South Africa for refusing TO fight against his
own countrymen John McLachlan, jr., aged
thirty eldest son of John McLachlan, of Wands
worth and grandson of the late john McLach-
lam of Lambeth.
The Spectator" commenting the above
says that if the statement contained in the
notice is true the whole English speaking world
should ring with denuncations of crime so de-
testable Especially it adds, "shoud Ameri-
cans speak out on such a matter for they
showed the true way IN their treatment of tech
nical rebels and set an example to mankind"

APPEAL FOR AMERICAN SYMPATHY
A LONG DOCUMENT SENT OUT BY SECRE
TARY REITZ FROM PRETORIA.

TARY REITZ FROM PRETORIA.
London Feb. 3.-The papers here publish ex-
tracts from remarkable document emanating
from the office of the Secretary of State at
Pretoria dated December Is. The document
comprises ten thousand words, and is counter
signed by Secretary of State Reitz- 1t seems
specially written for the American public. 1t
says:
We to a great extent, depend on America and
Europe for our foodstuffs. It will be criminal
on the port of the great Powers to suffer TINS
little nation to perish by famine since the sword
has failed Since. in 1870 the President of the
United States acknowledged our republic as a
sovereign State, Americans have focked here
in numbers. In every instance the hand OF fel-
lowship has beel extended TO them. Not a
single of disagreement is on record, but
with the first war note OF the oppressor we are
informed that America is acting in league with
the enemy. II our sister republic has no syilf-
pathyt with US; If the yroasted condescension of
the British is TO be preferred TO sincerity and
truth, We will no longer believe in the justice
and integrity OF the American Nation, and her
profession of Christianity we viii consider empty
sound.
Secretary Reitz further says the Beers have
never abused the white flag. and that the British
murdered women, children and American and
German subjects at Derdepoort

Curiously enough. after all these friend

where he taught history and political econ

on slavery were opposed 10 those Of the
people among whom he lived. and the

him little better than an iufdel, he held

that he wrote his three great works. 'Po-

Government" He never felt at home in
the South, however. and wrote in his
letters TO his friends:

In 1857. twenty-five years after his ap-
pointment in South Carolina. Lieber was
asked TO accept the position Of professor OF
history aud political science in Columbia
College in the shaping OF whose policy
he had already had some influence. Sew
eral years later he was transferred 10 the
Law School, where he remained until his
death. During the last ten years OF his
life he took an absorbing interest in the
subject Of international law, and often
called his friendship with Bluntschli and
Iaboulaye the scientific clover leaf"
since all three men. belonging TO different
countries were closely united in their
thought on this subject.
Il is 10 be regretted that more extracts
from Lieher's own writings are not given
in this work. although he undoubtedly PIT
the best OF himself into his political works.
But the brief passages from his letters and
diaries here quoted are sufficiently inter
cstiug TO make the reader wish for more.

We met them on the common way;
They passed and gave no sign
The heroes that had lost the day,
The failures. half divine.
Ranged in a quiet place. we see
Their mighty ranks contain
Figures too great for victory,
Hearts too unspoIled for gain.
Here are earth's splendid failures, come
From glorious foughten fields;
Some bear the wounds of combat, some
Are prone upon their shields.

Never a sign in this empty nest
of the love that mated. the love shat sung;
The bird, are flown 90 the east and West
And the husk Of their homestead has no tongue
To tell Of the sweet still summer eyes.
OF the sweeter. merrirr summer days;
Only a nest in the falling leaves.
And silence here in the woods dlrk maze.
But hold in my hand the dainty thing,
Woven Of feather and fluff and reed.
Once twas the haven Of breast and wing,
And the shelter of call0w and helpless need,
1t tells OF a passionate gladness gone;
1t dumbly whispers that love is best;
That never a night but has had dawn
And drop kiss in the empts nest

I'VE seeking SGcn a place sutI q hoard
That he and his the common lot may cheat
And live unvexed by fate.
Vain wish. fond dream
That ever fades on eve Of coming true
There is no easy, uuclrncd joy on earth
save what God gives; the iustiuess Of youth.
And loves dear pangs. All other JOYS We gain
Nv striving. and so qualified We are
That Efforts zest needs a. much consoles
As efforts gain. Both issues are our due.
Sore lot II is TO sweat and not be filed
But sore - well aye TO be filled. nor sweat.
Ever to plough and another reap
oh, that is hard; but ease that stretches far
Beyond the space that labor's waste repairs
Speeds to decay Death lies hid in that,
And seeds Of every sin that rots the strength
And stains the soul. Better when work is past
Back mo dust dissolve and help seed
Climb upwards than with strength still null
Deny to God His claim and thvart His wish.
Fond feds with gold in store whose end
Glutted with unused opportunity,
behold drift idle on inglorious tides,
Nor ever tnm a sail nor make port;
Playing that life is play, until at last
They sink at anchor.
Sorrier still the wights
Whom poverty's dstreSses vainly goad.
Whose wants too grasping for their shiftiess pow
Drive not to work but from it. This too hard
They deem, and that too slow, and ever seeking
ease
And stunning toll. nor gold nor strength they
win.
But weak inapt unskiied. incapable,
Their bitter cry assails the Tranquil stars
While labor's trampling hosts surge over them
To our dim sense Gods plan seems often
harsh.
Big FISH eats SMALL earthquakes and storms de-
strOy;
Greed strips the poor; guile plumbers righteous
ness.
But watch see empires fall; see greed o'erreacb
Its lust. power in fear Of rival power
Raise up its subject strength, clOthe hands with
skill,
Teach minds to think; were strength not powerful
Whose need would n0urish thew and burnish
thought?
Could not the leader and the learner claim
Their Efforts guerdon. a stagnant earth
Successive races round and round might move
But never forward Wounds and wants and fears
The seething urgency Of discomfort
And eroans and tears grim tokens in themselves
May help mankind fulfill its destiny.
Oh Prodigal Of means and men and time.
But in decree and aim immutable.
Our doom. black sometimes when we shrink

Shines glorious when We face Il sturdily,
And see the shaping and compelling hand
That leads who Will be led and drives the rest.
