There were few Germans to be seen, ' and most of these crouched dazed I I l and helpless, with hands over their . heads. They were promptly seized, _ bundled over the parapet, and told by word or gesture to be on. They f waited for no second bidding, but ran I I I 3 I I l l with heads stooped and hands above their heads straight to the British line, one or two men doubling after them as guards. Some of the pris- q oners were struck down by their own guns’ shellfire, and these were just . as promptly grabbed by the stretcher- bearers and hurried in under cover. My warning is intended very earn- ‘ estly, because I foresee in this move- ment nothing but ruir for South . Africa and disastrous consequences : for the South African people. I ap- peal above all to our )ioneers and the . fathers of our peOple to follow the safe way of honor, along which a great future awaits us.” ! Boyd Cable Draws a Vivid Word f Picture. f The picture of a night attack ex- iecuted by the English on a German §trench in France is drawn in The { Cornhiil Magazine, JY Boyd Cable: ' “The hour chosen for the raid was i just about dusk. [here was no extra- {special preparation immediately be- ‘ fore it. The guns continued to pour : in their fire, speeding it up a little, '1 perhaps, but no more“ than they had I done a score of times in the last y» twenty-four hours. The infantry fclambered out of their trench and ' flied out through the narrow open- iings in their own Wire entangle- I ments. “Up and down the selected area of front-line trench the raiders spread rapidly. There were several dug-outs under the parapet, and from these gray-coated figures crawled with their hands up on the first summons to surrender. These, too, were bundled over the parapet. If a shot came from the black mouth of the dug-out in answer to the call to sur- render, it was promptly bombed. At either end of the area of front line marked out as the limits of the raid strong parties made a block and beat ofl the feeble attacks that were made on them.” A grave warning against prepaâ€" ganda aiming at the political inde- pendence of South Africa has just been issued broadcast by General Botha. His statement follows: “Members of the South African party must not allow themselves to be misled by false and misleading propaganda for independence. The proposal is now being made merely to win votes at the Provincial Coun- cil elections by an appeal to senti- ment, and not to the sound sense or the people. The proposal is wholly impractic- able, and is moreover very danger- ous, for in the present war conditions it can only lead to bitterness, divi- sion, race hatred, and even civil war. There is in South Africa a strong English population whose Mother- land is now engaged in a life and death struggle. It is not surprising that they regard this movement as treasonable and disloyal. It is un- just and dishonorable to make such an attempt at this moment, and the “But at the attacking point the infantry were almost across when the storm burst, and the shells for the most part struck down harmless- ly behind them. The men were into the fragments of broken wire, and the shattered parapet loomed up under their hands a minute after the first shell burst. Up to this they had advanced in silence, but now they gave tongue and with wild yelrls leaped at the low parapet, scrambled over and down into the trench. Be- hind them a few forms twisted and sprawled on the broken ground, but they were no sooner down than run- ning stretcher bearers pounced on them, Lifted and bore them back to the shelter of their own lines. dishonor is all the greater as the pro- posal is only intended to catch votes for a particular partt' "Men gulped in their throats or drew long breaths of apprehension that this was the beginning of dis- covery of their presence in the Open, the first of the storm they knew would quickly follow. But there were no more shells for the moment, and the rattle of machine gun fire diminished and tr: bullets piped thinner and more distant as the gun muzzle swept around. The infantry hurried on, thankful for every yard made in safety. The log of the wireless operator of the British trawler Floandi, which was sunk in the Adriatic Sea when Austrian cruisers attacked a fleet of mine drifters, has been placed on ex- hibition in the London National War Museum. It contains the entry which the wireless operator, Douglas M. Harris, was making at the mo- ment when he was killed by a shrap- nel bullet. Harris had continued to send and. receive messages while the trawler was being riddled by shells. "For'a minute or two there was no change in the sound of battle. The thunder of the guns continued stead- ily, a burst of rifle or machine gun fire crackled as spasmodically. "Out in front a faint whistle cut across the roar of fire. ‘They’re off,’ said the forward officer into his ’phone, and a moment later a dis- tinct change in the note of sound of the overhead shells told that the fire had lifted, that the shells were pass- ing higher above his head, to fall fur- ther back in the enemy trenches and leave clear the stretch into which the infantry would soon be pushing. As illustrating the decline which has taken place in the ostrich indus- try in South Africa it is interesting to note that, according to the re- sults of an official census, the number of birds ”in the union has fallen from 746,657 and 776,268 in 1911 and 1913 reSpectively to 399,010 in 1916. Decline in Ostrich Industry. RAID BY SHELL LIGHT. Botha “'arns Traitors. A Heroic Sailor. Actual official reports tell how po- licewomen wished to test their power to enter private housesâ€"otherwise, to break the law of trespass. They entered a house where the mistress, whose husband was absent, was en- tertaining a man friend. The latter was at once dismissed. A little later a second false entry was made, when the man was again found on the premises, and again sent about his business. How can the Women’ 3 Police Service succeed if members are confessedly guilty of illegal ac- tions, it they infringe the law of tres- pass with impunity, if they tyrannize over other women’s personal rights and privacy not even according to the letter of the law? In patrol work, too, women tend to Oppress where they were meant to help. Early in the war an order was made at Cardiffâ€"by the mili- tary, I thinkâ€"enabling the police to order any woman to remain indoors between certain hours of the day, an order which naturally kept most wo- men at home at such times. The order was entirely illegal, and when brought to the notice of the War Of- fice, regret was expressed at there having been any attempt to enforce it. Yet despite the Cardiff incident the same iniquitous order has been enforced elsewhere by the women police. In one town after it was brought into action women officials reported having patrolled the streets, visited picture palaces, and such places during the stated hours, and found all parts quite free of women and girls. At present a petition is being pre- p‘ared asking the Lon-don County Council to provide largely increased numbers of women police and pat- rols to deal with the “parks’ evil.” Copies of it were in most metropoli- tan places of worship, and the petition was signed by many peoâ€" ple who know absolutely nothing of either the “parks’ evil” or of the women’s police service. The attitude of such signatories is fairly repre- sented by a woman who, after telling me that she had signed the petition, naively added: “I don’t know what it is about, but I always sign that sort of thing!” Policewomen have done things which, as a high police officer said lately, would have meant more than a reprimand for a policeman. They have been and are guilty of enforcing illegal restrictions upon the public, especially where women are con- cerned, and it is hard to protest against such things from the wo- man’s standpoint, since the inevit- able answer to such piotests is this wise: ”But the action of which you complain was taken by you women! It is the women alone who were re- sponsible for this or that which was done!" Policewomen will not work mir- acles in a moment where male police have more or less failed for years past. The only women who can touch the realities of such evils are those few saints who “without fear of reward” have long dedicated their lives to the Magdalen of the metro- Dolls, women who hear the call of sisterhood too keenly to play the part of spy, women with whom the love of humanity comes before the love of exercising authority. But policewomen as a body have been unable to maintain these aims in face of the tempting bait of petty officialdom, and all over the land all sorts of people give concrete ex- amples of the mistaken methods adopted by the women in blue. Miss Nina Boyle, the prominent publicist, who inaugurated the wo- men police after being forced by pressure or work to put the manage- ment into other hands, severed all connection on account of“ the W0- men’s Police Service adopting the very methods it was created to sup- press. The idea in having policewo- men was to have a body of sympathe- tic women trained specially to under- stand and to guard the general inter- ests of women and girls, women whose heart interest would be to fur- ther the welfare of their sex, and who would use their powers to pre- vent petty tyranization over women in the workshop, the home, and else- Where. Policewomen have more than failedâ€"‘-they have done wrong. They have sown harmful seed instead of good, and it is springing up 3.11 over the country. XACTLY why the Birkenhead F4 policewomen resigned is per- haps known only to them- selves, but the appearance of an announcement to that effect in daily papers led many peOpl-e to won- der if the women’s policeservice had achieved the unmitigated success of which they had been told, writes iida M. K. Nield in The London Woekly Despatch. It is a fact that the short history of the service con- tains many records of resignations, and not those of unsuitable women only; many women have resigned more or less in protest. The employees of the Robinson Gold Mine, South Africa, contributed to the end of 1916 the total of £4,707 78. 2d. to the war funds, which has been allocated month by month as follows: Prince of Wales’ Fund, £642 18s 7d; Governor- G-e’nerals Fund, £2, 461 16s 5d; and Belgian Widows’ and Orphans’ Fund, £1, 602 128 2d. ooooooooo ooooooooooovoavo (u.oo.oo.u.oo.oo.oo.~.n.«.n.~.~.«.~.«.¢o‘«.o..o¢.o~.¢~‘oo.n.od:o Women As Police Force A failure in England, And a Writer Teifs Why . .

There were Dutch and French edi- tions of this pamphlet, the French edition being edited, it was said, by the Indian National Party. An Ara- bic pamphlet had a flaming red star and crescent on the cover. Another dealt With alleged British atrocities. “But neither is that the fear of death. It is a repulsion which breeds hot anger more often than cold fear, reckless hatred of life more often than abject clinging to it. The casesk where any sort of fear, even for a moment, obtains the mastery of a man are very rare.” . “But you can’t call-this the fear of death. It is a purely physical reac- tion of danger and detonation. Per- sonally, I believe that very few men indeed fear death. The vast major- ity experience a more or less violent physical shrinkage from the pain of death and wounds, especially when they are obliged to be physically in- active, and when they have nothing else to think about. But this is a purely physical reaction, which can be, and nearly always is, controlled by the mind. Last of all there is the repulsion and loathing for the whole business of war, with its bloody ruthâ€" lessness, its fiendish ingenuity, and its insensate cruelty that comes to a man after a battle, when the tortured and dismembered dead lie strewn about the trench, and the wounded groan from No-Man’s Land. In Dorsetshire, England, there has been established a “Republic” called the “Little Commonwealth," which has its own coinage and which is used as a reformatory for youngsters from two years of age upward. The experiment has proved a success. The children sent down there from metropolitan police courts to reform earned eight to nine cents an hour, out of which they paid $2.7 5 a week for board and lodgings. The repub- lic has been recognized by the home office as a certified reformatory. A pamphlet in French and Span- 1511 entitled “England’s Rule in In- dia, ” was intended for circulation as far afield as Bolivia, it was said. “meat in India. India has planted 2,590,000 more acres for wheat this year than last, or an increase of 8.6 per cent. from 30,255,000 acres in 1916-16 to 82,- 845,000 in 1916-17. Over 16,000 ex-employea of the Midland Railway Company and over 14,000 from the North-Eastern Rail- way Company are 1181111118 in the British army. Oflicial returns show that 31,333 whites and. 288,419 colored are on- med in mining throughout the South African Union. “The fact is that at the moment of a charge men are in an absolutely abnormal condition. Their emotions seem to be numbed. Noises, sights, and sensations which would ordinar- ily produce intense pity, horror, or dread have no effect upon them at all, and yet never was the mind clearer, the senses more acute. It is before an attack that a man is more liable to fear. Of all the hours of dismay that come to a soldier there are few more trying to the nerves than when he is sitting in a trench under heavy fire from high- explosive shells or bombs from trench mortars. “You can watch these bombs lob- bed up into the air. You see them slowly wabble down to earth there to explode with a terrific detonation that sets every nerve in your body a- jangling. You can do nothing. You cannot retaliate in any way. You simply have to sit tight and hope for the best. Some men joke and smile; but their mirth is forced. Some feign stoical indifference, and sit with a paper and a pipe, but as a rule their pipes are out and their reading a pretense. There are few men, indeed, whose hearts are not beating faster and whose nerves are not on edge. Most Trying Time is That Before 1‘ Charge “Over the‘TOp. ” Everybody “011d rs vhat are the sensations and emotions of the indiv- idual soldier as he u ails in the. front. line trench for the order to charge and as he rushes across the death- swept zone toward the enemy. Does he think of the chance of death? Is he physically afraid? Does. he shrink from the necessity of facing and inâ€" flicting death? Donald Hankey, the Englishman who wrote so frankly and interestingly of the soldier’s ex- periences at the front in "A Student in Arms,” considers this matter in one of the articles in the new vol- ume, “A Student in Arms, Second Series.” Mr. Hankey spent nearly the Whole of two years at the front in the trenches and in the support- ing lines, and was killed in action at the battle of the Somme.
