the concern, and when a large contract
was awarded the Westinghouse people
at Kimberley mines in South Africa,
Mr.. Davis was sent there to have
charge of the placing of the machinery.
There he has since remained. He
married some years ago an English
lady, the daughter of one Of the
wealthy merchants of johannesburg
and his only visit to his home in this
city was made at the time of his
honeymoon.
A sister of Mr. Davis married Ru-
dolph Chambers Lehman, the former
Harvard varsity coach.
Mr. Davis was born in this city and
received his education in our city
schools. Although scarcely thirty years
of age, his business acumen has won
.or l.4al nigh place in the esteem of
one of Americas leading Industrial
concerns, and in the war which seems
to threate his later home, he may be
depended upon to play an important
part should the opportunity arise to re-
quire his services.
Thus is the, face of Worcester known

Interest in the war which is being

Britibh forces and the Uitlanders is at

The press throughout the world is

While Worcester has not been lack

PATH OF DUTY.
Roosevelt Points it Out to Massachu-
sets Republicans.

The reception given to Gov. Roosevelt
was a grand one, and repeatedly his re-
marks, which were entirely upon the
Philippine question IN it's broadcast sense,
were interrupted with applause. He said
he liked to come to Massachusetts to
draw inspiration. In referring to his
Office as governor, he said he had tried
to live up to the theory that a man can
best serve his party by making the party
serve the state.
He said that expansion is the handmade
of peace and he spoke not from the
standpoint of one believing that expansion
was due to national self-interest, but
from a course determined by national
self-respect. The great difficulty in an
swering the arguments of anti-expan-
sionists. he said, was their use of loose
invective and their Misrepresentation of

ARE the same who now denounce the
Philippine war They hold Aguinaldo as
an ideal as they believe the Maine was
blown up from the inside. One belief is
as rational as the other. The conclusions
of the Maine investiga ting board did not
change their belief, but they simply Kept
silent. They don't even acknowledge that
they were wrong"
THE PEOPLES WAR.
Gov Roosevelt declared the Spanish

Philippines praying for the success Of the
democratic party. We earnestly wish for
peace, but not for an ignoble peace. He
said that the worlds history shows that
civilization only progressed where one
nation expanded over a tribe or nation
which was continually at war.
Continuing he said: 1--WE have got to
put down the insurrection. If we are
men we can't do otherwise. When it is
done we will take a man, like that New
Englander, Dr. Leonard Wood, and start

Referring to the present conditions in

people in the north during the civil war,

their land into untold misery In conclu-

TALK OF WHITES REMOVAL.
Military Authorities Severely Condemn
Him For Being Observation-Disclosures
Set Giant Trap. Two Battalions and
One Artillery Battery Walked In
.--Reinforcements Hurried.

London, Oct. 31.-There was a con-
tinuous stream of callers at the war
office today until late hour, every
body anxiously inquiring regarding
yesterdays casualties near Ladysmith;
but the war office declared that Moth
ing had been received since Sir George
Whites dispatch communicating the
news of the capture of the Royal Irish
fusileers and the Worcestershire regi-
ment.
This delay in getting further intel
Mgence is attributed in part to the
breakdown of the east coast cable; butt
stands to reason that the war office
must be possessed of further news,
which it is probably thought not adj
visable should be published yet. The
disaster has caused a feeling akin to
CONSERVATION, and in Worcestershire
and the north of Ireland, where the
captured regiments were recruited, the
blacklist gloom prevails, many families
there awaiting with beating hearts the
names of the slain and wounded, which
are fully expected to reach high fig
ure
Many homes are already In mourn
ing in consequence of losses sustained
by those regiments on the previous en-
gagements. Public anxiety was on the
Increase, caused by special dispatch
from Ladysmith, published in the late
editions of London afternoon papers,
to the effect that before darkness yes
terday the Beers reoccupied the old po-
sition held by their heavy artillery
which Gen. White has reported
silenced by the guns of the naval
brigade of the Powerful, and had
opened fire again.
The dispatch further says: THE en-
envy are closing in and the situation is
one of grave anxiety. Beyond doubt
the Boer retirement yesterday Mon
day. was ruse to draw Gen. White
into the billy country and away from
the British camp"
WHITE OUTGENERALED.
This last sentence is significant and
confirms the opinion of military ex-
perts here that Gen White is allowing
himself to be outgeneraled by Com
mandant General Joubert. From the
scanty adviees received up to eleven
o'clock D. m, it seems tolerably certain
that the disaster was a simple repeti-
ton of the battle OF MaJuba HILL
though on a larger scale. The two
regiments were allowed to march into
a trap set for them by the Beers. 1t is
simply a case of the Boer spider and
the guileless British fly. In fact, the
whole engagement of Monday seems to
have been brought on by Commandment
Genera, Joubert, who skilfully con-
ceived a gigantic trap, out of which
Sir George White only escaped with
disaster.
WHITE IN A TRAP.
Gen. White advanced the idea of
driving the Beers from Tintanoni hill,
seven miles out which Gen. Joubert
made an ostentatious show of fortify-

ing on Sunday. The Boer commander
left a force sufficient to draw Gen.
White on, while with the mass of the
Beers he moved stealthily round the
British right, to deliver a flank attack
and to endeavor to cut off Gen. White
from Ladysmith. The British comman-
der succeeded in breaking off the at
tack, but only with great difficulty,
and during the turning movement his
troops suffered from a fianking fire.
Harsh things are said in military cir
cles of the British tactics, which have
made possible the ambush of the Eigh-
teenth hussars at Glencoe, and now the
loss of TWO fine regiments. 1t Is feared
that Sir George White is no match for
the Beers in that cunning by which
Boer tactics are conceived; and it is
pointed out that, if the British COM
manders continue to lead their men
into obvious traps further disasters
must be looked for.
TACTICS CRITICIZED.
An interview is published with
British officer, whose name is withheld
and who is we'll known general with
distinguished record during the In
dian mutiny, in the course of which
he passes severe criticism upon the
conduct of the campaign.
Yesterdays disaster" says the Of
ticer in question, lis only another proof
of serious laundering. Although SIS
George White is a good regimental
commander, he does not seem to excel
in strategy or the management of a
big division. / regard the Glencoe bus
mess as another example of blunder-
ing"
Proceeding to discuss the engage
ment at Glencoe, the officer observes:
Some of the enemy's officers were al
lowed to occupy and plant guns on Ia
lana hill. Nothing was done to stop
this until the Beers began to shell
Glencoe on the fourth night. AS for
yesterdays casualty, it seems mex
cusable that the two regiments should
have been allowed to separate them
selves from the main body, especially
with a considerable swarm of the enc
my against them.
DISGUSTED WITH WAR OFFICE.
Il know I am expressing the opinion
of many military officers. We are dis
gusted with the war office for having
prematurely allowed the issuance Of
glowing reports of victories without
equal frankness and promptitude in dis
closing the circumstances discountinR
these reports" 1t is rumored late this
evening, that the war office has ALREADY
decided to supersede Sir George Stew
art White. About 5000 fresh TROOPS
will arrive at Cape Town on Sunday
next from England, and will be avail
able to reinforce Sir George White.
Transports will arrive there daily after
Sunday, until, by the end of next week.
5000 troops will have been landed in
South Africa. These men are intended
for Gen. Sir Redvers Buffers army, but
they will undoubtedly be detached to
Natal if the situation there should be-
come perilous. The British army will
eventually reach the total of 1854, OF
