he also knows that the Record of Sport

YOUNG OFFICERS TRAINED
At CAMP NEAR BATTLE
FRONT
(By Associated Press.l

LONDON, April 13-The school for
training officers, established by the
British general staff is located close
to the seneral headquarters ir France.
and now has more than a hundred
students, all picked from the ranks.
The course occupies month and CON-
pines theory with practice, although
special emphasis is naturally placed
en- the practical side.
The school occupies comfortable
cid mansion. A group of barns and
sheds have been fitted up as dormito-
ries. In the court yard is great
sand bank, where the students con-
struct model trenches, and apply the
theory of the text book to practice.
There are several class-rooms equip
ped with blackboards on which the
instructors fight over again some of
the early battles of the war. There
are courses in mathematics, in hy-
giene, and in other branches neces-
sary for the equipment of young Of
ficer.
Not all of the students prove to be
of suitable material for commissioned
rank. Part of the business of the
school is to test the students as to
their mental and moral capabilities
for assuming rank as an officer in the
field. Every week the student goes
back to the trenches for twenty-four
hours in company with an instructor,
to observe and apply what he has
been taught during the six days at the
school.

VETERAN LABOR
LEADER IS DEAD
(By Associated Press.

LONDON, April 13.-John Wilson,
veteran Labor member of the House Of
Commons, is dead at his home in Dur
ham, aged IS. He started life as a pit
boy in the coal mines, and was self
educated. He founded the Miners As
ISOLATION in 1869, and had been one OF
the chief leaders of the trades unio-
lists ever since, entering Parliament ia
1890 and serving continuously there
up to the time of his death.
In his autobiography, published a
few years ago, he told of his early
trials and privations as the son of n
poacher who, in constant dread Of the
law, never lived more than six months
in one place. He told of feeling the
call of them wild when nineteen years
old, of his wanderings in the United
States, his return to his native heath,
his unregenerate life, his conversion
and introduction to lay preaching, and
his advent as a trades union agitator

CAMP IN PRUSSIA
MECCA FOR YOUNGSTERS

BERLIN, April automatically
inclined German boys who run away
from home for life of adventure have
changed their directions since the out
break of the war. Formerly they al
ways went west, led astray by cheap
tales about fighting the Indians and
life in the Rocky Mountains; now they
go east in order to get nearer to Field
marshal Won Hindenburg.
Four such youngsters recently left
Neu-Koelin, a suburb of Berlin. Not
having any money they fell upon a
newspaper vendor and robbed him of
$1.75. That took them as far as
frankfort on the Oder, where they
were stranded. Roaming in an adjac-
ent village begging for food, they were
arrested by the police and sent home
to their parents. The boys said they
intended to go to East Prussia AMI
carry water to the German soldiers in
the trenches.

LONDON COCKNEYsi
ADOPT AMERICAN
SLANG EXPRESSIONS.
(By Associated Press.l

LONDON, April 13.-American slang
and Yankeeisms are rapidly being in
corporated into the speech of the
people in England, owing to the vogue
of American variety actors, ragtime
songs and American books and plays.
So one hears born and bred cockneys,
who have never taken an hours
trip from London, says the Globe, tell
a person that he will Elk him up
with as much conviction as a Con-
necticut Yankee-for the expression
is a true Yankeeism and has never
been current in the southern states.
Educated English men and women
not only get off Americanisms uncon-
sciously but seriously
Newspaperdom has borrowed large
ly of its slang from the tsates in
"story," 'write-up," throw down.
"'cub," Give paper" and the like.
American business men have popu-
1arized in England such phrases as
made good and back to the woods, l"
and quick lunch" restaurants have
sprung up. Even on the underground
railways the conductors say step
lively instead of the old "please 'ur-
ry up"
Other bits of current slang attribut-
able to American influence, ragtime
and otherwise, are: THE glad eye

a date" freeze on to-" "surest thing
you know" and kindred expressions

KAISER CANNOT
AFFORD To LOSE
SAMOAN ISLANDS
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10
The part played by the German is
lands OF the Samoan group, in the in
ternhtional relations of the Orient Is
told in statement prepared today by
the National Geographic Society. This
statement is as follows:
THE islands of the Samoan group
acquired some years ago by Germany
occupy a position in the South Seas
which would make their permanent
loss a serious blow to the Germans.
These islands lie in the direct line of
mail steamers between American
ports, Hawaii and Australasia. Upolu
and Savaii are the German islands,
while Tutuila and its adjacent small
splotches of green are possessions CT
the United States. The German pos
sessions have been, temporarily, at
least, wrested from her The soils of
this island group are luxuriantly fer
tile, and copra-dried cocoanut-is
produced here in large quantities.
Tropical fruits, yams, arrowroot and
other agricultural products are
brought forth in abundance.
cit is however as a strategic port of
call, an advanced harbor in the Orient,
that Germany set highest value upon
these South sea possessions. For a
time the Samoan Islands were under
the control of the British government
and German consuls. The control CT
the islands which existed before the
war was affected by treaty made in
1899. The total area of the group is
about 1850 square miles of which the
German share is 1910 square miles.
There are eight inhabited islands in
the group, with total population of
81 900, of which 33,47S live within the
confines of the German islands. These
figures include only the native popu-
lation. The number of European set
tiers is negligible.
"The climate of Samoa is found by
some to border upon perfection as far
as climate go, and by others it is dis
missed with a vague notation that it
is supportable. Perhaps the delight

Don't go to a theatre, lecture or ball,
But stay in your room tonight
Denying yourself to the friends that
call.
And good long letter write.
Write to the sad old folks at home
Who sit when the day is done
With folded hands and downcast eyes,
And think of their absent son.
Don't selfishly scribble, excuse my
Haste, have hardly time to write,
Lest their brooding thought go won

Back to many q bygone night,
When they lost their needed sleep
And rest, and every breath was a

That God would bring their son back
To their love and care.
Don't let them feel you no more need
Their love and counsel advice,
For the heart grows strongly sensitive
When age has dimmed the sight.

You never forgot them quite
That you deem it a pleasure when far
away,
Long letters Home to write.
Don't think that the girls and boys
Who make your pastime gay,
Have half the anxious thought for you
That the old folks have today.
For the sad old folks at home
With locks fast turning white,
Are thinking Of their absent son,
So give them a surprise and come
