BOTHA DEAD,
LONDON, Aug. 30.
A DEAZER LOAF.
LONDON, Aug. 31. A telegram from Mr. Asquith says The Food Controller, after review. "the death of Botha is in my judging the arbitration award of wages ment as great, a personal lows as the and hours for bakers; bas sanctioned empire could have sustained. His an increase of one halfpenny in the talents as a commander in the field price of the quartern-loa£ were of the highest order. In the sphere of statesmanship he will always be remembered as entitled to the main credit for the success of the most splendid demonstration in cur history of the bealing, unifying power of freedom and full self government. For years I enjoyed and prized his friendship and I deeply deplore his death."%
Everywhere the most profound regret is manifested over the loss to the empire which is regarded as at present irreparable, while this death is considered
a calamity to South Africa as the subcontinent has lost the weightiest protagonist of racial conciliation
The Star says Botha gained an admiration and respect which is unique. His loss we can very hardly bear. The Evening Standard recalls that in the meetings of the British empire cabinet in Paris his was the dominant voice. President Wilson declared that his speech to the Supreme war council on the mandate for German South West Africa was the most convincing public utterance he had ever beard.

TERRORISM AND FRIGHTFOLNISs,
STOCKHOLM, Aug. 29. Lenin, speaking at Moscow on the fate of Bolshevism at Budapest, said the worst enemies of Bolshevism were the moderate Socialists, who also menaced Bolshevism in Russia. The only efficient weapon against such moderation was the red terror. It was the failure of the Hungarian commun- ists to use terrorism which had caused their downfall. The telegram (from Petrograd) adds that this is the first time Lenin has proneuroed himself
favour of terrorism.

The Mission interview- ed stated that the Syrians generally maintained that Palestine, should, be included in Syria in order to form at united country. The Syrians opposed the Zionist movement as Jews, were anty: 10% of the population and Moslems feared a big Jewish influx. The Mission opines that there seems to be an overwhelming sentiment in favour of the United States mandate. Their report doesn't necessarily advise an American mandate for all Turkey but it is: understood it opines. much more than Armenia and Constantinople should be included if the United States. decide to accept the mandate. The mission states that there seemed a general desire in Syria that Emir Feisul should be king.
