THE BOER A WARY FIGHTER
Three centuries of contact with
savage foes nnd man killing animals
Lave bred in the Boer nature a weari
ness which Is being used to advantage
m the war with England, says the
Spokesman-Review. Our continental
soldiers possessed the same cautious
characteristic in the struggle for
American independence.
Enough has been observed of the
Boer Ggbtrng to reveal his tactic.
He permits the British to do all the
attacking. Having discovered the
Tonte of the advancing British forces,
the Boers seize stroug positions in
tbe path of the advancing armies,
construct defenses, place thoir ar
tillery to the best advantage, and
patiently await the attacking army.
A few hours of hard fighting enable
them to determine whether it is best
to hold the first position or retire
under cover of darkness to nnothur
point of strong vantage. Thus the
force arrayed against Lord Methuen
baa fonght three engagements, nnd
now holds its fourth position near
Spytontein. It fought ani fell back
from Belmont, from Gras Pans and
from Modder river.
Two hundred miles away to the
southeast, as the eagle Hies, in Cape
Colony, near the southern border of
the Orange Free State, the Boers
have repulsed the British advance
under General Gatacre. Thy found
here that they could hold their first
position, held it, nnd sent the British
column reeling back in disaster.
Thus far it must be conceded thai
the Boers have proved the shrewder
fighter. They have not underrated
their enemy, something which can
not be said for the English forces.
They move with greater celerity,
have closer knowledge of the coun
try, and have not allowed themselves
to be cucbercd out of any of their
nnlural advantages.
These early British reverses, how
ever, were foreseen in Europe and
this country. When war was de
clared', it was freely predicted in the
American papers that for a few weeks,
and possibly a few months, the Boers
would have the best of the fighting.
But the tide will turn. The English
officers will learn prudence in the
dear school of cxpprience. The
British government will hurry for
waid the needed reinforcement. Its
amies are terribly deficient now in
cavalry, but 4his deficiency will be
overcome. It will achieve the relief
of Kimbeilcy and Lidyamilh, nnd
can then turn its attention to Pre
toria and Blocmfor.tein.
