Hales, representative in South Africa of the Daily News, is the latest war correspondent, to attack the methods and the red tape of the British war office. He says: "Let me tell you how our m my in South Africa is treated by t tie incompetent p< ople of the good .city of London. I pledge my word as a tnan and a journalist that every written word is true t .?..ii ...i.i a_._ . a ..ii, luiu limning inn ut?| r?l*l f.* ? ?!. n ?r set down aught in m il-1 ire.

I will deal now partieu larly with the men who are net i ing under the command of Lieut, (f'ifl. Sir Leslie Bundle. This goo l soldier and courteous gen | tleman has to hold a f rontage | line from Winburg via Senkal,j almost to the borders of Basuto ; land. His whole front, extend i ing nearly a hundred miles, is constantly threatened by an act , ive, dashing, determined enemy, an enemy who knows the country far better than an English fox hunting squire knows the ground he hunts over season alter season, j To hold this vast lino intact Gen Iiundle has to march from point to point as his scouts warn him of the movements of the tireless foes. General Bundle's task is a colossal one, and any sane man would think that gigantic efforts; would be made to keep him am ply supplied with food for his| soldiers. Hut such is not. the case. | The men are absolutely starving. Many of the infantrymen are so weak that they can barely stag ger along under the weight of their soldierly equipment. They are worn to shadows, and move with weary, listless footsteps on the march. People high up in authority may deny this, but he' who denies it sullies the truth. j This is what the soldiers get to eat, what they have been getting to eat for a long time past, and what they are likely to get for a long time to come, unless England rouses herself, and bites to the bone in regard to the people who are responsible lor it. One pound of raw Hour, which the soldiers have to cook alter a hard day's march, is served out to each man every alternate day. The following day he eats one pound of biscuits. In this country there it no fuel excepting a little ox dung, dried by the sun. If a soldier is lucky enough to pick up a little he can go to the nearest water, of which there is ' plenty, mix his cake without 1 yeast or baking powder, and I mu b a oAn,a o 4 *-.4' .? ....... 4 ,.1. ... 1 j iii?iii> ovnau nw 11 wi <1 ?

The people in authority will prob (j ably tell you that Gen. Rundle ^ and his splendid fellows are so isolated that food cannot be oh- 1 tained for thorn. I say this is the v case: I. in company with anoth s or correspond" nt, left Gen.

Then hock to the junction and down to Gape Town, where we remained for 48 hours, and then made our I wsy tiack to Winburg hikI from ' Winburg we came, without escort, r to rejoin Gen. Rundle at Llam t moma. If two war correspond- I ents could traverse t bat country | and get through with winter supplies for themselves, why cannot , the transport people manage to the same? These transport people affect to look with contempt 8 i>n a war correspondent and his J opinions on things military, but if we could not manage transport a business better than rhev do. s most of us would willingly stand y up and allow ourselves to be 1; 81101. "Our men on the fields of war ,, are tarnishing, whilst millions worth of food lies rottening on our wharves and in our cities; . food that ought, with ordinary management, to he within easy r reach of our lighting generals. ri Hritain asks of Kuudle the fulfil- o merit of a task that would tax the energies and the abilities of the first general in Europ , and with a stout heart he faces the J world of work in front of him; * faces it with .men whose knees n knock under them when they y" march, with hands that shake J* when they shoulder their rifles; u shake, but not with fear; treni ? tile, but not from wounds, but from weakness, from poverty of blood and muscle by right of con- [5 riniial hunger. Are those men fit s to storm a kopje? Are they fit to tramp the whole night through to make a forced march to turn a position, and then fight like T their tamers fought next day? "I tell you no. And yours be the shame if the Empire's flag ^ tie lowered?nnt thoira huf enm-o I for you, what do you do?

To this communist ion M. Delisse, minister of forsign affairs, sent the following epl.v : "No order to depart from Pekin vill be given our ministers so ong as the route is unsafe.

The Hears Badly Frightened by Aii L'nl'ttTOiultltt Report and Made Mad Rush to Cover. New York, Aug. 10?The An gust report from Washington, re specting the condition of the cot ton produced almost a panic among the shorts on the cotton exchange today. For a long period they had heen operating on the theory that the crop situation was of a high average, ignoring contradictory advices. At noon the official report was announced. It shnwml the ?v*?r age condition of the crop to be] 70 per cent., against 81 per cent, in August last year This was worse than the meat daring bull had presumed to hit at. There was a wild dash to cover short contracts. There was enormous buying also by a class of traders which had been wait ing for some such report to throw consternation in the ranks of the shorts and justify a bull cam paign. Everything offered was taken and the market, advanced by rapid leaps, so that within a few minutes after the announcement of the report prices were 20 to 21 points above the closing of yesterday. Still later business increased the advance to 21 to 20 points. It is estimated that the transactions in cotton futures to day did not fall far from a million hales,or about up to the maximum record.
