Taking into account the facts that
the South African war has now lasted
for sixteen months, and that over
quarter of a million men have been
employed on our side, thirty-nine Vic
toria Crosses. the number granted up
to the present date. is not excessive,
and it need not be feared that the
value Of the decoration will not be
maintained. During the Russian war,
when the cross was instituted, some
seventy were distributed, and though
this war lasted roughly two years, the
number of British troops engaged was
much smaller than on the present oc-
casion. The Indian mutiny was also
fertile in individual acts of heroism,
for which the cross was awarded. a.
cross was some thirty years ago given
for an act Of galianry IN rescuing
some soldiers from drowning in the
Indian Ocean. This is the only in
stance Of its being earned except under
fire in the presence of the enemy, and
1t is likely to remain SO. = Lon Ion

Abhorrsnt even to the strongest
"Slayophile" Is the position occupied
By woman in the family and in social
life. says q writer In the Outlook To
escape the charge or prejudice, | shall
quote a few proverbs current among
the Southern Slavs-a few out Of many
hundreds:
''The man is the head, the woman IS
grass"
"One man is worth more than ten
women"
"A man Of straw is worth moe than
woman Of gold.
Let the dog bark but let the wom-
an keep silent"
"He who does not beat his wife is
no man."
"What shall I get when I marry p
asks a boy OF his father "For your
wife stick, FOR your children a
switch
"Twice in his life Is n man happy
once when he marries, and once when
he burles his wife"
And the woman sings IN the kuSSlan
folk-song, which l have freely trans
lated:
Love me true and love me quick,
Pull my hair and use the stick"
Although there are love songs Of an
other kind. In which the woman IS
praised for her charms. she becomes
virtually slave as soon as she mar
ries. and the little poetry of the folk
song does not accompany her even to
the marriage altar. She Is valued only
for the work she can do In a household
and for the children she can bear. and,
should this latter blessing be denied
her. her lot becomes douhly pitiable,
and she often seeks release by suicide.
