Why Soldiers Carry Sticks


When Cronje surrendered and his
sword was taken from him, according
to the custom of war. he made up for
the material loss of the weapon by
sporting a thick club stick of large
dimensions This idea he got from
our officers at the front, who. when in
ulG ress uniform, usually carry small
sE3art-lOokfng canes. but as he was a
general, while the officers he saw car
rying canes were those mostly of sub
ordinate rank. he came to the conclu-
sion that an officer OF his rank should
have something bigger and more tan
Sible than mere delicate stick, hence
his appearance one day with huge
club in his hand-a large unwieIdIv
feavy-looking stick. as strong as the
leg Of a dining table
The British soldier carries a stick
as a set-om against slouching as MANY
civilians do who carry nothing in their
hands Privates generally carry light
canes, noncom missioned officers fair
~ stout sticks and officers go in for
the more expensive and snowy kind
but all soldiers of the queeg carry
sticks.

"On Sunday the Beers advanced down
the Ladysmith road toward POtgieters.
Three hundred horsemen, with others,
proceeded to point where they began
to construct new rows of trenches at
right angles to the road. This was
about two miles north of the drift.
"A party Of Beers also crossed the
Tugela, now very low, about six miles
below Potgieter's drift, where they

Several other skirmishes have taken
place, and the Beers are evidently anx-

Monte CristO hills, both on this side of

illustration Of the principle of concen-

derltly he ordered General Macdonald S

posed to a flank attack during the
march.

Roberts dispositions on Tuesday and

whether to hold on to his position at

seize Kimberley, or TO raise the siege

ton, whether to Bloemfontein or north

This Sc events form the brilliant open
ing of a new campaign which is being
marked by concentration of purpose
and by an energy and rapidity that
