the British rmies in the Boer War.
The Beers were hardy fighters and
gave the English all the trouble they
wanted. but finally KitchenCr was
able TO vanquish them and restore
peace. For his services in Egypt and
South Africa. he was literally re-
warded by Parliament
"Then what did he do?" lsked Joe
Went TO India as Commander-in-
Chief of the army there. He was in
India seven years. There was com
paratively little fighting during that
time, but on the other hand. Kitchen
er had the opportunity to improve the
government there ana to reorganize
the British army. You see. boys the
| things that Kitchener did we're con-
structive in nature; do YOU remember
the difference between constructive
and destructive? / explained It to

Yes" said the boys.
Afterwards Kitchener was in Lon
don and was being mentioned as pos
sibly the new Viceroy Of India when
the great war broke out In Europe
and he was Immediately placed in
charge of the war office. He set about
raising an army great enough to fight
for Great Britain against the perfect
organization and tremendous armies
Of Germany You see. all the great
powers had compulsory military SER
vice, except England All they had
to do was to order their men to re-
port Kitchener had to get the con-
sent of Englishmen to serve under the
colors; he couldn't merely give or
ders and have an army to fight with.
Yet within a year after the outbreak

It is not generally known that the three strips of color that make up the French national hag are not equal in width. When the tricolof was first authorized. 1792. the positions and proportions of. the three colors were not stated. and such . variety of flags was seen that two years later the na- tional assembly declared that the na- tional standard should be formed of "the three national colors in equal bands placed vertically, the hoist be- ing blue, the middle white and the fly red
 { For years the flag was made in this way; but, though the bands were equal. they never looked equal owing to an optical Illusion, the blue appear ing wider than the vi bite and the whits wider than the red.
 At last, after, many experiments, it was officially decided that in every hundred parts the blue should be thir- N, white thirty-three and red thirty Deven.- Pittsburgh Press.
