To me he has appeared as a very

orator and leader. He has appeared
to me as not only the greatest Of Eng

grand old man. Among the English
statesmen since 1880. or earlier, he
seems to me the nonpariel of all. He
has had really no equal Or rival in
a half century or more. He was
wOndrOuSly read and informed and
cultured. In his prime he was proba-
bly, with John Bright, the two greatest
va1ors that Great Britain has had in
the last seventy-five years or longer.
He lived to an advanced age-about
eighty-nine years if l recall the length
correctly. When he celebrated his
eighty-seventh birthday, I remember
that he received great hOnors both at
home and abroad. Men of other ma

First Lieutenant Benjamin A. Lewis
of the U. S. marine corps left last ev-
ening for Chicago in company with
three recruits he enlisted here during

While the marines have been re
moved from warships by the presi

the agitation now afoot will lead to
their return to their former estate a,
no distant date.
Lieutenant Lewis has had an inter
esting career in the service, having
gone around the horn with Admira
Evans. Two weeks ago he was de
