upon " england and the boer " the boers were originally dutchmen who had settled in cape colony and natal and who were under the direct rule of holland until a treaty was made with great britian ceding these colonies to her the rule of the english did not suit the boers and so they went to the transvaal and set up a government for themselves which afterwards was recognized by the english government a lew years later britian pro claimed suzerainty over all the territory north of her possesions in south africa including orange free state and the transvaal but as a result of the treaty of 1881 she relinquished all claims ex cept i hat of governing the trans vaal in making treaty's again in 1884 another treaty was made between the two countries in which the word suzerainty was not mentioned this was the last treaty the present trouble arises out ol the very severe naturaliza tion laws of the boers which compells a man to be a resident of ihe country fourteen years before he can have the least voice in the government but during which time he is taxed at a rate identical with all citizens '' england has no reason accord ing to the unwritten code of inter national law for undertaking the present war and only has for an excuse her dislike of another country's naturalization method she has a very difficult task before her and in proof of her fear ( f the result is the size of the army she is mobolizing which is the largest she has ever assembled continued on fourth page the team which will meet lafayette on the gridiron at easton tomorrow afternoon will be chosen
