information as to the feeling in that
country. 1t says that the English colon
lists i'll Natal are very much dissatisfied
at being plunged into war, and do not
like the policy of Chamberlain and the
imperial government. They had no
grievances in Natal, and yet the fight
ing is practically all OH Their. ground,
and they are suffering from it. They
also criticise bitterly the dilatory policy
OF the government in getting in shape

Bishop McGolrick's visit in Rome early
this year, Leo XIII. announced the elc-
walton OF Father Buh to the high dig
