the weak tribe of zulus. He organ
lied them perfectly, and when the
chief of the Umtetwas was killed in
battle Tshaka announced the indepen-
dence of the Zulus and upheld it by
| force.
This done Tshaka started in 10
make the Zulu power supreme. He
attacked his weaker neighbors first,
and with every victory absorbed the
young warriors into his own army and
destroyed the old men, women and
children. In this way his own army
grew marvelously, and his conquered
neighbors lost recuperatIve power and
eventually identity.
He divided his young warriors into
regiments, distinguishing each regi-
ment by different colored shields, and
established with rewards a Compel
tive spirit among regiments. He
trained them to advance and attack in
solid formation, something new in
South African savage warfare, and he
developed the close quarters attack
with the short stabbing assegai or
spear, so generally used among South
African tribes.
Then he established an inviOlate
law that any soldier returning from
battle without assegai or shield, or
with wound in the back, should be
executed as a coward. By another
law young soldiers were forbidden
wives until after long service, unless
meantime they earned them by dis
tinguished bravery in the field.
Absolute discipline was inculcated.
An expedition never knew it's destina-
ton and purpose until far from home.
In attacking the first onslaught was
always in solid formation, supported
on either side by wings of skirmishers.
Flank movements were a regular
manGuvre, and as effective in savage
as in civilized warfare.
1t can easily be seen how the
Zulus, under such a system, swept all
before them. The undiscipIined saw
ages of the plains and forests went
down like grain before the reaper.
And every new tribe subjugated was
ruthlessly amalgamated into the vic
torious nation.
The Zulus swept the coast, subju-
gated Natal and pushed their fierce,
bloody sway far inland. The terror
of their name passed lar north and far
south.
Nor was there limit to their ravages

The Zulu is undoubtedly the best
native fighter of South Africa. He is
physically splendid savage-ferce,
powerful and enduring. Add to this
the memory of a magnificent past, the
traditions and courage of a race I'M
whipped except by white men, and by
them only at fearful odds, and YOU
have a worthy foeman. The Zulus
yielded to the sway of England through
force indeed, but the fight they made
then was one to keep alive the hope Of
better ending for renewed struggle.
The secret of the Zulu power lies,
first, in organization, and second, in
thstradition of victory. Organization
under the great chieftain Tshaka at
the beginning of the present century
gave them their first superiority over
other savage tribes, and an unending
series of victories for half a century
or more produced race of rare cour-
age and warlike prowess. The story of
1t describes the Zulu of to-day.
What is now known as Zululand-a
wild country, bounded on the north
by the Transvaal, on tho south and
west by Natal and on the east by the
sea-YGs then divided among several
savage tribes, of which the Zulus
were one of the weakest. The chief
OF noighbOring tribe, the Umtetwas,
plotted the murder of his two sons.
one of whom, however, escaped, and
in his wanderings fell IN with the
British, the organization of whose
forces he noted with shreWd under
standing. After his fathers death he
returned to his tribe, was made chief,
and proceeded to organize his warriors
into brigades, regiments and compan-
les, British fashion, and had remark
able success in warfare.
One Of his lieutenants was a youth
OF fierce and restless energy. He was
the son of a conquered chieftain and
his name was Tshaka. He studied the
organization Of the Umtetwa army
zealOusly and saw i'll it wonderful
things not accomplished by his wise
but mild chieftain. He made up his

der Cetewayo, tine great chief whose
power England broke In a war in
which she met several terrible re-
verses and lost hosts of splendid men,
the Zulu was at heart the Zulu of the
great Tshaka's days.
And this is the people who now
threaten to avail OF EngIand's troubles
to regain their freedom. They are
the same in spirit and are rich in re-
sentiment. For years they have
nursed their wrongs. What they have
