A few years later the law became
more stringent still. Philip and Mary
compelled attention not only by fines,
but went so far as to send offenders TO

Most Ponular War Cry.

The most popular war cry is "Hur.
rah !" an exclamation of indefinite
origin. 1t Is found In various forms In
Swedish and Danish (hurra), German
(hurrah), French (houra), Russian
(urn). Some connect It with such
words as hurry" "whlrl;" the mean.
ing would then be haste" to encour.
age speed or onset in battle. The
Russian soldiers adopted "hurrah" In
the War Of Liberation (1S12-13), and
since then It has become fayOrlte
battle cry all over Europe. II seems,
however, that the word Is pure Sla.
Yonan, for II IS commonly heard from
the coast of Dalmatia to Behrng strait,
where any of the Slavic population
within the limits are called on to give
proof Of courage and valor.
