mutny. The time that has elapsed
since the Boer war has given an OPP
portunity for the Beers to compare
their greater prosperity under pres
ent conditions than under the Kruger
regime. Secondly the Beers are not
hero worshipers. They are individ.
uaiists, which fact made them such
remarkable guerrilla fighters during
the war against England fourteen
years ago. The same trait will now
work to cause each Boer, very largely
to make up his own mind for himself
in the present crisis. Despite the
prestige of DeWet and Beyers, the
Beers probably will not be stampeded
into mutiny enmasse. The final and
without doubt, the most important
fact that will operate against SER
ious revolt, is the full self-sovernment

The Boers possess as much free
dom, in fact, as il they were wholly
independent and they enjoy greater
prosperity and have their freedom
guaranteed without charge by the
British imperial forces. These cir
cunstances seem to lead to the con-
clusion that the present revolt will be
largely confined to those Beers who
have personal and not national
grudges and spite to repay.

NEW YORK, Oct. 90. III a. m.)-
The mutiny Of General DeWet and
General Beyers In the Union Of South
Africa is more serious affair than
the initial revolt led by Lieutenant
Colonel Maritz. peWet and Beyers
have far higher qualities Of leader
ship than Maritz possesses and their
prestige is capable Of exerting more
pressure on the Beers to join the up
rising. Nevertheless the chances are
very much against serious conse-
consequences following the attempted
revolution. At most, the British troops
IN South Africa may have to be kept
within their own boundaries during
the war, this possibly saving the Ger
man colonies from capture.
This would be in itself a decided
victory for Germany, but such an out
come is by no means certain. The at
tltude OF Portugal will play an import
ant part in the development Of the sit
uation. Eleven thousand Portuguese
troops are Believed to have been TAX
en- to South Africa on British trans
ports since the war began. Gernany's
invasion Of Angola Indicates Berlin's
belief that the troops are destined for
use against the German colonies, to
fcrstaIi which Germany has begun an
offensive campaign against Portuguese
Possessions. The Portuguese prob
ably will not be used to suppress the
south African uprising unless the sit
uasion becomes very serious. They
WIN doubtless be sent into German
East and West Africa to prevent Ger
man assistance being sen. to the Beers
and to prepare the way for British
operations IL the Boer revolt can be
quickly suppressed.
Three considerations work against
