PRINCE OF WALES IN AFRICA.

Maseru, Mar 29. After postponement for a day owing to rain, the greatest Pitso or council in the history of Basutoland, attended by 50,000 Basutos, including 20,000 horsemen in addition to 1,000 white visitors from Johannesburg, Bloemfontein and other large towns, upched in, bril- liant weather this morning.

Perhaps the most moving and most impressive scene of its kind during the whole tour was when the Basutos sirenmed in the whole of yesterday to a mighty camp near Maseru from their towering rugged hill-fastnesses (many of which are 12,000 feet above the sea lovel), mounted of afoot swinging battle axes and knob-kerries to do homage to the "great white chief."

Teeming masses of warriors waited all day long clad in bright- coloured blankets in perfect formation and when the postponement of the Pitso was announced the vast assembly moved off without the slightest disorder to the hills where they feasted and sang amid a ring of bonfires..

Eighty-five cattle were slaughtered and 500 bags of meni dis- tributed to the natives who carly that morning emerged from the hills in sections of twenty as far as the eye could see, while thousands of riderless horses trotted in eaddled and bridled, one man accom- panying every 200 of them-Reuter

The Press states that Chang Tso-lin recently offered the British and American Co- suls at Mukden' to begin an anti-Bolshevist campaign by cancelling the Soviet right on the Chinese Eastern Railway in return for a logn of twenty million dollars-Reuter.
