doubt, and something of the kind wa
needed. But what struck me was, who j:
to pay for burying the INDECENT Mongol:
in that style? The present campaign
against the Chinese will make INDECENT!
mighty numerous before long, and thos,
who have little money will not want Il
part with it. But the dead must be buried.
