VERY YOUTHFUL
WARRIORS OF ELEVEN INCLUDED
AMONG BoERs NOW LAYING
DOWN THEIR ARMS. "
MAJORITY ARE UNDER THIRTY

Dewet Says the Youngsters Were His
Best Fighters, Frequently Holding
Positions After the Older Burghers
Had Cleared out-Bitter Feeling
Exists Among the Leading Beers
Against France and Germany.
Pretoria, June 13.-In all 1925
Beers have surrendered up to date.
Many are youngsters of eleven years
old and upward. The majority of them
are under thirty, though some of the
burghers who have SUI rendered are
septuagenarians Reports from all
the districts say that the burghers are
increasingly friendly. The only bit
terness observable among the leading
Beers here is against France and Ger
many. They declare that the war was
protracted unnecessarily, owing to
hopes held out by the French and Ger
man press. They are SO incensed that
they have expressed the hope that
some day they will fight on the side
of the British against one of those
powers.
The anticipated friction between the
surrendered Beers and their former
comrades Of the national scouts has
not materialized to any extent.
The Beers admit they received their
ammunition through Portuguese terri
tory.
General Dewet says the youngsters
were his best fighters and frequently
held positions after the older burghers
had cleared out. The Beers Of the Or
ange River Colony are handing in only
a small percentage Of their ammunI-
ton. They explain that they used most
of it in hunting game since the peace
agreement was signed.
Addressin" the surrendered Beers at
Kronstadt, range River Colony, Gen
eral Elliott said the only wish of KIM
Edward, his government and the Brit
ish people was to help the burghers
and get them back to their farms as
soon as possible. The king, the sen
eral added, had telegraphed congratu.
lating the burghers on the good stand
they had made. This announcement
was greeted with lusty cheers for the |
king and for Lord Kitchener.

THE Spelling OF THE CITY's
STREETS.

There can be no defense Of the act of
authorized the changing Of sidewalks from
the property line TO the curb. Already
much damage has been inflicted and much
more Will be unless the Board of Public
Works refuses to grant further changes Of
that kind. Upon some narrow cross-streets
running east and west a sidewalk next
the curb may be necessary, but even that
may be doubted. The wide streets running
north and south, particularly on the North
Side. were made beautiful by having the
sidewalks laid next to the property line.
leaving a broad strip between the walk
and the street. Such construction has been
a distinctive feature of the city, and has
added value, comfort and beauty to the
more prominent streets. 1t made possible
the growing of stately trees along the
streets. This growth Of trees mas afforded
a sheltered walk in hot weather for pc
destrians, and many streets are arched
with the spreading branches of the trees,
absorbing the fierce rays of the sun. The
changing of the sidewalk to the curb will
bring the cemented walk so near to the
trees that they will be destroyed. Thus,
In the course of a few years, wide avenues
which are arched with trees will be with
out their beauty and protection. The dy-
ing-out process has already been noted.
Sidewalks which are now shaded, and in
the season have wide borders of grass-a
delight to pedestrians, who are the ma
~jority-will be pushed out to the curb to
receive the filth and the heat of the car
riage way.
There is no argument of a convincing ma
ture in favor of the change of the original
plan which was the distinctive feature of
indianapolis. Why was II done? Who de-
vised this scheme to deprive the people of
a part of their property in the streets? a
few persons who, having built houses on
the property lire, coveted the city's land
for private use. Already, where property
owners nave induced the ctiy's officials to
make the change, some of them have taken
possession of the space in front of their
houses out to the cement walk and are
using it as private property. AS Mr.. w. w.
Woollen pointed out in his remarks before
the Audubon Society Friday evening,
twenty years of undisturbed occupation
gives those who have taken or may take
this strip of ground from the city a clear
title to il.
One of the best things the Board of
Public Works can do is to refuse to con-
tinue the ruinous policy of it's predecessors
To-day a proposition will be before it to re-
OF Capitol avenue. 1t should be labeled
q scheme to destroy the trees. the beauty
and the comfort of Capitol avenue, to the
end that a few property holders may seize
and convert to private purposes a strip OF
the city's property.

PRESIDENT OF MooRE's HILL.
DR.. c. w. Lewis's Strong Sermon at
HaII-PIace Church.

DR.. c.. w. Lewis, president Of Moore's
Hill College, spoke yesterday morning at
Hall-place NJ. E. Church. DR.. Lewis's
theme was 1.-The Unity of the Race" His
subject treated on the necessity of the
hospital being erected in this city. At
the close of his discourse nearly $500 was
pledged. The text treated by Dr.. Lewis
was Acts xvii, &c: And hath made one
blood all nations of men to dwell on the
face of the earth DR.. Lewis said in part:
1T is sometimes recorded that after Lynn,
Mass, had been founded parties explored
the country some miles west and came
back with the report that the country was
without value and that civilization had
probably reached its western limit. That
was the day Of small things. Later in
vestigation revealed the fact that west of
Massachusetts, beyond the banks of the
Hudson; beyond the western shadows OF
the Alleghenies; beyond the laundering
Niagara, beyond the hills and valleys and
rolling slopes of the Northwest Territory
there was a mighty empire waiting only
the touch of human hands TO spring into
life that would thrill the nations of the
world when they felt its life-giving power.
The larger vision of unity OF race has been
breaking on American thought with a
rapidity only equaled by the development
of things physical. The greatest thing IN
our clVlllZdUOn To-Day Is not IN DOundleSS
resources, not geographical position, not
marvellous commercial growth, but is found
in the fact that we have come 10 a realiZa-
ton of the truth that we have an abiding
interest in humanity everywhere. This
spirit of humanity is not bounded by rivers,
nor mountains, nor seas, but is girdling the
globe. And everywhere oppression. is
found, wherever suffering humanity is.
there the spirit of human helpfulness,
which is the spirit of Christ. will go. OF
all organized forms of helpfulness nothing
seems so Christ-like as the answer TO the
appeal of physical suffering.
What a splendid opportunity in Indiana
for the building of "a great hospital, such
as is proposed at the present time. We
have been a little slow as a church in
reaching men through physical suffering.
We have made a little too much out Of
numbers. but finally have got started In
this thought in the unity OF the race, and
the result is only a question OF time.
at is a great thing to respond TO the
calls for mercy that issue from a burning
building or from a fever-stricken city, but
II requires more courage, more love for
God and man and a higher conception OF
duty for a man TO go into his pocket and
provide against calamity"
