BRITISH EMPIRE
AN AMERICAN TRIBUTE. VANCOUVER, March 3. " Egypt is free, but remains within tho sphere'of tho British Empire," says tho 'Now York Herald,' in an editorial article. "No friend of the Egyptians could wish it otherwise. England is progrcssing in her dream oE Empire. Thinking onlookers see that in a world halfcrazed as a result of tho war England has not lost her head, nor has she lost sight of what mads the British Empire what it is.
" Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa are not subject States, but daughters in. their mother's house, and each mistress iu her own. South Africa was astonished when. Sir Henry CampbellBannerman extended 3iis hand to Britain's late foe. Tho foe grasped it, and has had no cause to regret having done so. The Irish people have at last taken England's hand in friendship, and unless the future betrays the past Ireland will not regret it. It is Egypt now, and it. will bo India next."
