A SOUTH AFRICAN'S PRACTICAL ' * PATRIOTISM. There are many channels in which patriotism can flow, but it will generally he conceded that pride of place must be given to the patriot who, seeing his country's greatest need in a dire emergency, endeavors to supply prompt and effective assistance. It was cabled yesterday that the South African multimillionaire, Sir Joseph Robinson, has offered a very large sum wherewith to assist in the despatch of fifty thousand South Africans to help the British forces at the western front. The reason he gives for making such a magnificent ofi'er is that Britain requires assistance to defeat the enemy there, and lie urges the Union Government to follow the example of Canada and Australia. The oiler itself is a noble one, but the motive by which it was prompted is even of a still higher order of patriotism. It must be remembered that Sir Joseph Robinson was at one time the friend'and adviser of Kruger, though he quarrelled with him before tiie war. There is an eloquent testimony to the pswer of patriotism when ft man of South African birili comes forward at a time of crisis to help the nation which lias conquered Ins native land, and the offer of monetur.v assistance to provide increased fighting strength for Britain worthily fits in with the action of General Botha and other loyal South- Africans who have rallied round Britain in her hour of in> ten?n need. There is also the mora] efH'hich such an offer creates, and ■ l'-r it is accepted or declined the i !i> should convince the enemy of . .. spirit that is dominating the whole ,i I lie Empire. Further proof of this is afforded by the cable news in the additional gifts for war purposes made by the native princes of India. These offerings are unanswerable tributes to the wise and just administration of Imperial matters, and it is significant that the fertile imaginations ef the Teutonic authorities have failed even to give a plausible explanation of the outpouring of. the wealth in men and money that the war has eveked on Britain's behalf. They eaifnot twist and distort this stubborn, fact which lays at the root of British success in Empire building and development.
