Since Lord Methuen`s reverse at Magers-

fontein he has been holding his ground for two months on the north bank of the Moddcr River. Now that Lord Roberts

has talcen command at this point with

increased forces of infantry, cavalry and

artillery, ii new advance has been begun.

The new movement can better bc under-

stood after ii brief outline of the posit-ions

north of the Modder River, has in

its front the strong Boer position

oer trenches e.\tend in .i semicircle, till

nen`s right and partially in his rear, t-he

south of the Modder River and between that stream and the Riet River. The

Modder and Riet form a junction close to l the boundary of the Orange State with Jocobsdal near the Riet and some eight miles east of the boundary.

General French has pushed across the

Riet and north easterly to the Modder,

dal from the main position at Magersfon- tein. So far the movement, which must be regarded as a highly important one,e.p-

pears tohave been quite successfuhand for the time gives our forces a. decided' strat-

egetical advantage. It remains to be seen

what movements the ve-ry resourceful enemy will make to meet the new ad-

\'8I\C€~

For the present and for some time to

come attention will be centred: upon the movements in this quarter, which are under the general direction of_Lord Roberts. VVe can but hope and trust that he will be more successful than either Lord

Methuen or General Bnller in previous at- tempts to advance. \Ve may be sure that his progress will be strongly' contested. The best reason for hope is based upon his much larger forces than Methuen had,and especially' because of the added forces of artillery and cavalry, the latter under the very capable command of Gen. French.

Canadian interest in the new advance

will be intensified by the fact that the Canadian Regiment- will no doubt have it share in the work to be done in the near

future. It is mentioned that several

colonial contingents .were with Gen. French in his recent advance and the

capture of a number of Boer laagers. Pre- ;~ui'nably ‘these were mounted men from

Cape Colony, Australia and N ew Zealand.

There are tenfold stronger reasons why

Canadians should sympathise with the

I-`ilipiAnos than there are for _the sympathy extended by many of the American people to the Boers. The Filipinos are fighting for the right to govern themselves. The Boers are the aggressors and the invaders

of peaceful British colonies. The Filipinos are being crushed by force of arms in their own country. The Boers are carry- ing iire and sword into provinces which have given them no offence. On the

American part a war of conquest is being pursued. On the British part at the be- ginning and down to the present this has been a purely defensive war.

The rapid recent expansion of Canadian

trade was brought forcibly to view in con- cise form by Mr. Gould ,the other day in

the Coninions. He quoted iigures showing that our foreign trade increased in the

Lo.\'no.\', Feb( 12.---A _' #Pedal d¢SDaliC_h from Springfield bridge,`under date of Fri- day, Feb. 9, gives a. new explanation ofp General Buller’s retirement.

According' to this despatch a balloonist

on Wednesday discovered the fact that the Boers had developed extraordinary and unexpected artillery strength on Doom Kloof, to the British right-, where they had managed to draw up a dozen heavy guns, some fitted with disappearing mountings, -and all cunningly masked. These, but for the balloonist, never would have been dis- covered in time to save the British from falling into the deadly trap as they com-

the British untenable and a further ad-

r terrible and useless loss of life

to the Necessity of Reorganization. c
