UTAH SOLDIERS VIEW OF THE WAR
Major Frank Grant Believes That the Beers viii Ultimately be
Crushed by Superior Numbers, but That England VIII
Pay Terrible Price for Her Victory.

While everyone In Salt Lake Is fol-
lowing the news from South Africa
with intense interest, none read the
kilograms from the scene OF the war,
and the comments OF the English mill =
tary experts with more eagerness than
the returned Utah volunteers, who
know what II Is TO fight willy enemy
in his own country, although there Is no
comparison between the Filipino and
theBoer. And OF all our volunteer officers
who won fame in Luzon and have re-
turned home, none stand higher than
Major Frank A. Grant, the Dewey Of
the army"
Major Grant proved himself a brave
and able soldier and he is watching
every move made In South Africa. His
opinion OF the great conflict andNthe re-
suit will be read with interest. To the
News" Major Grant said this morn
ing
WAR Is war. There Is nothing else In
the world like 1t. The British are up
against the real thing, and they must
expect heavy losses They are not
fighting uncivillzed sayages. armed
with spears this time and their losses
have just commenced. Why, think OF
Shiloh with its losses to both armies Of
over $4,000 men, Kenesaw mountain.
Cold Harbor and Gettysburg It's so
long since the British army met any,
thing like its equal that the British
public Is appalled, at these comparative
ly light losses. Why, II Butler had
hurled his whole strength against the
Beers and relieved Ladysmlth. Il would
have been a great victory even though
he had lost 10000 men.
THE Beers are familiar with every
move the English make, they are at
home In rough. broken country. they
are constantly entrenched and on the
defensive. and 10 overcome all this and
win. the British must lose heavily.
Gradually this Is dawning upon the

people over there and the resolve Is
that England must win, no matter
what the cost may be-
80 FAR all that the British have
gained Is experience. and for that they
have paid dearly, just as our brothers
did AZ the beginning OF the civil war.
MY opinion Is that England viii ultl-
mately win. Just now they are censur-
ing Butler, but that always happens
when man doesn't succeed Now that
II Is all over, 1t IS very easy to see that
a mistake was made In going after
Spion kop. Americans and English are
always over confident az the start The
idea that they cannot whip anything on
earth, no matter what the odds. has TO
be licked into them. The history "
operations in India and Egypt prove
that the rule Is heavy losses at first and
then overwhelming victory.
How Is England 10 win? There Is
only one way IN my judgment and that
Is 10 mass her forces. That Is what win
come, too. Let her mass an army u
10000 fighting men. with detachments
TO keep the Beers from concentrating,
and but one result can follow. But
England must put In the field two Eng
lish soldiers for every BOer The Boers
are on their own ground, they fall back
continually from entrenchment 20 en-
trenchment, and always upon their base
Of supplies. That gives them a tremen-
dous advantage. Then they are better
equipped than the English. II Is only
recently that they purchased their
arms and II is astonishing TO read Of
their using maxims and smokeless pow

AS I said. have no doubt that the
English VIII win, but II Is going TO be
through putting such an army In the
field. numerically. as will overwhelm
The Beers SIN. II is going TO be a
long war The Beers will doubtless keep
right on selecting the very strongest
positions. falling back when too closely
pressed and making another stand.
And all this while the English are on
the offensive. must make the assaults
and take all the chances. My idea Is
that the war viii last a year at least.
From all that | can gather. the Brit

NO SELF-CONQUEST IN VICE.
The Unconscious Tribute Vice Pays
TO Virtue-SRtIsfaction I'm
Overcoming.

Vice pays, uncOnsciously. its tribute
to virtue. 1t is human nature TO feel
sense Of satisfaction In having made a
conquest OF one kind or another. The
man whose moral character is deterior-
ating never feels that, In taking down
ward step, he has made self-conquest.
He never feels the stronger for rolling
down hill. He may make loud boast
ing OF his yiciousness, but he has no
sense OF satisfaction OF JOY as self
conqueror or overcomer. As Prof.
James finely says: "He who under the
surgeons knife represses cries Of pain,
or he who exposes himself TO social
obloquy for duty's sake, feels as II he
were following the line of greatest tenn
porary resistance. He speaks Of con-
querng and overcoming his impulses
and temptations. But the sluggard.
the drunkard, the coward, never talk
OF their conduct in that way, or say they
resist their energy, overcome their So
briefly, conquer their courage. and so
forth" They, like all others, are sensi-
tive to the JOY Of self-conquest, and
know the noble delight Of overcoming.
But the fact that they never speak in
these charmed terms Of their vicious
ness IS their tribute TO those virtues on
which they have turned their backs, TO
their own damage and misery's. 5.
