AFRICAN FORCES
SURRENDER TO BRITISH
Gen. Botha Conquers Kaiser's Pos
sessions, Adding 322, ,450 sq.ass-
Miles to Empire.

PRETORIA. South, Africa. via Lon
don, July 9. IL a.m.-Gen Botha, COM
mander OF the forces Of the Union of
South Africa, has accepted the sur
render of all German military forces
in German southwest Africa
After suppressing the rebellion
against British authority in the Unien
of South Africa, Gen. Botha took com
mand of British operations against
German southwest Africa and headed
an invasion of that territory late in
February. His operations were reported
to be uniformly successful.
The forces under his command cap
tured Olymbingue May T. Two days
later it was announced that he had
occupied the important railway juno
ton Of Karibib and other stations after
march Of thirty-f1ve miles over a
waterless waste, during which the
troops suffered severely from heat,
thirst and hunger.
Capital Taken.
The road to Windhoek, capital Of the
German territory. was opened by the
occupation of Keetmanshop. Wind
hoek was taken May 13 without oppo-
sition on the part Of the German forces
Martial law was proclaimed through
out the conquered territory
Reports from London recently have
stated that the surrender Of all the
German forces was expected soon.
British military experts have contend
ed that Gen. Botha has conducted a
mastery campaign.
German southwest Africa is loca ted
on the west coast Of Africa extending
from the Orange river to the Cunene
nrfv NJ
Colony, extending eastward to the
British sphere.
Adds 322 ,45O Square Miles.
The area is s2s.45o square miles. The
population Is 1856. chiefly Hottentots
and bushmen. The European popula-
ton in 1913 was 1886. of whom 1929
were Germans. The military force, in
Guiding police. is given in the latest
reports as 1892.
The final disposition of German South
west Africa has not been officially an
nounced. but 1t generally is believed
here that it will become q part of the
South African Union.
Surrendered Internationally.
The Germans surrendered uncondi-
tionally following the issuance of Gen.
Botha's ultimatum. which expired at
o'clock Thursday evening"
With the exception of the necessary
army of occupation. the citizen army
will be brought home as quickly as
possible.
The campaign against the most i'm
portant German African colony was
considered SO vital that all the re-
sources of the South African Union
were used In 1t. but its successful con
clusion probably means that, despite
the fact that German East Africa re-
mains unconquered. a contingent will
be dispatched to France, while addi-
tional forces will continue the cam
paign in East Africa.
