THE BoER AS A SOLDIER.

II, July scribner,s is an article by
Thomas II Willard, the correspondent
who has been or the Boer side turnout
the war. ard who has made careful
study OF their fighting, and deals
with The Boer AZ, a Soldier. He points
out with great clearness the Beers
methods in the field and shows how the
Dominance Of individuaIism in the
ranks and lack of Willingness 70 yield
the5corduct Of affairs to the proper lead
5ers have caused large percentages of
their defeats and deprived them of
many opportunities for taking advan-
tage of British mistakes and reverses.
He says:
The Boer must be wheedled into fight
ing, and none but native officers can do
this If not treated TO his notion, he win
ssu!k, and a Chinaman will fight better
than sulky Boer. Hell not a soldier
and doesn't pretend to be. The glamour
of battle attracts him not and his pride
in victory is SO subdued as TO seem en-
tirely lacking. The dull routine of the
isolation and case of his farm, and he
frequently insists upon having his wife
with him in the laager. Let me tell the
truth. The Boer is lazy. He is almost
to lazy to go and fight. He is entirely
too lazy TO scout or do picket duty or
dig trenches. He will permit position
to remain easily assailabe when few
strokes of pick and shovel would rem
der it inlpregnable. He makes nothing
of sleeping on sentry duty, knowing we'll
that he will not be punished If caught.
Environment and climatic Influences are
responsible for this lack of physical en-
crS; He acknowledges no sequence in
rank, and II his own commandment is
killed will take orders from no one un-
der the commandment general. This
leaves endless openings for demoraliza-
ton and lisintegration of the comman-
does. II the Boer decides to abandon a
position no protest Of any officer will
prevent his carrying out his design or
check his retreat. Take him altogether,
lie il q very unsatisfactory soldier for
trained oMcers TO command.

YOUNG MEN hi inns CAMPAIGN.

In brilliant discussion of the duty
of young men in this campaign, Hon.
James E. Watson. member of congress
from Indiana, writes thus in Success"
for July:
Who. then, are young men? They
are those who eagerly face the future;
who heroically confron. new condi-
lions and meet new problems; who
have an Astounding faith in the future
to live in the past. but whose minds and
convictions. All such are young, re-
points of distinction between the debil-
sity of age and the virility of youth?
Courage. self-reliance and an unwaver-
ing faith in destiny, or in the processes
of evolution. or. better yet. in God.
Men constantly limit themselves by
their thoughts. The man who. III the
presence of any task. folds his arms
and lazily asserts I cant renders him
