OUR

MR. KIPLING AND SOLDIERS.

Evidenly in straits for a subject, Mr. Rudyard Kipling has been turning nis pen to the unpromising theme— Canadian and Australasian soldiers are settlers of South Africa. After taking it up he must have found it a hard one to make headway with, but with his customery gameness he kept atit till he wrote it to a finish. Not much has he made out of it. » In spite of his ef- forts to write like a seer, rapt with a far-kenned vision of a great and flour ishing people sprung from the hardy over-sea colonial fighters, it is too mani- fest that he had atough enough jeb spinning his article out. If he sends forth no immigration literature more dangerous than this we may expect to

had evenavewed thathe meant to teach his men to march twenty miles without water bottles.” Mr. Steveens claims thai, asa result of this training, ‘‘after a month and a half of General Gatacre, five miles with rifle and ammunition and g-pound kit is very much the same thing to the British soldier as walking down stairs to breakfast is to you.” A story is told of one of his long marches inthe Soudan, The men were getting weary and falling out,

welcome home again such of our brave soldiers as the cruel war has_ spared. Why Mr. Kipling should use his_in- fluence to detain them in South Africa is not easy to understand. If he him- self belonged to that part of the Em- pire we could pardon his partiality for the country. The land, he says, isa good land. But to induce Canadians to prefer itto their own country it must present to them greater attrac- tions than Canada does. Mr. Kipling seems to take it for granted that South Africa is a country more to be desired than Canada. Perhaps we should not expecta juster opinien from the man who has dubbed the Dominion “The Lady of the Snows.” He complains that nothing is done to persuade our men to make their homes in South Africa :

“We may assume, then, that among the hospitals lie three hundred Can- adians of the very stamp and breed we require—young, sound, clean, intelli- gent, well educated, of which 75 per cent. hold or have held land. Three hundred possible heads ef sane and soaped families. And not a man to show them maps and photos and plans to develope schemes to lure them to stay in South Africa. We shall let all these beautiful men, and hundreds and more, go back to their own place and never lift a finger to stay them.”

Does he want the British Govern- ment or the colonial authorities in South Africa to use any arts to prevent the return of the men Canada so gen- erously lent to help Britain and the South African colonies in the,war? If he knew anything about Canada he would be assured that it is not a coun- try from which people would go to South Africa to better their fortunes. Our contingents are not made up of men who have heen crowded out of their own country and obliged to carve out homes for themselves in some other part of the world. Here there is ample room for them and for mil- lions more like them, as there is ample opportunity. No country in the world offers a fairer prospect for young men of the right stuff then does our own. Like South Africa itself, Canada wants immigrants. We can render assistance to fight the battles of South Africa, but we can spare no emigrants toit. We want our own soldiers back to take their place in our defensive system and do their part in developing the re- sources of the country. And, though South Africa is a favoured part of the earth, possessing a rich natural heri- tage, we are not afraid of its attrac- tions preving too strong for our men. The latter know there is no land of greater promise under the sun, no fair- er land, than their own beloved Can- ada.-—Mail and Empire.

GENERAL GATACRE,

Inthe late Mr. G. W. Stevens’ book, “With Kitchener at Khartoum,” General Gatacre, who is returning home, is referred to as a model officer. “Ble set to work to make his men hard. Amazing stories floated down to Halfa rebuking us with the stern simplicity of life at rail-head; no drink, perpet- ual marching, to sleep every night in your boots. ‘The General, we heard,

“Yes, father,” replied a man, “but it’s | a blessed Gatacre mile.” The Gener- | al is cool to frigidity under fire. At | Atbara he charged in the first rank, and was hsmself busy pulling down the thorn hedge ofthe zereba, when a Der- vish rifle was aimed at him at very close quarters. He wenton tugging away at the mass of thorns, saying to the man next to him, “Just shoot that fel- low,” and the Dervish was promptly dropped before he could make up his raind to fire. It was during the Chitral campaign that General Gatacre earned his nickname of ‘‘Back-acker.”

HARD ON THE WOMEN.

Colonel Baden-Powell reperts of- ficially from Mafeking, under date of April 20, that all was well then. He adds .—“Thirteen native wovnen tried to get away during the night of April 15. The enemy opened fire on them and killed nine and wounded two. I wrote to Snyman, pointing out that he shells the native stadt , which is full of women and children, and that when they are trying to escape by day the Boers have captured and flogged them, and sent them back, and by night they shoot them down, pretending to mis- take them for night attacks. Snyman has notreplied. The preportion of killed and wounded above speaks for itself.” Other news from Mafeking details the careful saving of the pro- visions and says there are diminished rations for 9,000 souls within the be- leaguered town.

NEW PLAN OF CAMPAIGN,

The Central News publishes an in- terview with Major General Sir Wil- liain Henry Rhodes Green, the famous Anglo-Saxon strategist and fighter, whose predictions during the war have been singularly correct. His present beliet isthat General Roberts, after leaving a strong ferce to oppose the main Boer army at Kreonstad, will strike for Van Reenan’s pass and oever- whelm the Boers who are now in Natal, and with General Buller’s army invade the Transvaal by way of Laing s Nek. This statement has not attracted nearly the amount ef attentien it de- serves. It certainly has the merit of novelty and probability. That there is some amount of truth in it is strength- ened by the fact that General Green is a close personal friend ef Field Mar- shal Lord Wolseley and Adjutant Gen- eral Sir Evelyn Wood.

The total number of British subjects allowed to remain in Pretoria and in the gold fields districts under President Kruger’s proclamation is 123. Of this number, 62 aie men and $9 are women. This number does not include the staffs of the water and lighting com- panies, ==

CANADIAN CASUALTIES. A cable has been received at the

Lieut -Col. Otter, commanding the first Canadian contingent, giving the following casualty list :

Killed in action on the 30th April or } ist May: _ Private Henry Cotton, 43rd_Battal- ion, Ottawa and Carleton Rifles.

Wounded in action on same date:

Lieut. J. M. Ross, 22nd Oxford Rifles.

Private John Lutz, 74th Battalion, Sussex, N, B.

Private Joseph Letson, 62nd St. John Fusiliers.

Private P. R. Foster, Governer General’s Foot Guards, Ottawa.

Private R. Irvine, rgth St. Cather- ines Battalion.

Private C, K. Rorison, 21st Essex Fusiliers.

Private A. E. Zong, 66th Battalion, Halifax, died from enteric fever on the Ist inst

Following is an extract from a re- port of Lieut.-Col. Otter, commanding the Canadian contingent, received at the Militia Department at Ottawa: “During the march, which began on Feb. 14 and ended on March 13, I cannot speak too highly of the conduct generally of the officers and men of the Royal Canadian Regiment. Tak- en altogether the march was a very trying one, without tents, or changes of clothing, for many days engaged more or less with the enemy, for two- thirds of the time upon _half-rations, subjected to a very hot sun, cold nights and several severe rain storms. The endurance, courage and good spirits of the battalion was most fully tried, and it is with pleasure that I have to record its having proved itself fully equal to the strain. The battalion is now resting in conjunction with other parts of the army, and though still in bivouac is again on full rations to which I have been enabled with the funds at my own disposal to add a few comforts in the way of food.
