THE GOVERNMENT AROUSED.
Beers Fierce Activity stirs John Bull to Make
Fresh Drafts Of Troops.

London. Oct. .-"For months past we
have been told. says the Daily
Graphic, this morning, "that if the
Beers would only abandon their elusive
tactics and come to close quarters, we
should see what we should see The
Beers have taken us at our word and
the results are certainly not encour-
aging"
The chorus of dissatisfaction with the
inertness of the Government is daily
gathering force Winston Churchill. NJ
p, speaking last night at Oldham, de-
scribed the situation in South Africa as
serious and disquieting." He said the
war could not be ended by proclama-
tions or threats, but only by vigorous
military operations.
The Daily Mail and the Daily Chron-
icle comments upon the fact that the
huge British army is seemingly only
able to remain on the defensive.
The Standard says
THE Beers are fighting with a de-
termination and a contempt for their
own lives such as were seldom shown
in the early periods of the war. Their
plan is to keep Lord Kitchener's army
busy in the north and to give the row
ing commanders in Cape Colony an
opportunity to raise the Cape Dutch
against Great Britain
1t is believed that the Government
at last recognizes the necessity of meet
ing the renewed Boer activity. Prepa-
rations are being made to replace Lord
Kitchener's ost men by fresh drafts. An
order has been issued rendering it i'm
possible to obtain discharge by pur-
chase from any of the army reserves
for mobilization.
Lord Kitchener has sent home a fresh
batch of Imperial Yeomanry suffering
from organic diseases uniting them
for life on the veldt, together with a
strong protest against the waste OF
public time and money in enlistirg such
men,.
There is further evidence of the Sc
riousness of the situation in Cane Col
ony. The Cape Premier, Sir John Cor
don Sprigg, has gone to Johannesburg
to meet Lord Kitchener and Lord Mil
ner in conference, probably on the sub
ject of declaring martial law in Cape
ports.
Moedwill, the scene of the bold at
tack by Commandant De Larey on Col
onel Kekewich's company is seventy
five miles west of Pretoria and fifteen
miles west of Rustenburg. AS the
wounded We're being brought back to
Rustenburg, it looks as though Moed-
will, which is close to the Magatos
Pass in the Magaliesber Range, had
been abandoned.

To Enlarge the Carnegie Plant.
(By the Associated Press.)


Pittsburg. Oct. 2.-The enlargement
of the Carnegie plant, which was de-
cided upon before the organization of
the United States Steel Corporation was
effected, is shortly to be made. The
last big contract for armor plate given
by the Government amounted to over
$4,000 tons and the requirements were
for delivery beyond the capacity of
the only plant Of the kind in the coun-
try. After many conferences the Off
Gals of the Carnegie Company agreed
to increase the capcity of the Home
stead Plant to meet the demands of
the Government. The control of the
Bethlehem Steel Company secured by
President C. NJ. Schwab is believed to
mean that these two armor plate con-
Germs are to be held by the United
States Steel Corporation. The enlarge
ment that is to be made by the Bethle-
hem Company has been arranged for
and it is understood that work will be
started on it simultaneously with that
in Homestead. The enlargement of the
Carnegie plant will cost about s3,0OO,-
00O. When the work is completed the
tonnage of this plant will be nearly
doubled.

At the Governors office talk of the
