NEW YORK, July 9.-11 a. M
General Louis Botha, who fifteen
years ago was the leader Of the Boer
war against Great Britain, has made
his name today as one of the saviours
OF the British empire. This triumph
OF the democratic principal Of govern
ment Is the most notable lesson OF the
conquest Of German Southwest Africa.
Germany's premier dependency about
which are centered the teutonic plans
for a great colonial empire. has sur
rendered to the Boer leaders who
were so largely encouraged by Ger
many during the South African war:
Ihe grant of complete local self-govs
ernment given South Africa by Eng
land has been completely vindicated.
The British democracy will see in
General Botha's success, full justifica-
ton of the governmental system for
which Englishmen are fighting.
The practical effect Of the Boer con-
quest will be to heighten the value Of
the imperial tie to Englishmen and
will lead to a larger voice in imperial
questions being given to the colonies.

What the War Moves Mean
By J. W. t. Mason, Former European Man
aeer of the United Press.

Africa Is not only the most important
victory the allies have won, but is
also very valuable hostage which
Germany will want to ransom in the
peace conference after the war. Here
is the basis of possible conflict Of
interests between England and the
Beers. The Boer South Africans hav-
ing won the German colony without
help from the motherland. are anxious
to keep it permanently. British South
Africa has long vaguely aspired to ex-
pand at Germany's expense and now
tha expansion is an accomplished
fact.
But II Germany cannot be forcibly
driven from Belgium and France, one
Of the conditions Of her voluntary re-
tirement will be the restoration of her
colonies and particularly Of Southwest
Africa. The Beers, therefore, may be
called upon to sacrifice the result of
their long toll for the good of the en-
pfre at large. sacrifice of this kind
will only be made II compensation is
granted in the form Of future colonial
participation in th., control Of imper-
ial affairs. General Botha, therefore,
may come to be known as the father
Of new British imperialism.
