While the Daily Naos deson nces the “savage butrage on human decency" the Wezminster Gazélie learns with dismay that the mantle of military authority will be spread to reprisals." It is noteworthy that the Radical Manchester Guardian describes the barn ings as an "entirely new and a much more creditable procedure, admitted ly rough and ready but at least not indiscriminate and carried out openly by authority. "It adds": "It shows what can be done by a man of character who means to be obeyed, and if the same method were persisted in and punishment inflicted only where it was ordered and belived to be deserved the word reprisals will acquire a new meaning and the horrible scandals attaching to It will end":
