THE RELIEF OF LADYSMITH.
According "to a London despatch of March. 21 Mr. Winston Churchill, in ti/ despatch from Pietermaritzburg, warmly resists . the ' contention that the relief of Ladysmith rose out of Lord Roberts' operations. "On the contrary," he says, "the.operations of. Lord Roberts' were assisted by the fact that General Buller kept 16,000 Boers occupied. It would be a. cruel and unworthy thing to deprive the Natal army of their hard-won laurels, and none would more vigorusly re^ pudiat© such suggestion than Lord Roberts himself."
