He will fight when he Is under cover, but In the open, mm to man, he Is po match for either the Briton or any other white antagonist. "The Boers do not as a class possess any education and do not wish to pos sess any. The moment a Boer becomes chugged from the simple farmer to the city resident and his financial con dition Is enhanced thereby he becomes a subject of Great Britain and re nounces the Toer traditions.
