FAITH OF THE MEN IN THEIR
LEADER,
(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Per Press Association.
London, February 18. Lord Roberts's movement for the combined invasion of the Free State and the relief of Kimberley is pronounced by military critics to be unsurpassed. Tha unwavering mobility of General French's column, which reached Kimberley on Thursday, was particularly noticeable, although the march was through overpowering heat and dust, with at times occasional storms of rain and lightning. The transport service-and the splendid marching of the infantry were conspicuous features of the niarch. The combination dovetailed maiwellously, despite long marches across deep waterholes and sand.
_ The troops throughout displayed the incarnation of faith in their commander.
