BOERS ARE NOT SAVAGES,

Letters written by British prisoners in

stories representing the people of the
1'ransvaal as white savages are quite un-
founded. The prisoners say they are treat
ed in the kndliest manner well fed and
we'll housed; and one Englishman writes
that they have been provided with tooth

even if they had been permitted to live!
Yet we read in some of the English dis
patches of bayoneting Beers and shooting
Cape Dutchmen as spies. The Beers as
were the patriots of the American revo-
luton or the soldiers of the Confederaoy,
are men who have left family and bust
ness behind-farmers, merchants, doctors,
lawyers and clerks, rich and poor alike
to fight for their country. The killing of
one of them carries sorrow into MANY
hearts in their small communities; while
aside from the death of some officer of
distinguished name, a fatality in the Brit
ish troops leaves scarcely a mark. The
Dutchmen of South Africa are typical
representatives, of patriotic soldiery. and
their cause is that of every lover of lib
erty Like all such soldiers. they treat
their unfortunate prisoners kindly and do
not glory in the suffering or death of their
