SOUTH AFRICAN
DUTCH REVOLT
LIEUT.. COL. MARiTZ DESERTS
THE BRITISH CAUSE TO FIGHT
WITH GERMAN COLONIES.

| Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London.-The Union of South Afri-
ca Tuesday was placed under martial
| law because of the revolt of a section
of the Dutch element. Lieut.. Col. S.
G.. Maritz, commander of one of the
| four armies sent into the field when
| the Union government undertook to
| conquer the German colonies in AT
RIGA heads the rebellion. He has
arrested those of his officers and men
who remain loyal to Great Britain,
and is cooperating with the German
forces in German Southwest Africa.
While it is known that Col. Maritz
has only small following, the affair
Is considered unfavorable at this mo-
ment Maritz is a Transvaaler who
fought in the Boer war, but at it's con
clusion was one of the irreconcilables
who crossed over into German terri
tory, where he fought with the Ger
mans against the natives Later he
returned to British South Africa, Sc
cured an appointment in the police
and worked his way to the command
Of which he has just been relieved
The territory affected by the rebel
lious movement is the southern end
of the Kalahari desert, which is paral
lei with the German frontier There
are about 1900 white farmers in that
district. Their farms are scattered
widely.
The action of Martz has had the
effect of clearing the atmosphere in
South Africa, and will compel the
Dutch to choose sides
1t is believed that a large majority
of the country will follow Premier Bo-
tina, who has taken over the command
of the army, and that Malitz will be
put down quickly.
The proclamation of martial law
charges that a secret propaganda of
the Germans is responsible for the re-
volt. British authorities say that
Germanizing factors have been busy
have exercised influence in Transvaal
and other Dutch districts.
The official press bureau issued the
text of the telegram received by the
secretary of the colonies from the
governor general of South Africa,
which reads:
Ever since the resignation of Gen
eral Beyers as commandant general
of the citizens force, there have been
indications that something was wrong
with the forces in the northwest Cape
province under command of Lieuten-
ant Colonel S. g. Maritz
