You Americans would be amazed at the attitude of our late enemies. Yes terday l saw a trainload of prisoners gn- ing to the prisoners camp at BloemfOn- tein. All the men were as merry as schoolboyS out for holiday. They waved their handkerchiefs. and when l wished them good luck. they responded with raised hats. and shouted. God bless you! They looked fat and well. and not at all the ill-used people some of your papers picture them. wounded Boer, who died recently. was buried with full military honors at the camp where he died. with the union jack on his coffin. You would be surprised to see how glad the Boers seem to be that the war is over"
