COWARD Turns HERO
IN height Of BATTLE
British Soldier. Who Was Court

Special Gable to The washington hdald
London. July 3.-Higher education at
British general headquarters in Flanders
is now in full swing. said Prof. ]. H.
Morgan. home commissioner of the Brit
ish expeditionary force, in a lecture here.
At the beginning of the war any officer
who desired to improve himself in the
lethal arts had to do it privately in his
own dugout. For instance, one young
subaltern manufactured a flare out of a
test tube filled with water, suspended by
string in beef. tin containing sodium,
which he tied on wire in front of his
trench. At night advancing Germans
bumped into the wire. spilled the water
into the sodium thereby causing flare.
and were shot by our snipers.
Old stoveppes were also made into
trench mortars by our men, their only
disadvantage being that this kind of
ordnance was as dangerous to the users
as to their foes.
Things have changed since then, and
among the schools now in full swing are
those for machine guns, trench mortars,
and flying.
The professor also told a story Of a
sergeant who was sentenced to penal
servitude for cowardice, and who after
ward retrieved his character and his
stripes by great heroism.
While out with a patrol one night this
sergeant completely lost his nerve and
bolted. He was tried by court-martial
for cowardice and sentenced to five years.
penal servitude. He was deprived of his
stripes and taken back to confinement
under an armed guard to await the con-
firmation of his sentence
In the meanwhile. however, the Prus-
sian guard made their sudden and fierce
assault upon British lines and all the
British reserves were rushed up to -
sst them. The sergeant's armed guard
went and with them went the sergeant.
His courage returned. and during the
fierce fighting which followed he per-
formed acts of brilliant bravery, which
in other circumstances would most GER
tainly have won him the n. c. NJ and
probably the V. c.
His behavior was brought to the notice
Of the authorities, the sergeant received
back his stripes. and his sentence was
Guashed His case also led TO the pass
ing of an act of Parliament by which a
sentence by court-martial may be sus-
pended to give a prisoner an opportunity
to retrieve his character.

mission to re-embark for Liverpool. Ane
at the latter city the same process was
repeated. With him on the SaXonia were
two men who claimed to be native Amer
leans. but had no papers to prove cit.
They were held aboard until Liverpool
was reached and there placed under ar
rest and held for internment as Germans
one because his name was Hirsch and
the other because of the Teutonic cast
of his features. 1t was only through the
good Offices of the American consul at
Liverpool that they succeeded in being
deported instead.
Germans Not All Interned.
The internment of Germans in Eng
London would have it supposed. There
are too many of them. Heads of English
families where German servants were
employed sent these folk Immediately to
the authorities, but in many instances
they were sent hack at once. 1t is not
uncommon to go into a cafe and hear
the persons at an adjoining table con-
versing in German.
1t is believed that this fact has large
bearing on the strict censorship of the
news, which. however much the Ameri-
can papers may complain. is much more
rigid here for local publications than it
is for cable messages.
With a call which has just been issued
to Canada for $500 additional troops
that dominion's quota rises to 10000
Few persons have realized the enormous
number of Canadians now in England or
already at the front. The sailing of
every expedition that leaves Halifax or
Quebec has been shrouded in the utmost
secrecy since the beginning of submarine
activity, and the consequence is that
while one or two transports dock here
every week with from 200 to , 100 men
the people know little Of it.
In the great training camp at Shorn-
cliffe there are none but Canadian regi
ments, and it holds thousands of men.
These regiments will be sent to the front
in the order of their arrival, after they
have received the additional training re-
quired here

Who Wants Contract
For Magnolia Wood?

The Hornbrook Leader states that
the order has gone forth to make
firewood Of the magnolia trees in the
Ashland parks. Ashland can not af-
ford to have all of the beautiful mag
nolia lumber which could be logged
out of the immense magnolias in the
Boulevard parkway go to waste by
making firewood Of the trees, some
of which reach the towering height
of eighteen inches. That the mag
nolias did not grow is an acknowl-
edged fact. Why they did not grow
is a question. On the j. M. Wagner
place on Oak street there is beauti-
full specimen Of the magnolia, which
has attained a height of thirty feet.
However, we can remember back to
the time when we used to play hide
and-seek around that tree and 1t was
not appreciably smaller then. 1t may
possibly be that nature is slightly
backward in promoting the growth of
a magnolia. Possibly if we waited
twenty-five years or so the trees on
the Boulevard might be large enough
to put a bench under To keep up
with the town some faster growing
species must be planted.

MedfOrd Would Slap
Railroad on Wrist

Medford Tribune: According to
Chief OF Police Hittson, the whistling
campaign of the Southern Pacific
railway is effective only in this city.
which happens to have an ordinance
regulating the speed of trains within
the city limits to eight miles. At
Central Point no whistling of trains
occurs, though that station is less
protected from accidents than Med
ford AS reprisal against shrill
blasts, the city threatens to place
watChmen along the railroad track
and time the trains for vioaltion of
the ordinance. A quiet investigation
has been going on by city officials,
and the discovery is made that on
passenger trains the flagman gently
leans against the rear platform.
Thereupon the engineer will emit
four or five blasts, and two more in
response to the flagman's "high
ball" The flagman is supposed to
go a half mile from the rear Of the
train.
Action relative to the jayhawker
signs and the whistling nuisance will
be taken at the next regular meeting
of the city council, and a protest
against both filed with the Portland
and San Francisco offices.
