quire Colonel Roosevelt S birthplace at No. 20
East Twentieth street, New York City, and also
the premises next to it. The interior OF the
house is to be reproduced to conform to the
time of the colonel's birth and the exterior re-
stored; the structure will be center for CIVIC
activities. It is to be thrown open to the peo-
pie of the land under proper management and

EorPirn Drrse PurcD1

The London correspondent of "The
Manchester Guardian" writes to his
paper about the visit in the British
capital of a dcputation Of South Afri-
can natives, who propose to submit a
petition to King George. We read:
"The petition breathes a spirit Of
warm thankfulncss for the successful
ending Of the war and of loyalty to
the King, and the requests are of the
most modest nature. There is a pa
thetic recital of established wrongs,
which, in the light Of Allied war aims,
certainly seemed pretty bad. Then
there are short statements uDon the re-
markable series of loyal actions taken
by the natives during the war, Of
which the British public knows little.
"The appeal asking for redress
enumeratcs four or five specific grev-
ances. In the whole petition there is
only one passage approaching a
threat and this is where the repre-
sentatives Of 100000 natives declare
that under no circumstances will they
tolerate republican government, or
anything leading up to it, as proposed
by General Hertzog.
"Thc members of the South African
deputation are also the bearers of q
petition to the King from the sons,
wives and family of Lobengula, point
ing out that not only their own people
but tho dependents of Lobengula have
been dispossesscd of every land right
in theirs own country.
"Thc appeal of the family Of Loben-
gula TO the King is really an earnest
plea to remove from them the stigma
Of being treated as aliens in their own
country by restoring to them and their
tribes full land rights over those lands
(and only those lands) which the
Chartered Company has not sold or
leased to SettlnrS"
