masslng their troops and preparing TO
resist the advance Of the British upon
Bloemfonteln. There Is reason TO be-
lieve that the secret OF the heroic resist
ance at Paardeberg drift was Cronje's
determination TO give his countrymen
the needed time 20 effect this change In
the plans OF their campaign. There
does not seem TO have been any deter
mined effort 10 cut through the British

There Is hardly parallel In the his
tory OF campaigns to the address and
endurance. the courage and spirit, OF
Cronje and his men. His retreat from
Kimberley was begun with OK teams.
The pursuit was with cavalry and
mounted infantry and the hest horse
trains. Yet his rearguard held back
$1,000 men until he had covered more
than half the distance to Bloemfontein,
and when he was brought to bay at
last the pursuit was checked until he
built such defenses that the fire Of a
hundred cannon, necessarily maintained
day and night, caused but little dam
age. Its sole military utility to the
British was that II prevented further
uncovered movement forward. While
he sheltered his force from British
shells Lord Roberts force kept well
away from range of the rifles In the
hands OF the Boer sharpshooters, and
made no approach to the Modder bed
except in the burrows bored by the
sappers and miners.
