right front
THE country round consists of wide,
grassy plains, broken only by ridges
and isolated kopjes.
y body Of the enemy has taken up q
position on one of the latter IL flat
topped hill TO the north of the river
1iVe miles beyond General French, who
to-day took out horse artillery ant
shelled them. Another force. 1905
strong. holds an isolated group OF
llopjes south of the Modder and in from
of the British mounted infantry. Their
position is surrounded on all sides by
level plains, over which the Beers must
make their way in order To reach tho
