The Relreating Beers.

If the Beers have yet won pitched
battle in South Africa, the outside
world has not been informed of the
fact. They have had a great advan-
tage of position through their own for
ward state of preparation for a strug-
gle which they have been anticipating
for many years, and through lack of
preparation on the part of the British
and thus far the prepOnderance of
numbers has been in their favor. but
whenever the opposing forces have
joined issue the result has been a re-
treat by the Beers. They have gen.
orally retreated in order and taken
their artillery with them but a con-
slant retreat cannot be regarded as a
series of victories.
This fact rather goes against the
claim that the Beers are such fearless
and invincible fighters, and tends to
show that when England gets its army
on the ground and really gets down to
business it will not have such a very
severe task before it. Victory is with
the army which advances, and a con-
stantly retreating army must suffer in
spirit and morale even though it has
the knowledge that it killed many of
the enemy before retreating. If the
English victories have been so dearly
bought and the Boer losses have been.
as they claim, comparatively small. it
only shows up Boer prowess in an I'M
bers and an entrenched position they
have repeatedly given way before the
onslaughts of the English soldiers
This can only indicate poor general
ship on the part of the Beers or poor
fighting qualities among the rank and
file of the Wanted South African farm
ers. We can only conclude that the
Beers have been over estimated as
fighters. They are kept on the de-
fensive in spite of the superiority of
their position and numbers. Even
after having shut up the English in
Ladysmith, through their overwhelm-
ing numbers. they have not been able
to follow up their advantage. They
have embarrassed the advancing Brit
ish by destroying bridges. but this Is
no indication of great fighting ability
1t is becoming evident that now as the
English reinforcements are arriving
they will make a much quicker job of
