only is the honorific awarded to him, but is to be used by all
his sons and by their sons. We might imagine that a man would
shrink from permanently calling himself Brave John Smith,
especially if he has been very brave, but the average Magyar

[Footnote 36: The Czechs believe that Agrarian Reform should be
the work of a generation. They are beginning on the very large
estates, those which run to more than 50,000 hectares, and in
calculating the price to be paid, 40 per cent. is deducted for
the State on properties of this size. On those of between

the proprietor is not using manure and that thus the State is
suffering injury, a dozen men, belonging to the various
political parties, go down to investigate. If they find that
the accusation is not justified and that the place is
satisfactorily worked, then the man who made the charge is
obliged to pay the examining committee's expenses.]

[vS]ibenik ladies and men, relying perhaps on the words of
Admiral Millo with regard to Allied colours, never dreamed that
any objection would be made. But suddenly one evening everybody
with these colours was attacked by Italian soldiers, who tore
them off and explained that it was done by the General's order.
Italian officers did not interfere while ladies were being very
roughly handled. A certain Jakovljevi['c], a shopkeeper, who
had sold an American flag, was imprisoned. On the same evening
a number of prominent citizens were summoned before the town
commandant, Colonel Cappone, who spoke as follows: "A Croat, a
Croat has dared to display a flag before an ardito
