the war which, then, he might have to
repeat to the same auditors at the
Auditorium Friday evening. Colonel
Leader found It possible to fill his 80
mlnute addresa with war time remi
niscences and anecdotes that had rare
charm, humor, and, in at least one
Instance, sadness.
Story of Boer War Beeoaated
"In the Boer war," he said, "my
brother was in the column next to
me. We came out on a valley, a
charming place of homes and trees
and meadows, and I got to wondering
if I was really going to make war on
those people toward whom I wished
everything well, and who probably had
the same feeling toward me, or
whether this was just an extraordinary
dream. But soon the firing began
and I realized it was war. My
brother told me when he went into
the fight . he and another encountered
a little group of Boers. They got his
friend but his shot accounted for one
and ha got his bayonet ' into the
stomach of another. Then be was
wounded and fell. . '
"When ha came around he saw that
the mortally wounded Boer was. near
him altting up .but failing faat. Can
I do anything for you? my brother
asked. 'Nothing.' answered tha Boer.
Then, Tea, you can, if you will. Write
a letter home to my wife.' And my
brother wrote that letter home to the
wife of the man he had killed. It
was the most horrible experience J"The
Boer said, 'Here in my pocket are
lockets with the hair and pictures of
my wife and baby. Send those back
to them with my love.' My brother
said, 'Wouldn't you like to see the
pictures r and the dying Boer an
swered, 'No, I couldn't quite stand
that.' And he died.
"My brother and I agreed that thajt
Is what makes war hell."
Negro's Uniform Salated 1
Colonel Leader told another story
from the present war. Two privates
refused to salute a black quarter
master's sergeant because of his color.
The - colored man submitted without
comment twice. But when the privates
came down the road again, they found
the black man had removed his uni
form coat and hung It on the branch
of a tree. He was waiting across
the road. "Now," said he, "you don't
have to salute my black face. I
don't care about that. But there la
Uncle Sam's coat and you'll either
salute it or I'll knock your damned
heads off." The privates, said Colonel
Leader, saluted.
Colonel Leader is to speak under the
auspices of the Association of Collegi
ate Alumnae Friday evening.
