LED CHARGE UNDER FIRE
CARRYING ONLY HIS CANE
Nameless Hero of Sed-El-Bahr Proves
to Have Been Maj. Doughty
Wylie, Staff Officer.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
CAIRO, May 20.-In recent dispatches
from this place mention was made of
the nameless hero of Sed-el-Bahr-a
certain colonel-who, after the difficult
landing operations there. and subse-
quent to the assault on the fortress, led
the men in a gallant bayonet charge
up a hill. All he carried was a small
cane, but band he wore on his arm
apparently was that of staff officer
He walked about in the open under a
continuous fire, talking to the men,
cheering them up and rallying them
together.
When they were all ready for the
bayonet charge. he placed himself in
with this small cane. led the charge up
the hill. The moral effect of the off,
GERS action was great. The men
charged up the hill and cleared their
enemy from his position, but the un-
known officer lost his life. 1t now
transpires that the officer was Nal
Doughty-Wylie. and the hill on which
he met his death is now known as
"Doughty-Wylie's hill"
He had no business to be there, as he
was stan officer, but the loss among
the officers in landing had been so
great and the necessity for making
headway quickly was so essential, that
Maj. Doughty-Wylie acted in the emer-
gency

MANY PENSION SYSTEMS
FOUND TO BE UNSOUND
Carnegie Foundations Investigation
Shows Methods Employed
Court Disaster.

NEW YORK, June 7.-Evidence of bad
planning and Of administrative methods
which court disaster was found by the
Carnegie Foundation for the Advance
ment Of Teaching in both public and pri-
vate pensions systems examined by that
organization, according to the annual re-
port Of its president. DR.. Henry S.
Pritchett, published today
Systems are started with small fund
in the hope that somehow or other it
may be increased said the report. "It
is probable unless halt is called, that
considerable damage will be done within
the next few years if the pension idea
assumes the dimensions of a fashion. The
rapid development of recent years has
been accompanied by an utter disregard
of the simple mathematical principles in
volved. The last few years have seen the
collapse or imminent collapse of pension
systems of comparatively recent date"
Employment Of actuarial advance and
supervision was recommended. Pointing
to the New York city pension system as
an object lesson, DIR. Pritchett stated that
uncertain sources of income, contribu-
tions inadequately proportioned to bene-
fits promised and haphazard methods of
administration devoid of any conception
of the mathematical consideration in
volved. bear in themselves the seeds of
bankruptcy"

DIDN'T sLUR RELIEF WORK.
German Governor General of Bel
gium Denies Newspaper Report.

BERLIN. via London. June Cen.
Won Kissing, the German governor gen
eral of Belgium. was recently quoted
by New York newspaper as having
criticised American relief work in Bel
gium and as saying that II was in no
sense charity, but that the Americans
received payment for all grain and
supplies furnished. with the exception
of certain clothing from the Rockefel-
Ter Foundation.
Gen. Won Kissing has now informed
the American embassy in Berlin
through the foreign Office that he must
have been misquoted. He had no in
tention. he says, of casting doubt on
the fact that part of the grain sent to
Belgium represented gifts. or of inti-
mating that the foodstuffs had been
disposed of otherwise-than as directed
by the givers.
