NOW 1T is ROBERTS.
British Commander in South Africa
Promises Some Real Live War.


London, Feb. 13.-Lord Roberts
has gathered $4,000 men, with whom,
according to the best military opin-
ion in London, he purposes turning
the left of the Magersfontein lines
near Jacobsdal. entering the Free
State. compelling Gen. Cronje to raise
the siege of Kimberley and thus max
ing his first step toward Bloemfon-
tein.
Lord Roberts tells the correspond
ents that when he gets down TO bust
ness they shall have ample opportuni-
ties to send news. His chief press
censor yesterday issued new rules and
in future all written communications
are to go unchecked. Only kilograms
will be censored. For the next few
days little news is likely to get
through, but later there viii be more
freedom. Thus says the ceusor and
the last clause may be interpreted 10
mean that something is about to hap
pen.
Kimberley, 20 miles away from the
Modder river position, is in sore
straits. Details Of the December
death rate show that In population
Of $4,000 whites and 10000 blacks the
mortality was so whites and 1888
blacks per 1000, The infantile death
rate was 671 per 1000 among the
whites and 912 per 1000 among the
blacks. Enteric fever was prevalent.
Meanwhile the bombardment by the
Beers has increased and there Is i'm
minent danger of the town falling
under the very eyes of Lord Roberts.
II is believed in circles close to the
war Office that he will move at once.
Latest War Estimate.
London, Feb 1.-THE supplement-
ary army estimate shows that in
consequence of the war the amount
now wanted is el3,OOO,O00 ($65,OOO,-
000), and the number OF additional
men to be provided for 10000. The
original estimate for men for the
year was 1S4,s53. In October last 35.-
900 more were voted and 10000 are
now provided for This makes the
total 33o,s53. Owing to the fact that
the labor market is generally good
and volunteers for service in South
Africa are growing scarce, the war Of
fee has issued an order reducing the
standard Of height. 1t is case of
either lowering the height, start in
creasing pay or drafting.

But these official Representatives of
the people were lost in the great
crowds that surrounded the church
and lined the streets along which the
procession passed. Lawton was to the
people the ideal American soldier
whose exploits in three wars made his
name household word and who, be-

the line of duty, leaving nothing to
his children but the heritage of an
honored name.

1t would surprise the public to know

vas deemed best to keep still and give

aspect 10 The standing oftheir rela-

Kept of departures from the country
md a narrower scrutiny made of the
lives led by men who hold fiduciary
positions.
The employing classes in seeking
means Of relief have CROPPED in the
direction of the old passport law; but
as that law went out of existence by
the automatic process of the Federal
Constitution Ii cannot be made avail
able even to further the ends of justice.
Passports went to stay. But there are
other means, which, it seems 10 US,
would be nearly as effective as the Ha-
waiian passport law used to be. 1t is
not easy for an enbeZZler to escape
from San Francisco either by rail or
sea, though the Coast metropolis has
been a stranger 10 the passport for
more than half a century. The reason
is that San Francisco employers watch
their responsible men and are aided IN
the effort by a large and competent de-
tective force. Few embeZzlers get far
from the city by rail without hearing
the bay of the sleuth hound on their
track: and no man boards a steamer or
sailing vessel to go abroad whose ante
cedents, IL local, are not In some I'M
portant degree known to the detective
bureau. Every year scores of men who
want to escape from San Francisco by
steamer are stopped at the gangWay
or hauled out of the hold.
1t is obvious that Honolulu. being
deprived of-lthe passport safeguard,
mist rely on the detective; system and
try TO hrinf, IL to "a higher state of eff
cheney. Employers must have a way of
finding out where their responsible en-
ployes spend their time and money;
and having found cut must cultivate
the habit of discharging those who are
going the pace that kills. Especially is
IL needful to keep watch of the out
going steamers and ships. A well-reg-
ulated detective bureau could not be
fooled about eleventh hour passengers;
1t would probably know when suspect
ed men had begun to pack their valises
for travel. Moreover it would know
something of the crooks who OCCASION
ally come here to ingratiate themselves
with the business community.
OF course when Hawaii gets its cable
the embezzlers who run away from here
will be likely to find detective wait
ing for them at the dock on the Other
side. But a cable may be long delayed
and in the meantime the business com
munity will have to take extraordinary
means to protect itself.
