II was the British defeat at Sara
toga that turned the tide of the Amerl-
can Revolution. Although that war
dragged on many years after this de-
cisive event. Its culmlnation in the
Independence OF the United States
was tbenceforth inevitable; for the
Saratoga victory revived the spirits OF
the Americans. II dampened the ardor
Of England. and It made possible the

Mrs. Rose Sullivan of West Winter

of that place after continuous service
of more than 80 years. Mrs. Sullivan
is rs years old. She was appointed
postmistress mt West Wnlterport on
November 10, 1851. She finds her oc-
cupation gone because of the rural
free delivery service, which does away
with the little postotiice.

The British governor of Bermuda
knows his duty. He has ordered that
no more pamphlets of psalms publish
ed by the American Tract Society be
circulated among the Boer prisoners
on the islands, because, as he says the
psalms of David would give hope to
the Beers, and keep alive their fight
ing spirit!

pie, to the stolid masses of Great Brit
ain, and to the unlocking world.

Lord Kitchener has for weeks been
laying enormous but futile traps for
the capture Of Gen. DeWet, and the
tory government has assured the
British people that with DeWet out
of the field the Boer resistance would
collapse. But Gen. Delarey discredits
these assurances and throws suspi-
cion upon Kitchener's competency by
achieving victory which admon-
ishes everybody that even If DeWet
were captured the end OF the war
would not be in sight, for Delarey
would still be at large. Nor is that
all. The fact is emphasized that be-
sides Delarey and DeWet there is Bo-
tina, who has recently given good ac-
count Of himself; and the ignorant and
confding are excited to wonder what
other talent for defensive warfare, as
yet without distinction, these patri-
otic leaders may not have in their fol-
lowing and under their tuition?

One fact in connection with De-

OF special comment. When Lord
Roberts announced the disaster on
the floor OF the House OF Lords, he as,
sured the British public that Dc.
lercy's conduct throughout the war
was guarantee that Gen. Methuen
would be well cared for. This is more
than an ordinary tribute. For IT
must be borne In mind that British of.
ficers have shot and hanged Boer pris
oners without mercy, and that the
British government has approved II.
Scores OF Boer soldiers, captured by
the British, have been hanged as trai-
tors. They We're not deserters

LET US SING.

LET US SING.
Let us sing, dear heart, of sky that
shall be blue,
OF flowers that shall feel the light
the falling of the dew:
Let us dream that life is pleasant
with its sorrows and its sighs--
The grief that thrills its heartstrings,
the rain that dms its eyes.
Let us sing. dear heart, Of happier
time to be,
When the light along the landways
shall shed silver DER the sea;
Let us dream that sweeter music shall
drown the ocean-knells.
And the ships come safe to harbor to
the welcome of the bells.

So shocking to the assumed conf
dence of the British government is
this spectacular victory Of Delarey's,
so significant Is it of the unexhausted
possibilities of the Boer powers of re-
considered in official circles in Lon
don for adding 10000 more troops to
the 100000 that have already been
sent into South Africa. But II is only
a few days since a British minister
stated on the floor of the House of
Commons that a call for more troops
would probably mean conscription.
So far the supply of troops has been
drawn largely from the submerged
tenth" Men coming from that quar-
ter, however, have proved to be de-
fective. Even if they were efficient,
the supply of those to whom love of
adventure and "a sure living so long
AZ they don't get shot are impor-
tant considerations, has given out.
A continuance of the war with larg-
er force, therefore, will mean to Eng
land something more than empty
boasts about British valor. 1t will
mean that the flower of the British
people must either enlist or stand n
draft, This would put the British to
test which defensive patriotism
might well endure, but from which
the spirit Of foreign conquest is almost
certain to recoil. 1t was that possibil-
iiy, and not personal sympathy for
Methuen, who has suffered only one of
the ordinary fortunes of war, that de-
pressed the lingo element of Great
Britain when the news came, and, save
for Irish cheers, cast the Hous of
Commons In gloom.
