Boer Strategy.

The second stage of the war NAV in
deed prove very short; but if so it will
not be due to strictly military consid-
eratiops, but TO the sensible decision
to give up hopeless resistance. AL
though SO tiny people, the Beers
have already inflicted fearful punish
ment upon the great empire that is
opposing them. Our readers will re-
member that in the exchange of pre-
dlction before the war began English
statesmen and English generals alike
had taken the view that the march to
Pretoria would be practically blood
less holiday picnic, while resident
Krnger's prediction was that if the
English marched to Pretoria they
must expect to do 1t with the loss oil
10000 men. What happened was
that the Beers, by way OF preliminary
strategy, went over into English terri
tory to meet the enemy as he ap-
preached, with the result of inflicting
loss about equal to Kruger's predic-
ton before the war had got as far as
Iransvaal territory. The English re-
Jolclng over Cronje's capture and the
relief of Ladysmith and Kimberley
was so great last month that many
readers OF the newspapers were misled
into supposing that these events were
great victories in the military sense
and that the war was virtually ended.
1t is not strange that the English re-
latives and friends of the 1900 men
OF Genera. Whites army, who were on
short rations and suffering from dis
ease at Ladysmith, were overjoyed
when the Beers gave up the siege and
withdrew. But it should be borne in
mind that from the strict military
point of view the Boer had won most
OF the substantial points in the game.
Their object had been simply to hold
Whites army in check at Ladysmith
for the longest possible time, in order
to put the English to the heaviest pos
sible cost in men and money by the
attempt to relieve White-thus divert
ing the English from their original
plan of campaign. This piece of Boer
strategy was carried out With brilliant
success from the beginning to the.end.
1t would have done the Beers no par
ticular good to capture Ladysmjth. in
as much as the position itself would
have been valueless and they would
have had Whites army to guard and
feed as prisoners of war. So long as
they could maintain the siege the
army was virtually imprisoned, while
compelled to find its own supplies.
When at length the massing of inn
mense English armies made the Lady
smith seige no longer feasible, the
Beers quietly departed with their guns
and munitions. For many weeks
the Boer army near Ladysmith had
been only 1000 or s 900 strong, though
it had effectually penned up $4,000
British soldiers under General White
and repeatedly repulsed a great army
of relief under General Butler. Gen
eral Joubert, as chief in command of
body of undisciplined Boer farmers,
had for months outwitted and out
fought about seven times as large a
force of British troops led by famous
generals, and had then retired in fair
ly good order and fighting trim, bav-
ing inflicted greater losses upon the
enemy than had been visited upon his
men in return.-From "ihe Progress

In almost every neighborhood there
is some one whoselife has been saved
by Chamberlin' Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhma Remedy, or who has been
cured of chronic diarrhea by the use
of that medicine. Such persons make
a point of telling of it whenever op-
portunity offers, hoping that it may
be the means of saving other lives.
