The capture OF General DeWet prob

bellion to an end and will relieve Brit

activity Of the rebels has not assumed
any serious Importance at any time.

been produced on Beers generally and
unrest might continue until the end
OF the war.
Colonel Maritz. who led the initial
mutiny, is out of action because OF

oner. These two were the chief In

LONDON, Dec. 4.-The allied forces
In northern France and Belgium are
now believed practically to equal the
Germans in numerical strength. The
offensive Of the French and British
troops, now gradually developing, 10
expected to reach its height with the
arrival Of additional reinforcements.
Late reports put the strength OF the
allies in Belgium at 100000. The eye
witness report Of Col. e. D. swinton,
telling OF the German drive toward
Calais, states that from the north of
La Bassee the Germans numbered
10000. This bears out tho admission
Of General Sir John French that the
allies were outnumbered, but with the
arrival Of reinforcements and the
shortening Of the British line this ad-
vantage Of tho Germans may have
been overcome.
The visit Of King George to the
British lines 10 said to have had re.
markabIe effect upon the troops.
Everywhere he has been received with
the greatest enthusiasm and 10 now
contemplating extending his visit. Tho
battle for the possession Of the coast
which is believed to be approaching
climax, will go down az one Of the
most remarkable In history. The most
extraordinary methods have been TAX

some small advantage and general
engagement will bring more than t.

fight which has been in the nature Of
a siege, the Germans ~ well az the
