Strength of Both Sides on
As to the situation in South frIcaSI
the facts are that
The British government now has T
269000 soldiers in the Boer country t
These forces are widelydistributed 3
and concentration owing td the pos
sibilities o f outbreaks among the
blacks and revolts among the whites
largely impossible That thcjlowcr
if all English soldiery is at the front ed
ready to do or die is conceded on all
handsTo
To oppose this force the Boers ac
cording to official estimates of the
hostile London war office have 65000
men inclusive of losses through the
war The Boer army is recruited
wholly of men taken recently from the
peaceful walks of civil life and out
side the leaders scarcely a corporals
guard of the brave burghers can dis er
tinguish a mlllilary maneuver from a
toboggan slide The magnificent
showing the Boers have so far made is
due to the innate courage of the AfrI
canders together with the clllclency
of their commanders
Were the scenes of millitary opera
tlous transferred to the United States
the struggle could be typified by a
battle in tile Allaghany mountains
with a territory larger than that em
braced between the Allaghaules and
the Rockies to be covered by the com
batants Oil the whole the chances
of war are largely on the side of the
BrItishbut not nearly so much so ast
in the Revolutionary struggle when IJ
