New York, Dec. 1.-The correspondent
of the London Times and the New York
Times says thai in order 10 cope with the

The concentration of British columns
south of the Delasoa railway have with
drawn the troops north of the line, with
the result that the Beers are back again

plentiful.
Lord Kitchener. says the correspondent.
has never had sufficient troops 10 carry
out comprehensive operations simulian-
eonsly north and south of the Delagoa

Commenting on the situation in South
Africa the London correspondent of the
Tribune says:
There is more philosophy than faith IN
the current discussion of the war. The
monthly reviews contain The eommentar-
les from various pens and the various pa
pers nave ceased to be record Of what
j. going on in South Africa. Sir Charles
Dixie draws an analogy in the Fortnightly
Review between the British operations
against the Beers and the French cam
paign in Mexico. where guerrilla warfare
was suppressed by the abolition of trans
port and the equipment of mobile columns
of picked men.
Sir Charles bikes article leaves much
unssid about the real situation in South
Africa. while the Beers are as unique m
guerrilla warfare as they were in defense
IN the early stage of the campaign There
are defects in the British system aow, as
they were then. and these sources of
weakness help TO explain the prolongaiion /
of hcstilities. Military men get little in T,

with the talk of returning soldiers. They
assert that Lord ki;chener's officers do
not cooperate well with him. nor with one
another, and that there is constant fric- |
