sCTiplon 10 G,l Soldiers.

London, March S-The new army regu-
lations proposed by the war secretary.
Mr.. Brodrick, providing for increased pay
and other reforms, which have created
so much comment, appear to have been
directly copied from the United States
Major Arthur Lee, member of parliament
for the Fareham division of Hampshire
and formerly British military attache at
Washington, said to a representative OF
The Associated Press:
At last we have taken out a leaf from
your excellent book, though / do not be-
lieve we have gone quite so far i'm that
direction as we might. or hope we may.
Under Mr.. Brodrlck's proposed changes
a private i'm the British Infantry now
receives almost as much as a private in
the United states army. With, this
change which ! frequently advocated,
while military attache at Washington. We
hope to get class of recruits similar to
those secured I'm America.
Under the old pay we were gradually
lowering the physical standard, yet still
finding il hard 10 get men, while our de-
sertion percentage was increasing at u
rate which showed there was something
radically wrong with the system. The
American army was the only other vol
unfairly enlisted body i'm the world with
which we could make serYiceable COM
parisons, the continental armies. owing
TO conscription and other causes being
perfectly worthless examples.
A year ago Mr. Brodrick poo-poohed
the idea of copying the United States.
Now he has changed his mind and has
done what the majority OF the members
of the house, regardless of party, believe
10 be the very best thing that could have
happened TO the army since Mr.. Gard

forms. For the first time Tommy" with
everything found and higher pay will be
in a better position than his agricultural
brother, and from that class we ought
now 10 get the best instead of the worst.
Yes. IL may hurt the agricultural inter
est, or what is left of II in England. But
| do not believe that this damage will be
as serious as wSe evils which the change
will correct. Not only Is il interesting
TO note the influence Of the American sys-
tenn i'm those sweeping changes. but, they
will have tremendous negative import

indicated it's fears that II might have

The present move banishes all pos
sibiity for this, for, / understand, Mr..
Brodrick is willing to go even further in
copying the United States excellent treat
ment of enlisted men. and by liberal fin
ance build up the standard of the army.
The increase in pay means an additional
cost of about f2,0oo0o0; but, l maintain
that il will be a direct saving OF money,
for the better class of men secured VIII
mean fewer men in the hospitals and

How Prince HenTy's Visit Was
Seen Through English Eyes.

London, March S.-The editorial sar-
casm with which so many of the London
papers commented on Prince Henry's
visit TO the United States was to no
small extent suggested and fostered by
the ill-natured kilograms of their special
correspondents in America. With but few
exceptions those correspondents who re-
tailed Prince Henry's doings for English
consumption did so only with an eye to
the ridiculous.
They magnihed every outburst of hu-
nor or minor contre-temps into
gauge of national feeling or Characteristic

of Mrs. Campbell's talk was an argu-
ment for the work of hand and brain to-
gethcr In the most refined and logical
language the speaker dwelt upon the
thought OF this need taking hold on the
home and child training and general ed
ucation and working out into life as a
whole. In short a reconstruction or rather
return of the happiness In work that
belongs to the arts and crafts of the mid
de ages. The same plea, the speaker de-
clared, was made by Ruskin and Morris
and now again in the thought of the new
education"
Mrs. Campbell made a most urgent plea
for the development OF the arts and crafts
movement. believing that i'm the strength
OF this development lay the solution OF the
complexities OF our rushing, hustling and
unsatisfactory modern life of today
A return TO the simplicity of living so
that the soul may have chance TO grow,
the elimination OF over luxury
when the insanity OF overluxury shall
have passed, as IL will" said the speaker.
I'VE shall come back to beauty through
the arts and crafts movement.
This is coming TO us as the foundation
of the new education.
This is something 10 work for; more
tangible, more positive, more helpful,
more constructive. more certain TO bring
happiness than anything else and after
ALL what the world is starving for is more
happiness
There must come time when we must
go on with our might building with this
thought that every child born into the
world is entitled 10 this training o: arts
and crafts, the hand and the mead; the
hand, the tool OF the brain"
Mrs. Campbell closed with that beauti-
full thought OF Matthew Arnold. that the
world Is nearing the time when there
will he open eyes all at once, and the
possibilities of life revealed as one COM
mon thought and joy, Nfting the world
again.
At the close OF the most delightful talk
luncheon followed, after which toasts
were responded 10 by Mrs Theodore Fos-
ter and Miss Marlatt.

Clara Morris's Book.

London, March s--From the retirement
of her country home. Mary Anderson
(Mrs. Antonio de Navarro), has written
a striking preface TO Clara Morris Life
on the Stage" which is on the eve Of
publication in England. In a glowing
tribute to the American actress, Mary
Anderson declares, "She was the greatest
emotional actress ever saw" and adds
the significant warning to stage struck
girls:
II hope she who writes this work will
help TO stem the tide OF girls who so
blindly rush into profession of which
they are ignorant for which they are un-
fitted and In which dangers unnumbered
lurk on all sides. II with Clara Morris
power and charm so much had 10 be suf-
fered, what is. what must be the lot OF
so many mediocrities who nass through
