"The Boefs have treated us with
much Kindness. This was the case from

they expected, under their artillery fire.

us cigarettes or showing such marks OF

the Model School was close and severe.

grounds to complain. When asked re-.

he had had many discussions with the
Beers as to the right Of war and had
been much impressed by the number
who could speak English. He had
found that most OF them regretted the
conflict, asserting that II had arisen as
the result OF misrepresentation. So

spirit of the burghers in the field, de-
spite their privations, was most deter
mined and there was no chance OF an
