master General who was responsible for Keeping that army overseas sup piled. His success in this capacity led to his appointment as Chief of Staff.
 Now all the branches of the armys s activities are under his direction. It is his business to coordinate all; and to anal gamates the forces of the new army which arrive with the old in a Homogeneous Organization up to the standard required by present conditions of warfare. Despite his life of unremitting application he has few gray hairs at 52;~ and he gives the impression of the physical viger and endurance which enables him to. keep up the pace of Is hours hard work a day. Those who go inta his office know him as man of few words, a good listener, who sticks to the facts and never indulges in theor- fes. .
 tHe does not hesitate to do away with red tape,' said one of his as- sistants., "The essential point with him is to get the thing done. Dur ing the retreat from Mons we lost a great deal of material. Among other things officers and men lost all their equipment, even including their caps in some instnaces. AS the gov ernment clothes and equips the men they could be cared for. But the of- ficers pay for their own.sThey would have to i'll our certain forms for re- imburSement which would have to go to the War Off1ce-but Sir William
 settled that in a minute by giving orders that they should be supplied
 and we could take care of the red l tape afterward. Throughout all the l yicissitudes of the campaign from
 Mons to the Aisne and then to the | ' Ypres-ArInentieres line. the soldiers
 never went short of food. Regardless
 of red tape and any other obstacles
 he saw that in some way or other their rations reached them. He is
 proud of the fact that he rose from
 the ranks and he dislikes publicity. | His one supreme interest is his
 work. He Iikes~-work for work s
 sake"

HIS OWN DEFECTIVE, GROCER CAPTURES
 DEFAULTY FRIEND

Nick Jamboz from Woonsocket and other points east, met old friend in the person of s. D. Pittu, of 599 Hancock avenue, a few weeks ago. The latter runs a grocery store in the West End. Nick was hand up and Pittu gave him a job in his store. After working for two weeks Nick. proceeded to ransack the till and af- ter procuring, $40 from the register he left for parts unknown.
 While Pfttu was walking down Main street Sunday afternoon he came across Nick. He then asked Nick to go out to his store and go back to work, adding that he would forgive him for his Tnisdemeanor. They took Fairfield avenue as their course. On passing police headquar- ters >Pittu grabbed Nick by the neck and dragged him into the station house where the charge of theft was placed against the man from Woon- socket.
 In city court this morning Judge Frederic A. Bartlett continued the case until tomorrow for investigation. It is alleged that Jamboz is wanted in Woonsbcket on a similar charge.

Special promotion could come only through distinguishing himself. Mac Donald, who won fame by his charge at Omduran and other eminent British commanders who had risen from the ranks had won their way as natural leaders of men in the field. Robertson's career is the more strik- ing, officers say, because it is due to excellence in organization and in the application of the methods of mod ern war which presupposes the grounding of a thorough scientific military education
 Four years after he had received Fattention to be assigned to the aIn- telligence branch of the Quarter
 masters Department in India. Tn India he found his opportunity. Re war ds are given officers for learning native dialects.
 To the average officer there is nothing very attractive in spending hours with a native "nunshi'' or teacher in acquiring g. tongue which Ican be of use with only some from l tier tribe Robertson offered his nunshi a quarter of the reward when he was proficient enough to learn it by passing an examination. |
 Sir William, when he is re1ninis- cent, will recall what an excellent
 
 I munshi saw to it that his pupil did not fail to improve any spare mo- rnents. He would be waiting at his pupils door at daybreak and put him through an hours lesson be- fore breakfast. Having mastered one dialect Rob bertson undertook Eanother and then another Soon he l became known as a, language expert l This. gained for him another oppor- tunity which was to apply his knowl- ledge to explorations on the North west frontier. When the Chitra l Critra trouble came his linguistic ac- accomplishments and his knowledge o1 | the country were invaluable. He lcane out of the Chftra1 campaign with the Distinguished Service Order for services which included gal1antry in action when he was severely lwounded Now he was marked man in the service, marked Sb5 stubborn application which had brought him from the ranks and by l his demonstrated ability.
 Everyone had to admire him." as another general said. .sHe had wor 1 his waywithout influence against odds by sheer hard work making the most of his natural gifts"
 On the staff throughout the South | African campaign he earned the l praise of Roberts and Kitchener bS his capacity for getting things done ! when others sometimes failed. Wher in 1910 he was placed in comma nc i of the Army Staff College even those l who agreed that he had shown him self to be the man for the place were amazed at the thought Of man who had been for ten years a private f without any groundwork of regular academic education should become 1.-the director of an institution whicf gathers the abIest officers of the army for instruction in the higher branches of war and gives the char acter to army organization in time l of war.
 Meantime het had kept on with his languages. He now knew French and German and he had studied the l continental army system. There seems to be general agreement that his improvement of the staff college marked an epoch.
 As Director of Military Training I at the War Office he later had much to do with the preparation of the British Expeditionary Force. He 1 went to France with it's as Quarter

New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massa- chusetts will decide this year.
 Here are the states where the women already have the vote: Arizona, Cali fornia, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Kan sas, Montana, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming. As yet no eastern state has granted its women a right to vote, Illinois being the near est to the Atlantic, seaboard.
 Women Campaign Active.
 The women have been very active in their campaign for votes and have re- sorted to many unique devices with which to advertise and bring their propaganda before the public eye. On any night on the street corners of the large cities in the states where the elections are to be held this year wom- en are making their pleas direct to the voter, to the man on the street. Some of the suffrage orators are excellent speakers, and in this manner they ihave done much to advertise their
