New YoRK, July 2l.-A cable TO
the Tribune from London says:
The death OF Mrs Kruger may have
some influence in shortening the
war. Kruger himself has been re-
ported to be exceedingly despond-
ent over the military, operations,
and the correspondence between
Reiz and Stein has justified his dis
enlargement. His domestic be-
reavement may cause him to lose
heart for continuing the hopeless
struggle. His Dutch physicians
have been warning him for months
against the consequences or excite
ment, since his heart action is alb
normally weak.
A story is brought by influential
South Africans that Commandant-
General Botha was strongly dis
posed to surrender but did not con-
slider himself at liberty to do so
against the judgment OF Kruger.
General Botha has a family to pro-
vide for and is poor and without re-
sources. South Africans assert he is
dependent upon allowances which
Kruger has agreed to make for him
if be continues the struggle as long
as possible.
PRETORIA, July 2l.-Mrs. Kruger,
wife of former President Kruger of
the South African Republic, who
died yesterday afternoon of pneu-
monia, had been ill only three days.
She was &C years old Mrs. Kruger's
long separation from her husband,
combined with the death of her fay
orite daughter, Mrs. Smith, last
week, had completely broken her
spirit. Mr.. Eloff, and many other
members OF the Kruger family,
were at her bedside when she pass

When I was in Alaska, I met Will

that I was from Kansas. What part

that far from home no Louisburger
says from ''Louisburg.' He always
says from near Kansas City" There
is no town in the world less known
away from home than Louisburg. ''How

her provinces, Alsace and Lorraine.
And at this moment, after an enor-
NOUS expenditure OF men and money,
England is endeavoring to bring to q
successful close her war with the South
African Republics. 1t Is stated that
this campaign will cost England six
hundred million dollars.
And how does our own country stand
on the subject Of war? Although the
cornerstone of the constitution is peace
with all nations and entangling alli-
ances with none, we have had on our
hands four wars in the century lust
brought to a close. In 1872 we were en-
gagged in the war with Great Britain
which was justifiable on our part be-
cause 1t was a war Of defense. In 1886
the Mexican war occurred. Our terri
BILE civil war began in 1861, lasting four
years; and we have recently closed the
war with Spain, which resulted in the
loss to her, and in the acquisition by US
of all her foreign possessions.
When we read of a great military
campaign our imagination revels in the
contemplation of the heroic achieve
ments of famous generals. We listen
with rapture to the clash of arms, the
shouts Of the victors and the sound Of
martial music. We seem to catch the
spirit of enthusiasm by which the COM
batants were animated.
But we take no note of the shrieks
and agonies of the soldiers weltering in
their blood on the battlefield. We have
no thought of the sick and wounded ly-
ing in hospitals and prisons. We are
unmindful of sorrowing wives and
mothers at hope weeping and signing
for the loved ones far away. We do not
picture to ourselves the homes made
desolate, the 'Rachels bewailing their
children and would not be comforted
because they are not

fact, the nineteenth century, from it's
dawn to its sunset, has witnessed an al
most continuous scene of sanguinary
struggles between the nations of
Christian Europe.
"At. the close of the eighteenth CEN

Russian empire and the kingdom of
Prussia invading Poland, and after a
heroic resistance under the leadership
Kosciusco (who had previously drawn
his sword in behalf of American indie

subdued and dismembered and parti-
toned out between Russia, Austria and
Prussia.
From the beginning of the nine
teenth century till 1915, the great Napo-
leon was engaged in a series of the most
colossal and sanguaniary engagements
which set all Europe ablaze. Napoleon
