HIGH CLASS ARTISANS
IN CORPS OF ENGINEERS

The men are keener perhaps. but
certainly not more intelligent. because
we always had the pick OF the artisan
class even In peace time.
This consciousness of superiority
was always a marked feature OF the
r. E., acknowledged too by the war
Office, for they take precedence Of all
infantry regiments. even of Guards.
Before the war it found its express

stoned officers.

With the exception OF the House.

unit had separate mess for its SER

and sergeants, and their non-commis-
stoned officers mess was open to
every wearer of stripes, be they the
four of a quartermaster-serge the
one of lance corporal.
But the expansion brought about
by war has overstrained the capacity
of the Aldershot mess, and now, to the
regret of all its members, 1t is open
to none below the rank OF sergeant.

other branch of the service. Indaed.

A. soon as it was known that An,
th0ny Fiala had been Obliged 70 can
Gel al his chautauqna dates for this
summer. the program committee took
immediate steps to secure the most
prominent man available to fill his
place. The unanimous choice Of the
committee was United States Senator
Warren 6. Harding Of Ohio. The only
objection raised was that some OF the
committee thought Senator Harding
should be reserved for ono Of the big
headliners for the 1915 assembly.
Senator Harding Is q comparatively
young man. prominent In big affairs in
his state and enjoys the distinction OF
being the first man elected to the
United States Senate from Ohio by

Picked Body Of Mechanics
Enter Royal Engineers to
Act as Sappers and Miners.
Provide Uniforms for Re-
cruits and Build Bridges
and POntOOns for Armies
in Fighting Zone.

LONDON, Aug. why the Royal
Engineers. are, and probably always
will be the most popular corps in the
British army is a question that any
sapper is prepared to answer at a
moments notice: but as his reply gen.
orally includes, with the advantages
and glories of the Royal Corps, all the
distinguished officers it has given to
the service, that enumeration would
be far too lengthy for single issue
of a newspaper. .-..
Sufficient for the day is it to men.
ton that Lord Kitchener himself
served his military apprenticeship as
subaltern of the Royal Engineers.
To that may be attributed the fact
that even in these months of war an
endless stream of recruits has flowed
into the training depot, whose head
quarters overlook the tawny waters of
the Basingstoke canal.
Scene Of Action.
1t is a block Of buildings now that
serves to house the sappers. miners,
pontoonials, bridge-builders, mine
layers, redoubt constructors, and the
artincers of hundred and one trades
who constitute the rank and Ale of
the corps, for the solid red brick and
almost artistic pile that stood in time
of peace is now surrounded with
groups of tar-roofed huts, whose only
beauty lies in their utility.
Tbs newcomers, however, are not
the only huts the Engineers can boast.
Hidden away among their stables are
wooden huts that date back to the
Crimea. condemned as dwelling places
but serviceable still as storehouses,
whose stability testifies to the craft
mapship of byegone generations of
sappers.
"Sappers," it should be said, is the
generic term for the r. e. of every
rank, by the electricians, boat build
ers, blacksmiths. joiners, surveyors,
coppersmiths, telegraph clerks, or
plumbers.
All Mechanics Welcome.
There are all these and a hundred
other callings in the various engineer
companies, for the one essential to
enlistment on this corps Is the know
ledge of a craft or profession. Turn
ers and machinists OF all kinds, too,
are wearing it's uniform, and If mu-
milton makers are withdrawn from the
fighting forces, 1t is possible that the
engineers will supply very big per-
centage.
Are you getting more intelligent
type Of recruit?" was question pro-
pounded to an Aldershot sapper officer
mo, we are not" was the reply.

OFFER SAME COURSES

There will be no change in the
courses of study in the common
schools of the county next fall, said
County Superintendent Williams TO-
cay. The course of study for high
schools has not been announced by
the state board, but 1t is probable that
little change will be made.
The same schools that taught do

Every school in the county has some
course OF this kind, but advanced
courses are only taught in a few Of the
