The following is an extract from a leading article regarding the war which appeared in an up-country paper in South Africa :—: — • The hoary old British Lion is beginning to rai j e his head once more in South Africa ; his resonant roar is now making itself heard in the great veld of this sub-continent ; and those shortsighted antagonists of his who spat at him and pin-pricked him when he slept a:c now trembling in fearful amazement as they see him arising m all his power, shaking off the shackles of apathy •■nil indulgence which hitherto bound him, and rushing forth in all his niiij".-ty and htiength to cnyulph for ever in a chasm of destruction those who were mad enough to thwart his will and to scoff at his power.'
