After McCombs went to New York
to establish himself in law he natu-

cording to Tom Reeds definition that
no man is a gentleman who weighs
over 200 pounds, that New York apart

weighed 130 pounds more than a gen.

Italian engineers have finished what
may be called an irrigation survey Of
Western Tripoh They report that
three-quarters Of the 10000 square
miles lying between the mountains
and the coast can be watered from
wells. Some wells drilled on this sur
vey are free flowing; in others the
water must be pumped, At present
this land bears about one crop in
four years. With irrigation and ltal-
ian peasants to manage the soil it will
bear not less than two crops per year
Farther east where the mountains
sink to desert level and disappear in
sand dunes, rainfall is less. and prob
lens Of irrigation are not so easy to
solve, Still farther in the same direc-
tion, in Cyrenaica, another mountain
chain rises, and with the hills come
life-giving rains. There is a hole in

Greek colonists used to say. II Italy

who kept a store on Seventh street,

into small holdings. The Murphy place

INCIDENTS. OF WAR RECALLED
Rapid Rise Of Judson Fitzpatrick From
Lieutenant TO Major General
Wanted to scout.


Thomas ]. Taylor was a member Of
Colonel Duryea's Fifth New York
regiment and is one Of the few sur
vlyors OF the battle OF Big Bethel
known to be now in Chicago. AT the
beginning of the war he lad oppor-
tunity TO see a young soldier just out

and soon afterward as colonel, then
began the career that in four years
brought him the title OF major general

said Mr.. Taylor. He was a lively
man with sharp features and reddish
hair, and at Camp Hampton he was
always wanting TO go out on raids.
lie was continually bothering the col
onel for permission to go scouting, as
the colonel complained. Sometimes
he would get permission and then he
would go out with a few men and
gather up some OF the wild zazor
backed hogs that ran In the woods
about Camp Hampton. In the battle
of Big Bethel he was wounded and
left the regiment, and the next we
saw OF him was farther south, Just
before he became a brigadier general.
The last time | saw him was at Chan
cellorsville. Our colonel halted US as
we met Colonel fitzpatrick, and the
regiment cheered him.
Among the prisoners that we took
at Charlottesville there was one that
| shall never forget. Most Of them
passed with bowed heads and eyes
downcast, but this one held his head
up. The crown was gone from his hat
and his hair stuck up through the
hole and he was in great good humor.
Anybody could see that he was an
Irishman.

Mules in Army Service

ment. According TO this report the
total weight OF supplies and imped-
menta that must be carried with an
army division OF 10000 men is 2,SS3,-
600 pounds, or a full load for 96l OF
such army wagons as are now used.
These figures in road space alone
show that there is a great waste with
present methods. That number OF
wagons require a space of approxi'
mately eleven miles on a twenty-yard
road, a column that is vastly too large
to be economically handled. And be-
sides, with eleven miles OF wagons
occupying the roads, there is no space
left. unless II is before or behind the
column. for the troops.
with mule and wagon transporta-
tion the troops are confined to a
movement OF only tbout "a miles per
day. for this is the limit Of distance
which mules or horses can cover IN
a day without injury, An army can
not move faster than its supplies
therefore. the men can go no further
I'm a day than the teams can haul the
wagons, though thlrty-hve to forty
miles per day is not considered a
prohlbitive distance for soldiers on
the march.
with truck transportation this
handicap is entirely eliminated. Not
only can the supplies be moved with
one.half to four-hfths fewer vehicles
for a motor truck will carry from two
to FIVE times as large a load as a
mule wagon-thereby working a great
economy in road space. but the truck
can travel at a vastly greater speed
than the men. Where three to I'VE
miles an hour Is considered good

William F. McCombs Is Very Partial to Big Men

men of the white hope caliber when 1t
comes to size and strength. When
he was an undergraduate at Prince
ton his tastes were decidedly literary.
He was the manager Of the college
daily and an editor of the Nassau Lit
erary Magazine. His chums, however,
were more identified with the athletic
side of the campus life, and their lit
erary tastes centered about the sport
ing pages Of the big dailies.

When McCombs left Princeton to en-
ter the Harvard Law school none OF
his athletic friends went up to Cam

course with the man who had
broken all the strength records Of Har-
