Earl of Camperdown asked a series of questions bearing upon the various allegations concerning Premier Schrei- ner’s attitude towards the war. The Earl of Selborne, under secretary of state for the colonies, replied that a self-governing colony was bound to do everything possible to defend its territory against invasion. Generally speaking he added, the land defence
lay with the colony whiie the defence of the coaling stations or attack by sea devolved upon the motherland. No part of Her Majesty’s dominions, the secretary continued, can claim peace with a power with

The statistician figures it out that the present trouble in South Africa is the fortieth war Great Britain has had on its hands during the reign of Queen Victoria.

Private J. R. Dunlop, of the first Canadian contingent, in a letter des- cribing the first Paardeberg Drift fight, says :—'* Oh, yes, I must not forget to tell you what Brigadier-General Smith- Dorien said to us the day after the
the Republics Itsays that had Pre- sidents Kruger and Steyn applied to the pewers before telegraphing to Lord Salisbury there is some reason to be- lieve that Great Britain would have been approached in behalf of the Re- publics.
The London Standard in an edi- torial dealing with the cabled extracts from the correspondence between the United States Government and Euro- pean powers upon the question of the ‘open door’ policy in China, says:

At Ladysmith during the bombard- ment, Archdeacon Barker picked up a Boer shell which was on the point of
water.
The Transvaal military authorities are utilizing natives from the mines for the construction of trenches cn the koyjes surrounding Johannesburg. Most of the mines are shutting down owing to the military demand on Kaffir labour. Mr. Steyn’s last pro- clamation warns the Burghers against assisting the British or returning to their homes, under penalty of prosecu- tion for high treason.
While watching affairs in the Free State, we are liable to forget that the Boers are still in some force on British Territory, namely Natal. According to the latest reports from Ladysmith they still hold Van Reenan’s Pass in force. True their baggage waggons are packed at Newcastle, but at the most that only means that they are prepared for a move of some kind. It is obvi- ous that their presence in these regions cannot be ignored, and as the general

arrangements planned by Lord Roberts must include some considered treat- ment of this force, somewhat centrally secreted in a very difficult country. It is easy to see that he has more to think about than a simple torward movement from Bloemfontein.

A despatch to the London Daily Mail from Mafeking, dated Friday March 16, described the humorous side of the siege. It appears that the colonials set up bottles, inviting the Boers to shoot at them, and then chaf- fed the enemy when the shot went wide. Another trick of the colonials is by persistent concertina playing to lure the Boers, excited by curiosity, to
