According to a writer, the American
Rhodes scholars at Oxford present an
Interesting contrast to their English
fellow-students. AS to their relative
scholarship, he found the Englishmen
to be the much better informed Of the
two, though on fewer subjects. They
were much more thorough classicists,
much better read in all literatures and
in the newspapers. The American
students had pursued more subjects,
science especially, but, as rule, had
not gone deep enough into anything to
get q firm hold on it.

San Diego. Cal, July "a. ~ They buried
the Bennington's dead SundayN OF
them-in q common grave. On the crest
Of the, promontory of Iona, high above
the shimmering water Of San Diego bay
on the one side, and within sound OF the
booming surf of the Pacific on the other,
they were laid to rest in the peaceful lit
tie military burying ground. Without
the crash of drum or the sound Of brass,
without pomp or parade, yet with sim.
pie impressiveness, all honor was paid
the nations dead. Promptly ct noon the
long line of vehicles began the long jour.
ney around the bay to the burial place,
ten miles away. Owing to the steep hills
and rough roads it was found impracti-
cable to use hearses or even dead
wagons, and the bodies were stacked in
heavy express wagons and other ordi-
nary vehicles. From noon until three
o'clock these dead-burdened wagons
toiled toward the burial grounds, and
not until almost half-past four was the
last casket placed in the rock-ribbed
trench. The deep trench in which the
bodies were placed in two rows, feet to
feet, is 60 feet long and IA feet wide 1t
was finished but few minutes before the
arrival of the first load OF bodies.
Without a moments delay, the work of
lifting the collins from the wagons and
ranging them in the trench was carried
on. A board was placed at the head of
each, properly marked and numbered.
In just one hour and Is minutes the last
body had been deposited in the trench.
