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."
