if I may say so, of almost all public discussion of our South African diffi culties is the tendency to concentrate attention too exclusively upon the Boers. The question bow a particular policy will effect not merely our en emies, but our now equally numerous friends, seems seldom to be adequately considered. And yet it would .seem that justice and policy alike should lead m to be m eager to consider tho feel ings and interests, and to retain the loyalty, of those who are fighting on oar side s*b to disarm the present enmity and win the future confidence of those wbi are fighting against w. And this principle would seem all the easier to adhere to because there is really nothing which the great body of tha South African loyalists desire which is not for the honour and advan tage el the mother country to insist «pon. Of vindictiveness or a desire to oppress the Africanders there is, ex cept in hasty utterances inevitable in the heat of conflict, which have no permanent significance, or in tirades which are wholly devoid of influence no sign whatever. ' i ATTITUDES OP TUB! tOTALISTS | Sir Alfred Milner, in a concluding I passage, thus deals with Soatfa African ! feeling in general on the war :— * If I might sum up the predomi nant, and indeed, the almost unani mous feeling of those South Africans who sympathise, with the Imperial Go vernment, I should describe it as fol lows : ■ 'They are sick to death of the war, whioh has brought rain to many of tb*m, and imposed considerable sacri fices on a'mosfc all. Bat they would rather see the war continue for an inde finite time than run tbe risk of any compromise that would leave even tbe remotest chance of a recurrence of bo terrible a scourge in the future. They are prepared to fight and suffer on, in j older to mike South Africa indisputably and for ever, on© country, under one flag, with one system of government, and that system the British, which tbey believe to ensure ths highest possible dfgrea of justice and freedom to men of all races. But with that object sccom pUshed, they are willing and, indeed, ready to bury racial animosities.' For my own part. I have no doubt that this attitude is a wise one, and that it only requires persistence in it, in spile of the discouraging circumstances of the moment, to lead us to ultimate success'

How to Increase Crops

A GREAT 1 DISOOVEEY

Tfa© Dmly Express says: —The world is on the eve of a wonderful de ff-lopmeos in the use of nitrogen for fertilising ground aad producing crops. Thil it no leas a project th**n the seem ing impoisibilifey of extracting nitrogen from the air and tieing ifc as a manure, The discovery of the possibility of ex traction is due to the researches of Sir W Orookeß, the eminent scientist, whose laboratorical studies apon the subject have engrossed his time since 1892. Interviewed the other day on the subject, the cjreat scientist modestly admitted the possibilities of the case. *My investigations,' he told An Express representative, «bave been placed before the British Association. They go farther now.' Sir William Orookes is at ons with those advocates of * national food reserve against. diiftstar. Fertility of land diminishes, and itis therefore necessary to study tbe question of how to help the soil to be fruitful. He believes that t he dearth of wheat can be averted through the laboratory,, and that it rests with the chemist to postpone the day of famine. All crops need a dominant manure, and wfaeae, the great food, demands nitrogen. Bat the supply is limited, and without lit the soil will In the conne of time go barren; Un limited nitrogen would increase oar crops enormously, and Sir William Orookei proposes to supply it from the atmosphere and apply it scientifically *• an artifical crop grower.
