01110RE NEN WANTED i" THE
CRY OF GENERALS.
John Bull .Always Goes Into a
War in an Tlnprelnared
Fashion,
Fi ons Somaliland has come the
usual cry for "Vlore men," which al-
ways makes itself heard whenever
John 13u11 engages in any warlike
operations; aad it is officially an-
nounced that General Manning is to
flet Strictly on the defensive instead
of chasing the savage foe.
It is ludicrous now to look back
upon the tea-party of 1901, when
a tiny force of no more than one
thousand five hundred men chased
the Mad Mullah out of British into
Italian territory, and then was re-
called, under tho impression that its
work was done. At this present
writing, it seems that the smashing
of the Mullah would have been one
of the most serious "little wars"
which Great Britain had ever under-
taken.
'Twas ever thus. John Bull al -
nays thinks .he is going to found
3'mpires with a corporal's guard. Ile
strolls into a war in the most ease -1
ll and unprepared fashion, and the
usual outcome is a swift and sudden'
disaster, with the usual sequel of a
try for "more men." It is unneces-
sary to do more than allude to the
listoric instance of the South Afri-
can War, when the "fifty thousand
corse and foot going to Table Bay"
Ixpected their work to be over in
three months, The event proved
;hat nearly three hundred troops had
ell their 'cork out out to get it
lone in three years.
THE 'LULU WAR
fives a very good instance of this
easy-going temper on the part of
Iohn Bull. The terrible disaster of
lsandlwana gave England a nasty
shock, when a British camp was
rushed by the Zulu impis and the
troops annihilated. Five hundred
men and thirty officers were among
the slain, including Colonel Pulling,
Major White and Colonel Durnford,
R. E. Moreover, the dusky foe got
away with one hundred and two
wagons, one thousand oxen, and two
guns, besides one thousand rifles and
o large stock of stores and ammuni-
tion,
Inquiry showed that the disaster
aright have been averted by the use
of cavalry, which had been pressing-
ly sought for by the conunamder-in-
ahiet, Lord Chelmsford, and Sir
Bartle Frero. Of course, as soon as
the steed was stolen, the home au-
thorities made haste to shut the
stable door; and eight thousand
more troops were hurried out in the
course of a week or so, later follow-
ed by the 17th Lancers, who were to
rain glory on the decisive field of
illundf,
Sir John Tennicl, with his usual
aptness in grasping and giving pic-
torial point to a situation, depicted
a stalwart Zulu at the blackboard,
lecturing John Bull on the text:
"Despise not your enemy."
To despise his enemy was ever a
pet weakness of the Britisher; and
commanders in the field have had to
urgently appeal for reinforcements to
the home authorities ever since the
days of Wellington in Portugal. Dur-
ing the first Ashanti War, the coma
wander -in -chief (now Lord Wolseley)

en the pressing need for "more
men." However, Mr, Cardwell, the
'hon War Minister, apparently deem-
ed, with Shakespeare's "Henry V.,"
the "fewer men, the greater share of
glory" ; for the general's appeal was
but grudgingly responded to.
The same drama was played in tho
Soudan in 1885. It needed the fall
of Khartoum and the death of the
heroic Gordon to awaken John Bull
to the seriousness of the situation.
A vote of censure was moved in both
Houses of Parliament on the, Minis-
try then in power; being defeated in
the Commons, though it passed the
Upper Chamber by a substantial
lnajority. Soon afterwards the
Grenadiers embarked at Gravesend
for the seat of war, and other troops
were speedily sent out. Later, the
New South Wales contingent sailed,
this being the first time a Colony
had sent troops to help the Mother
Country at its own expense.
But the happy-go-lucky Briton may
console himself with the fact that ho

Other nations -Franco and Spain,

mistake in underestimating the pow-
er and resources of those opposed to

THE MEN WHO HAVE RULED

The 0brenovitch Family Were
Kings lfor Nearly One
Hundred Years.
The Kingdom of Sorvia, in which
in ono Shlort swift hour a few nights
ago a dynasty was extinguished for-
ever and the stage swept clean for
the coming of a now regime, is in
the center of the corer -troubled Bal-
kans. The blue Danube bounds the
little kingdom on tho north, and
separates it from Austria-l:Ilunge y;
to the west, between Service and the

to the south is Turkey, Servia's tra-
ditional foe. Hers live about 2,-

hot blood and whose semi -non-ac-
ceptance of the conventions of mod-
ern European civilization could
scarcely be more viv[dly illustrated
than in the tragedy that was play-
ed recently in the palace at Bel-
grade,
The little kingdom has always
been the center of plots and count-
erplots, violence, and intrigue,
hboddsbled Slid oppressioll. For cen-
turies it was a Turkish province,
with all that that means in the way
of tyranny and the systematic blot-
ting out of national life. Christ-
ians have suffered there from out-
rages which make the recent trou-
bles in Macedon'Ia trifling. The
main industry is swineherding, and
the condition of society has been
vividly suggestod many tinges lately
in descriptions of Ring Milan, King
Adex;aalder's father, or of Queen Dra-
ge, ;'Sten it was said that they wero
considered dissolute even in such a
co'tnitly as Serlia. These facts
should be kept in mind in viewing
the recent tragedy there., and it
dliOiYd be remembered that the word

a monarch of all the Russians to
a Polynesian chief.
A VIOLENT MAN.
The Rarageorgevitdh fanvlly, fn
whose interests the late massacre at
I3e}gracle was brought about, dates
its power from Kara George, or
Black George, who, in 1804, after
th'o massacre by the Janissaries,
headed a revolution. against the
Turks, Ile was the son of a peas-
ant, and it was told of hint that in
the revolution of 1787, when Ito was
fleeing from the Turks, and the Riv-
er Savo proved too much for the old
nlau's strength, end he refused to
go 011, Black tleorge shot his father
dead rather than have him fall into
the hands of the Turks. When he
was almost as leader he reminded his
followers of his violent character,

"During the summer of 1901, I

the best of it is, I have had no
