The officers of the V tilted States army
In the Department of the Missouri, and
probably in the other department, are
bout a busy now they were when they
were leading their men through the swampa
and over the mountalna In pursuit of un
reconciled Filipinos, and the work la of
uch a nature as to make It almost Impos
sible for an officer to attend to all of his
duties. In the first place there are fewer
officers In the, United States army than In
any establishment of like numbers In the
world. With the number which are neces
sarily on sick leave, there are times when
there la but one officer to a company, and
at the posts It frequently happens that one
man will fill positions designed to be filled
by three or more men, and one officer will
be quartermaster, commissary officer, sig
nal officer and engineer officer, while on
top of It all he may have to take command
of the post or of some regiment or company
stationed therein In the absence of superior
officers. Even at the headquarters of the
departments It Is difficult to secure officers
to fill staff positions, and at Omaha one of
the personal aides of General Bates Is act
ing as Inspector general of the department,
while another Is serving as Judge advocate.
Order for Instruction.
With thlscarclty of men came an order
from the War department laat September,
known as Oeneral Order No. 102, which was
Issued for the purpose of carrying, out the
provisions of General Order No. 155, Issued
last year, which order, had for Its purpose
the establishing of schools for officers In
the posts of the army In the United State.
By the terms of the general order of cur
rent series the commanders of posts, subject
to the supervision of department command
ers, are In Immediate charge of Instructions
and are required to keep detailed records
of the operation of the schools.
It Is provided that field officers and cap
tains of over tea years' service as com
missioned officers shall be utlllied as in
structors, but where a sufficient number of
them cannot be obtained the post com
mander shall designate some other officer
to act as Instructor. With this exception
and some to be noted later all of the
officers of the posts are to receive Instruc
tions and to make dally recitations to the
Instructors from November 1 to April 30.
The course of study includes administra
tion, theoretical and practical, drill regu
, latlons, theoretical and practical manual
of guard duty, small arms firing regu
lations, troops on campaign, minor tactlca,
military law, field engineering, military
topography and sketching. International
law, hlppology and Coast defense. Gradu
ates of the military academy at West Point,
the Infantry and Cavalry school at Fort
Leavenworth, the Artillery school at Fort
Monroe and the Engineering School of
Application at Washington barracks are
excused from Instruction in military law,
international law and field engineering, but
with these excepted studies they must
follow the course as. do the others and It Is
especially uoted that all officers must take
Instruction in hlppology, while only offi
cers of the coast artillery are to be in
structed In coast defense,
Oeaeral Hates' Order.
It was by Oeneral Order No. 39. issued
by General Bates October 28, that the
provision! of the War department order
were put into effect In the department.
After citing the order of the War depart
ment, he Instruots all post commanders to
report the names of those officers in the
excepted classes who need Instructions, and
also asks them to report where they have
not sufficient officers at the post to con
Suet the examinations. He also provides
for the establishment of noncommissioned
pffloers' schools from December 1 to March
II, two sessions a week of at least one
hour's duration, and post schools tor en
listed men during the same period.
When thia order reached the posts of the
department it was followed by a post prder
by the commander forming the post school.
At Fort Crook Major J. J. Crittenden and
Captain R. L. Houston were appointed as
Instructors In administration and Major
Abner Pickering and Captain W. H. Was
sell as Instructors In drill regulations.
The books to be used by the students
were specified, and each atudent ordered
to provide them for his own use. Recita
tions are from 11 to It in the forenoon
and from I to S In the afternoon.
With these duties the students and the
Instructors are required to keep up their
regular work, to serve as officers of the
day and officers of the guard, to drill their
troops at the usual times and In addition
act as instructors of the noncommissioned
officers' school and the school for the en
listed men.
The result of this condition Is that every
man not necessarily on leave, because of
his health, must be on duty all the
time. The extent of this was shown re
cently when it became necessary for the

Paul Kruger's Memoirs
From advance sheets of "The Memoirs of
Paul Kruger," which the Century company
will publish In America November 28. we
make the following extract. Here the old
president describes the first annexation of
the 8outh African Republic to England:
All the difficulties which President
Burgers encountered, owing to his own
fault, were employed by the English to
bring about and Juatlfy annexation. A
large trajorlty of the burghers who lived
In the plains were, as has already been
stated, dissatisfied with the president's
government, while the lnhahltante of th
villages. who consisted almost entirely of
foreigners, 2nd of whom a large number
were not even burghers, were contented
with Burgers' rule, above all because they
expected great things from the proposed
railway. When they now realized how
strong the .opposition was thev
came to the conclusion that annexation by
tne British crown would not be at all a
bad thing for them. It was from trtaa
men that Shepstone received petitions In
ivor oi annexation. These petitions were
signed almost entirely by the village popu
lations. Shepstone, the governor of . Natal, was
authcrised by the British government to
discover the best means for annexing the
country. He left Natal for Pretoria with
an escort of twenty-five men, for the pur
pose, as he pretended, of discussing the
Kaffir difficulties and other questions. He
added openly, which was the case, that the
republic had not defeated Secucunl and
that thia fact would be a dangerous In
citement to rebellion on Brttisb territory.
I clearly foresaw Shepstone'a Intentions
and asked President Burgers not to per
mit him to enter the town with his armed
bedy guard except under the escort of an
armed burgher force. President Burgers
paid no attention to my request.
The president's term of office had at this
time expired and a new election had be
come necessary. I was asked by a great
number of burghers to present myself as
a candidate, and, although I at first re
fused, I at last consented In order to put
a stop to the dissatisfaction which the
burghers had shown at my refusal to stand.
But I made thia condition with the election
committee, that, if Burgers obtained a
majority they must rest content and obey
him, so as not, through open discords, to
give England an excuae for carrying out
her plans of annexation. Already In the
Drat week In which the votes of the several
parties (not the official election) were re
corded, it became evident that I should
have a large majority. I went to President
Burgers and said to him:
"President, I promise to bring over the
majority of the burghers to your side It
you will promise me to take strong meas
ures against the annexation and to defend
our independence. If this is your Inten
tion you must make it plain, ao that I
can emphatically assure the burghers that
the Independence of our country will be
powerfully guarded. Otherwise my argu
ments will, of course, make no Impression.
There is my hand on It that I shall do
what I have offered to do."
Before the election took place, however.
the British flag waved over the once free
republic.
Shortly after the above conversation, on
the 21st of January. 1877. Shepstone arrived
at Pretoria with his armed bodyguard and
a few wagons. A number of "loyal" and
excited inhabitants were foolish enough
to take tne horses out of his carriage and
draw him to the house where be was to
commissary officer at headquarters to con
sult with the commissary officer at Fort
Crook. Under ordinary circumstances he
would have called that officer up by tele
phone and asked him to come up for an
hour or two, but upon this occasion It was
necessary to have an order Issued Instruct
ing the post commissary to report to head
quarters; otherwise he oould not have left
the post.
Whv the Instruction la Heeded.
Said an officer, speaking of the work:
When the number of regiments wss in
creased It was necessary to bring into the
service a large number of officers who had
not had the advantage of instruction at a
military school. Many of them had experi
ence In the volunteer regiments and could
handle troops In active work In a fairly sat
isfactory manner. They had learned the
routine of their duty, but had little knowl
edge of the theory under which they were
working. Young officers from West Point
were promoted to command companies be
fore they had served as many months as
lieutenant as some of their predecessors
had served years. This raw material, put
Into the army, had a bad effect. In that the
officers eould not fully understand their
duty uuder all conditions, aud this Instruc
tion is to take the place of the drill they
would have received bad they served the
usual time In lower grades. As sn effec
tive fighting force the officers are good,
but as theorists they are far from what
they should be, but when these schools have
completed their work they will be as strong
In theory ss they are In practice, and will
be as fine a body of soldiers as could be
brought together in any country."

stay. The population as a whole, on. tbfe
other hand, took the matter very quietly.
People who were preaent, and therefore In
a position to know, aay that there were
not ten burghers at his reception. The
first conference between the president and
his executive Read and 8hepstone took
place on the 26th day of January, 1877,
when Shepstone at once made a great
point of the "Inherent" weakness of the
republic and of the fact that it bad been
unable to subjugate Secucunl. The weak
ness displayed toward the Kaffir chiefs on
the part of the white men gave him grave
cause to fear, he said, thst difficulties
with the Kaffirs might also srlse In her
majesty's territories. The executive Raad
appointed a commission to discuss matters
more fully and chose State Attorney Jorls
sen and myself as members. I absolutely
refused, however, to discuss any questions
st this conference which effected the In
dependence of the republic, end nothing,
therefore, came of it. Shepstone had sev
eral interviews besides with President
Burgers, who finally decided to call an
extraordinary meeting of the Volksraad,
which took place In February.
The first subject discussed was Secucunt's
petition tor peace. As already mentioned,
President Burgers had left several strong
volunteer corps behind when the burgher
commsndos retired, end these had harassed
Secucunl -o closely that he was now suing
for pesce. But this did not suit Shepstone'
plans; for, If peace were concluded, the
principal argument in favor of the annexa
tion of the republic to the British crown
fell through. There would then be an
end to his talk about the general incapacity
of the republic to master the Kaffirs, or, as
he phrased it. Its "Inherent" weakness.
It was against my will that Burgers now
agreed to his proposal to send two envoys
to Secucunl In order to Investigate matters
on the spot. This "duumvirate" commis
sion, which consisted of Englishmen, of
course brought back the desired answer,
namely, that Secucunl had no Idea of mak
ing peace. This dishonesty cost the English
dear, as will shortly be seen.
The second matter for discussion was
that of a confederation with the British'
dominions In South Africa. An over
whelming majority of the burghers sent in
memorials declaring against the measure.
I myself made a violent apeech against
any such plsn. In which I said that this
confederstion would mean the absolute
loss of our Independence.
Burgers now resorted to a strong
measure. He pointed out that several of
the most violent of the opposition in the
Raad had refused to pay the aforesaid tax
of 5 per head and were consequently de
barred from taking part In the present
discussion and requeeted these members
to withdraw from the Raad as unqualified.
Although the state sttorney, Dr. Jorlssen,
was on the president's stde, the Raad re
fused to accede to his request, which was
certainly a great blow to Burgers. It
seems that thia Incident confirmed him
finally In his opinion that the existing con
stitution of the South African Republic
did not give him sufficient power and that
It was, therefore, Incumbent upon him to
drew up snotber which would fetter him
less. At any rate, he did draw up a new
constitution and submitted it to the Raad.
It provided for the Institution of respon
sible ministers, a supreme court and ex
tension of the powers of the state presi
dent. At the same time sn alteration was
made in the arms of the republic by the
addition of a gnu. Although this measure
met with the strongest opposition in the

England Annexed the South
African Republic In 1877 "Re
venge for Jlajuba Hill."
Volksrsad the proposed constitution was at
last accepted and before the Raad broke
up I was elected vice president. The
people, however, as the highest authority,
rejected the new constitution.
The Volksraad did not break up in a Ifry
happy mood. Most of the members feared
that the thread by which the sword of
Damocles was suspended over the republic
would break and end Its Independence. Al
though there were several who hoped that
the many new measures which the Volks
raad bad passed In Its extraordinary ses
sion might avert the danger. It soon became
evident that the pessimists were right.
Shepstone seemed to be only waiting for the
arrival of the high commissioner. Sir Bartle
Frere, before proceeding to the annexation
of the South African Republic. Frere ar
rived In Capetown at the beginning of April,
1877, and as early as April 7 Shepstone had
an Interview with the executive Raad, In
which he openly declared that he had been
authorised and was prepared to annex the
country on behalf of the British govern
ment. I at once told him that I would
never five my consent to any such step, as
I was bound by my oath to uphold the In
dependence of the republic. I must submit
If the Volksraad agreed to the annexation
and thus sbsolved me from my oath, but
not otherwise. Shepstone thereupon asked
me how long it would take to call the
Volksraad together. I told him that I
thought It would not take long If the presi
dent Issued the summons at once. But here
President Burgers Intervened, saying that
It would not do to try Shepstone'a patience
too far, and so the plan fell through.
Burgers proposed Instead that we should
at once draw up S protest against the an
nexation whilst the government of the re
public still existed, and appoint a commis
sion to take the protest to England. This
was done, but Burgers had never expected it
to succeed, nor was he a member of the
commission. In the meanwhile, on the 12th
day of April, 1877, Shepstone executed his
plan and annexed the republic.
This annexation cannot be too strongly
brsnded as sn entirely iniquitous set on
England's part. It was In flagrant contra
diction wtth the Sand River convention of
1852, by which England solemnly under
took to acknowledge the unrestricted inde
pendence of the South African Republic and
never to encroach upon the districts north
of the Vaal. But as soon as It suited her
convenience, perfidious Albion broke her
solemn peaceful promise, as she always has
done, and as she will always continue to do
when it serves her purpose. What misery
has come upon South Africa through this
breach of treaty! The late war, which has
reduced the whole country to ruins quite
apart from costing hundreds of men and
thousands oi' Innocent women and children
their lives this war, In which England has
behaved In so uncivilized and base a fashion
as to draw down upon herself the contempt
of all civilized nations, had Its origin partly
In Bhepstone's annexation. I say partly,
for the war had two causes. The first and
principal cause was the wealth of the gold
fields of the republic; the second, "revenge
for Majuba Hill." But If it had not been
for Shepstone'a snnexstlon there would
have been no Majuba Hill, and no "revenge
tor Majuba H1U" would have been called
for.

Investment
All good land within the rain belt has advanced in
price on an average of more than a dollar a year since
it was first settled. The investment offered by the
Western Canada Land & Colonization Company, based
on the above, would net 56 per cent per annum.
The larger portion of the land sold in Western Canada in the last
year has been bought tor colonization purpose, and as the enterprise is
practically In Its Infancy it therefore affords opportunity for much activity
and large profits.
