397 30 American writers, in commenting upon 514.76 the capture of De Wet, agree that the Boer general deserves death for gank treason, but they argue that the British can afford to be magnanimous under the circumstances, and that to condemn him to die as a traifor would be an act of political folly. His execution,” says the New York World, "would be sure to create · more: hostility among the Boers 763,385.11 than he was able to arouse by summoning

them to rebellion, under his leadership. 8704,091.19 Those Americans who know De Wet always declare he has for years been mentally unsound, for which reason he was easily gulled by Germans, who persuaded him to take up arms in the hope of realis ing the dream of a Dutch South Africa. The comment frequently heard here is, “What fate would havo attended the veteran general if he had rebelled against Gorman authority, and, being captured,- was tried by a German couri ?" Ameri- cans are well aware of the circumstances: under which enemies in German South- West Africa induced the poor old general, whose faculties have long een decaying, to espouro a forlorn cause, and in his caso to remit the death penalty would not be regarded as an act of pusillanimity.
