has issued, through Lord Kitchener,
his chief OF staff, the following order:
The conmander-in-chief wishes to

amount taken. Officers viii be held
responsible for the observances Of the
rule that soldiers are never allowed to
enter private houses or to modest the
tnha bitants on any pretext Whatever
and every precaution must be taken
TO suppress l0Oting or petty robbery by
any connected with the army.
When supplies are absolutely neces-
sary for the subsistence of the army
and the inhabitants are unwilling to
meet such demands, commanding Of
fiCsrs may, after having satisfied them
selves by careful personal investigation
that such supplies are necessary and
available, order these in such cases to
be taken by force, fun receipt there

upon the ground that Mr.. Roberts pos
