The remnant of the German East African forces under General
von Lettow-Vorbeck surrendered on Thursday week, in compliance with the armistice. The German commander, who was as elusive as General De Wet, was driven out of the ex-German colony into Mozambique a year ago. After wandering through Portuguese territory, he had recrossed the frontier and entered Northern Rhodesia, where he surrendered. He had kept numerous small British columns busily engaged in pursuit of him through wild tropical country for two years, but after his defeat by the British and Belgian expeditions in 1915 he had ceased to be a danger.
