HE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA

/ There is nothing to relieve the strain
OF the Natal situation from the stand
point of the British, save the bulldog
defence of Ladysmith, Kimberley and
Mafeking. Behind their earshworks
the British soldiers have SO far done
. their duty quite in the Lucknow fash
ion, but in the open field they are mos-
unfortunate. Ealor has been wasted
and discretion too fagrantIy economis-
ed in all the outside movements Of
General Whites forces with the result
that British military prestige is weak
ened, not only in South Africa but else
where
The earlier reports OF poor marks
manship by the Beers were soon con-
tradicted by the list of British casual
ties. When the war broke out London
writer's, among them some military ex-
perts, declared that the men of the
Veldt were NO longer sharpshooters.
The game had been driven away and
the chance of rifle practice thereby
lessened while the young Beers. owing
TO an access of wealth and luxury. had
ceased to value a knowledge of small
arms. But the war bulletins show that
the Boer, old or young, still knows
how to hit his mark And what is
more surprising he does well with his
artillery. The best guns in the Boer
army, the Canet quick firing field
pieces, were only received in Pretoria a
few days before hostilities began. Yet
the natural craftsmanship of the
Beers is such that they put shells just |
about where they want them to 60 |
We read of wounded men trying 10 |
hide and of shells bursting over their |
heads; of officers directing their men |
in the open and shells exploding in I
heir faces. To be sure the British |
hat was to have been expected The
point we make is about the unusual /
facility shown by farmers with whom
modern artillery is a recent acquisi-
ion
But the three towns the Beers ere
INVESTING still hold out That. after
Ill, is the main point and all the field /
everses will go for nothing if Lady
ninth, Kimberley and Mafeking can be
reserved intact until the arrival of Sir
aedvers Buffers army corps. Then the
character of the war must quickly
hange. The Beers will be put on the
defensive and will be forced by super
or numbers to take the back track.
hey may indeed win some victories,
ut each one will weaken them in num-
ers however much it may strengthen
hem in prestige. Finally, unless the
happens in Europe, the
British will crush them by sheer nu
lerical weight and South Africa will
e free to take up the work, under the
est possible auspices, of continental
exemption. 30 E1,rs +

General Funston will soon pass this
way again on his second voyage to Ma
Mia He goes with the God speed of
Kansas politicians who are anxious to
get him out of the area of next sum-
mer's politics. His appointment to the
command of a new brigade and the
manner in which it left him no patri-
otto choice but acceptance was a piece
of political work which would have
done credit to Richard Croker himself.

The wOrk being done by the British
colony in Hawaii for the families of
Reserve men called to the colors by the
crisis I'm South Africa and the attitude
of France and Russia is one of sensible
philanthropy. IL Great Britain is to
have Reserves who are worth anything

to arms. Naturally the British Gov
eminent cannot undertake to maintain
the households of its troops and such
work must fall 10 private hands. For
the latter the task will be an easy one

Colonial rule is sort OF bugbear
in Hawaii but il does not appear 10 be
much else. The chances are that the
United States will find it easier TO in
vest every new possession capable of
self-government with the Territorial
form than to set up a political system
in IL for which the Constitution does
not provide. Where the people are not
far enough along to be trusted TO rule
themselves they may be governed dur
ing the transition period by the mill
tary but Hawaii is not in that class.
One thing in particular which stands
in the way of a colonial appurtenance
10 the United States is the section in
the organic law which compels free
trade between all parts of the Union,
putting every inch of American soil
under a common revenue system.
With such a binding tie it would hard
Iy be worth while TO call a civilized ac-
auisition like Hawaii anything less
than the Territory it would practically
become.
