GERMAN GIVEN
ISLAND CHEAP[Y
British Just Naturally Peev-
ed When They Learn Of
Princes Ease.

London, Dec. 10.-One of the
strangest stories that has been given
birth by the great war is that of the
Island of Herm, the leasing Of which
to q German company was recently
discussed in the House of Commons.
British troops are billeted on the
island, but the question is still being
asked. why was England SO lax as to
rent for. song an island larger than
Heligoland, within an hours steaming
of English shores?
Herm is one Of the lesser channel
islands and at one, time supported u
considerable population. 1t is a beau.
tiful spot, with an attractive shell
crewn for $40, year to the "West
Bank Liegnitz Ltd, which in, turn
leased it to Prince BIucher VOL. .Mahl-
staff. a descepdent Of the illustrious
Blucher of Waterloo and himself u
German. The prince and his family
lived quietly for years in the manor
house on the island, incnrring the
great, displeasure Of those who sought
TO ramble over the place by closing all
save one. narrow pathway on the
beach and plastering about many
warnings to trespaSsers.
Children We're born TO the princess
there-she is Of the Russian royal
family-and one Of these, a boy, be-
came a. naturalized British subject. At
no time was the prince suspected, OF
using his home in any operations
against England; but when the war
broke out the matter became one OF
natural agitation eliminating In the
home secretary being asked for an es-
planation by Sir William Bull.
The explanation was brief. The
government knew the name of the
German company holding the lease,
it knew moreover that the rent was
about five shillings six pence a week;
that steps had been taken to cancer
this document. that for some weeks
British troops had been on the island
Whether Prince Blucher and family
had moved from the Manor house was
not made clear. ~
The popular outcry against the
prince. in the opinion of the London
press generally, is unjustified; but the
Times remarks. rather sarcastically
that the public might be told little
more about the German company
which was able to acquire SO cheapiy
80 much good farm and pasture land,
together with numerous cottages, not
to. mention the Manor house. 1t also
ie pointed out that the island is in
the heart of the English channel,
within sight Of the coast Of France,
about 20 miles from Portland and 40
from Cherbourg. It could be used as
submarine base, though nothing of
the kind appears to have been at
tempted. -.

HOLIDAYS FOR THE
MEN AT THE FRONT

Aldershot, Eng. Dec. 1o.-As the
result OF recent orders given by Sir
John French. the families of regular
troops stationed here have been de-
Hghtfully surprised by visits from
relatives direct from the 'front.' These
men are given leave from the trench
es and most of them elect to spent
the time with their families.
Wives of sergeant majors, who
despaired OF seeing their husbands be-
fore the end Of the war, have peen
surprised by the receipt Of kilograms
from seaports informing them Of the
home coming. These husbands arrive
looking as spick as. span as when
they marched away To the war, Tor
the men are selected from the regi-
ments which have tbeen moved to the
rear Of the battle .line to give the SOL
diers 9, chance to clean up and re-
ceive; fresh; uniforms. 1t lis expected
that later whole. units will be given
holidays and. the soldier in the
trenches, according to one officer just
returned from he@front, has no roster

OFFICERS FEW
IN SERB ARMY

Nish, servia. Dec. 10.-There is q
shortage of officers in the Servian
army, due not only to the severe loss
es sustained in the earlier battles Of
the campaign, but also to the losses Of
the two Balkan wars. The gaps have
proved source of considerable EN-.
barrassment to the army chiefs, and
number of youthful cadets from the
military college have now been given
commissions and sent to the front.
Another matter of serious concern
IN army circles is the difficulty of car
Ing properly for the wounded, who are
being sent into the interior towns as
rapidly as possible. Although there
are number of Red Cross units from
foreign countries on the ground, there
Is still shortage of trained help, and
q still more serious shortage OF drugs
and of surgical and hygienic appii-
iances.
