 BEING FILLED

Gateway: Seward is already get ting filled up. A couple of weeks age this paper wrote half in fun and half seriously skit about what may happen in Seward ill the be- ginning of March and, strange to say, some of the anticipations are already being realized. E. Q, Sawyer made it his business yes tsrGay to make a complete circle of the beach to discover how many cabins could be rented in that quar- ter and he could only find two. These two were put on the market immediately and one hour aftef they were put up they were rented by T man with his wife and child. Many people are now looking for 'ots on which to build, but another difficulty is presented in the short age of lumber. There Is some lum- Der of a certain kind, but the supply is so incomplete that 1t is said it would be practically impossible to build a house just now. The gen eral belief of those coming from the outside is that we shall have a rush here in a few weeks.

Manifestation of Love of British
Troops for Children-Address
Before Y. M. C. A. Members.

The British soldier in the trenches
was vividly pictured to a Washington
audience yesterday afternoon when
Miss Helen May Boulnois entertained
members of the Y. NJ. c. A. at the home
of that organization with stories which
she heard from the lips of soldier-pa-
tients in the Craigleith Military Hos
pital, in Edinburgh Miss Boulnois
only recently came to America from
Scotland. and the incidents recounted

from Mons. Meux. Charleroi and the
River Aisne she rehears yesterday
afternoon in Il manner that made the
soldiers of Great Britain seem very
human to her audience.
The stories. she told were not "neu-
trail" nor could they have been. as she
herself pointed out. since they were
written with the blood of the men
from whom she heard them. The good
nature, the, .tcnacity.. the stupidness.

England Not Prepared for War.

England was little prepared for
| war; and did not expect it Miss Boul-
nois declared. NO one thought that
our good old sleepy country would get
into it
1t was Queen Mary's idea that all
wounded soldiers should be nursed as
near home as possible. Miss Boulnois
said. SO that was why Scotch soldiers
were brought all the way from France
to the great military hospital at Edin-
burgh. The first soldiers came some six
weeks after the opened. The
speaker stated that, strange as ii may
seem, the hospital was the happiest
place in the city. as the citizens gem
orally were perturbed. whereas the
wounded soldiers had indeed "looked
into hell and come out again.
Especially did the speaker seem i'm
pressed with the love OF children which
the hospital told her that the French
Juveniles were the brightest children
that ever were She related many
stories of the interest they took in the
little people.
On one occasion during the retreat
from Mons the Scotch troopers came
across a French woman dying in the
roadside, with a child of about three
years old clasped in her arms. AL
though she had never seen a High
lander before in her life, she exhibited
no hesitancy in holding up to one great
soldier her little child and asking him
that he take care of it.

What They Did Not Like.

When asked what they liked the

Becomes Troops Mascot.

The soldier. Miss Boulnois related,
took the child, and it became the mas
cot of his troop. He carried it for forty
miles, and it was the first thing that
was fed when meal time came around
Other stories of the troopers love for
children she recounted during her mar
rative. She told of one Irish soldier
who carried small camera with him
and took picture after picture of the
French children wherever he went.
The true history of the retreat from
Mons, the speaker asserted, has yet to
be written.
Certainly" she declared. something
went wrong. Either the English
French communications were cut Of
German spies caused the disaster that
nearly resulted in the capture Of
Paris
The speaker told of one instance
where a whole regiment of German SOL
diers disguised themselves in English
overcoats stripped from the dead, and
at night attempted to get through the
British lines.
1,S,,s The British h,, were stupid enough for
Boulnois. naively. But luckily the
Germans attempted to pronounce the
name Wiltshire, when asked what
troop they were. and you see no Ger
man could ever pdonounce villa with
out giving himself away. 1t was a
sort Of shibboleth. as it WERE"
The retreat from Mons, she declared
was universally deplored by the
wounded soldiers.
1T was the bitterest day in my life,
to turn my back on German" she
said one wounded soldier told her.
But however grim the soldiers might
have been on the field of battle the
speaker declared that they were Just
big babies" in the hospital. When
asked what they liked the best in the
war. they all declared without a mo-
ments hesitation:
THE food"
A British soldier who had acquired
enough French words to ask for bread,
wine and tobacco thought he had quite
a vocabulary, she said, and was as
pleased with his skill as he could be.
