cowED THE BAD MEN.
A General Who Didn't Fear Riskino
Shot In His Back.

Snot IN tbs DSck.
General Franks. leader OF many a
dashing charge in India, held n unique
position among his soldiers. They
loved him for his, courage. but were
sometimes irritated by his strictness
Yet In spite of this exacting severity
he was unexpectedly lenient when n
large occasion demanded it.
One day when the regiment was "fr-
ing blank bullet whistled by him
He did not stop the firing. but when
the number OF rounds ordered had been
completed he rode up to the line and
said:
Boys, there's bad shot in the
Tenth. He nearly shot my trumpeter.
and what should have said to the
boys mother? don't want to know
the blsckguard's name. The officers
will not examine the mems pouches"
This was on the eve Of campaign
and before action the senior major
came to him and said: Don't put your
self In front OF the regiment tomorrow,
sir. You know there are always one
or two bad men in regiment"
'Thank you. major" was the reply.
Its very kind of you. ! might have
given you STEP"
When the Tenth was drawn up for
the final advance he put himself at Its
head and called:
Boys. I'm tould We name to shoot
me today. Take my advice and don't
shoot Tom Franks until the fighting's
done. for We won't find better man to
lade yer
The regiment answered with cheer
and carr led the Sikh batteries with the
bayonet rather than run the risk Of
shooting the beloved old fire eater at
their head Washington Star.

are only waiting for chance to div

was further intensified by a certain
lingering loyalty to the Sultan by
memories of the previous wars and
the Greek incursions on the south, and
since the present war began, by the
fact that food has trebled in price o~-
ing to the difficulty of import.

the public hearing yesterday before
the Board of Estimate on the question

the granting of such franchises on ne
ground that il would seriously a""ct

The franchise committee Of the
Board Of Estimate has already reported
favorably on the application of the New
York Motor Bus Company. The applica-
ton of the Fifth Avenue Coach Com

lines and is subsidiary of the inter
borough Company, was not approved:
The Interborough owns 40 per cent OF
the stock of the coach company, ac--

RARE OPERATION PERFORMED
Surgeons Watch Attempt to Cure Wom-
ans Hour Glass Stomach.

A rare operation for "hour glass
stomach" was performed yesterday at
ST. Luke's Hospital by DR.. William A.
Downes. II was the first case Of this
character TO be treated by surgery in
New York City for six months. Many
doctors are watching the outcome Of
this treatment. The patient is wom-
an ffty-two years old.
The malforma,ion, in which there are
really two stomachs. is caused by the
drawing in of the walls OF the organ.
producing two sscs dilated above and
below in the shape of an hour glass.
Digestion is delayed, and many curious
symptoms. difficult Of diagnosis, appear.
When the malady is suspected. the
patient is made TO swallow bismuth.
The outline Of the stomach may then be
seen with the X-ray.

Art Lovers Wondering What Will Be-

Philadelphia, Nov. S.-Art lovers who

famous Widener galleries at Lynne

dav whether Peter A. Is. Widcner, VINO
died Saturday. made good in his VIII
his half-promise to give his collection
20 the city. The consensus Of opinion
among friends Of the dead financier Is
that he became displeased at the mac
tivity and shortsightednes of the city
and made other provision for dlsposlng
Of the collection.
Many of the pictures in the Widener
collection are worth many times their
weight in gold, and some OF the old
masters are represented more COM
pletely than in any other collection in
the world. One of the gems, Rem
brandt's "The Mill" was acquired by
Mr.. Widener at the cost Of 100000.

PEACE WOMEN OPEN
u. S. POLICY FORUM
After Lecture Oh National Rival
ry Wilson Is Urged to Call
Neutral Conference.

4 forum on Americas future foreign
policy was begun yesterday afternoon
under the direction of the Woman's
Peace party, when the opening lecture
of the course was given by Professor
Edward ". Krehbiel, Of Leland Stan
ford Junior University, on the subject
of "The Old Idea National Rivalry"
One hundred women and few men
gathered at 20 Fifth Avenue for the
meeting. Professor krehbiel attacked
the present national system and It's
extreme form, in which every nation
believes itself to have a special mis-
sion. to be superior in many, If not all,
respects to other nations, and to pos
sess the right view on any question
Quoting the definition of nation as
body which exists when its compo-
nent units believe it to be nation, he
asked whether such beliefs were not
artificial. and whether. since mans be-
liefs differ, the present national sys-
tenn could not be altered in favor OF
something better.
This afternoon at 4:30 o'clock DR..
Norman Angel will speak on "The
Great Illusion" referring to the idea
that nations compete with one another
in the economic world much as indl-
viduals do. DR.. Angel will lecture on
Wednesday and Thursday afternoon
also, and Professor Krehbiel on Friday
will complete the first half of the two
weeks course.
Under the joint direction Of the
Peoples Institute and the Woman's
Peace party three evening meetings
will be held each week at S:i5 at
Cooper Union.
At a meeting Of the Woman's Peace
party Immediately following the lect-
ure yesterday afternoon resolution
was passed urging President Wilson to
cooperate with neutral governments in
calling a conference of neutral nations
to sit as a court of mediation and sub
nit reasonable proposals for peace to
all the warning nations.
