riieiisw i\iivl_NcE. _ _
Since Lord Methuen`s reverse at Magers-
fontein he has been holding his ground
for two months on the north bank of the
Moddcr River. Now that Lord Roberts
has talcen command at this point with
increased forces of infantry, cavalry and
artillery, ii new advance has been begun.
The new movement can better bc under-
stood after ii brief outline of the posit-ions
north of the Modder River, has in
its front the strong Boer position
oer trenches e.\tend in .i semicircle, till
I
nen`s right and partially in his rear, t-he
south of the Modder River and between
that stream and the Riet River. The
Modder and Riet form a junction close to l
the boundary of the Orange State with
Jocobsdal near the Riet and some eight
miles east of the boundary.
General French has pushed across the
Riet and north easterly to the Modder,
dal from the main position at Magersfon-
tein. So far the movement, which must be
regarded as a highly important one,e.p-
pears tohave been quite successfuhand for
the time gives our forces a. decided' strat-
egetical advantage. It remains to be seen
what movements the ve-ry resourceful
enemy will make to meet the new ad-
\'8I\C€~
For the present and for some time to
come attention will be centred: upon
the movements in this quarter, which
are under the general direction of_Lord
Roberts. VVe can but hope and trust that
he will be more successful than either Lord
Methuen or General Bnller in previous at-
tempts to advance. \Ve may be sure that
his progress will be strongly' contested.
The best reason for hope is based upon his
much larger forces than Methuen had,and
especially' because of the added forces of
artillery and cavalry, the latter under the
very capable command of Gen. French.
Canadian interest in the new advance
will be intensified by the fact that the
Canadian Regiment- will no doubt have
it share in the work to be done in the near
future. It is mentioned that several
colonial contingents .were with Gen.
French in his recent advance and the
capture of a number of Boer laagers. Pre-
;~ui'nably ‘these were mounted men from
Cape Colony, Australia and N ew Zealand.
There are tenfold stronger reasons why
Canadians should sympathise with the
I-`ilipiAnos than there are for _the sympathy
extended by many of the American people
to the Boers. The Filipinos are fighting
for the right to govern themselves. The
Boers are the aggressors and the invaders
of peaceful British colonies. The Filipinos
are being crushed by force of arms in
their own country. The Boers are carry-
ing iire and sword into provinces which
have given them no offence. On the
American part a war of conquest is being
pursued. On the British part at the be-
ginning and down to the present this has
been a purely defensive war.
The rapid recent expansion of Canadian
trade was brought forcibly to view in con-
cise form by Mr. Gould ,the other day in
the Coninions. He quoted iigures showing
that our foreign trade increased in the

Mnkéo “Guns lllscovered Which 'Saved the

Lo.\'no.\', Feb( 12.---A _' #Pedal d¢SDaliC_h
from Springfield bridge,`under date of Fri-
day, Feb. 9, gives a. new explanation ofp
General Buller’s retirement.
According' to this despatch a balloonist
on Wednesday discovered the fact that the
Boers had developed extraordinary and
unexpected artillery strength on Doom
Kloof, to the British right-, where they had
managed to draw up a dozen heavy guns,
some fitted with disappearing mountings,
-and all cunningly masked. These, but for
the balloonist, never would have been dis-
covered in time to save the British from
falling into the deadly trap as they com-
the British untenable and a further ad-
r terrible and useless loss of life
to the Necessity of Reorganization. c
