According to all reports published in Europe the Filipinos are more willing than over le fight for their freedom. The correspondent of the Flölnische Zeitung declares that the Ame- rican troops are never safe from attack, although the Filipina forces are not yet in such a condi- tion that it would be wise for them to risk a

ap pointed by the Americans must be protected with American bayoncis. Qae British colo- niai paper of undoubted loyalty to the English-speaking race, The Friend of India, Calcutta, expresses the opinion that the world does not benefit by being subjected to the rule of these nations. It says:

Important light is thrown upon the Transvaal. situation by a frank statement by Sir Walter Pierce, Agent General for Natal in Landon, who fought against the Boets in former years. He said about the close of September) The attitude of the Orange Free State means its Inevitable acquisition by Great Britain. Pence in South Africa can only be accomplished by wat. In my opinion a war would not last fication effective Great Britain must assume absoluto control over the whole of South Africa. So far as the position of Nant is concerned, all this talk shout poor, undefended Natal is non- sense, There be little or no fighting in Natal, if it comes to a war, and I fear that no other issue is now possible. What do you think 1000 British troops would be doing while this much-talked of Boer raid was in pro-pitched battle. In Cebu and Negros the inde- gress? Our milways are in good working order, and our troops can be transported quickly. The bad weather conditions have been magnified A campaign could be carried on now. Just as well as in any other season. "Two months from the day Sir Redvers Buller lands the fight ing will be over, if the Free State had been loyal, fighting would not have lasted fourteen days. It is the likeliest thing in the world, however, that the Free State will be foolish -enough to taken hostile attitude and that means

Great Britain has the power to work out ultimate peace It remains to be seen whether she has the spirit. Upon the conclusion of war, which must be unflinching in order to be effective, British control must be absolute over all South Africa, in Cape Colony, Natal, and other sec tions. Half measures would only prolong unrest and produce more disturbances. have known the Boers as well as any man. I have lived among them and have fought them. To exist peacefully so close to them is an utter impossibility. Negotiations are well enough in their way, but British con- trol of the Transvaal must come eventually. For years the Boers have been crying. Throw the Uitlander into the sea, and Out with him.' Possibly they are not so virile as during the last war, but there is lule difference. My idea is that if the Beers were caught in the open once or twice the thing would be ended. They never have stood in the open and if war comes now they will have to do more than stay in the hills. This is not optimistic twaddle, but an opinion based upon my experience in campaigns ngainst the Boers

I have not the slightest fears for the safety of my colony or its towns, It is possible that a few Boer incursions might get a few miles into Natal, but no further, and it must be remembered that many of those. living on the edge of the Natal border are themselves Bocre."

[Events have since proved Sir Walter's faith in the safety of Natal to be anything but well founded.-Ed, H.K;T]

THE REAL BOERS AT HOME.

It is a mistake to take Paul Krüger and his surrounding politicians as types of the Boer,

Also it is a mistake to take the dweller in the towns as typical. To unearth. the real Boer one must seek the wide and solitary veldt, the hidden valleys, the distant hills, and there, on his farm, draw him out and study him. Your true Boer despises the town. He is es sentially an agriculturist, and a hunter. Up to 1862 be never saw a railroad in his country, and he was bitterly opposed to its coming. He argues that the railroad will drive game, and, without anything to shoot at, life will not be worth living. He is extremely con- servative, and with strangers brusque and taciturn, but if he finde you are harmless The can be very hospitable. He does not drink deep. He is religious, with a gloomy, stern religion. Like all people whose belief in the

is of a somewhat uncompromising kind, ho is more or less superstitious. He is moral He does not believe in divorce laws. He marries early in life, and is convinced the highest blessing is an abundance of children.

"Englishmen and Americans are probably, in the main, neither better nor worse than Frenchmen or Germans, but they have a greater desire to appear better, and therefore they defend their conduct with arguments which in the eyes of foreigners seen pote hypocrisy. As Englishmen who know what empire means, we carnestly hope that the American people will abandon the attempt to reduce the Filipinos to direct submission 8 American rule. It is a short-sighted view which fosters the belief that all the world would be better for the adoption of the particular form Anglo-Saxon ace. In many obvious respects of civilization which commends itself to the that civilization is must unlovely"

The same writer describes the life of the nasses here and in Great Britain, and adds:

"To reduce the whole of the world to their domination would be to strike a blow at real

progress from which bumanity would never recover. It is in the variety of types that the possibility of progress lies, and those of us who realize that, in spite of protests and in spite of opposition, the Angio-Saxon race will continue to enlarge its duininion, are only anxious that this dominion, which the pride of race compels, shall be reduced, wherever possible, to the inerest shadow of sovereignty. The true burden of the world. And that burden is one that can of the Anglo-Saxon race is to keep the peace be lightly borne, if only we determine to reject all idea of imposing upon other peoples our customs, our creeds, our ideals."

The presence of a considerable number of people in the United States who oppose the at tempt to subjugate the Philippines is duly noticed abroad. An article in the New York Nation has been translated into several lan- the article closes, has been much quoted: guages, and the following sentence, with which Even if the last town of the Filipinos has been given to the fames and the last native been shot in his mountain fastness or swamp, it is we, not the Filipinos, who will be the lesers." only one tribe, the Tagals, opposes the Ameri.

At the first hint of gray in the eastern sky, at the first crow of the cock, the farm household is up and stirring, and breakfast, with the usual strong coffee the Boer loves, is over by the time the sun rises. The men are out and about at once, looking after just the same chores as on an American farm in the west, save those who are off to replenish the larder by shooting a springbok, a hartbeest or some such species of deer. The women have plenty of work about the house. The genuine old Boor form, fumishes itself very neces sary to its occupants. The furniture is often made by the farmer, or he has great, unwieldy, carved chests and bureaus which have come to him from his ancestors, He can make his own shoes. His women dress and weave his own sheep's wool, and make their and his clothes from it. All he really has to buy is farming implements, and of these he prefers the primitive sart, though enterprising agents have introduced such things as mowing and other machinery,

Dr. Barth, the editor of the Berlin Nation, believes that ignorance is largely responsible for jingoism. He says:

"Narrow views with regard to nationality, caused by the ignorance of the people and fostered by the sensational pruss, is at the bottom of it all... Our political life would be much improved were it not that the sorriest phrase maker can always obtain influence by appealing to national prejudice. That morality should cause us to be just to other nationalities is hardly admitted in theory. In practise, the barbarous rule is followed that injustice to an- other people is a virtue.”

At any rate, they declare, the Americans were ready and waiting for it, their officers and men were at their posts within a few minutes, while the Filipinos were taken by surprise and many of their officers and men were taken prisoners on that account.
