declares that

ligious, most insecure, Danish by fear of

months of its control. The result will
be factional strife between jealous leaders,
chaos and anarchy, and will require and
Justify active intervention of our govern
ment or some other"
The commission further finds that the
instruction has dwindled down TO the
"murderous ambush of small American
squads and the terrorizing of the people
by cutting out tongues, cutting off limbs,
burying alive, murder and plumber"
Further, that the recent renewed actiy
ity is melted by the political issues aris-
ing out of the campaign in the United
States, "to influence the election" and
that cit is conceded by all but the men

present policy the remnant of the insur-

the surrender of the leaders and the fall
ing of the rank and file"
This puts a strong case up to Mr..
Bryan. With all his adroitness at debate
and all his skill at political fencing, he
will find it hard to offer an effective re-
ply to this authoritative statement of

directors and officers of these institutions
about three-fifths of all the directors and
officers Of the national banks of the coun-
try are indebted to the Institutions with
which they are connected. Often these
loans are heavy. and in some cases are i'm
properly secured. In consequence the as
sets of the banks are impaired by being I'M
evenly distributed In use At the same
time the controller realizes that by putting
too heavy a handicap upon the officers and
directors of the banks in the matter of Sc
curing loans the institutions will be weak
ened by discouraging the services of ex-
cellent men who are now induced to par
ticipate in the management Of the banks
by the opportunities which are thus az
forded to secure loans with a minimum of
difficulty. Consequently the proposed amend

fully scrutinised to strike the desired me-

Some days ago it was reported that Lord
Kitchener was about to proceed in the
Transvaal with campaign of destruction
which was compared with that Of Gen.
Weyler in Cuba during the recent revoiu-
ton. 1t was found, according to these re-
ports that the British generals were being
constantly thwarted by the Boer families.
who gave shelter to the commanders still
in the field, and were maintaining a steady
stream of supplies to the Boer headquar-
ters in the hills Consequently. it was pro-
posed to devastate the farms and to draw
the people into the cities. until the rowing
bands of burghers in arms could be cor
nered and captured or killed. The details
Of the plan were lacking, however. and for
some days nothing more was heard of 1t.
Now comes article in the London Elk
press. describing thus Lord Kitcheners
plan of procedure:
"He will endeavor to isolate the comnan-
does and to move suspected Boer families
into garrisoned towns. He will clear trou-
blesome districts, combining the population
in laager. if necessary. and will take
destroy all food supplies, punish treachery
by death transportation, raze villages
guilty of reasonable acts and destroy all
farms in the vicinity of railway or tele-
graph cutting.
AS far as it goes this assuredly resembles

proposes to assemble the agricultural peo-
pie into groups where they can be prevent

Kitchener proposes to force these people.

as did Weyler. The latter made practically
provision for the maintenance of the
thousands who were assembled In the re-
concentration camps. IN consequence they
died like sheep. Disease and starvation
carried off old and young alike. The small
areas given over to them We're utterly unfit
for the support of such large numbers, and
the government appeared to forget their
existence. save to keep a strong guard over
them to prevent their escape Weyler thus
made prisoners of war of these people with
out caring for their first necessities
1t is uncomfortable that England's gen.
erals now propose the Weyler process in
South Africa 1t was a crime in Cuba and
precipitated the war of intervention 1t
would be equally a crime in Africa and
