Situation Plainly Set Forth

lhe Mailand Enipire says: “If two smali States, such a» are the Transvaal Republhe and the Orange Free State, British territory with 1m- putiny, destroy Briiish property and shoot down British soidiers who are eudeavoring to defend British towns ; and if Britain cannot drive them back | again behind their own _ borders and there compel them to sue for} peace, it is folly fur the British people to lay claim any longer to being one ot seven great powers ot the world. Ot; course, Britain when she gathers her | resources will drive back the invading ' Boers and will dictate terms of peace to the Governments of Pretoria and But in accepting the}

Canadian contingent she is gathering her resources, and taking the steps necessary to assert and maintain her position. It has always been claim- ed for Britain that she possessed vast reserve power, aiid that no smail part of it lay in the colonies. We are now demonstrating this to be true, while, all those whom it is likely to concern are wetching the operation from the neut- ral galleries of Europe and America. But if the colonies are not to come to her assistance, and if because of this the British flag is to go duwn under some terrific and well timed as- sault, we should be tace to face with the condition indicated, and our power ful protector would be no longer able to protect. Then, says Le Cour- rier du Canada, we might look for “in- vasion, annexation, absorbation, an- nihilation.” Certain it is that on the morrow of the collapse of the British power, Canada would continue her in- dependentexistenceonly on sufferance. Our good neighbors to the South might not invade or annex, but is it likely that they would hear us out very pa- tiently on the Alaskan boundary ques- tion, or the Atlantic fisheries dispute, or any of the other matters over which we disagree? Then could we depend upon such friendly treatment from, say, Russia? Ard if the United States had to throw about us the protection of the Monroe doctrine to keep Russia or any Other outside power from ab- sorbing us, would the Americans never think of proposing that we might come into the Union which guarded us? This is not a pleasant discussion,

ness in the field of academic debate than on the rugged plain of stern real- ity. There is no manner of doubt that British protection has made of Canada for the last century a very garden of the gods—a hill of peace. We have gone about {our business of sowing and reaping and sowing again, ot bui!d- ing and making and selling and buy- ing, until we have actually come to think of war as a mediaval practice, too brutal for our consideration and intended mainly to enliven history and embellish literature. We have been a national peace society, wondering mild- ly why the backward peoples of Europe did not lock upon us and learn how to make plough-shares without a_pre- liminary sword at all. But at last we are shaken awake. We live in the world like the rest of the nations. Take away our British buckler and we must learn to protect ourselves as they have to do. But it is better{far to/keep the buckler, A little hard thinking will convince the most ardent pro-Boerite of this staring truth.

Fave = i— _ The practically unopposed occupa- tion of Dordrecht, in Cane Colony, by

a detatchment of General Gatacre’s forces is an event of promise. The

simply

what they seem the event would mean that the enemy has begun to retire in Cape Colony as he did in Natal. It maby be to cccupy a stronger position, but even it that 1s the ca:e it is still well. An army retiring is never in the spirits that animate an oncoming con- fident host.

Regarding Lord Methuen, the head- master of the Clayesmore school at Enfield, England, writes to the London Outlook, as follows :

“It was about ten years ago that I first met the Hon. Paul Methuen, as he was then, at Toynbee Hall, White- chapel, and subsequently invited him to visit a Boys’ Club and Gymnasium at Manchester, and address the work- ing lads there. Methuen was at the time over head and ears in hard work in town, yet he travelled north on a’ cold winter day, visited the Club in the’ evening, and after supper returned by ' the night mail, not reaching London’ until early the following morning—all this to show friendship to a number of poor boys. Many of the officers of the northern district wished to meet him, whilst my guest, but his mission was to the boys, and resisted every | othe distraction. The lads gave the) hero of ‘Methuen’s Horse’ a character- istic Lancashire welcome, and listened | with deep interest to his account of the “Retreat of the Emperor Napoleon from Moscow,” and the story of that wonderful Russias campaign of 1813.

“Lord Methuen has frequently since supported with the utmost generosity efferts amongst working boys. He is cf the best type of English nobleman, doing his charity simply, wisely and in

a full and quiet sense of the duty of service for others.”

BRAIN FAG

Is the result of Overwork and an Exhausted Nervous System. Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Food creates New Brain and Nerve Tissue.

Business and professional men, accountants, stenographers, teachers, students and al] brain workers know only too well what it means ta have the brain so tired out that concentration of thought is almost impossible.

One-fifth of all the blood in the human body

fs found in the brain, and unless the blood is pure and rich the brain becomes exhausted for want of proper nourishment.

Dr. A. W. Chase's Blood Food creates new brain and nerve tissue, and produces rich red blood, ‘‘ the vital fluid * of the body.

All brain workers quickly recognize the merits of this great food cure, and after a few doses enter on their work with new energy and ambi- tion.

Brain fag is unknowr. to persons whose brain and nerve have been invigorated by the use of Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Food, which is fur pale by all dealers at scc. a box.
