REMARKABLE BOOK.
It Is perhaps the most remarkable book
by the most remarkable leader that any re-
cent war has produced. The concise, simply
told tale of the extraordinary campaign Is
marked throughout with the stamp Of truth.
The badness of the narrative only serves
to bring into relief the fiery passages when
a strong man literally biurts out his SOUL
In pathetic regret or bitter denunciafion-
In thus taking the public into his con-
fidence De Wet loses nothing Of the glamour
with which his exploits in the field surround

ESTIMATE OF ENGLAND.
De Wet declares that whatever the Eng
lish people may have to say in discredit OF
General Butler. he had to operate against
stronger positions than any other British

General has but slight praise for Lord
Roberts and little more for Lord Kitchener.

those who rejoice at my miraculous escapes
give all the praise to God.
Nevertheless. the book teens with ac-
counts of military ara other stratesies by
which De Wet outwitted his pursuers.
Frequently he recouEts cases Of desertion
and panic among his own men when his
entreat!es and "sjambok!ng'' were all OF no

cronte for his bravery. but declares he lost
