Botha has triumphed over the Gormans in South-West Africa, and , the story of his acliisvements is tho most absorbing- itom in the war news to-day. -Itis a story, of rapid manoeuvring, tremendous marches • over difficult country, and,sweeping.round-up, and ;a, stand-ana-deliVer- • ultimatum, followed by.the- unconditional surrender of the enemy, and' ■~ a great shout of patriotic jubilation throughout the South African •Union. From Athens there are rumours, emanating from diplomatic .< circles, that tho fall of imminent, owing principally to the, depletion of the Turkish ammunition supply. A Turoo-Arabian . ■ ... demonstration by a superior force, in point of numbers, is reported from the Aden hinterland, where a, small British force, threatened by an outflanking movo, retired on Aden with trifling loss. /In the two main theatres of the war, the Eastern and the Western, the outlook from the Allies' point of view has. brightened considerably. . The Russjans' tactics in, the great retreat are interestingly described by tho "Times" corre- '. spondeut, and the.tide of battle is rolling westward again, with heavy losses to the Austro-Gcrmans. 'The British on the Yser have scored a success and-advanced their front. From other points along the Western - there is .little to record. The; German Note to America has at ! .last been published, and is described by ono English journal as "unctious humbug.'■ Washington regards it as en evasion of the tion. , Germany furnishes an "explanation" of the. Lusitania crime. Lord Kitchener has addressed a- great recruiting meeting at the Guildhall, and sgokgn stiaight out on the subject of "men, material, and money."--
