There's an awful lot of meaning
in that phrase. Perfection is its
only synonym. Perfection of quail
ity, making, and service. Then the
price must be the completing
feature of the quartette. Every
yard of goods that goes toward
the making Of our clothing is
tested. The ta'oring is of the
highest order. The wear can't
be harmed by good, hard, legiti-
mate service, and then prices are

LONDON, March 29.-The war Office
has received the following from Lord
Roberts:
General Clements has occupied
Faurcsmirh without opposition. One g
FOUNDER and one Martini Maxim were
discovered IL a prospecting shaft of a
mine, where a large quantity of ammu-
milton was buried. Arms are being sur
rendered gradually and the inhabitants
are settling down. Colonel Pitcher Wis
tied Ladybrand On March 90. On leav-
ing the town he was attacked by a party
Of the enemy and one Of his force was
wounded and five are missing. During
the sllrmish north Of the MOdder river
on March % five men were wounded.
Three are reported 70 be missing Cap
tain Sloane Stanley of the Sixteenth
Lancers and five men Of that regiment
were taken prisoners.

Bloemfontein is the topic If the day and
F
cOmmander-in-ch chief in South Africa cnll-
ceals his movements as carefully as he
has done in the past. April is set by
various critics as the probable date for
the departure Of the main Irmy from
Bloemfontein. 1t is pointed out that
there will then he over a week bard

Roberts attention. The advance, when
it does occur, will probably be made by
parallel columns along a broad front.
1 The movements of the cavalry force and
part of the infantry toward Glencoe can
scarcely be construed as an actual ad-
vance, although they undoubtedly point
10 the imminence Of such a step. But
only a small part of General Gatacre's
forces have vet arrived at BlOemfonteln
and until that movement Is completed 1t
is not likely Roberts will start for Pre-
tOria.
