productive conditions, he asked how wheat
is handled here. He answered that it is handled in
elevators, the same in the East, and that these
were conveniently placed alongside railroad tracks
and wharves, just as in the East and that ships
carried grain the same way as in Eastern ports
The fact OF course is that not bushel of grain is
handled In bulk here; there are no elevators; grain
is sacked in the field, stored in sacks in the ware
house, and loaded in sacks ships for export We
have seen no comparison between the cost of hand
ling in sacks and by elevators but we assume that
the sacking method is costly. In the East
wheat gets into sack all only to be hauled to the
nearest elevator, where is handled usually by COM
pressed air 1t is delivered in bulk from the elevator
into cars, and from these is sucked by an exhaust
process, into the holds of ships for export
Ali of these processes unused and unknown
here, at least by any except this pundt who turns
his bulls eye upon grain and sees it flying into
and out OF elevators conveniently located"

OUR DISPUTES WITH CANADA.

n UR various controversies with Canada have
been most of them before the public for
- long time, and it is quite likely thew will
continue to engage the attention Of dipomatists for
long time to come. Such, at any rate is about the
only conclusion that be drawn from the recent
statement of John Charlton, member OF the Canadian
Parliament and of the Joint High Commission an
pointed to settle the disputes that the vital point
in the whole controversy is the Alaskan boundary
question, and that the position taken by the United
States with respect to it is unfair and untenable"
Charlton is reputed to be a statesman Of hioh
ability and man OF friendly feelings toward tte
United States If he and such as he approach the
disputes between the two countries in the spirit re-
vealed by the language quoted, what are we to ex
pect of those members of the Canadian Government
who but jingo politicians and whose sentiments
with respect to the United States are dominated bv
prejudice rather than by friendship?
The claim of the United States concerning the
Alaskan boundary is based upon the treaty made be-
tween Great Britain ard Russia defining that boun
dairy. We claim nothing than the British CON
ceded to Russia by the language of the treaty. and
we certainly cannot be expected to take ANYTHING
less The treaty declares that the boundary in dis
pute runs along the crest Of a mountain range
parallel to and not than ten marine leagues dis
tant from the sea- and that where the crest of the
