speech last week, declared that
the United States was violating the
neutrality laws Of nations by per-
hitting the English to buy NUM-
tions of war here for use in South
Africa against the Beers. He be-

purchase of supplies here. The
great conscience of England was
opposed to the war. 81 know -

doing in South Africa is worse than

went to war to free Cuba from

are: Burn the houses, kill the

out in the veldt to die so that they
may understand the power OF the
British monarchy. Queen Victoria
