CECIL RHODES'S WILL.
BEQUEST TO HIS BROTHERS
NO LOAFERS TO INHERIT.
AMERICAN AND GERMAN OPINION.
United Pres3 Aseociation—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received April 7th, 9.20 a,m.) LONDON, April 6th. Mr Cecil Rhodes entailed his Newmarket estate to his brothers, with the stringent condition that no one should inherit it without having spent ten years in an occupation. He further stipulated that it could not be inherited by anyone who "loafed." The newspapers compare Mr Rhodes's will with that of Csesar's. They praise his/ consistent devotion to the i<ieals of Imperial unity.
American comments state that it is believed that the terms of the will should form a perpetual link between America and Great Britain.
Great satisfaction similarly prevails in official circles in Germany.
