Let us be just. No matter how crushing the defeat which the Brit- ish armies may inflict upon the Boer republics, nq matter how soon the strategy of Roberts and the execu- tive skill and. energy of Kitchener may achieve the results now confi- dently looked for, no man will come out of this war with a more splen- did, reputation than will General Cronje. It was he who stopped the victorious advance of Lord Me- thuen’s division at Modder river. It was chiefly owing to him that the British troops were repulsed in the bloody battle of Magersfontein. He it was who has kept a superior British force for weeks inactive be- hind its lines and prevented the re- lief ot Kimberly. When at last Lord Roberts, with ‘| thousands of fresh’ troops brought up to the-front, was able by skillful strategy to force the Boers either to evacuate their position or submit to being surrounded, ‘it was through that the Boer army was saved from annihilation or, capture, for it was he who-planned and successfully ex- ecuted the night retreat, which will go on record as one of the greatest achievements of the war. And now. overtaken, surrounded and’ hope- lessly outnumbered, the old lion of Aftica grimly stands at bay on his native veldt, and though fifty guns are volleying death into his camp, his reply to a summons to surrender death.

Rhodes, brother of Cecil Rhodes, describing in the Times the entry into Lady- smith of Lord Dundonald and 600 of the Imperial Light Horse and Natal carbineers on Feb. 28, says: “It is impossible to depict the i of the beleagued garri- son.

Cronje and his wife passed here last night en route to Cape Town, Elab- orate precautions had been taken to | prevent the people irom secing him. Even the officers were ordered off of the station and the refreshment room was kept cleared before his arrival, to the discomfort of the Kimberly passengers. Gen.
