Dandy te perform an autopsy : Mr.
Poulin also went to Dandy later in the
day.
On the day he received his injuries,
Mr.. Towne went to Granville, n. Y,
in carriage, taking with him Job
Phillips of Tinmouth, who made the
trip to secure supply of liquor. Moth
ing more was heard of Towne until he
was found beside the road. His wag-
on had been damaged At the time
Towne told the authorities that his in
juries were due to kick from his
horse but later, on realizing that he
must die, he changed his story and
gave the states attorney a statement
| that led to the issuance of warrant
| for Phillips, who has not yet been ap

SAYS KITCHENER'S
ARMY is 1900, 900
y. Herbert Duckworth Tells How the
War Secretary Fooled the German
Agents

Asserting that Lord Kitchener raised a
British army of 100000 without the fact
being known to anybody outside govern
ment circles in England, J. Herbert Duck
worth, an English Journalist, tells in the
July number of the American Magazine
how this was accomplished
CIV hen the British secretary of state for
war first conceived the idea of putting into
the field 100000 men," says the article,
''he realized that it would be grave STRAIT
egic bUnder to allow the enemy to know
what was really afoot. Rather the game
should be to call for million men, and
then press agent the world with stories
lamenting the fact that at last the British
Empire was about to crumble up because
the men of England had not the pluck to
defend it. The scheme worked out admir-
| ably.
THE campaign of silence was conducted
on strictly scientific lines. The newspaper
editors were first warned that any indis
erection would mean court-martial and
jail. They were instructed to publish only
the recruiting returns sent out by the War
Office. Independent census taking was
strictly forbidden.
/ ''Whcn it came to moving the new
troops to France extraordinary precautions
were taken to mislead the spies. The reg
iments were not all transported from
southampton to Boulogne or Havre. In
stead they We're shipped from what We're
really cut of the way and inconvenient
points Bristol, Avonmouth, Cardiff, Swan
sea and Barrow, for example-to French
iports as far from the firing line as St.
PMalo, Brest and even Bordeaux on the
west coast and Marseilles on the Mediter-
Iranean.
Troop trains were invariably moved at
might with drawn blinds The engine driv-
ers were changed every 20 miles or so, and
the captain of the troop ships received
their final instructions by wireless after
they had put to sea-"
