Though Commander Kritzingey's shoot- ing of General French's native scouts arouses a furlous protest here, the avowal that England has enlisted savages to aid in exterminating the Boers has given the nation a pause. This is not only a viola- tion of the war, but it is contrary to all clvilized usages. Still the natives have rendered service after thelr kind to the British forces on the Swasiland border. They were employed both In the rellef of Mafeking from the | north and by General Baden-Powell in de- fense of that place. None know better than the British in South Africa that when you put arms into the hands of the natives and send them to fight it means that every rule of civilized warfare will be abandoned, that no quar- ter will be given, that the wounded will be murdered and that other nameless hor- rors will be perpetrated For This French Was Shifted. General French himself sent Zulus to harass the Boers in northeastern Trans- vaal by ralding their cattle. He was shifted from that command in consequence of it, owing to the protest from the Natal government Both sides have used natives with their transport trains, but General French has been the first to acknowledge that he em- ployed them as scouts. The Boers think they have enough to face England's 250,000 men without being placed at the mercy of | hordes of black barbarians. Another British Blander. The British policy of replacing regulars by yeomen proved disastrous.

While the workers are themselves ignorant of the general plan of the organi- zitiony regarding the extension of the strike throughout the mills of the trust, they are confident that the general strike order will be issued in a short time. That the officials of the United States Steel corporation have been preparing for | thie battle was made apparent during this | afternoon. It was learned, on the best au- | thorit, that an attempt is to be made at once to “reak the strike by the import tion of nonunion men into all the idle| mills.

They declare, | however, that they will make the attempt and with just as much haste as possible No plans are known concerning the Ameri- can Tinplate company. If that company | intends to utilize nonunion men it is not known where they will get them. It is said that fancy prices are being offered to | a few really skilled laborers to take a hand with the trust in getting the plants in oper- ation.
