The Irish drama Is as no other dnama

1t will be well to know good deal

stories of wounded or sham wounded

soldiers who 60 over the field after the

The British are the most humane and
the most successful in handling savage
and barbarous peoples, and they have
been most accused of inhumanities.
The Belgians in the Congo country
have been charged with such atrocities
that it is scarcely to be assumed that
they will join in protest against con-
ditions in TripoR; the Germans in East
Africa have been far less humane than
the British, and the French in their
Niger and Congo possessions have been
rather more severe than either. As to
