gun to taste it, The mastery work
Of General Roberts in relieving Kim
berley and invading the Orange Free
State has upset the BOer plans and
transferred the scene of the war to
localities less advantageous to them
selves. Moreover. General Butler is
keeping everlastingly at it, and If
Ladysmith is not already relieved it is
certain to be very soon. General Rob
erts is not making the mistake of
counting on a military promenade. but
he is going about his task with a com
bination of strength, sNiftnes3, and
secrecy which is too much for his
sturdy opponents. The veteran Cronje
has made n good retreat, but he is in
a trap at last and his army seems
doomed. The Boer invasion of British
territory, for the establishment Of Boer
supremacy over it and over all South
Africa, has given place to a British in
vasion Of the Bocr states for the pur-
pose of establishing, or confirming,
British supremacy.

attempting 10 force these rules on the

or TO attempt TO seize control Of auto
