· LORD BUXTON, AND SOUTH AFRICA

LINKING UP BOER AND BRITON.

Last year Lord Buxton, at the request of the Government, sci- sented to the prolongation of bis term afoficons Governor-General of the Union of South Africa and High Commissioner for South Africa until May 21, 1920. His consent, recently given, to a fur- ther prolongation of his office: until July is a fitting opportunity to call attention 10 the valuable services he has rendered to the Union of South Africa, sayı a writer in the Duiły Chronicle.

Though Lord Buxton doas got speak the Taal, he knows how to address the Dutchman in South! Africa. Perhaps his realisation of their susceptibilities had a great deal to do with it. Some of his most successful visits were to Dutch districts, where the smoke of the rebellion had hardly blown away. Loyalists were so few A correspondent writes"The that, sometimes, they were only.
