en- appears so. and acquiesce in the
will OF the Lord. knowing he will not

Mr.. Kruger describes the "Jesuitlcal
Cecil Rhodes as the curse OF South

zeal judge. autocratic beyond endur.
ance."
Mr.. Kruger declares that Colonial

edly Rhodes accomplice In the Jane

appointed Lord Miner British high
commissioner OF South Africa with the
direct intention Of driving matters 70
extremes.
