WILL KITCHENER AND BoTHA
AGREE;

1t was stated in our dispatches a day
or two ago that Gen. Botha, the com
mander in chief of the Boer forces, had
reopened negotiations with Gen. Kitch-
ener with the view of bringing the war
in South Africa to an end.
One of the reasons why Gen. Botha
broke off peace negotiations with Gen.
Kitchener recently was the opposition Of
Gen. DeWet to any terms short of indie
pendence. 1t is now stated that Gen. De-
Wet is mentally irresponsible, and that
Gen. Botha will not be influenced in any
way by his opposition.
Does Gen. Botha hope to get better
terms than were offered him during the
negotiations some time ago? Is he pre-
pared to accept the terms which were
then offered him? If he is, the chances are
that the war can be brought to a close
without further fighting.
1t is true that a portion of the British
press is insisting that the terms shall be
harder than were demanded in previous
negotiations, and there is no doubt that
the feeling among a very large portion of
the English people is that very little con-
sideration should be shown the Beers,
because they have made the war so cost
ly to the British, but it is pretty safe to
say that the English are so anxious for
peace that they will not insist upon terms
that would make the Beers prefer to con-
tinue the war. They know that the
Beers are able to keep up the sort of
warfare they are now conducting for a
long time, and that it would be costly
warfare. Therefore, though some of their
newspape may pretend that the Beers
will be dealt with just ,as If they were at
the end of their resources and were at
the mercy of the British, it Is safe to as
sumo that Gen. Botha will find that the
terms will not be so hard that he cannot
accept them. Indeed, there are reasons
for thinking that Gen. Kitchener has in
structions to see to it that the negotia-
tions are successful even if he has to
make concessions which will not be who'll
ly acceptable to the people of England.
The truth is that to continue the war
very much longer would be a great strain
on British finances. British consols are
now below par, and there is deficit in
the budget for the current year that will
necessitate the imposition of additional
taxes. The average English taxpayer Is
already finding his burden hard to bear,
and his grumbling is having it's effect on
the government. Besides, England has not
been able to exercise the influence in mat
tiers pertaining to the trouble in China,
which her position entities her to. She
has been handicapped by the South Afri-
can war, and therefore has been afraid
to take as firm stand in some respects
as her interests demanded

THE BUBoNIC PLAGUE.

The report given out by the Marine Hos
pital Service in regard to the spread Of
the bubonic plague is of character cal
culated to create feeling of uneasiness.
1t justifes the conclusion that the plague
is gradually, but surely spreading
throughout the world. According to the
report the disease is increasing at Cape
Town, and there is great danger that
soldiers returning to England from South
Africa will carry it to England. There
have been reports of cases at Southamp-
ton, but it is thought they were without
foundation.
For the week ending March 3, there
were so cases and IS deaths at Cape Town,
and the disease was gradually spreading
1t is now attacking well-to-do people and
therefore the feeling of alarm there is
on the increase.
Cases of the plague are reported from
Hong Kong, Rio Janeiro. Perth, West
Australia, Mauritius, Karakuga and Ko-
ranuk. Russia and especially from Bonn
bay and other cities in British India. In
one week in February there were Ito
cases and 1928 deaths in Bombay.
1t has not been settled beyond a doubt
that the disease has been discovered at
any place in this country. Some months
ago it was stated that cases of it had
been found in the Chinese quarter of San
Francisco, and energetic measures were
taken to stamp it out. Doubt has been
expressed as to whether the disease
there was the plague.
A day or two ago it was announced
that it was suspected that a student at
the Ann Arbor University, Mich, was
suffering from the disease, but as moth
ing more has been heard of the case, it
is safe to assume that there was mis-
take about it.
The Marine Hospital Service and the
quarantine officers at the various ports
are on the alert. and it is probable that
a case of the disease reaching any one
of our ports on shipboard will be stopped
at quarantine. The Surgeon General OF
the Marine Hospital Service, however,
and the health authorities of the ports
having guarantees under state authori-
ty, cannot be too careful in impressing
upon quarantine officers under their or
ders the importance of being vigilent in
watching for the disease on incoming
vessels. 1t is much easier to keep it out
of our ports than it is to stamp it out
after it has gained a Judgement in the
countryl

20 kiss her sixty-five small scholars good

she felt slightly ill. She told the children
that she thought she had grip, so she
would not be back next day, and maybe for
several days. Kissing them all good-by,
and telling them to be good. she went

THE PAN-AMERIcAN RICE KITCHEN

1t is announced that there will be a rice
kitchen at the Buffalo Pan-American Ex-
position where rice viii be served in all
of the various forms in which it is found
on the tables of the people of the South.
The kitchen will be constructed of lum-
Der furnished by lumbermen of Lake
Charles La, and the rice will come from
Texas and Louisiana plantations. The
different dishes will be prepared by negro
cooks from the South, and the charge for
a dish of rice, served in any style, will
be just sufficient to cover the cost of it.
The purpose of those who are behind
this feature of the exposition is to draw
the attention of the people of the North
to rice as food. 1t is known of course
that rice is now favorite article of food
in that section. but it is not as popular
there as it is in the South. 1t is believed
that If the masses of the Northern people
were better acquainted with rice their
consumption of il would be much larger
and that therefore there would be a bet
ter market for this great Southern pro-
duct.
The thought is being thrown out by the
exposition managers that the rice planters
in the vicinity of Wilmington, N. c.,
Charleston. s. c., and Savannah, Ga,
ought to take an interest in this rice
kitchen. They say that the Louisiana and
Texas rice planters are claiming that the
rice grown on the Gulf Coast is superior
to that grown on the South Atlantic
Coast.
AS a matter of fact, however, there is
no better rice in the world than that
grown on the Savannah river plantations.
The grain is large, white and finty. II
is as much superior to the Gulf Coast
rice. in all probability, as the wheat
grown in Virginia, the Carolinas and
Georgia is to that grown in the West.
II may be that visitors at the Pan-Ameri-
| can Exposition will have a chance 10
| compare the South Atlantic Coast rice
with that which comes from the Gulf
| Coast plantations.
