By an Order in Council Great Bri- tain hag been placed andér a modified form of martial law, which, however, ual not be confounded with military aw, Martial law may be defined as that military rule or authority which ex- ists in thpe of war, and is confersed by the laws of war, in relations persona and things within the scope of active military operations, apd or the purpese of the wer. Ip other words, it is the application of military govern. ment (6 pefsons add propery within its scope. law, on the other hawd, is and over individuals and their property. Buildings may be destroyed, lands tants may be reguired to leave given areas as necessity dictates. People MAY not trespass on railways or loiter about bridges. It is an offence io publish information as to the move- ment of troops, while the spreading of reports calculated to csuse dis- affection or alanm may bring the of- fender into grave tronbie. Jt may be taken for granted that the powers given to the British mili- tary autherities will be In pp way abused. Nevertheiess, if the goed sense and loyally of Baglisbmen fall to secure implicit obedience in the 'matters indicated there will be no the powers which the order confers. But War Stepped In. Lord Kitchener, the British Secre- tary of War, would probably have now been on his way to India to succeed Lord Hardinge as viceroy, | had not the Huropean war developed so suddenly, Lord Hardioge recently lest his wile, and, as he is not in health him- self, he has asked to be retired from active service for a time at least. The suggestion that Kitchener succeed him was being taken up seriously when the European war situation be- came acute. The sycceas Lord Kiteh- ener had in putting down the Na- tionalist movement in Egypt suggest- ed the wisdom of sending him to In- dia to handle the guarchistic move- ment with which that country {s mere permeated than ever. As the organ- {zers of the movement Bave the sym- pathy of a great many of the natives; it has become a serious situation for the Indian police to handle. Lord Kitchener has just received the letters patent gramting him his earldom, which was bestowed on him on the King's birthday. His lordship is to be known as Harl Kitehener of Khartoum, Viscount BRBreome of Broome, in the County of Kent, and Baron Denton of Denton, in the Coun- ty of Kent. There is a special clause providing for the succession te the title, in default of an heir, to kis bro- ther, Col. Kitchener, and his eldest son, and then to the son of the late Gen. Sir F. W. Kitchener, another brother. Col. Kitchener has a son and a daughter, while the late Bir Frederick Kitchener left a son and three daughters, so although the new ear] is unmarried there is little like- lihood of the title falling to abeyance. Journalists and War. The South African war furnished | & singular instance of co-operation between military men and journal- ists, The BRemiontein "Friend," which ran from Masch 16 to April 16, 1900, owed its origin to a sug- gestion of Lord Roberts. "The duty of setting it a-going." writes J. D. Symon, "was deputed to nome other than the cemsor, Lord Stapley, who called to his aid four eminent corre- spondents -- Mr. Percival Landon, of The Times: Mr. H. A. Gwynne, of Reuter"s; Mr. D. W. Buxten, of The Johannesburg Star; and Mr. Julian Ralph, of The Daily Mail." A sum of $1,000 was subseribed, and a small and. poinfluential sheet published in | Bloemfontein taken over with the money: During its brief existence The Friend contrived to secure some brilliant comtribuiers, amply fulfilled its purpose of providing information and entertainment for the army. Bar- iy copies are pow much prized by collectors. The Revolt Against Wigs.

In the Transvasl a workman whe has been injured in the course of his employment may choose one of we remedies. - He may sue his employer for damages for the injuries sustain ed under the common law or he may claim compensation in the manmer prescribed . by the workman's com pensation act of 1907. If the workman decides to proceed under the common law he be prepared to prove that the emp! r or some servant in his employ has been guilty of negligence. Such neg- ligence must be the direet esuse of the injury. Under the common law the werk- man may claim any amount of dam- ages. Under the Twansvasl Act the workman's claim to compensation in the case of permanent injury result- ing in total disablement ig limited to three years' wages, or $8,660, which- ever is the leas: and ja the case of permanent injury in disablement to the probable deficien- cy in earnings for the Rest three years, or 81,825, -whichewer is the less.
