of Acting prest Schalkburger and the
other civilian leaders OF the Beers to
induce such men as Gen DeWet and
Delarey to surrender Possibly they
think, the representatives. Of the Trans

that they have any authority to inn
pose submission on the commanders In

The most hopeful sign they see In the
announcement that Lord Kitchener
permitted Mr. Schalkburger and his
companions to proceed to the Orange
river colony the contention being that
unless the British commander. ln-c chief
In South Africa, who Is ON the
