TROUBLE IN AFRICA.
Great Britain's misunderstanding
with the Boer Government.
Events Which Led Up to the Strained
Relations of the Present Day
England's Part Was NOta
Noble One.
Especial Correspondence

That Great Britain is preparing to
conquer the republic of South Africa,
of which the famous Paul Kruger is
president, is evident; that the task will
be heavy one is equally apparent to
anyone familiar with the character,
warlike disposition and religious fer
vor of the Beers.
Viewed from a purely ethical stand
point the English government is in the
wrong WI IN it seeks to destroy the po-
litical independence of the Boers, who
were the original settlers in South
Africa and whose valor and industry
prepared safe landing places for the
English traders and soldiers who ar
rived years afterward.
The Boers-the Dutch name for
"peasants"-left Holland in the seven
teenth century and took possession of
what is now Cape Colony, after long
and bloody struggle with the Zulus, the
dominant tribe of natives. They were
left in undisturbed control of the coun-
try for years, until the beginning of the
present century in fact, when the dis
covery of vast gold and diamond fields
aroused the cupidity OF English adven-
turers and capitalists. In 1914 the Boer
territory, which had been existing I'M
der crude form of republican govern
ment, was formally annexed to Great
Britain. Rather than become subjects
of any European prince or power, the
ignorant, yet liberty-loving, Beers
moved and wrested the Natal country
from the still powerful Zulus. BY tradi-
ton and training they were cattlemen
and farmers, and in the newly-con.
quered region they found fat pastures
for their stock and rich virgin soil for
their crops. In 1887 Natal was Boer
, state to all intents and purposes, and
