General Hamilton on Authors

thk * sum ' Publisher ! General lan Hamilton was recently } smtertained at dinner at the Authors'! Olttb, Whitehall court. The Archdea-J con of London presided over a Urge gathering, and, in proposing the health of the guest, remarked that nobody had contributed to the success of our arms in t?outh Africa more than General -Can Hamilton ■ « A UKUGK OF A BUSINESS ' General lan Hamilton, who was warmly cheered, observed that be pre ferred the compliment he had received to any other ho coald possibly think of. One reason was that he tried in bia early days to be h bit of an author himself. He'knew well what tremen dous pluck and pewaverance were re quired to write anything worth print ing. After one had written the battle had only began, for to get it printed wan » deuce of a business. In those old boys lie walked with his manuscript to the post, and he felt an if he were dropping some piece of his own soal into the pillar box, amongst all those commonplace things-—love letters, ad vertisements, and so forth. He had skirmished with publishers and editors. Well, if the old Boer on the veldt was ft very aiim fellow, he thought the old publisher in his dea waa slimmer. Me had noticed throughout his career that authors and ioldiers pulled very well togafcher. The bust nests of the soldier wai to guard and enlarge the Empire. As that Empire waa enlarged, so oar beloved English language also spread, *ad the demand for invaluable literary works largely increased. What a pity that ail the Chinese did not talk English™and perhaps he might ex press the some view with regard to the Dutch; We certainly had taken two or three of their be&t word*—-to be slim, to trek, to commandeer—bat ; realty the language if it waa left to it- ■ ■elf coald not possibly have a look in ! in «fair straggle with English. The < Dutch young Indies, too, likd to read < Kagliah novels 1 HOW WH OUGHT TO HATE TREATED THE j BOKE PRISONERS. ] But ha did not know that we had j gon« the best way to make our victory in Scrath Africa complete. For in stance, w© had 17,000 Dutch prisoners in St Helena, Oeylon, and elsewhere , They ware confined in placed surround- t cd. by barbed wire, and in the Dutch l iangoage Ihej fought their battles over again, mug Psalms, and preached ssrBOQS. To inspire those fellows with Dutch and! anti-Englisb sentiment this was an excellent procedure, As ] long at we fed toem and looked after i them, In his opinion, we had a right to t dispose of them as we liked, and he r believed h would have been a good -j plan to have sent them to Canada to [ work on the Pacific Railway, When a the Boer got away from the negro he S web an energetic fellow enough, and '/ under the circamatancea he (General v Hanailtor) had described a good many of the Boera would not have wanted to go back to Sooth Africa, and those who did would have got in touch with as. If that hid been done, he thought this eooiatry would have had less trouble afterwards, 5
