This Government are either the big
gest set Of liars in the country or they
display an incompetent indifference to
the fortunes of war so appalling, in
view Of their responsibilities, as to be
criminal. Questioned in the House Of
Commons by members as to what is
taking place at the front, they always
reply that they have no information"
This s simply the evasion Of towards
and sneaks. They know very we'll that
things are going badly at the front
and that the condition Of affairs in
Cape Colony is so serious as to amount
to a national danger. But their policy
all along has been to conceal from the
public the effects Of their gross incom-
petence. The military correspondents
whose letters we publish from week to
week, lift the veil slightly, but the ter
rible truth probably will never be fi''

three years old, her name being regis

parish register; Acts apostle. son Of
Thomas and Elizabeth Pegden, was
baptized August 2, 1895. Again this
name figures in records I'm 1888, when
Acts of the Apostles, son of Richard
and Phebe Kennett, was baptized. This
