Stanley, the eldest son of Lord Derby,
who is attached to Gen. Smith-Dor-
rein's staff. In review of the opera
tions that followed the German defeat
| on the Marine reference was made to
the readiness of the kaiser's troops to
surrender. and this striking instance
was mentioned:
An officer who was proceeding along
the road in charge of a number of led
horses received information that there
were some of the enemy in the neigh
borhood. Upon seeing them he gave
the order to charge, whereupon three
German officers and 1O6 men surren-
dered.
1t was Lord Stanley who thus bluffea
the Germans with his riderless horses
For the young officer, who could not
have been supported by more than a
mere handful of men, to have exhibited
such pluck and presence of mind in an
emergency is bright augury for his
military future. though quite in keep

Lord Stanley was always to the fore at
athletics, and at knowsley he was "A
splendid shot. He made his first politi-
cal speech at the age of sixteen at
Preston, which his grandfather rep
resented in parliament, and he then
declared that he intended to take
politics seriously" He has also given
