FOE TO FRIEND IS
BOERRECORDWITH
FIGHTING ARMIES

With South African Contingent of
British armies in France, Jan. q
South African troops-men from the
mines and farms of the gold country
are now serving their first winter
in the field in France and are dis
tinguishAng themselves with, many
deeds of daring and, valor. S6me of
them fought against Britain in the
Boer War and among them there are
several Americans who had made their
homes in the African mining fields.
One of the most thrilling exploits of
the South Africans was the recent act
of a young subaltern. During a night
operation he became separated from
his company and found himself in
side the German lines. After a time
he picked up six more men of his
company who had become similarly
detached. When dawn came the little
group found itself practically sur
rounded by Germans. The young
subaltern found that his rifle and
those of his comrades had become so
cIogged with mud that they wouldn't
work, but he drew his revolver and
as the first German approached he
shot him dead A German sergeant
who started forward was also killed,
and as daylight came two of the sub
alterns companions got their rifles
working and succeeded in killing
twelve members of the surrounding
party and capturing twenty-five.
Forming their German prisoners into
a ring, the South Africans got inside
of the circle and deliberately march
ed their prisoners over the German
first lines and all got home safely
amid great jubilation among their
comrades.

PREDICT EXTINCTION
OF PRIVATE DOCTORS
If THE WAR CONTINUES

London, Jan. 2.-That private prac-
titioners in the medical profession
will be practically nonresident be-
fore the end of the war and all pa
tients will have to go to infirmaries
to be treated was the opinion express
ed at the annual meeting of the Glas-
cow Victoria Infirmary.f
The Lancet says: ''There must come
day, if the war is indefinitely pro-
longed, when the necessary economy
of medical men can only be obtained
by mobilization of the whole of the
available supply, SO that calls can be
made up individual services when
and where required. 1t has long been
felt that some such step might be
taken and we believe that the gener-
al opinion Of the> medical profession,
judging by the correspondence that
comes to US, Is in similar direction"

SUNK 1890 STEAMERS
SINCE WARFARE BEGAN

Toxic, Jan. "A total Of 1890
merchant vessels with an aggregate
tonnage Of 100000 have been sunk
since the outbreak of the war, ae-
cording to Baron Kenjiro Den, minis
ter of communications who spoke be-
fore the Japan Trade Association on
the subject Of war and shipping.
Despite the heavy losses suffered
by some Of the Entente countries, .
he said, "Japan's loss has been COM
paratively slight. So far only six
Japanese steamers, with. an aggregate
tonnage of $4,000, have been sunk by
the enemy while three more Of IL, 900
tons are missing, making a total Of
nine ships and $4,000 tons. Since the
outbreak of the war Japan's mari
time trade to foreign countries has
greatly developed, and the tonnage
of tramp steamers now trading to
America. Australia, India, etc., is put
at 100000. This shows a five-fold
increase since the outbreak of the
war;

Panama, Jan. 1.-Two new lines
started the use of the Panama Canal

the line operated by Shaw, Savill, and
Albion, Ltd, of London, bound for
London from Australia is the first of
the fleet, all of which will make their
homeward voyages by way of t he

use the Canal on their outward voy-
ages. instead of going by way of the

was the "Roepat," first of the fleet
of the newly established New York

Raise Ship Sunk off
Coast of Guatemala

Guatemala City, Guatemala. Jan. 1.
The steamer Sesostris of the Kos
mos Steamship Company of Ham
burg, which sank off this coast seven
years ago, has been raised by the
Skinner Syndicate Of Seattle, Wash,
and, after the vessel has been repair
ed in the drydock at Panama, the
derelict will be registered as an Am
erican vessel in the coastwise trade.
She will be renamed Estrada Cabrera,
in honor of the President Of Guate-
mala. She has a net tonnage Of s.

Company made attempts to raise the
vessel many years ago, but the work
was abandoned as hopeless and the
Skinner Syndicate was formed for the
purpose, engaging the British Colon
bia Wrecking Company for the work.
It is estimated that after repairs have
been made the recovered steamer will
be worth nearly ambition dollars
