What War MOUes Mean
By ]. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK, Oct 13.-The Boer
revolt in South Africa has been
begun among troops who were sup
posedly the most loyal to the en-
pire. They were selected to head
the invasion of German Southwest
Africa from which fact the British
authorities must have had full con-
fdence in them.
German agents undoubtedly got
to them while they were planning
an invasion of German territory
across the Orange river. This fact
is the most significant in the mu-
tiny, for it means the possibility
Of disaffection among the greater
part of the South African Beers
who largely outnumber the Brit
ish.
The proclamation of martial law
throughout the whole of the union
Of South Africa instead of in the
little area Of the cape province
where the mutiny originated means
either that the loyalty of the
Beers everywhere is questioned, or,
more probably. that the British do
not know the extent of the disaf-
teCtlOn.
II would be impossible for Great
Britain to hold South Africa un-
aided, al this time, if the Boer re-
volt becomes general. The recent
efforts to induce Portugal to enter
the war on the side Of the allies
may have been caused by warn
ings OF South African revolution

tuguese army would be able to do

The Germans therefore must pro-

Coincldently with the development
of this offensive in Belgium, another
German offensive of far more i'm

No. she can't give him up. 1t would
De TOO great a sacrifice of vanity anc
pride. She would be, as she says
heart-broken.
II know" she walls, "I would MOI
be happy If I married him." Quite
true, she wouldn't. Her love isn't un-
selfish enough for that. and the love
that goes down the married years
walking hand in hand with happines:
all the way, is the brand of love tina,
for purity is second to none. 1t must
bear no adulteration of self, passion
prejudice or pride. 1t must be 10C

1t leads those who feel 1t to think
little of self, but always and alto

love. Were this young girls love the
kind that endures she would not be

She knows, she says, that she would
not be happy If she married him
Then there is one thing she must not
do: she must not. marry him.
Neither should she keep him dang
ling around her for the sake of the
Joy she gets out of possessing a
sweetheart. That is unfair to him, and
unfairto her because protracted sweet
hearting, with no suggestion or pros
pect of marriage, causes unfavorable
comment for the girl.
Her heart will not be broken If she
gives him up. The wounds of vanity
are soon healed, and her sentiment is
very little deeper.
