Without; belittling either the brav- ery or the skill of the Boers in war- ‘farc it HUW seems ahn05t certain that they have made their best fight and “that a reverse! of the tide of war has set in. General Roberts who is sup- posed to be conducting the campaign is maintaining his reputation as a, military leader and it is hoped the ’termination of the war is not very ‘distant. Dispatches were sent out every- ‘vwbere yesterday announcing the re- lief of Ladysinitb, but ili'i'fortunately the good news has not been confirm- 'ed. Much sorrow is also caused by the loss of so many Canadians at a battle at Modder River last Sunday, ‘ Vaughan Council met at the Town ‘Hall.

This matter was discussed in the House last session, on the initia- tive of Dr. Rutherford, and at that time the Premier intimated that the Government full y appreciated the im- rportance of the question and expressed the hope that a practical way would soon be found of overcoming the dif- zultics in the way of carrying out this suggestion. The general trans- portatien policy of the Government ’ ince it assumed office has so vastly improved the situation that the coun- ~‘try will have great confidence in its ability to accomplish this much de- sired reform also. ’the number reported being 19 killed and 61 Wounded. The bravery of ‘our Canadian boys and the sad fate of so many of them bring the realities of war veryv close to our doors. 'in favor of the British. General French has succeeded in raising the ‘Bnge of Kimberly after being invests 'ed for about four months, and rail- 'way communication with the South has been restored. The Boer army has abandoned several strong posi- tions and is retreating to other strong- holds. General Buller’s forces are 'on the eve of another desperate effort for the relief of Ladysmith, and 2the British are re-occupying former “positions in Northern Cape Colony. After many sharp engagements 'with the enemy in South Africa, with results which at. the time seem- ed like reverses for our brave soldiers, the tide of success has surer turned Changeâ€" K. C.
