LIGHT ON THE AFRICAN WAR.

I
on "The Americanization OF the
World" makes the statement that the
South African war was the direct re-
suit Of jealousy Of American influence
This is a somewhat startling PROPOSE
ton. but It is made on the authority
of the late Cecil Rhodes himself. And
he ought TO know.
Mr.. stead traces the events that lea
to hostilities. back TO the Hateful raid
led by DR.. jameson, He declares that
Mr. Rhodes had no fear Of and no anil
mostly toward the Beers. He knew
that South Africa cannot he governed
without them, and that they are better
both physically and morally than the
majority Of their opponents. why
then did he enter into the conspiracy
for the overthrow of President Kruger
on this question Mr.. stead quotes Ce-
ell Rhodes as follows:
1T seemed to me quite certain that
Il | did not take a hand In the game
the forces on the spot would soon make
short work Of President Kruger Then
] should be face to face with an Amerl-
can Republic-American in the sense

les. They would have federated, win
IL as a center and We should have lost
South Africa. To avert this catas-
trophe 10 rope in the Outlanders pc
fore it was too late | did what ! ala
This throws considerable light upon
the secret history Of the most remark
able conflict of modern times. Cecil
Rhodes, IT appears, was afraid of the
establishment In South Africa Of a re-
public. Independent Of Great Britain.
TO prevent this he found 1t necessary
to involve the two republics in a war
with England. This was done by
means of the Jameson raid, which led
first to Boer ornaments and British
concentration Of troops and then &c
the negotiations conducted by LORD
Miner, and finally TO actual hostlll-
ties.
Much nonsense has been written
about the low-grade civilization OF the
Beers and the necessity Of a war tc
bring them into harmony with moderr
culture. but It is apparent that theS

and start the disastrous conlagration
in the ashes OF which It was lntende
that the hopes Of South African IN

pattern. should be buried for ever

That extraordinary human document,
