REASONS FOR HASTE.

Why Great Britain Is Sending Such a
Lurge Force to South Africa,

There is no doubt that not Buller
only out the British war office will
leave nothing undone that can be
done to bring the war to a speedy
end, says the Hamilton Herald.
That is why such an enormous force
has been dispatched to South Africa
—a force far greater than any that
was ever before moved a similar
distance. Probably half the num-
ber of men would have served to
bring the Boers to terms; but it
would have taken a long time to do
it. To crush the power of the two
republics speedily as well as effec-
tively will cost less in blood’ and
money than to allow the fighting to
go on for many mosths.

Apart from the general - wisdom
of the policy of doing the job quick-
ly, there are two special reasons
why the the war should be speedily
brought to a close. One is,the dis-
affection of the Cape Dutch. The
longer hostilities are drawn out, the
more likely are the burghers of Cape
Colony and Natal to join the stand-
ard of the Boers. These men are
far move prosperous and happy un-
der British rule than are the Trans-
vaal Boers; but the race feeling is
strong in them, and the danger is
ever present that their racial sym-
pathies will prove stronger than
their intelligence and self-interest.
Already many of them have cast in
their lot with the Boers since the
war broke out, but so far the mass
of them have remained passively
loyal to Britain. Should a general
rising of the colonial Dutch occur,

the difficulties of the situation would |

be enormously increased, and Brit-
ish power in South Africa would be
in grave peril, The best way to
avert this danger is to crush the.
enemy in time to show the colonial
Dutch that further resistance would
be madness.

The other reason is that when the
rainy season ends,the British troops
will have to face danger more dead-
ly than Boer bullets. The veldt
will then be saturated with miasma,
and deadly insects, swarming into
life under the tropical ‘sun, will
threaten the lives of men and horses.
For large forces to encamp on the
open veldt under such conditions
would mean death to a large pro-
portion of the men and most of the
horses. 3

It is therefore easy to understand
why the British war office has seen
fit to wage war on such a large scale
and leave nothing undone to end

. hostilities.

Vancouver News Advertiser
President Paul Kruger, of the
Transvaal Republic, has a nephew
in British Columbia, besides the
young man that got into trouble
with the San Francisco police a
few weeks ago. Young Kruger is
a mining man of Kootenay, and
has been in business in the interior
for over two years. He has views
very different from what would
naturally be ascribed to him. A
friend of his, a mining man, is in
Vancouver, and he says that
young Kruger thinks that the war
will have about the best results
that conld possibly have happened
tothe Boers. The fight, he has
regarded as inevitable for a long
time, and he thinks it will cure his
countrymen of their obstinacy in

‘ings SO the adop
of European principles of life and
