HOW THE BOERS PREPARED
Had been WORKING for Years to Get
Ready for the War which
'sA II Now On.

NEW YORK, Dec 1S.-M. De Long, the
manager Of the dynamite factory at Mod
dermontein. In the Transvaal, has Just
viewed by the representatives of several
OF the Paris journals. He says that the
British government can have had no idea
of the vast extent of the preparations that
the Beers have been quietly making for
years. with the realization that another
struggle with the full force of Great Brit
ain was inevitable. Even should the Beers
be driven out of Natal. he points out that
no British army could ever hope to enter
the Transvaal and survive.
Since the war began. he says. heavy ar
tillery that had been carefully stored away
has been brought forth. He asserts that
the forts at Pretoria ard johannesburg
are as strong as any fortresses in the
world, and have within the last month
been rendered absolutely impregnable,
while Edelberg alone could hold its own
with twenty-five men against 1000 assail-
ants, particularly in the rainy season,
which has just begun. causing unfordable
streams suddenly to spring into existence.
M. De Long stated that there are about
600 well-trained German volunteers in the
Boer army who have not yet been allowed
to go to the front He adds that the gov
ernments of the Boer republics are show
ing great economy of strength, and have
not yet used a third OF their military re-
sources.

DR.. James Angel. president of the Uni
versity OF Michigan and former minister
to China. addressed the business men s
rsss seday upon p ne sup}ee, sad e
stance:
''There are some things which Indicate
that Acknowledgement Is not unlikely. The
same course in Africa that they are now
doing in China. Russia, the greatest Ash
attic power. Is a great glacier with its
the seward. She is on the point Of taking
possession Of Persia and will do SO, unless
Great Britain .nterferes, and It is strongly
suspected that she wants India.
China and, to dismember IT. are doing
what they call extending their spheres OF
usefulness The powers would, at one
not been for the Monroe doctrine.
But England and the United States do
not want the dismemberment of China.
They are deeply interested IN the e trade Of
of China to be. open rather than to have
some Of Its ports closed.
'Our market is in north China, and II
Russia extends her possessions there 1t
would be problem whether or not we are
to be excluded. We should prefer to have
the influence of England and this country
thrown in the direction of open markets.
China is in just the position that Turkey
was. II 1t had not been for the, great
powers Turkey would have been carved
up long ago.
1.-THE great money powers may go on just
as they have, II the government at Pekin
can hold on but that government Is so
contemptuously weak that 1t Ii always Of
fering something for help. But the great
est security against the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
China is that the great powers cannot
agree upon the terms Of division. For the
nonce things are likely to go along as they
are now. but ultimately d.smemberment
fs not improbable"
