Exceptiog Lord Roberts alone no comi

mander in the South .African field has

performed so many signal services with

such uniform success ‘as Gen. John D. P.

French of the Cavalry Division. He was in Natal when the war broke out, fought in the earlierengagements there at Elands- laate and Reitfontein, helped to hdld back the enemy in their first onset upon Laysmith,anfl when ordered else-where left the town by the last train which was riddled with Boer bullets on on the pass-

age. He next turned up in northern Cape Colony,where during the dark period of of Buller`s, Gatacre`s and Methuen’s checks, reverses and looses he steadily made headway northward until Colesburg was reached and the enemy driven back

to the Orange River.

During several months of reverses and

inactivity in Natal on the one hand and the western border on the other almost

the only cheerful tidings that came from the front was the account of Gen.French’s

operations. He had but a small force and was always confronted, and at times sur-

Hc was in the midst of a disloyal Dutch

population, but his intense activity, alertf ness and watchfulness always guarded against surprise and loss, 'and scored victory after victory over the enemy. During this period he was almost daily engaged in iight and never failed to give a good account of himself. ' i `

When Lord Robertfassumed command

he called Gen. French to his assistance in

his advance northward to the relief of

He could hardlyhave had a better train-e ing for his South African campaign. He learned Indian tricks on _the prairies and amid the Rocky Mountain passes and be- came one of the most exper(,.__o£_ 8couts._ Canada has not only aided inthe war by the splendid lighting men she has sent to the front, but also by the training which she incidentally gave to the foremost British Cavalry General. “Itis suggest- ive,” continues our exchange, “that the necessity of organizing Cavalry, or Mount- .ed Infantry, with special reference to Ind- ian warfare on this continent should have been the cause of an important modifica- tion in that arm of the service in several armies. Heavy Cavalry has been made

obsolete by it. Gen. French is nothing more than an Indian fighter putting his experience to good use on the South AI- rican veldt, having been trained to meet horsemen who were far more expert

masters in riding than the Beers, though not such excellent marksmen. This

seems to he a cavalry omcers’ war, and

me mobility which has nnikedsmi mut- ed the Beers, so often was not learned in

England.” s - .

The Patriot defends 'Mn McPhail’s

Kimberly and selected him to lead the flying column which so quickly and brillantly accomplished that great result.

In the pursuit and capture of Cronje it was Gen. French who raced past the retreating General and barred his way. In all the operations by which the Free State was overrun, subjected and finally annexed the Cavalry General bore a brilliant part as he has since done in the advance northward to Bralndfort, the Vaal and Johannesburg. In fact Gen. French has not only won the admiration

of t-he British Empire but of foreign military writers and authorities as well.

suH`ered during the present war. are however, some noble exceptions- oiiiccrswvho have accomplished within their sphere of operations all that could have been hoped of ,them. Among these are Sir George Stewart White, thede- fender of Ladysmith, Col. Kekewich, who defended Kimberly and Col. Baden Powell, who in a less important post sustained a longer siege. with courage endurance and resourcefulness that have never been surpassed. But we think that in the iield no other division commander

has made so brilliant a record or added so

much to his previous fame as General

va

French. Doubtless when the war is over

a grateful country will show its due appreciation.

Burglary has become far to common in

our city of late. The criminals are' still at large and will no doubt be heard from again some line morning. They have found their work easy and proiitable. I And having so far escaped detection they

will naturally gain inert ased confidence. If our small police force is found unable to protect the property of citizens that body shouldbe reinforced, or, if necessary. a detective might be brought in out- side. V
