TEUTON AND BOER BOTHA LIFTS THE VEIL.

"General Botha's speech at the great demonstration at Capetown recently lifts the curtain not only on the secret intrigues but upon the character of the men who govern Germany," says the Westminster Gazette. "He tells us he has reason to suppose that the German Governor of South-West Africa had corresponded with -<he Emperor William, whose answer wa« : 'I shall not only recognise the independence of South Africa, but even guarantee it, provided the rebellion is started immediately.' " PROOF POSITIVE. 'If there remains an Afrikander, after General Botha's revelations, who continues to regard tne campaign against the Sud-West as aggressive, he must be harder to convince than Didvmus himself," says the Pall Mall. "Maritz, the traitor, entered into negotiations with the Germans as far back as 1913. He asked artillery, arms, and ammunition, j and a guarantee of the independence of South Africa. "Here is proof positive that, at the very time when people in this country weTff rejoicing over the better relations ,' established with Germany, the Germans, led by the All-Highest, were secretly fomenting rebellion among the subjects of the King. But what the Kaiser's professed 'guarantee' was worth is shown -by the further discovery of | maps delimiting the world as the Ger r mans proposed to make it at the 'Peace J of Rome, 1916,' in which all Africa south ! of the equator is marked 'Greater Ger,many,' one small portion only being retained as a 'Boer Reservation.' " I "Here we have evidence of the stupid I and poisonous intriguing which goes hand in hand with the open warfare of the German people, and which is justi- , fied and recommended in their war-book," comments the Westminster. "Its poisonous nature is self-evident, but we call it stupid, because only a very dense kind of intelligence could have dictated that particular message. The Emperor clearly thinks that he is adding something of importance, and something that will be gratifying to the Dutch, when he says that he will guarantee as well as recognise the independence of South Africa, whereas it must be evident to everyone else that a German guarantee would. ,be German vassalage, let alone the intrinsic worthlessness, as revealed in this war, of German pledges to respect other people's territory or other people's property, when 'necessity' requires that the one should be violated or the other confiscated." FEELING OF NAUSEA. ' The old saying "Coming events- cast their shadows before" is especially true of a bilious attack. You will have warning of its approach. Your appetite will fail, you will feel dull and languid and ' have a feeling of nausea. As soon as any of these symptoms appear take three of Chamberlain's Tablets and the attack may be warded off. By taking a course of Chamberlain's Tablets you will be permanently relieved of all bilious tendencies. — Advt. '
