Under date November 1, an officer of the Kroonstad Camp writes: 'We have cricket, tennis, and croquet for them, and they are all jolly well treated.

We are happy to state that the spirit of loyalty is daily increasing in this camp, and that the majority of the male refugees have taken the oath of allegiance.'
