which all the world lis watching still
sways back ard forth in the little
district of West Flanders, where the
allied forces are struggling to check
the German advance to Calias. But
ripples OF war news are noted in
widely separated points.
Latest Boar Revolt Serious.
First comes the new rebellion in
South Africa, where the Boer lead
ers, Christian Dewet and General
Byers, former commandant of the
military forces Of South Africa, have
taken the field against the union
government, on the heels of the
checking of the rebellion movement
under Col Maritz. General Dewet
was the famous antagonist of Lord
Kitchener during. the Boer war. The
uprising he is now leading is treated
by the British press as far more
serious than the Maritz outbreak.
An event perhaps second in po-
tential Importance is the reported
German invasion of Angola, a Por-
tuguese colony in West Africa.
whether this report Is true or not
the dispatch comes almost coinci
dentally with the announcement
that Manuel, former king of Portu-
gal, has offered his services to King
George. He is willing to take the
field against Germany with an ar
my of the Portuguese republic. Ac-
cording to the report Manuel was
recently in Portugal.
Albania May Be Invaded.
Thirdly, the unrest in Albinia
seems to be growing and not only
both Italy and Greece have announc-
ed their intention of protecting their
interests in this territory by force
OF arms but the Turks are said to
be active in campaign to send
troops and to proclaim albania as
part of the Ottoman empire.
Mine West Of Irish Coast.
Aside from these political out
groupings Of the great war, Englanu
received a shock in the news that
q steamer in Manchester commerce
had been sunk off the coast of Ire
land by 4 German mine. Up to the
present all such disasters have been
confined to the eastern coast. The
region where this vessel struck is on
the first route OF the great Atlantic
liners from Liverpool and also OF
the Clyde line steamers from New
York and Canada The inference
is that the Germans, by penetrating
this area, hoped to reach transports
bearing Canadian troops to the Brit
ish isles.
