BUSSIA IILL STOP
THE CRUEL WAR.
She is After Trade and tier Policy
-w. Demands Immediate Peace in
the Transvaal.
By P.
Louter Wessels, Special Agent
South African Republic.
There are two reasons why England
-will never conquer us. One is that ten
Tommy Atkinses are no more than a
match for one Boer. The skirmishes of
the war prove this. As we can mobi
lize 150,000 men easily, it means Eng
land would have to send 1,500,000 sol
diers to be on even terms with us in
point of men.
Besides we would have the advantage
in being on the defensive in our own
well-known country, almost impreg
nably fortified by nature to say nothing
of the many pitfalls we ourselves have
digged.
Secondly, the war will be ended in six
months. This may sound strange, con
sidering the present British advances
and the reports sent out by England
from South Africa. But it is true.
And the war will be. ended by the
withdrawal of British troops from the
republics. The Boers will have the
same liberty they enjoyed before war
was declared. Otherwise we would
fight until there were no Boers to be
deprived of their liberty. "We Boers
will never be slaves.
I do not mean to say that the Boers
themselves will end the war by supe
rior force of arms. While we cannot
be conquered, neither may we hope to
defeat the hundreds of thousands of
men Epgland can pour into South
Africa. '
Alt) FROM RUSSIA.
It is intervention to which we look
for succor. We had hoped America
might say "No!" to England, but your
President's efforts have been fruitless.
Russia is the nation to which we now
turn. And we feel assured it is not in
vain. From advices from my own gov
ernment, I can state that inside of six
months it is confidently expected by
President Kruger and President Steyn
that Russia will declare war on Eng
land unless the war in South Africa is
stopped. England will refuse and an
Anglo-Russian war will follow, in
which Continental Europe and probably
the United States may be drawn. This,
to me, is as certain, as that the sun
will rise to-morrow.
It is the intention of the republican
forces not to force a big decisive battle
if it may be prevented, but they hope
to harass and impede Gen. Lord Rob
ers' advance on Pretoria, so that he
will be still many miles away when
Russia's intervention does come.
The first big battle of the war, if it
cannot be avoided under President
Kruger's policy, I' am informed will be
near Wynburg. The exact place is un
determined, of course, owing to Lord
Roberts' route northward being un
known to US. And, of courseI would
not tell the exact place, as it would
"Eonvey most, valuable information to
the English generals.
I will say, however, that, despite the
English reports of Boer retreat. Lord
Roberts will find a most considerable
body of men opposed to him not far
from Wynburg.
t FREE STATE UNDIVIDED.
The fall of Bloemfontein has not
much of significance, and that Frazer
and a few officials delivered the keys of
the town over does not indicate ' that
our Free State Boers were divided.
Frazer was an English candidate in
the Raad. He represents the town of
Bloemfontein, where there was quite
a njunber of English people, and it was
this class who welcomed Roberts'
troops.
Our losses to date are not over 6,000,
killed, wounded and prisoners, includ
ing Gen. Cronje's surrendered command
of 4,520 men. The English losses in
killed, wounded and prisoners is over
29,000 men. This is true, notwithstand
ing 'the English reports. I know it.
The English generals pervert the
truth, enlarge English successes and
expand Boer reverses for political ends.
We have English telegraph Operators
r the f!arw in our rav and know the
real situation.
We are constantly getting more am
munition in substantial lots. We have
just placed an order for 150,000 pounds
of ammunition. This will need a ship,
and we may not receive it. But we
have enough anyway.
RUSSIA AFTER TRADE, TOO.
Russia wants the South African trade
as much as England. She has a policy
of commercial expansion as well as
England. The barren Arctic regions are
net to be her boundaries forever. Mart
my words, and they are not idle, Rus
sia will say "No" emphatically.
There was a tendency throughout
South Africa among the Dutch to try
and smooth down difference between
the English and Dutch in order to unite
and bring about an arrangement
whereby they could become one South
African nation, although the English
followed a depressing policy from the
beginning. Instead of trying to unite
the two races she executed a partial
policy, and the Dutch had for a long
time no representative on the jury now
in parliament in the Cape Colony.
"If the minerals had not been discov
ered England would never have deemed
the country worth while having and
, would have been glad If the Boers were
annihilated by the powerful barbarian
tfibes.
The capitalists, of whom Mr. Rhodes
was the leader, backed by the present
foreign colonial policy of England, con
spired against the republic and organized-

Jameson raid under a pretense that the

OF -INTEREST TO WOMEN.
T'-is is the time of year when women
-k-iuM look their best. "Warmth is so
mu( h more comfortable than cold, except
:.i tile very stout, and, moreover, one can
wcr.r nil sorts of light, pretty materials,
n i ; el delicate colors. Pointed bodices,
luittuiiinji or laciuj; behind, are returning
l favor, and in these new bodices the
points are longer than in the old. This
style is particularly suited to those who
are short waisted and large hipped.
Those who lore a touch of scarlet will be
glad to hear that just now all shades of
red are more fashionable than ever.
Though this is to be pre-eminently a
muslin season, our old and tried friend
zephyr is much valued. It washes so
well, and looks no fresh, that a girl can
pot go far wrong in investing.

THE NEW LAPEL DRAPERY.
It is the, Distinguishing Feature of ths
.Latest Bodices and is a v Very Dainty
- :?, Decoration.
The most distinctive feature of the
latest bodice is a lapel trimming that can
be recommended for its inexpensiveness
as well as its artistic effect. The lapels
are formed after the customary mode of
turning the bodice back from the
shoulders, but are cut very full at the
bustline so that they fall over the yoke

BODICE WITH D tAPED LAPELS
Separate, waists developed in materials
of the pastel tints are particularly appro
priate for summer. A pretty design in
mastic silk is made with groups of ver
tical pipings. The plastron is of mastic
taffeta overlaid with jade colored net
embroidered with emerald tinted pail
ettes. " -
The lapels are formed in the mastic
silk and are cailght at each side of the
bustline with two buttons of Russian
gold.
The sleeves are carried out with
groups of vertical pipings to match the
trimming of the waist and are impress
ively finished at the wrists with a flaring
bias band of plain jade colored taffeta.
The bodice is worn with a skirt of tan
ladies' cloth built upon a green taffeta
lining, and the waist is confined with an
enamelled belt of emerald color finished
with a small and. oddly shaped buckle of
Russian gold. Helen Grey-Page.
