The slanders on the Army.

BOKR GENERAL'S DEFENCE OF THB BRITISH

A recent issue of the Cape Timti contains the following report of • ' speech delivered by ex-General Piet Da Wet, brother of the more famous Boer leader, Christian De Wet, at a large and enthusiastic meeting held at Kroon* stad on February 25 to protect againit the foreign slanders on British troop*. Speaking in his Dative tongue, General P De Wet said:—ln my opinion (best slanders proceed from the same claw of people who have done so much to produce the present unfortunate war. They originate nob from the Afrikander people, bat from unscrupulous agitator* who have for years past been sowing dissension and hatred between the two nationalities. It ia impossible for people living in this country to be deceived by such palpable falsehoods. Only people living thousands of milei away can be found to put faith in them* For myself I have invariably found the English 'Tommy* friendly, gene rous, aud kiod hearted. I might refer to my own experience when at the outbreak of the car I wm ia command of a large body of Fiee Staters. Before we could join with the burghers from the Transvaal two severe battles had been fought at Dundee and Elandslaagte. Directly I came into touch with the Tranavaalem who bad taken part in the fight, and had learned that & large cumber of th ir men, including General Koch and other notable leaders, bad been wounded and taken prisoners, my firit question was as to how the wounded" prisoners had been treated by the English. I was gladdened to hear that they had been most kindly dealt with, : and that after General Koch had suc cumbed to his injuries, his body wag respectfully handed over to friends for burial at their hands. Farther, 1 bad o'osasion to march through the country around Oewetsdorp shortly after a Urge English force had passed through. I inquired most carefully at each farm and stopping place as to the behaviour of the troops, audwas in every instance assured that the soldiers had stolon nothing andjiad treated a!l the people : with kindness and respsct, I even found that the families of burghen still fighting with the Boers had re ceived exactly the same treatment m as f he families of those who had surren* dertd. Ho distinction had been made. • Agaiu, on one occasion 1 was permitted to meet with the wife of my brother, General Christian De Wet, who is still fighting in the field. I must acknow* ledge that Mrs De Wet was at that rime very bitter ftgaiiist 'he English ; but .when i seked ht=r how «he wa« treated and whether I could procure her &t>y necessaries, her reply was that ,she hdd been most kindly treated by tbe troops, and tbat she lacked nothing. Biuce uiy own surrender I have ex perieoced nothing but kindn«si and courtesy from the military atithotitieia Wot the last twelve months I have live! ia Kroon&tad, and sometimes I almost forget that war is eti'l ia th« hnJ. In conclusion, General Piet D« Wet instanced tho pencoable and quiet state of the towu in which they were living, although thousands of soldieri wore frequently piseing through, m showing the (horrugb discipline and good condnct of Tommy Atkios.

Burdens are Many, 1 ■ *"' / ASB BURTON CITIZENS HAVE THEIR SHARE. Burdens vf life are many. Some people have thoir share. Pretty hard to beat the hardens of a bad back. Its acken and pains make you miserable. Learn the o»«8S and remove the harden, Most backache pains come from the kidneys Must euro the kidneys to oare the back, Doan's Backache Kidney Pills will do it. Lots in Ashburton prove that this is so. Read what a citizen says :— Mrß H D*l!ey, Wills and Cambridge Streets,. Hampstead, this o'ty, says:— •Far a number of years I hare had a sore trhl in sickness. The doctor said it was caused by Internal female allmenti. I have since found out that this was a mis take. The trouble which need me worst of all was pain in the femall of my back. When I stooped down I conld not get up again, Then my left aide was apparently paralysed and my left eye was affected. This almost crippled me alone. I also had giddiness and backaches, the giddlneM being £0 great that I would be ashamed in the streets as I would stagger, feeling overwhelmed with it. The Beeretioat were as thick as could b<j. Sometimes I would ba laid up for a week or two with these troubles. Flo tongue csn tell you all the mi dioines I swallowed, but nob one of them gave me relief till I got Doans Backache Kidney Pills at tl« Aahburtqa Drug Go's store. I was very bad when I started to take this remedy, but after I had taken it a while I was ever co much better. Th« pain In my back was gone, giddiness and headaches did not trouble me and my secretions were clear and I felt better altogether. I can not say enough about Doan's Backache Kidney Pills.' _. ■ ... Take no substitutes. There Is nothing <just as good as Doan's Backache Kidney Fills. They are sold by all chemists and atorekoapprs at 3d per box (six boxes 16a 6d), or will- be posted on receipt of price by the proprietors, Foster, .McLallan 00,, 76 Pitt Street, Sydney, N.S.W.
