| A GOOD WORD FOR OLD BULLER
London, March 21.-Winston Churchill,
! in a dispatch from Pietermaritzburg
/ warmly resents the contention that the
relief Of Ladysnith rose out OF Lord Rob
/ ertS' operations "On the contrary" he
says, the operations of Lord Roberts
/ were assisted by the fact that General
! Butler kept 16, 900 Beers occupied. It would
/ be cruel and unworthy thing to deprive
( the Natal army of their hard-won laurels.
and none would more vigorously repudi-
ate such a suggestion than Lord Rob
erts himself"
Spencer Wilkinson writing in the Morn
/ ing Post. justifies Winston Churchins

ed and surrendered rebels.
