- r attack of Sunday last upon Ladysmith
was timed just when a succession of
thunderstorms had swollen the Tugela
River so as to make it impossible for
 eh General Buller to render any assist-
ance from the south. The situationl
and must indeed have been critical when
some British positions were captured
wink by the enemy and Gen. White helio-
 8 graphed “I hm hard pressed," while
Gen. Buller’s position is as didicult
as it is unique, He is safe against at-
tack but it is almost impossible for
him to advance. \Vnen he advances

40°F” lb- the enemy occupies strong positions
three days more. But while the
counsel of these great men may be
most. valuable, they cannot change the
existing physical conditions. The
Boer positions will be as strong, the
strength of the enemy’s forces, the
range of his guns. the almost impas-
sible river, the hard pressed garrison
at Ladysmith will be as they were.
No change of plans can for the mo-
ment alter these embarrassing feat-
ures of the situation.
The time has apparently passed
when it was possible for Gen. White
to destroy his stores, cat his way
out of Ladysmith and retire to* the
southward. At any time within the
past month this would have been a
desperate venture in the face of the
threefold force surrounding him. W`e
get a glimpse of the thought in his
mind when he stated the other day
that “the Boer positions are terribly
strong." “Ve take it this means that
it is no longer possible for him to
escape, if he would .
Evidently the Baer is a man of
war. The situation is one in which
Greek has met Greek, and the tug of
war in the struggle henceforth will be
intense. We confront these adve se
conditions with an united nation and
a. vast force of brave solfiiery, soon to
have at their head the best generals
of the Empire. Our resources in men,
money, transport service and war
material are almost unlimited. The
spirit of the nation is not depressed,
but rises with the emergency. Under
such conditions great obstacles and
difiiculties can and will be overcome,
Tun GUARDIAN abates not a jot of its
continued confidence in the ultimate
and glorious triumph of British arms
in South Africa.
Britain has the Cash.
Some idea ol the enormous resour-
ces ol the British nation may be glean-
cd from the announcement that, altar a
careful examination of liar war Inancca,
it ls estimated that country can, il lico-
essary. spend £2!>0.000.000 sterling
without increasing the present rates oi
taxation or adding to the national debt
