Further. Fur-ther. I would inform your currc-ponrieni , that David Starr Jordan has hern in the, pa it a rabid Anglophile. I wouid tel'i him that his immaculate friend had the ice nerositv to fay n t t he out break of 1 lie Boer war that Great Britain for fifty yeirrt had never foiuht anything that wt-re pants; ;.t least he was so yjioU-d by tr then e.crn-nl pres.
