Brigadier General Frederick Funston

AS THEY SAY IN ENGLAND.
British Tourists in America Are AS
tonished at Our pronunciation
of Names.

"Since arriving in the United States
have been greatly astonished at
the way you pronounce proper
Names" said Mr.. John II. Hanson, a
tourist from understood, England,
according to the Washington Post.
For example, this very hotel at
which / am stopping (the Raleigh) is
given a pronunciation that sounds
barbarous to my ears. You call it
as though it were spelled 'Rawley.'
Now that is positively incorrect, for
the great Englishman in whose honor
it was no doubt named is known now
and has always been known, with us,
as though his name were spelled
Rally.
II can't criticise your pronuncia-
ton of such words as Potomac but
in England year beautiful river has
ever been call,d the Potomac, with
the accent on the last syllable. 1t is
an Indian word, l believe, and you
have the right to place the emphasis
on any syllable you like, although it
seems to me that our way of pro-
nouncing it gives far more strength
and dignity to the name"

built on American trucks The labor
employed was Formosan and Japan

direction of French, English and
American engineers. The rate of
wages paid per day to the machinists
and laborers furnish an interesting
