GENERAL J. C. SMUTS WELCOMED IN PRETORIA Streets Crowded With People From All Parts of the Transvaal London, Jan. 28.—A telegram to Reuter’s from Pretoria, South sAfrica, under date of Friday states that Gen- eral Jan Christian Smuts was accord- ed a magnificent public welcome upon his arrival in Pretoria on that day. The which were decorated, were crowded with people from ali parts of the Transvaal. General Smuts, replying to addresses said that he had been surprised be- yond measure at the splendid co-oper- ation of the mixed forces of his com- mand and their wonderful work in the campaign, which ‘“perhaps was the hardest in the history of the world.” General Smuts said that the difficulties of the campaign were far Zreater than had been anticipated. The young South Africans, he said, at the cutset thought they could easily con- uer the German black troops, but they soon revised that opinion and his fellow officers declare that they never fought against better or braver troops, He described East Africa as one of the most glorious countries he had ever seen, but also the most difficult and dangerous with incomparable mountains, forests and swamps. If the government had known what they were doing in sending an army to conquer East Africa, he declared, they would have thought twice. General Smuts added that what gave him the greatest pleasure was that young South African troops were com. posed of gentlemen, declaring “I never have seen better behaved troops in my life. If you want a certificate of their character go to the numerous German women and_children scattered throughout that barbarous country and ask them what they think of the South Africans; they will tell you.” TESTIMONIAL DINNER FOR SAMUEL GOMPERS To be Given in New York Tonight on 67th Anniversary of His Birth.
