He reached Minorca after the French had got there._ His second in com- mand. Rear Admiral West, drove them back. while Byng kept his ships out of action. In aday. or two he sailed to Gibraltar, leaving Minorca to its fate. He was tried for treachery and cow- ardice, but acquitted; The court mar- tial convicted him of not havingidone his best to relieve the island. and un-_ . `der the application of article 12 of the ' British naval code of , those days he was_condemned to be shot. a The-min- ` lsters took him as a scapegoat. and he : was shot on the quarter deck of his own agship. the Monarque. in Ports- mouth harbor on'_ March 14. 1757.` ' A Test That caught.

The socialist sheet called Citizen and `Country should be placed on the list of papers that are denied circulation in this country. In a late issue it says :- There is blood upon -the skirts of those who have withheld their protest against a war that has so brutally broken the ties of home and kinship and good fellowship, as well as of those who have directly cccaaioned the war and have openly sanctioned it." Does the editor of that paper not know that the Boers are the offensive party and the British the defensive? Citizen and Country's doctrine carried into prac- tice would divide up Great Britain and her colonies among foreign nations, to which no resistance should be offered. The Boers long ago smote Britain's both cheeks but `it is the death-blow that Britain is resisting now. It is no won- der that sample copies of ' Citizen and Country are numerous. HEW!)
