Who Made the War?

(Napier Telegraph.)

Por more than one reason The Times does right to rebuke Count yon Bulow for tbo scarcely veiled insolence which presumes to regard the war in Africa as the work not o! the British nation, but of ooemsa. It is certain that the German Chancellor does not believe ia bis own insinuations. He knows well ©nongh that although a Bismarck, partly by means of forged telegram^ and partly by a general policy of^dup- Hcitfj may be able to involve Germany $a war .'• off his own ba%" any euch reralt is quite impossible while Britain continues to be governed by her Fir isment. It m*j be said in his favor, of coarse, that hia assumptions as to Mr Chamberlain are supported by the Ifeteraooes of British politicians who oppose the Government. But Count Bulow knows as well as anybody Can know the absolute worthlfesness Of much of what politicians say, in Germany aa well as in Britain, and errs against that knowledge when h© ftfects to bel'eve the pro Boers of Britain In order to score if possible against the*" British Secretary For the Colonies, To put the matter squarel?, Count yon Bulow knows that Mr Chamberlain tried to avoid the war. Bfo knows that he ie one of those responsible for the shameful scuttle of Majuba, and that nothing but having to choose between dishonour and loss of territory from Britain on one hand, and war on the other, led him to give Mi ascent in Cabinet to a war under taken not by him—an event utteily Impossible, by the way, under any cfr ©omatanoe—but by the Empire be* draw the Boers declared war against It.

Let tts ccc in the light of facts known to all the world for more than two yearn how the Boers commenced the •war. There wae, for whatever it was worth, the dispute between the Brit ish Government and the Transvaal, and tfeere was also the resolve of the Orange Free State to go to war against Britain if the Transvaal did 80.' That Was sn September, 1899. At that time Britain had about thirteen thousand troops in South Africa, »nd tho Boers had mad© such comprehensive pr©par»tkmß^for war they were able less than a fortnight later to put ninetj tboasnnd men underarms and to pup port them with s lavish backing of the most niodsrn •rtilllery, imported daring tot preceding foar ye«». Daring tbe last week in September of thtt yeir the Boers commenced brigandage by seizing gome fiftwn days before an admitted fitite of war exiuti'd, a consignment of gold valued »t cigbt hundred thousand* pound* on its way from the Johannes burg mines to England. The gold was geiVd Id transit and taken to Pretoria, At the same time large numbers of armed Boers were seat to tho frontiers, j and the expedition which finally resoh'rd itself into the invasion of.NnUl was commenced. All this wag before the Boer ultimatum was issued. Long prior to that, also, the Ihrettening aspect of the Boers tnd their movement? of aimed men httl led to the now historic appeal of thfl people «t Kimberley to Schroincr for riftee *nJ guns from Capetown, and to tho equally futile request of tho loyalist volunteer companies of Gape Colony to be nrrnfld with the improved rifles in gtore at Oapptown ; while at the same time there was the spectacle of the j same individual jnssin? ammunition j over the Cape lines for the Boom, and j allowing them to steal practically the j whole of the'railway trucks belonging j to the colony of which he was Premier, In face of all that, and especially the open acts of war or brigandage referred i to as occurring in September, the Transvaal Government informed Bri tain on the 9 h of ■ October that if she did raofe remove from Boath Africa the troops which hid arrived there since the previous Jane the failure to do bo would be regarded as a|-declaration of war. Britain was given till fi?e o'clock on the evening of the 11th of October to submit to these terras. Frior to the expiry of the time allotted —although of course that mode no difference to the resuU, for Britain in acy flase could not assent to be bullied j oat of Africa—-the Boers bad actually invaded British territory. In the face of this for any person to accuse Mr OhsmberSatn of having forced on the war stamps him as ignorant or male volent, We do not think many will conclude Count yon Bulow to be ignor ant;.

Equal to the Wmergency.

This Is a itryy of a man who has become a successful merchant. A few years ago he was employed as an office boy and messenger for a large firm. He was sent to collect an account from a firm which was considered very • shaky,' and was told to get the money at all hazards. The debtors gave the Isd a cheqae for £60$ He went to the bank at once to cash it, and was told that there were not enough funds In to meet ib. • flaw much short 1' asked the lad. * Thirty shillings,' was the answer. Ie lacked bub a minute or two of the tlm» foe the bank o close. The boy felt In his pockets, took oat thirty shilling*, and, poshing it 'h-ough the window, said, • Pat that to the credit of Blank & Co.' The cashiat did so, whereupon the boy presented the shrqae and got the money. Blank & Co failed the nexb day, and their chagrin can be batter imagined than described when they found out the trick that had been played upon them
