He attended the'Imperial Conference in London in 1907, and was a member of the South African National Con- vention, afterwards visiting England with *he other delegates in order. to assist the Secretary of State in the passage of the South Africa Aet through the Imperial Parliament. When the gréat war broke out Botha elécted for the Empire. By diplomatic means he sought to hold the irreconcileables in check, and when rebellion came he crushed it quickly. Then came his campaign against the Germans in Squthwest Africa. The campaign was a master- piece of rapidity and efficiency.

CANADA'S WELCOME GRATIFIES BRITAIN "People. of the Dominion Are Surpassing All Expectations." A despatch {rom London says: --All London newspapers are featuring the extraordinarily entbusiastic welcome the Prince of Wales is receiving in Canada. The Westminster Gazette says:-- . "No one ever doubted that the Prince would receive such a welcome; his position, his personality and the part he played in the struggle wherein the Canadians bore so great a share were sufficient to assure that. But the people of the Dominion are sur- passing all expectations by the hearti- ness of their welcome and by the keen pleasure they are obviously taking in the Prince's visit. In the midst of all these manifestations of public in-| . terest and of his own popularity, the Prince is bearing himself well, dis- playing that quiet courtesy and mod- have a! yiendeared him @ at home."
