Rdmonished by the women's dean, every

Mr.. Phillips is well known as the
learned author Of many special bibIo-
graphies Of maps. called for by military
or political exigencies, in the United
States. In his Official capacity he has
done his utmost on a somewhat made

the most ardent students Of American
cartography.
The ,chief points OF excellence OF the
work Of Mr. Phillips consist OF the de-
tailed complete list OF maps in each
atlas OF unusual interest His work
shows. for instance, that the Library Of
Congress IS in possession OF many maps
that other Libraries lack, and the Journal

The Enemy Triumphs.

Few things demonstrate more clearly
the healing effects OF time than the re-
cent appointment by Lord Gladstone Of
Gen. Louis Botha as the man 10 form
the first ministry of the new federation
OF United South Africa. Hardly more
than ten years ago Gen. Botha was the
most formidable military opponent OF
Great Britain IN the Boer war He
fought the invader Of his country liter
ally TO the last ditch. and was among
the last of his countrymen to admit
defeat
Yet 1t is not purely sentimental rea-
son that has moved LORD Gladstone.
the British governor general. to call upon
Gen. Botha at the formation Of the new
federation. Political conditions in South
Africa were such that even before Lord
Gladstone sailed from England It was
seen that Louis Botha would be the in
evitable choice. The situation was out
lined some time ago by the London
Times, which had paid particular atten-
ton to political conditions in the Trans
vaal. and which. discussing the men

to say here-a remarkable and admirable
development IN South Africa since the
Boer war. 1t was thought at first. from
the way in which the Beers held out.

OF unrest, even OF revolt, might continue
to exist for many years.
Instead OF that, peace one declared

that calls for the appointment OF Gen.
Botha. BY his work In reconstruction;
by the aid he has given In welding to-
