BIunders of officials.
London, July 27.-The drinking places
on the Strand yesterday evening were
filed with members of the imperial
yeomanry, who -astonished their friends
by throwing their war medals upon the

explanation of their anger the yeomen
alleged the government was in arrears
in their pay and referred to the blum
derS of officials. One yeoman said:
Our names are misspelled and our
rank and command are wrong in six
out of ten cases. We supposed the
medals would be worth something to
our friends and posterity, but mine is
not worth anything but to chuck
away"
The example of this man was COL
lowed by many others.
