MARCH ON BLOEMFONTEIN BEGUN
BRITISH COLUMNS IN MOTION ALL OVER
THE AFRICAN WAR FIELD

London. Feb. s, a. m.-The British columns
are putting themselves in motion in all parts of
the South African field. A combined attack
upon the Beers appears TO be in progress. Gen
eral Butler has gained footing on the plateau
north of the Tugela, after two days fighting.
On the far western border Lord Methuen has
begun a turning movement against the Bner
right while General Macdonald threatens the
Boer flank thus relieving the pressure on Lord
Methuen's front.
Lord Roberts. who according 70 an informant
In close touch with the War Office, is in the
middle Of the theatre of war. has begun the
march on Bloemfontein,
The Beers have taken the initiative against
General Gatacre, attacking two of his positions
at Sterkstroom
1t really looks as though the general forward
movement so long talked Of in progress.
General Buffers third attempt at relieving
Ladysmith absorbs attention. kilograms of
from one hundred to two hundred words. from
a dozen correspondents, have been passed by
the censor. who has apparently related mes
sages written Monday Tuesday to Wednes-
day at 6 D. m. From these II is clear that Gen
eraI Butler up TO Tuesday evening. had taken
one hill had repuscd a Beer counter attack,
and was holding the position against an enflad
ing fire from spion Kop and Dorm Kloof. His
losses. as mentioned by one correspondent,
are $50.
The only kilograms from Beer sources assert
that one of General Buffers attempts to seize
the fords failed, but they admit that he has
lodged forces one kopje.
Light on General Buffers operations ceases
here the War Office not contributing any infor-
nation.
Three thousand more militia have been ordered
to prepare for embarkation. The obsolete guns
at the various coast defences are being replaced
with modern naval guns. The Government is
preparing plan to be submitted to Parliament
for the conversion of the yeomanry, volunteers
and militia into well organized and properly
equipped army for home defence.

LIFE STORY OF THE BoERs' GREAT GENERAL.
HOW De Wet Conducted Himself With Bravery
That Earned the Respect of Tommy Atkins

If the commanders in the South
African war on the Boer side have one
quality which equals in excellence their
answering determination, it is their
capability to carry on a work which
others have started and left off, with
a success which almost equals that of
the leaders of that particular work.
No one would claim for a moment
that the places of General Cronje and
the late lamented General Joubert
could be easily flled-in truth it is
doubtful if the Transvaal will ever
produce more valiant nen-yet it must
be admitted that Handicapped as Dom
PauIs people have been by the loss of
such great leaders they have held out
in their struggle against England with
a tenacity unequaIled in modern war
fare. And to whom is this success
mainly due2 The living answer to this
query is found, many claim. in the per-
son of the loyal and fearless General
De Wet.
HIS LIFE.
When first Christian De Wet Ieaped
into prominence in the South African
campaign it was currently reported
that he had lived for some time in En-
gland, and had, moreover, taken his
degree at Cambridge University. In
connection with the famous Boer lead
er such a report was, however, erron-
eous to the point of absurdity. The
Boer general is not only himself totally
devoid Of culture, but he loathes
learning as the badge OF British servi-
tude.
