ago.” In the war with Germany France lost at Metz and Soudan in prisonersalone 350,000 men with all their equipment. Within a few months thousands of French cannon were captured by the victorious Ger- mans, Paris itself was taken and France was compelled to s rrender two provinces and pay a fablilous war indemnity. All the British losses in South Africa so far, with Lsdysmith and Kimberly and their garrisons, if all were lost, would be but a fraction of what France suEered in one disas- trous dsy of the Franco-German war.

The great Republic beside us also

suffered appalling reversesand humili- ation in the secession war before the Union was restored. It may be too, that British pride ' has ueeced a stern lesson of humility at this snags, "lest we forget." There has pcrhsps been t00 s

much tru t reposed in mod-A

those positions our forces have shown themselves apparently well able to de- fend themselves against aasault, but we have had ominous tidings of the men being put on short rations.
