There is the same prompt, thorough and efilcient ofliniul action, the some abundance 01' the very best material from which to se- lect the men, the some. eagerness to enlist, and the same popular enthus- iasm in the community to do ever-y- Lhin‘g in its power to show interest in and appreciation for the I) rave fellows who are to represent Canada on the battle-field. Indeed it is no exagger- ation to say that all these features in connection with the second contingent are more marked than they were be- fore. nor is this to be Wondered at for the situation has greatly changed in the interval. and the fact is realized today as it was not then, that the empire hst a task before it demanding its best efforts to satisfactorily adjust. CORRECTLY UNDERSTOOD. The following extract from the Lon- don times is an excellent; indication of the improvement which has devulop- ed in the Old Country in the proper understanding of the attitude of Can- ada. in imperial matters. The Times says : “ It is quite plain that the eyes of our fellow-subjects in North America are riveted on South Africa. Nor are we left in any doubt as to the nature of the interest thus keenly excited ; it is sympathetic and even enthusiastic for the British cause. This more than friendly attitude is not dictated by any belief that Canadian interests are directly involved in the affairs of South Africa. The present and well- ni h universal feeling seems to he not on y that the British quarrel is a righteous one, and not merely that Canadians would be unchivulrous to stand aside while we are struggling to confer on South Africa the just gov- ernment and equal rights which Cun- ada. has long enjoyed, but that the British Empire is an organic whole, that the interests of one part; are the interests of all, and that a blow struck at the South African branch of the Imperial family is one which every other branch of that family is bound in its own interests to resist." PEACE AND WAR. The past two weeks have been a strange- mixture of peace and war, fur in the Capital of the Dominion in com- mon with other pal-ts of the empire the anniversary of the Nativity (If the Prince of Peace has been observe-(l in the midst of stern and all absorbing preparations for war. It is nvm-ly half a century since the empire passed through similim‘ experience, in fact it is mm practically without precedent in the life of the‘pl‘esent generation.

That the policy of the Government will be fairly and frankly discussed upon its merits is al- most too lllllCll to he hoped for: the course, pursued by 0pmsi1'ionists (in the. public platfm in :in. in the. press during the, last, four (.1‘ five months gives in) indication of any changn in this respect. and there is them-fare every promise of :n hitter, and it is to he fem-ed somewhat nnedifying ms sinn. \Ve have been murh inclined lately (“pride oniselves on the pro- gross~ we are, making as a people in the development of our national attri- butes, and upon the rapidity with which we are modelling our institu- tinns upon British lines, but, we are a lung way yet, from the desired gnu). In no respect have we more to learn and greater improvement to make than in the working of our system of party government. The, way in which party lines are absolutely nhliterated in the presence of national danger has never been so well exemplified in the history of Great Britain as it has this full. and it Wuuld indeed be it tremen- dous step forward if our Canadian statesmen, of all shades of politics, could be. induced to resolutely iniluw the example set them by the states. men (If the Old Land.

The work will excel all others nsa. rec-(11d of the war, and be incomparable in other respects. It will be. profusely and handsomely illustrated. There will be about 150 full page, half tone engmvings, executed in a style super- ior to that of the largest American magazines, and certainly in striking and beautiful contrast to the illustra- tions in the other prospectuses that we have seen. These will comprise scenes in South Africa, and sketches of the great battlesâ€"many of which have been sent from South Africa direct to the publishersâ€"life like portraits of Lord Ruben-ts, Lord Kitchener, Col. Otter, Gen. J oubei-t, Paul Kruger, and other prominent commanders of the British and Boer forces.

One is fioin the pen of a newspaper correspondent who was in South Africa a. short time ago, but it is not there at all now. Another is a rehash of Livingstone’s and Stanley‘s travels, with a few engravings and pages added. Apparently newspaper reports and paste and scissors are re- lied on to make up nearly all such forthcoming books on South Africa. But we are glad to know that South Africa, with the added interest of the war, is going to he the subject of one first-class hook' hv the host, known authors of the present day, and that the same. is not being run through with lightning speed, but has been in prepaiation for several years.
