London, January 8 A decided feeling

The London Dally News' uorrespoa-
dent says ' of the Stormberg disaster:
The men were marching t ease In
fours, with rifles ander their arms, when
without the slightest warning, a mur
derous fire was poured into them from a
long ridge. ; So sudden and unexpected
was this dank attack that the liae; was
broken up in confusion. The General at
once gave orders to make for cover.
Another storm is brewing .that will
likely break over the heads of the trans
port authorities. Reinforcements are
urgently needed, in. every direoUoii In

four battalions which should have em
