SAYS BRITISH POLITICIANS
FORCED WAR ON BOERS
Late Sir William Buffers Autobios-
raphy Expected to Draw RepIys
From Joseph Chamberlain.

LONDON, March 2.-That the Boer
war was brought about by the
Vaccinations OF British politicians in
high places Is the charge made in the
autobiography of the late Sir William
Butler, which appeared today.
Butler was Military commander in
South Africa Just preceding the war.
He declared that he repeatedly warn
ed hisg overnment OF the imminence
of war. but bis suggestions were not
only disregsrded but were resented
because he insisted on holding the
English responsible for the trouble.
He attributes his recall TO his refusal
to cooperate In a plan to force the
Beers to fight.
On arriving In South Africa Butler
says he found that the local English
interests were striving to infuriate the
Beers to the point OF an outbreak.
These interests attempted unsuccess-
fully to get him to send false reports
back to England to infiame the Eng.
lish mind against the Beers.
Even when IL knew IL was facing
war, the English government, Butler
charges refused to prepare for the
struggle. but curtailed the strength
and equipment of her troops in South
Africa.
The publication Is expected to force
replies from Miner. Joseph Chamber
lain, who was colonial-secretary at the
time. and Earl Lansdowne, former
secretary OF war.

Conservation Of Phosphorus.

The phosphorus question Ii

phorus broadly speaking. Is the
keystone OF the arch of fertility.
At any rate soil without phos-
phorus In dead-and phosphorus il

say, II won't come back In the life

that the fish could gather speed Of

the speed is overstated or not, can

SAY The SCHOOL AND
HEALTH BILLS were The
SESSIONS GREATEST WORK

That legislation which safeguards
the public health and schools appears
to impress the majority of the legis-
lators as the best work of the session.
In the opinions of President Knud-
sen and Speaker Holstein, as express
ed, the session of the legislature which
comes to a close today has placed it.
self on record as having so framed
school and health laws that the work
of succeeding legislatures will be sim
pli1ed and that there is absolutely
nothing to fear for the welfare of
education and the guarding of the
Territory's health.
President Knudsen believes that the
greatest work of the session is that
which guarantees the maintenance of
the public schools as one of the first
charges on the Territory, the tax laws
having been so adjusted as to insure
funds. Such laws in his estimation
have been put through in the face of
special and selfish opposition.
Senator A. F. Judd believes that the
health, school and tax laws are a
credit to the legislature and to the
Territory. He remarks that the health
laws are the modernization of the
code of 1869. He says the taxation
legislation has been such as to put
the country on firm business foun-
dation, separating taxes between city
and county and the territory, provid-
ing for the maintenance of schools
without any indefniteness and rem.
