thousands without food, clothing or
shelter
The allotment of food by the COM

pointed out. was only sufficient to sup
ply nourishment for four days out Of
8 month, with the amount now being
expended, and during the remainder of
the month the refugees had to seek
for aid elsewhere.

Mrs. S. c. Cronwright Schreiner). the
author, is dead.
Ollye Schreiner WAS known not only
Tor the success of her first book. The
Story OF an African Farm" and the
comment aroused by the volumes which
followed it, but also for her partisan
ship OF the Beers during the struggle

Its success was emphatic. The vol
ume dealt with the psych illogical de
velopmenr OF girl reared on q farm,
on the African veidt and her progres
sion from childlike faith to atheism
in her protests against the treatment
accorded the blacks and Beers by the
British, and this spirit of resentment
against British rule was present in
much Of her work
When the Boer War loomed I'D she
published volume Trooper Peter
Halket," which though written in the
form of fiction was actually an indict
ment of British cruelties in South
Africa. This caused immense discus
sion and ran through numerous
editions
From the proceeds of the volume,
which was filled with charges against
Cecil Rhodes, she sent present to her
mother in South Africa, who promptly
