General Roberts Says They Are the Best
in Use in South Africa.

London.-The Official Gazette CON
tains Field Marshal Roberts's report
on the field transport in South Africa:
He speaks in the highest terms IL
American buckwagons, saying:
six buckwagons were imported Tor
trial from the United States. They
proved superior to any other pattern,
either of Cape or English manufac-
ture. The superiority of these wagons
is doubtless due to the fact that mule
wagon are largely used in America
for the carriage of goods as well as
for military transport, and the manu-,
facturers have learned from practical
experience what is the best type of
wage and what are the most suitable
materials to employ in building it. 1t
NAV be added that the wagon in ques'
ton cost considerably less thar Bristol
pattern wagons"
