i The Christmas truce affords an op- portunity for calm reflection on both sides as to the progress of lhe South Africin war and the prospects. On the Boer side the more intelligent thinking portion of the two republics must be sadly disheartened. All hopes of conquering Natal and Cape Colony have vanished like a morning mist. Mafeking, Kimberly and Ladysmith still defy the Boer assaults. The tide of Boer invasion has been rudely checked and partly rolled back. The immense Boer superiority of two or three to one in armed force, in guna and cavalry is being rapidly equalised and must soon show astrong superior- ` ity on the British side. l More disheartening still to the ifeuemy is the demonstrated superior- ity ot the Briton over the .Boar aaa Lighting man.

There are reports that Russia is

pressing Spain to sell Penta, the stonghold on the southern side of the Straits of Gibraltar. By the aid of modern fortifications and armaments Ceuta could be made almmt impreg- nable. It is thought to bein view of this movement that the British special ‘service squadron has justy arrived at Gibraltar, lithr-,the already there imposing naval force. `Britieh war vessels are also constantly
