TIMELY WORDS.

Wuatever he may do, there can be no question that Lord Roberts has said the right thing atthe right time. His ap- preciative, eloquent worda, reported in our despatches today, will stir the hearte of al! loyal Irishmen and al! loyal Canadians and move them, if need be, to put forth their greatest efforts oo behalf of Queen and country,

There can be no question either that the people of Canada ard of all the British Colonies are just os deeply interested in the result of the South African etruggie as those of the Mother Country. The Montreal Star has admirably set forth this fact. ‘* Thies,” it eays, ** is our war our coustry’s credit, security, indepen- | dence, very existence, ie at stake. Shalj Canada strike for her own sake, for loved Englaod’s sake, or further etand aloof and watch the struggle that may mean fcr Briain a sundered Empire, tor Canada| humilietion and grief over a lost cause, and her brightest prospects doomed ?” B.In the same vein, the Montreal Gazette | declares that though the struggle last as years as it

bave sent a thousand men asa preof of We will send a thousand more, and other thousands yet, with horses and guos if they are needed. No party trick- | ster will stay the will of the Canadian | people with hia petty cry of “no dent,” or will be another time for that. At it is of vital importance that toe

‘imperial representation.” There present | Empire | skou'd show a united front to its enemies, actual and possible, and the piace of Canada, the eldest daughter of the house, is at the right hand of the Mother Land.

AND KITCHENER.

ROBERTS

Just the Men for the Work.

Loxpvow, Dec. 20.—The Standard, com menting on the appointment ot Field Marsna! Lord Roberts and General Lord Kitchener, says :—

“The appointment of two such famous soldiers will tend to reassure the public mind, and restore confidence in the capa- city of those at the head of affairs in South Africa, which has been somewhat shaken. Lord Roberts ie a great strate- gist, and Lord Kitchener is a master in just those arts of organization and admin- istration that are urgently needed.”

The Daily News praises the appoint~ met of Lord Roberts and Lora Kitchener, and takes the opportunity to lengthily criticize the previous shortcomings of the Goverrement. It says:

“ The decision of Saturday was either miscalculation. What a reflection looked for a promenade to Pretoria, and what a tribute, let us add, to the courage, military ability,and resources of the Duich | Rep iblic.’

The paper contraste the Government’s notification to the colonies of its preference for mounted troops with its meseages to them on October LOtb, saying: “In view

will be the most, and cavalry the least, serviceable.” 1 ike the rest of the papers, it conclndes. ‘We mean to see this thing through.’
