General Van de Venter is nearing the end of his
task in what was German East Africa. The British and Belgian columns converging from various points have this month broken up the enemy's main forces, captured all his heavy guns, and taken nearly a thousand German European prisoners. The remnant under General von Lettow-Vorbeck was last week in a valley thirty miles north of the Portuguese frontier, and its surrender cannot be long delayed.
