BY CABLE--PBESS ASSOCIATION—COPYBIGHT. Received 11.5 a m. to-day. PARIS, Oct. 10. The unveiling at Delville Wood of a memorial to the South African soldiers who were killed in the war takes place to-day. About 500 prominent British and South Africans passed through Boulogne and arrived at Amiens by special train. A large crowd waited to witness the arrival of the Channel steamer Biarritz, which, however, owing to the rough sea and strong wind, grounded at the entrance to the harbour but was refloated after twenty minutes. Among those, who were on board wero Priiico Arthur of Connaught, Earl Haig, and General Hertzog.
