to go back into German hands at the conclusion of peace, nor Is 1t likely that England will care to add to it's direct responsibilities by creating it a separate crown colony It is generally regarded as inevitable, therefore. that the greater part of southwest Africa will ultimately be included as an additional province of the Union of South Africa, with the exception of the Caprivi strip which may be added to the Chartered com pany's territories in central Africa.
 For the immediate future temporary arrangements will be made for the ad- ministration of the new territory during the remainder of the war under a gov ernor appointed from Cape Town with the approval of the London government
 Plans are already being discussed for the further development of certain parts of the conquered colony. The construc- ton of a railway from Livingstone tc the west coast, which would open ur the rich cattle country of northern Rho desia by a shorter route to the sea, vii apparently be the first big engineering work to be undertaken. Later will come the development of the great minera wealth of the country, while it is ex pected that those parts which are suit able for pasture will be occupied bN Boer trappers from the Transvaal ant Orange Free State.

Cape Town, August 4-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-The cost to South Africa of the war in southwest Africa. which resulted in the loss of that country to Germany. is estimated in official circles at s67 100000. The sup precision of the rebellion at home was responsible for the expenditure of an ad- ditonal S2o.0oo0o0.
 The close of the war in southwest Africa has led to discussion as, to the future of the conquered German colony When General Botha was invited by the British imperial government to under. take a campaign into southwest Africa last August 1t was stipulated that any occupied territory should be held unpe- servedly at the disposal of the British government The belief here is that the imperial government will under no cir cumstances, allow any of this territory

 In the case of q bigger lealx-when the ship has been stove in below the water line-a large mat made of canvas and oal<um Is used. This has to be fixed Into position by means of ropes.

Two or three other ropes are also required at
