Correspondence Of Associated Press.)
LONDON, June S0..-The yellow per-
IL as the Chinese crisis is now called
here, is, for the moment, relegated to
second place. Public interest in the
hospital scandals in South Africa has
so absorbed attention that 10 amount
of official quibbling can suppress It.
The treatment of thousands Of wounded
and fever-stricken British soldiers in
the field threatens TO become as seri-
GUS a matter for public agitation as
the military camps were after the
Spanish-American war. II Lord Rob-
erts was not so frankly willing to
shoulder the major part Of the respon-
sibility, the outcry Mr.. Burdett-
Coutts' letters raised would wellnigh
have swamped the government. But.
few people care to seriously criticize
the general whose consideration for
his men. especially the wounded, is a
byword in the army and elsewhere.
The action Of Lord Landsdowne. the
secretary Of state for war. in submit
ting the criticism Of Lord Roberts him
self, was a master-stroke Of politics
which temporarily saved the govern
mant's head. However. If the proposed
parliamentary committee finds the war
Office failed to adopt necessary medical
precautions it viii take the conserva-
tives a long time to re-establish their
prestige With thousands in Great Brit
ain who have suffered bitterly through
the loss and illness Of relatives in South
Africa. II has been hard enough for
those bereaved to grin and bear" the
long casualty lists. but with the suspi-
cion that lives were needlessly wasted,
there is no longer any restraint to their
sorrow or limit to their indignation.
A significant sign of the times is the
announcement in the July issue Of the
Nineteenth Century that some Of the
most distinguished men, regardless Of
party, have agreed TO join an associa-
ton with the object of fixing steadily
public attention on the lessons Of the
war, foremost among which is the ne
cessity for examining the defenses Of
the empire and the need Of conducting
the various departments Of state on or
binary business principles. Among
those who have promised to become
members are Lord Roseberry, the Ear
Of Leven and Melville the Earl Of Ros'
Sc, the Earl Of Clanwilliam, Viscount
Peel. the Bishop of London (the Rt
