- r attack of Sunday last upon Ladysmith

was timed just when a succession of thunderstorms had swollen the Tugela River so as to make it impossible for

eh General Buller to render any assist-

ance from the south. The situationl

and must indeed have been critical when

40°F” lb- the enemy occupies strong positions

three days more. But while the counsel of these great men may be most. valuable, they cannot change the existing physical conditions. The Boer positions will be as strong, the strength of the enemy’s forces, the range of his guns. the almost impas- sible river, the hard pressed garrison at Ladysmith will be as they were. No change of plans can for the mo- ment alter these embarrassing feat- ures of the situation.

The time has apparently passed

when it was possible for Gen. White to destroy his stores, cat his way out of Ladysmith and retire to* the southward. At any time within the past month this would have been a desperate venture in the face of the threefold force surrounding him. W`e get a glimpse of the thought in his mind when he stated the other day that “the Boer positions are terribly strong." “Ve take it this means that it is no longer possible for him to escape, if he would .

Evidently the Baer is a man of

war. The situation is one in which Greek has met Greek, and the tug of war in the struggle henceforth will be intense. We confront these adve se conditions with an united nation and a. vast force of brave solfiiery, soon to have at their head the best generals of the Empire. Our resources in men, money, transport service and war material are almost unlimited. The spirit of the nation is not depressed, but rises with the emergency. Under such conditions great obstacles and difiiculties can and will be overcome, Tun GUARDIAN abates not a jot of its continued confidence in the ultimate and glorious triumph of British arms in South Africa.

Britain has the Cash.
