THE STRENGTH OF BOTH ARMIES

The Beers have hardly more than

than $4,000. The remainder of the 23O,-

from disease, aggregate more than 3d.
900 perhaps. The official reports show
1900 killed, wounded and prisoners.
In our great war the losses by sickness
were ven greater han the losses in
battle, and they were tremendous.
North Carolina had over 126, 600 men in
the war (the roster calls for several
thousands above this), and it lost
nearly Il, 900 killed n wounded, and
by deaths, added the total, was a.
900. Think of one state, with but 112,-
500 white voters when the war began
actually losing by casualties of bat
tie and sickness 1000. That tells the
story of fidelity to the noble cause and
the great sacrifices borne. So if the
Beers have 80, 900 men they may wor-
ry the British no little yet. The
Charleston News and Courier, that
suggests the above, says this:
Probably General Roberts has not
altogether more than $1,000 or $4,000
fighting men at the scene Of war, while
the Beers are estimated to have about
10000, and may have more. If so the
odds against them now is hardly more
than two to one, n both StOnewall
Jackson and Joe Johnston contended
with eminent success against such
odds on vastly inferior defensive
ground, and with far inferior fighting
equipment. The experts declare that
with such arms as the Beers possess,
and fighting behind i~ntrenchments, one
man counts against from fiv to ten Of
the attacking force. Possibly their sit

The TranSvaal has lost its noblest

afford to lose. There are few names in
the whole story of that state better
known h a that of Pet Joubert.
There is not one that deserves TO be
written in larger letters or in a more
honorable place. Amid all the hurry
burly of complaints and recriminations
of recent years he stood unassailed. In
all his long core of service, in peace
and in war, there was no item thai
could be quoted to his discredit. There
was no one to whom the Boer people
could with better hope ave looked for
leadership after this war. In his death
the British have beer freed from their
