LONDON. Jan. 12. History falls to
furnlnb n pnrallcl to the Roor Invasion of
Capo Colony. A whole month hnH olapscil
lnro tho republicans crossed tho Orange
rlvrr, nnil still Orent Britain knows next
to nothing of their numbers, wherenbouts
or doings anil still loss of thu objects of tho
Inroad. Tho only thing known with totem
bio certainty Is that they nro progressing
(onlliwuril, over somo sparsely Inhabited
tracts, where they escape observation.
Other largo bodies are traversing the very
heart of tho colony. Thu onl logical ex
planation seems to bn tho largely accepted
Idea that tho Invasion forms part of n
Great, organized scheme of the Napoleon of
tho war, Oenernl Dowct. to strike terror In
tho llrltlali colony, which, unquestionably.
Is nearly denuded of troops, and trust to
the chapter of accidents to achieve such
success us will enablo the Hoers to nlmost
dlctato tho terms of peace. The halting
policy of tho Invailors. however, seems to
threuten to defeat their alms and lias
enabled the hustlly-fllled levies of volun
teers to oreupy vital strategic points.
There nro some signs that tho gathering
of troops In the rear of the burghers Is
beginning to press them southward Into the
urms of tho Hrltlsh moving from tho sea
board, Instead of attempting to drive them
back again across the Oraugo river, where
they might bo enabled to rejoin Oenernl
Dewet. In tho meonwhllo disquieting hints
urlse of tho alarming rapidity with which
tho Hrltlsh army Is wasting nwny. The
long lists of dead, wounded and diseased
bear out Iheso stories, whllo thcro nro
abundant slgnB that tho troops at tho front
nro becoming stalo nnd discontented, the
general exasperation at lioluo Is becoming
more acute and tho public Is becoming
skeptical of too competency of the govern
ment to get tho country out of the wretched
tangle.
Denounce tlw Duke,
Seldom has there been such a universal
condemnation of the tittcrunccs of a public
lilnli as greeted tho recent address of tho
duko of Norfolk to tho pope, expressing
hope of tho restoration of the temporal In
dependence of the pontiff. Hitler ns lias
been tho denunciations of the Itnllan press,
tho comments of tho London newspapers
have been quite as caustic. "Nothing could
be more contemptible than tho duke of
Norfolk's behavior," snya the Dally News.
"If the Italian government had know ho
vas visiting Homo for tho purpose of
protesting against their presence In their
own capital, they would havo been perfectly
Justified In stopping blm at tho frontier.
Not content with Insulting the king of Italy
nnd tho people of Home, his despicable ad
dress also condemned the toleration of
Italian 1'rotestanlH by the Italian govern
ment. It would be dllllcult for nny Kngllsh
Catholic to sink lower."

.Murlcn About Armour.
The newspapers duvote much space to tho
Into Philip 1). Armour. Columns of stories
havo been printed, mostly apocrlphal, as
can be Judged from a sample from tbo Dally
Chronicle iih follows:
"Mr. Armour usually took six weeks each
year for driving In a coach through Eng
land "It cobIs me." the writer quotes him
ns saying, 'a fraction under 2 a day per
head for myself and guests for coach hire.' "
Tho writer adds that Mr. Armour was a
careful, but not u mean man and this low
estimate of tho cost of the coach was due
to tho fact that Mr. Armour and tho guests
ho was likely to Invito drank water at
their meals.

Korbes-Lolth of tho First (Royal) dra
goons, who died of fever recently at New
castle. Natal, recalls tho fact that Fyvlo
Castle (Mrs. Forbes-Lelth's residence), Is
ono of tho many mysterious places In
Scotland said to havo u curse which lu
Mirlably falls on tho eldest son of tho
bonne. For many generations the property
lias failed to descend In a direct lino, and
when Duff-Oordon sold Fyvlo castlo to Mrs.
Forbes-Lelth It was argued that tho curse
could not bo transferred to another family.

LONDON, Jan. 12. (New York World Ca

developments In the South African situation
are causing the deepest consternation here.
It Is now nearly three months since the
Hrltlsh army found It possible to act on the
offensive, whllo every day there nro fresh
accounts of tho daring tactics of the Hoers.
who aro acting upon a plan conceived with
ronsummatu skill and executed with
amazing Intrepidity ami resourco to cut off
Lord Kitchener's communication with both
the capital and Natal
Tho position of affairs In Cape Colony
Is wrapped In myntery, owing to tho Fcantl
ncss of tho Information passed by the censor,
but It Is divulged from the general purport
of tho news that tho Immedlato outlook Is
of the gravest possible character. All man
ner of panicky proposals arc printed for
raising .fresh levies of volunteers here. In
cluding a suggcstcl summons to the city Im
perial volunteers, hut Kitchener's need Is
capable mounted riflemen, for 40.000 of
whom, as (allied weeks ago, ho urgently ap
pealed Immediately nftor Lord Roberts re
signed his roinmund.
Tho government Is able to do nothing jot
to meet this need, though It Is stated that
orders have been Is.v.ied to wleaie overv
mounted regular nt homo and at the colonic, i
for Immediate transport. Tho determina
tion to subline the Hoers at all costs Is
expressed as resolutely as ever, but there
Is none of the enthusiasm displayed a year
ago and recruiting has fallen to the lowest
point In n quarter of a contury.
Tho blstorv of tho American colonics Is
repeating Itself with fatal fidelity. Dele
gates from tho Afrikander bund are coming
to nppenl against tho eontlnuanco of a
policy calculated to lead to tho loss of
South Africa, as delegates came from
America. The Afrikander emissaries nro
Informed by tho wnr press and party that
their mission Is n fool's errand, as were tho
American delegates In former days.
Tho paralysis of Kitchener's vust nnd
scattered army Is apparently complete and
In gloomy contrast to tho Incessant, un
checked activity of the Hoers. Soldiers'
letters homo hnvo been stopped and officers'
letters are vigorously censored, owing to
tho t.al Impression created by their spirit
less, depressed tenor.
It Is olllclally rumored that Kitchener is
developing n scheme for crushlus the Iloer
commandos In Capo Colony, but conf.dence
has been shaken In tho efficiency of his
tactics.
A perfect stampedo of wealthy South
Africans Is Inking place from Capetown,
whero enormous premiums nro offered for

statements deduced from things ho alleges

hud blttor controversies lasting for months
before tho former's departure. Kitchener,
ho reports, reproached Roberts for re
nouncing tho command when things wero In
a desperate state, resulting from Roberts
making u mess of the campaign. Ki'chenor
opposed Robtrts' lino of operation through
out, saying that marching straight nh"ad
and leaMug the rear unprotected was prac
tically walking Into a trap.
Instead of perforating n narrow route
Kitchener counseled scouring tho country
and keeping tho enemy always ahead. Char
venin declares ho heard an Hngllshmim
say that Kitchener was deeply resentful
and cursed Roberts as u "silly old meddler
who never knew anything about war except
moving strnlght ahead."
Charvenln snys thnt ono night after Rob

LONDON, .Inn. 12.--Orent Hrllaln's de

Self-debacutneut and self-flagellation seem
to be congenial to tho chastened spirit of
tho nation, forced to realize, through the
accumulation of reverses military, diplo
matic and Industrial that the dream of
business predominance Is past. It It almost

newspaper to parade tho shortcomings of
tho country. Instituting comparisons with
tho t'nlted States nnd (Jormany little com
plimentary to Orent Hrltaln. "Lost oppor
tunities," says tho Morning PoBt, "Is the
keynote, nnd tho Hrltaln which could dlc
tato Its will to tho ends of tho earth is to
day a myth."
The great woolen and nllled trades
threaten to bo revolutionized by an Ameri
can machine which Is now operating nt
Hradford. "What it all will open up Is not
fully appatont at first sight," says the
Hradford Observer, "but It looks as If the
position at present occupied by Atkwrlght
anil Crompton In tho world of Invention
during the nineteenth century Is to bo sup
erseded by Drury In the twentieth. How Is
It thnt this idea was left to n niilce lawyer
to bring out?"
Drury's Invention Is described ns tho
simplest yet devised. It Is capable of spin
ning tho toughest yarns from asbestos or
peat moss without difficulty. Drury left
Hoston two years ngo.
Tho Dally Telegraph calls attention to tho
enormous Increase In tho uso of American
confectionery In England, which, It says,
would be even greater than It Is were iho
American manufacturers lo show moro
elasticity In trade methods. It also declares
that America Is soon likely to bo supplying
"Jawbrlcks. The most suitable campaign
ing samples hnvo already been submitted to
Lord Roberts and havo been sent back for

"Small wonder, Indeed," says tho Dally

anil so or In n similar strain, maintaining
that tho senator has no right to nssume n

not only In commerce whero the spread of
American leaven Is so patent. In the na
tional game, Rugby foot ball, hitherto so
distinctive from tho American game, nnd
whoso devotees wero so proud of tho fact,
the Hrltlsh nro now beginning to closely
Imitate tho distinguishing features of grid
Iron play. At tho recent Hugland and
Wales match, when 40,000 spectators were
present, tho experts were amazed to sec
what was called the "puzzling hand-to-hand
passing of the Welsh team." This Is noth
ing moro than the familiar snapping-back
practiced by all American colleges, but
which is n revelation here. It had no Bmnll
effect In securing for Wnles a sweeping vic
tory. Tho visit of tho prlnco of Wales to the
duko nnd duchess of Devonshire at Chnts

In tho Prussian Diet on Tuesday, which was
largely pragmatic. Is hero considered tho
lending political event of the week. The
entire press Is still busy commenting on
and Interpreting his remarks. Only the ex
treme leftists aro wholly dissatisfied there
with, claiming tho chuneellor hns gone over,
bag nnd buggage. to the agrarians, while
the moderate letflsts, centrists and nation-
nllsts point out thnt the chancellor care
fully avoided definlto terms In his speech
and that hence he probably Intends to shape
hu Prussian policy, especially during the
forthcoming Diet session, according to how
nnd whero ho finds the mnjorlty favoring
the canal bill, about whoso ultimate pas
sago Kmperor William is still as anxious
as over.
Tho conservative and agrarian press
handle Von Huclow's speech with extreme
caution. They avoid pledging support of
tho canal bill In exchange for nny possible
bargain, The agrarians continue to dis
trust Von Huclow.
Tho Krcuz Zeltunc, conservative, whllo

(iilnu Problem Fnr from Solution.
Tim China bill will not be before tho
Rclchsiug for somo time, ns tho Hundes
lath has only Just received tho government
bill fixing tho Chinu soldiers" pensions.
Ocrman political circles opine that the
Chinese problem Ib still 11 long wny off from
11 definite solution, ns the question of dam
ages will occupy much tlmo In Pekln. No
body believes that Field Marshal Count
von Walderseo or the (iorman troops will
be withdrawn by March. Tho opinion horo
rather Inclines to another year elapsing
before that happens, although It .is well
known that Russia strongly desires Von
Wnldcrsee'B retirement nnd thnt of the Ocr
man troops.
Tho coming week begins the season of
court festivities, the emperor nnd empress

of tho death of tho empress' mother, heneo
this winter will be doubly festive. The
festivities begin Thursday and Frldny next
with tho bicentenary of the declurntlon
of tho Prussian kingdom, which tho em
peror Intends to mnko n great ovent. Tho
preparations aro nearly completed. They
aro most comprohcnslie. Tho nrmy will
have a holiday. After special dlvlno serv
ices at tho Protestant, Catholic and Jewish
churches each garrison will tiro n salutn
of 101 guns nnd tho officers and men will
banquet. The main event will be nt tho
Herlln schloss, to which delegations from
everywhere In tho kingdom will go to con
gratulate tho emperor, who hus Invited rep

Chetwynd, tho best known gentleman
sportsman In England nnd a lifelong crony
of tho prlnco of Wnles, Is now here. He
spoko frankly of English racing matters,
saying:
"All this hue and cry nbout doping horses
la worse than silly. Doping hns been prac
ticed on tho English turf for twenty-llvo
years. My horse Chyoro, winner of tho
Ascot nt liken In 187.", went to tho post
doped, lie was n lazy and unmanageable
bruto and needed a stimulant. I never
tried whisky, but gave a tcaspoonful of
tincture, of cocoa. It worked like a charm.
Veracity, the Cambridgeshire winner In
'18S8, frequently proved tho efficiency of tho
same drug. Tho prlnclplo Is precisely tho
rame. however u horso Is doped. Tho
Jockoy club never pronounced against It."
Concerning Jockeys. Chetwynd said: "No
ono regret's Sloan's downfall. 1 regarded
blm as 11 presumptuous little upstart, In
truding himself In geptlcmeirs society nnd
Invading places whero a Jockey wns nnver
seen before. Tho late Ixml William
Uoresford, Sloan's first sponsor, got rid of
him. Hp did not say outright he mistrusted
him. Ho simply avoided employing Tod."
Asked If national Jealousy actuated tho
antl-Sloanlsm, Chetwynd replied: "Tho
Idea is preposterous. Sportsmanship and
patriotism don't clash. Thcro nro lister
Rein- and Danny Mnher, both Americans,
good Jockeys, honest boys nnd nhvnys sure
of a mount in England."

Scientific authorities nro Ics.s confident.

thero Is nny certainty that Mara is Inhab
