FALSE HOPES HELD OUT.
fiOers Surrendering at Pretoria Said to
Be Incensed at Germany and
France.

Pretoria, June 13-In all 1925
Boers have surrendered up to date.
Many are youngsters of IL years of
age and upwards. The majority of
them are under 80, though some of
the burghers are septuagenarians.
Advices from all the districts say
that the burghers are increasingly
friendly. The only bitterness OBJ
servable among the leading Beers
here rs against France and Germany.
They declare the war was protracted
unnecessarily owing to the hopes
held out by the French and German
press. Some of the Beers are so in
censed that they have expressed the
hope that some day they win fight on
the side of the British against one of
these powers. The anticipated fric-
ton between the surrendered Beers
and their former comrades of the
Natal scouts has not materialized to
any extent. The Beers admit they
received ammunition through Portu-
guese territory.

Paying Delinquent Taxes.

If, during the next four years,
taxes, both delinquent and current,
are paid up as rapidly as they have
been during the past four years, Kan
sas will have large balance in the
treasury. Frank Grimes, state
treasurer, issued a statement show
ing that there is less than $4,000 in
delinquent taxes due the state, where
four years ago the amount was over
$375,000. This large reduction is due
mainly to the law passed by the legis-
lature in 1899, providing that no
money should be paid for the care
of destitute insane to counties which
were in arrearages for taxes, but
that the amount due should be cred
tied upon the county's tax account.
AS a result of the enforcement of
this rule $25O,OOo in delinquent taxes
was collected. -
