(Special Cable to The Krening World LONDON, Jan. 29.—The Queen's speech, to be deliv- ered to Parliament at the reassembling of the houses to-mor- row, will indicate the unalterable determination of the country to press the Boer war to a finish. There will be no let-up until Britain attaius her objects and the British flag flies over Pretoria and Bloemfontein. This is not stated in the speech in so many words, but the) . short reference to the war, chiefly confined to regrets at the | terrible bloodshed and praise ot the men who have laid eas their lives for their country, all go to show there is not the) slightest idea of giving up the fight until Great Britain's ends), are attained. The speech will also say that relations with all the foreign States are very friendly and will express great pleas- ure and gratification at the patriotism shown by the colonies, The press is practically a unit for forcing the war.
