the blind drum of our fire an im rolun 1 lawns for tha equire ue l the above extract from kipling chant pagan gtvea a very fair pic ture of the vast area that formed the theatre of the operation during the boer war and at the same time the disgust of the discharged soldier who had seen all this grandeur with the cramped and colourless civil life he was forced to live ou leaving the aer vice and returning home in many reapecu the boer war was unique and ona of these was the vast area which the operation covered and another the unusual political sit uation which made tha command and administration of tha unitary forces ona of extreme delicacy it waa a war of long inarches of six thousand raw miles on tha boor a war in which the greatest acourte was lnterie fever and where the death rata from this scourge and dyaentery far exceeded that from tha enemy weapons the arrow that flieth by day accounted for many csinaules but the pestilence that valketh to dark ness under the name of lnterie fever waa tha great fear that decimated the ranks of the regiments and filled the cemeteries that marked the march of the armies across tha veldt inade quately watered for so many men and horses there are tunes in africa when the dongas are filled with rag ing torrents but there are more times they had little to offer to an army on the march with the thermometer be tween ninety and a hundred degree it waa a war against one of tha clev erest guerilla warriors that ever moun ted a none an enemy that knew every landmark in the country and tha pos ition and use of every donga every kopje and every ant hill of which then wen many and on the other hand in which then wen few maps and none reliable in which a compass was as useless as a brass button owing to the iron stone in ine soil and in which direction had to be entrusted with local guides many of whom wen ntrustworuiy in the light of the tact that the line of trenches in franch hardly moved during four years it is interesting to note that the rate of movement in africa covered the whole orange free state in a few weeks and infantry columns wen known to march twenty six miles in ona day it waa a war of bivouac when tents wen unknown save in the convales cent camps and hospitals and on the unas of communication and that same line of communlcauona was the longest ever known in the history of war for it reached from cape town to tha portugese border a distance of about thirteen hundred miles as far as from toronto to winnipeg bridge culvert and mileof railway on that line had its garrison of troops a fact that explains the great numbers that wen required before the war could be ended it was a war in which tha helio graph and flag and night signalling lamp wen about the only means of intefmvwnmiiniffatlpni and to theei methods of visual signalling tha sun- shlney days and the clear bright nights and the unusual hill forma tions called kbpies lent themselves it waa a war of poor rations and never too much of that of biscuits and bully beef the same kind of bully beef tins with which the men in some of the trenches in france were wont to pave the floor tha horses suffered terribly and the olanaers and mange and teetse fly all contributed to make the life of those faithful creatures one of extreme misery 60 different waa it tti from the areat war in kurope that one is forced to the condusion that no two wan an alike and that the topo graphy and physical geography and the distance from tha use an the elements that determine the character of war and to which all such ele ments as weapons an quite subor dinate oas would have been out of the question in africa aa well as tanks and mechanical transport and would be in any war when the rate of movement is so fast and when the roads an not adapted for mechanical transport all the troops in christendom and it seems that most of the troops an in ohrlstendom could not have estab lished a defensive line that waa long enough and atrong enough to prevent the turning movements so impossible in the areat war in france when one flank rested securely against neutral country and the other against the north baa and it was this factor in france that turned the war into the war of position and stalemate and gave rise to so many weapons auch as gas which according to some an now standard equipment in war no mat- tar whan it may take place again i say that tha physical geography will always oetermlne tha character of war and also determine the character of the weapons and z make thla state ment not in any spirit of controversy but in a spirit of enligntenment it waa a war of ambuih of attacks on isolated peats of cutting unea of communication of capturing oonvoya of supplies it was a war whan the deadliest of weapons was used by tha boers and that weapon la burprtee it waa the greatest muster of the british unpin that had eve place in tact it was tha first time the iroopa of the empire had ever the port of misting bhlpe would have lied many interesting caller more over it was a war of bitter dlsappolnt- ttunu and many shattered military reputation quite as great a that of live german who spoke of the oreat war in anticipation as a hussar ride into paris and if von cluck failed in hi run to first base jn 1014 so did sir dedver buller in his race to the relief of the garrison at uutyunlth in 1800 though duller was not put out on first a waa von cluck war is full of sur prising disappointments and a glance tlirough the pagea of history dealing with the war or the past century will reveal many proofs that the- race 1 not to the swift nor the battle to the strong and that time and chance hap- peneth to them all africa has been called the graveyard or military reputation and brother boer has been the grave digger in most cases for like other colonials or pioneers he did not learn his military ion from the pages of books but in the hard school of experience in hi struggle with the aborigine such as the zulas and basutas and other war like kaffir tribes ills horse was part of him and a wonderful little traveller he was his ususer rifle a tool in constant use in peace as in war and his eye trained to see across wide spaces and hi aim cultivated in hi hunt for the flying spring bok and hi great whltkera affected by the elder boers aa fine a camouflage as the screen of boughs from biraum wood carried by the soldien of malcolm as they marched to try concltulons with the usurper uebeth his ancestry was either pioneer dutch or french huguenot and in either case he was a warrior with background of fighting tradition that made him a warrior worthy of any steel and a formidable and crafty foe his library waa hi blblethe old testament in particular and be lived in it away back in the camp of uoees and joshua and jephtha and the numerous deliveries in the book of judges were to him as prototypes and patterns for his own leader to emulate in their own war with am- alelc mean or rather the cssnanlte whom they could neither assimilate nor tolerate his bible waa to him his field ser vice regulations and i suspect his many night marches his hawklike swoops at the lines of communica tions ami his constant use of the weapon w surprise had their inspira tion in the operations of the old bib lical generals such as joshua old- eon barak and jonathan and ail the rest and in this connection it is in teresting to note that the road from jerusalem to jericho was cleared of turks by allenbysforccs who wen thanksoivinfo day and armis tice day will continue to be celebrated in canada aa two distinct feature of national life the on in acknowledge ment for the bounties of provldencet and the other in homage to ut mem ory of canada son and daughter who gave their lives i11 the oreat war this was affirmed last week when tha house of commons rejected a resolu tion by p w oershaw the purpose of which was to combine both thanks giving and armistice day into one holiday on november nth annually oershaw declared that hi resolution had the indorsement of the canadian legion many branches of which had approved the suggestion allenbys guided by a staff officer who adopted the stratagem of tha loyal and soldier ly jonathan aa recorded in the book of surnutli but the world do move and the march of civilisation led by cecil rhodes could not be stopped and the persecution of the outlsnders and the taxation without representation ap plied by the boers to the caananttes who outnumbered uiem and to those efforts and labours the wealth of the republics was due wen sufficient cause for the trouble which is known to history as the great boer war he had many sympathisers in eur ope whose attitude was not because they hated the boer less but because they hated britain more and this feeling found tangible expression in the many soldien of fortune who fared forth from many lands under the banner of liberty no called to help aa they put it the boer against the invader but he was ail wrong though it took the proverbial surgical operation to oonvtlice him anil in the end the brigades of mercenaries that served under the fiereolour as the flag was called went back home with a bad taste in their mouths and with a conviction that if a man or a nation takes can ol his own affairs tie will have nther a large contract to fulfill the war saw few nouses fiestroyed as the boers defended no villages as in prance and left these with the en emy who did everything for them but correspondence bv motob to georgia the following letter from wit pettlt now

several generals who show ed marked ability and of these botha and smuts an the best known 1 h their reputation rests as much heir statesmanship as on their generalship the picturesque leader was of course the elusive cliristlan dewet whose exploit against the lines of communication in the free state place him in the front rank of guer illa leaden we mignt have thought of him if in the great war he had not raised the standard of re bellion in south africa but even this subtraction is little more than a spot on the sun when one ponders the re spect he inspired during thoee years when every pass ana ford had it garrison of enemy troops and every trail was patrolled by mounted in fantry the iron had entered his soul and i suspect that his cup of sorrow and bitterness overflowed when he was run to earth by his sometime colleague and friend oen- eral louis botha all of which is very general and ab stract and i write it as an introduc tion to the story of the men from the helton
