Thomas ran about good deal, delving into
tenements and pedigrees, judging candi-

and Forbes, like Panurge, had ten ways of
making money and twelve ways of spend

The amazing characteristic about Thomas
was his unaffected modesty, his naturalness,

FEW PERMITS TO OBSERVE WAI
Warning Powers Slow to Allow U. S
Officers at Front.

The prospects are not very bright for OBJ
tanning permits to send many army officers
as observers with armies now engaged
in the European war. England has in
dicated its willingness to permit this gov
ernment to send one officer besides its
military attache. at the United States
legation in London. The other powers
have not been heard from officially, al
though the advices are that all of them
intend to keep the number Of observers
down to a minimum.
The Secretary probably will send gen
erals or colonels to the powers that give
permission for a limited number OF OBJ
servers. Rank is considered necessary to
put an officer in position to collect valu-
able information.
Secretary Garrison says that Unless the
war is long drawn out it will be iInpos-
sible for our military experts To get to
the front and acquire any information OF
value. Surgeon Karl Ohnesorg OF the
Naval Medical Corps is on the U. s. s.
Tennessee taking relief funds to Europe.
