To have advised the surrender OF
Ladysmith. the papers say, was
stupendous blunder; all the other re-
verses were trivial In comparison to the
humiliation he contemplated. No doubt
IL would have severely wounded British
pride. but II was the general opinion
OF military critics at the time that the
radical blunder OF the campaign was
the diversion Of the main strength OF
the British army, with its awful waste
Of time and blood. In the attempt 10 re.

This Is surprising admission. We
may admire Buffers candor and chiyal-
rous readiness 10 tell the truth ana
save others, but we must consider him
as a man physically brave but mental
ly timid, brave In battle but easily
daunted by the difficulties OF the cam
paign, and taking his first check with
tragic intensity. The surrender OF
Ladysmith would have been a disaster
of the first magnitude to the British in
terests in Africa. II might not have
been the Yorktown of the struggle, but
to have averted the full consequences
Of such a surrender, military and pollt-
zeal, would have been task compared
with which that Great Britain now has
on her hands may be deemed trivial.

II has been more than once acknowl-
edged that the British army authorities
made serious mistake in locating an
important military station at Lady

for defensive purposes, and was. as ex-

Woman's Home Companion thinks
some people are born with the happy

that you expect women to have just
as you expect the birds to sing and the
sun to shine Many a very bad quar-

numbers OF willing and delighted mas

hghtest chains that gayety and good

deal Of the imperfect education that

is that some women are apt to SCI
