General De Wet,

tI'f1a ' Ft.ifE y h'-ht--
Christian de Wet. Fighter" is the most
descriptive name that can lie applied to
the Boer General who has been continually
harassins the British Army in South Africa
during the past five months.
The great success which De Wet has at
tanned may he attributed to Il score of differ
ent causes. lie WAS utterly without military
training before he WAS chosen TO lead a
commando last October. Yet he has devel-
nped the fighting instinct. which is common
To all Beers. to such an extent that he
stands ~pre-cninent among the republican
Generals. He is energetic. resuurceful and
daring beyond measure. Time and again he
has led from go to 1900 OF his men
against five times that number Of British
soldier rs. and recently he and his %t
burghers escaped easily from 4 tightly
drawn Gordon IF more than s.C09 British SOL
Gicrs under Lord Kitchener. He recognizes
the value Of good scouting. a point which
has cost the British heavily 10y reason of
their Indifference. and no English General
can truthfully say that he has ever sur
prised DE Wet. All his men are Supplied
with two and three remounts. and. In con-
sequence. they can traverse from forty to
sixty miles a day with ease when there
Is q necessity for IL. DE Wet himself travels
In a tumble-down our-wheeled carriage. He
always has four or five extra horses fss-
tened 20 the rear axle of his vehicle. so
that he can readily replace fagged-out an
finals with fresh ones. Every detail In his
laaSers IS systenatiZed 70 such an extent
that ii reminds one of a fire-engine house.
Mobility IL the breath of his life, and to
fall upon a British column when It was
not known that De Wet was within fifty
miles is his speciality. One day he stood
before his tent in the Free State and cried.
..Opzaal.' In less than four minutes every
tent was down and on a wagon, every
cannon and ammunition wagon fastened to
horses. and every one of his burghers
waiting beside his horse for the order to
proceed.
Last October. when the single word "Oor-
log Cwar) was flashed over the telegraph
wires OF the Transvaal and the Free State.
De Wet was building an irrigation dam on
his farm. Less than an hour afterwards he
was riding over the veldt TO the railway sta
ton. and less than a year afterwards he
had indeIibly inscribed his name on the
scroll Of South African history.
