Beers RalIyins To Botha
Capt Town, South Africa.-As a re-
suit of Colonel Maritz' rebellion in the
northwest of the Cape provinces, Gen.
Louis Botha, premier of the Union OF
South Africa, and commander OF the
troops of the Union, is taking the field
earlier than he originally intended to.
General Botha is placing himself at
the head of several strong Dutch COM
panies, organized on the old burgher
line, which are affiliated with regi-
ments trained by the Union defense
force.
Commandments, field comets and
burghers who served under General
Botha in the South African war are
ralying to his call, irrespective of
their political feeling, to fight along
side the English in defense of the
empire against which they were in
arms twelve years ago. This fact has
had a marked effect on waverers, who
are now flocking to General Botha's
standard.
