dent of The Tribune says. that the
British army in South Africa has at
last resumed the northern advance
toward Petersburg. Mushroom is
situated little north of Pretoria. 1t
was held for few days by General
Baden-Powell in August last year, but
had to be evacuated because the
force then at Lord Roberts disposal
was insufficient at once to provide a
permanent garrison and to secure the
railway line northward from Pretoria.
There can be little doubt that Lord
Kitchener's latest report indicates the
execution of a comprehensive plan for
the conquest and pacitication of the
northern Transvaal.
