England Yields Territory,

Some folks affect surprise because Great
Britain voluntarily abandoned few is
lands to the republic, called, of Hon.
duras. 1t is a popular but erroneous be-
lief that Great Britain never willingly re-
linquishes sovereignty over any part of
this earth above which she has once raised
her flag. Toward the close Of the first
half of the past century Great Britain
firmly established her rule over what is
now the Orange River Colony. and in 1854
she renounced that sovereignty in spite of
protests from prominent residents of the
territory from which she then withdrew.
In 1880 she ceded to Germany the Island of
Heligoland, taken from Denmark in 1907.
and historically and geographically part of
the Duchy Of Schleswig- -Holstein, which
Prussia took from Denmark. And an En-
glish ministry once proposed to cede Gil

20 years ago and was sentenced to the
pen for a term OF 20 years His crime
Is remembered BY old timers and II
Is also a fact that after he had been
sent to prison II was II years before
he was even made a trusty. Only out

Ger again, and but for his irompt plea
OF guilty, the officers would have learn
ed Of his former career and his SEN

was an old stager, and 70 remarked
at the time, but not knowing what
crime he hstd besn sfnt ap for he could
say nothing
The records Of early times are very

al and selonious assault upon the per-

ticc Of law,
The defendant, by his attorney, stub

Of 20 years
Some talk OF lynching was indulged
In at the time. but the law was al
lowed to take Its course.
