ilans of Sir Kcdevi r Buller, coininander in chief of the
British force, now on bi way N'tilh Africa, are to have
ftitir divisions, each a litlle aiiny in itself, and each capable
of meeting the full strength of the Boers. As his forces will
exceed XI 1,000 men, this is regarded n feasible. With the

BERLIN", Oct. 21. The German press is just as unani
mously anti-British in the Transvaal war as it was anti
American in the war bttweeu the United States and Spain.
Even liberal papers, although politically and commercially
they have long sought and found an ideal in England, now
strongly disapprove of England's proceedure in varied but
never complimentary utterances. Speakers in British parlia
ment are characterized as "hypocritical," and the British peo
ple and government are described as "devoured by land
hunger," and "for greed for Transvaal gold."
