THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR.
What English Experts Have to Say
About II.

NEW YORk. Jan. 3l.-In the Feb
ruary number OF the North American
Review the Transvaal war is discussed
by Lieutenant General John f. owen
Of the Royal artillery BRITISH; Cap
tain Fritz Hoenig. OF the German
army retiredJ; Major. General o. o
Howard, L. $. A. (retlred); Henri
Canst. formerly editor Of the Pal
Mall Gazette. and d. ]. c. voIght, au
thor Of Fifty Years Of the Republic
in South Africa"
General owen says that the BoeI
strategy has been excellent" and thai
lii military intelligence they have
shown first rate organization. They
have taught us a lesson in the use o
heavy guns OF position, which they
move with comparative rapldity in
the field, Rapid firing guns Of small
calibre Of most recent pattern are
largely used often with terrible effect
Their artillery has been well handled
mostly by their mercenaries, but the
ammunition used has been very effec
tive"
Speaking Of the British strategy
General owen says that ii is difficult
TO judge Of 1t without knowing the
exact reasons debating departure from
the original plan, but 1t seems to him
that 1t would have been better to have
carried out the first plan at all costs
though one army corps would not have
sufTicied. The intelligence department,
he says, has not bee unsuccessful.
Captain Hoenig takes the view that
"England's first mistake consisted in
the fact that her political and military
action which was evidently intended
to oear an offensive character, did not
keep pace with each other"
Captain IIeonig estimates the Boer
forces at mot far short Of 10000 men,"
and he figures that the English forces
In the field must at the very least
reach total Of 10000 men il England
is to drive back her antagonists by
force Of arms and dictate peace at
Pretoria. In addition to this large
force, about 10000 men will be required
in Natal and In Cape Colony for minor
eventualities as well as for the pro-
lection Of the railway lines, etc"
General Howard briefly reviews the
campaign Up to the time Of General
Buffers first attempt to cross the Tu-
gela river. Viewing the situation as
It stood, he says Lord Roberts must
choose one Of three lines Of advance
50 soon as he has enough men to work
out a decisive movement Dwelling
upon the military problems before the
new commander in chief Of the British
forces In South Africa he says:
"Will he take the Durham line? II
is the shortest, but II is intrinsically
the most difficult to carry and has the
best Boer troops to defend It.
"Will he choose the line through the
Orange Free state? Possibly, but
think not He will need, however, tc
clear these cross railways and secure
the country below to the Orange river
that he rnay have the connecting rail-
ways from MoIteno via Middleburg to
De Aar as a secondary base. That

We have left from our stock of Winter

are willing to sell them for from a third to a

Of course there are not all kinds now nor
all sizes of the kinds we have but we can
probably fit you to something you will like
If, then, the garment you are wearingis getting
little shabby or if you will have toget new
one next year anyway why not buy one now
