A LOYAL
SUBJECT OF
THE QUEEN
Who Has Seen Service In South
Africa, Says the 9oers,
Aided BY
ANDGFRMAN OFFICERS
Are Conducting Their Campaign on
Highest Principles Of Mill
tary Science.

INDIANAPOLIS Ind, Jan. III. ].
Thurtie, a prominent English resident
Of this city, and hrst cousin Of Lord
Roberts, who is at the head of the Eng
iIsl1 army in South Africa, formerly
served in the English army and for
several years held commission under
General Methuen in South Africa. He
became thoroughly acquainted with the
Beers and their country during his SER
vice on the English police guard.
He said to-day:
'.The English are not fighting the
Beers, for II they were and had been,
Lord Methuen would never have been
trapped as he was. They are lighting
the army officers of the French and
Germans. This aid is given secretly, Of
course, but is nevertheless effectual.
The Beers are not capable Of waging
such campaign as the one now in
progress without assistance from those
who understand the science Of military
tactics better than they do. Their
method of fighting is that of the open
field work, and they are not shrewd in
the science Of successful warfare.
Lord Methuen is certainly an able
officer, and am at a loss to account
for the defeat he sustained and the
manner in which he was led into a
trap a short time ago. am Of the
opinion, however, that the guides who
were employed by him proved treacher-
Gus and were responsible for the blum
der.
"The English are placed at a dlsad-
vantage in fighting the Beers, due to
the condition OF the atmosphere in
that country. The atmosphere is per-
fectly clear. and objects many miles
away all appear to be very close. Men
a great distance away appear TO be
within shooting range. This is one Of
the difficulties in the way Of the sue
cessful waging of the fight by the Eng
llsh.
'The Beers have been preparing for
this conflict for more than two years,
and as a result they are In splendid
fighting condition. However, they could
do nothing II 1t were not for the fact
that they are secretly aided by the
French and Germans. They cannot
win IL they are placed on their own
resources, and 1t remains to be seen
how far the assistance from these
countries will be carried.
do I think the English people Will
win? Yes. but It WIN take time. mo-
ney and cost many lives.
"The Beers, assisted as they are by
the French and German army officials,
are well-nlgh invinclble at present, and
It will take a long time for the English
forces to master the situation in sut-
ficlent degree to bring about success.
The Beers have had the advantage in
many different ways"

A GIRLS FOURTH TRANCE.
Remarkable Case Reported From
Petersburg, Va.

II Remarkable Case Reported From
Petersburg, Va
PETERSBURG. Va. Sept. Miss Ma
ME Burch. daughter of B. S. Burch Of
this place, has just emerged from her
fourth trance. DR.. j. E Booth, one of
Petersburg's most prominent physicians,
says that he las never known of such a
remarkable case.
Before she went into these frances Miss
Burch was suffering from violent form
of dyspepsia. About six months ago the
young woman went into her first trance
and for three weeks she could not be
aroused or take nCurishment In the sesC
ond trance she would sing most beauti-
fully, but all efforts of her relatives 10
communicate with her were futile In
one of her frances she imagined she saw
her dead brother. These frances, Dr.
Booth says. have saved her life, as all
medical skill had been exhausted when
nature came to her rescue and put her in
a trance to tide over the most dangerous
period OF her disease.
Each time Miss Burch would awake
restored to fair health, with the excep-
tlon of great emaciation from lack of
food Her mental faculties after each
trance were always clear, and she would
say that she enjoyed the sleep and felt
oepeiited therefrom. On the verge of
each trance Miss Burch was expected to
die from sheer exhaustion. Miss Burch
IS now able II take light nouris hment.
which was impossible before her trance.
