tain, that with expectation strong
that something is going to drop on it,
london continues to be the phleg-
matte city that it always has been.
On the day that the bombs were
dropped on two villages called Faver-
sham and Sittlngbourne, l came into
London from a visit to a town near
the coast and as | learned afterward
i was not far ahead of the aeroplanes
which did the shell dropping From
personal point of view perhaps 1t were
better to be ahead of the aeroplane,
but from a reporters point of view
perhaps 1t was not unlucky! Never
theless in the talk of the thing and in
the preparations made by London for
the coming of flying visitors, there
was interest enough to keep the news
paper pulse throbbing.
1t is taken for granted, of course,
that courage is the same in all civil

the sort of cool Indifference of the
Englishman to the possibilities or
probabilities of overhead attack is a
peculiarly British characteristic. The

YOUNGEST Iron Cross Winner.

The youngest knight" to be decor

Is Alfonso Koberle, who is only thir-

for that reason, will have to wait two

says the Boston Post
Koberle is the son of laborer.
Owing to his powerful build he was
readily accepted among the volunteer

ment specially fitted him for patrol
duty, and he developed special skill
in the discovery and observation of

tives in their normal state OF treat
ment and imprisonment.
The Germans at Dorchester were all
captured during. or just after battles.
Every man there had been doing his
best for the Fatherland on the fight
ing line. Some of them had been
badly wounded, but had been kept in
hospitals until complete, or nearly
complete recovery, before being sent
to the prison camp proper. One young
fellow, just or a little more than of
age, had been badly wounded in the
side at the battle Of scissors, or per-

the many battles near scissors, be,

the armies had been struggling for a
long tine. This soldier youth was a
student. He wore big spectacles, al
most the size of motor car goggles.
He spoke English, which he told me
he had learned at school, having never
been in an English-speaking country
in his life. If the American boy learns
as good German in an American school
as the English that soldier learned in
a German school, our modern language
teachers know their business.

This boy spoke French also. Per
haps, in the present state of affairs he.
as German, is not particularly proud
of his English and French-speaking &C
complishments, but he knows the, to
him, alien languages well. His Eng
lish is almost without a trace of what
his French may be likewise, although
l am not qualified to judge. This boy
told me of his prison life, and said
he had good food, a good bed and was
comfortable, but with good food and
a good bed he nevertheless was pris-
oner. 1 thought on this as I talked
to him, wondering all the while wheth-
er he, after all, would not prefer the

life. it's semicomforts and it's safety.
Much has been written about the
uniform of the German armies, how it's
color makes it actually vanish when
viewed at little distance. Nearly all
of the prisoners at Dorchester were
still CARRIED in their field coats and
trousers, and some of them still had
their service caps. l saw many Of
these men at distance of nearly two
hundred yards, but l did not see them
clearly, because with their caps drawn
down over their eyes, thus making
