ROBERTS OPERATIONS.
ais Men Meeting with strong Opposition
In the X lief OF wspener.

London. April 2i.-The strong body
OF reinforcements which Lord Roberts
sent to assist the relief OF Wepener and
to endeavor TO cnvelop and cut on the
Beers from retreat nOrthwnrd fnr-
nishes further evidence that the Boera
are assembled In much larger forces
around Wcpencr than had hitherto
been supposed: and, as the Times, In
IN editorial this morning remarks,
whatever may be- the difficulties o.
roads and rains. the Beers always aI-
pear To have guns, and sometimes big
ones. where they want them.
knrriefontein. mentioned In Lord
Roberts message to the war Office, is
fifteen miles southeast OF BloemfOntein.
Leeuw kop Is two miles further south.
Apparently the British captured
Pnar'ie Kraai Sunday night. The Beers
evacuated Leeuw kop during the night,
removing the gun. and the British &C.
cupled the kop the next morning.
Although the Beers appear TO he Of
fcring stout resistance tn the British
advance. their position Ii dangerous.
They can scarcely delay further their
retreat northward without incurring
the risk Of being cut on. Usually they
have been well Informed regarding the
British plans and they are not likely to
run such risk. especially as they have
partially accomplished their object In
drawing large forces from Blocmfon-
fcin on long marches and have there
by delayed the advance on Pretoria.
The Blocmfontcin correspondent Of
the Standard. discussing the operations
at Leeuw kop. says:
NJ M early stage the cavalry came
under heavy iirc from n pompon on
ridge adjoining tccuw kop. Unable
TO continue Its march to the southeast.

people realize the meaning of the
words as they go about with this
familiar greeting Upon their lips? IL
wish you a happy New Year," Does
it not seem that the wish carries a
blessing with it? And | believe it
does when spoken by friends who's
words are always true and sincere.
For the benefit of those thoughtless
one who never read between the lines.
let us a~nalyze this significant greeting.
In the first place we wish our friends
happiness, and the next question which
naturally suggests itself Is. what con
stitutes happiness? A little friend Of
