London.--In a general way every
cruitment of men and the supplying
them with arms and ammunition was
only a part of the work required of
the war office TO put the new British
army in the field, but not one person
in a thousand realized the enormous
task and the multitude Of incidents
which go into the equipment of a force
capable of taking its place in the field
under modern war conditions.
The war office has been faced with
the necessity of providing everything
from socks to uniform buttons, from
mess spoons TO great coats, for an
army grown in "a months from less
than 100000 to more than 100000.
And the success with which this stu
alton has been met is one of the in
dustrial romances of the war.
Figures, sas a rule, tell little, but the
government has compiled some statls-
tics behind which can be seen the
feversh industry, the unceasing toll,
which has permitted the men at the
front to take their place as an eff
fective fighting machine beside the
French and the Russians and the Itai-
ians; the labor which made possible
the development of the little contin-
gent which crossed to France in Au-
gust, 1914, to the greatest volunteer
army in the history of the world.
These statistics are based on reports
up to April /.

The applicant was Christian. There
have been few false applications-per-

hundreds Of applications. There are
now 60 pensioners of the former Turk

families who are saved from actual
want by this system. AS soon as a
tale of misery is reported it is inves-
tigated. If charity is needed the money
is paid out Mt once. If the application
is genuine there is surprisingly little
'red tape" about the awards.

floor, the ankle twisted, and he fell
awkwardly, striking his head against
a table leg with such force that he lay
half stunned. An instant later his as
sailant enptied five chambers of re-
volver into the darkness about him,
and then, alarmed by a racket Of
pounding on the hall door, fled success
fully by way of the fire escape to adj
joining roofs and neighboring back
yards.
BY the time Whitaker was able to
pull himself together and hobble to the
door, brace of intelligent policemen,
who had been summoned by the hall
boy, were threatening to break il down.
Admitted, they took his safety into
their care and, simultaneously, the re-
volver which he incautiously admitted
possessing. Later they departed, OBJ
viously disgruntled by the unprofes-
sional conduct of the "crook" who had
left no "clues," with a warning to the
householder that he might expect to be
summoned TO court, as soon as he was
able to move, to answer for the crime

nsr-Few False Applications
Are Received.
BY LOUIS EDGAR BROWNE,

Correspondent Of the Chicago News.
Headquarters Mesopotamian Expedi-
tionary Force, Basra, Arabia.-A staff
of trained men has been brought to-
gether to administer the customs and
revenue collections in the occupied
part of Turkey. Except that the rates
have been slightly reduced, the tariffs
are the same as they were under the
Turks. All the money collected
territory is being expended on civil
government, civic improvements, pen
sions for Turkish pensioners and al
lowances for the families of Turkish
prisoners of war held by the British.
There are many civic improvements
necessary. a good road between Ashar
and Basra city is imperative; the canal
needs dredging; the dikes need rebuild
ing and sanitation must be achieved
by actual force. Much has already
been done. Several good bridges have
been built over Ashar creek; a large
gang of masons is repairing the canal
wall; the bazaar has been cleaned
out the police force has been reorgan-
which is to bring roadway metalling
from an extinct volcano 30 miles away
leaps ahead daily.
British Pension Turk Officials.
AL of the retired Turkish officials
who were living on pensions from the
Ottoman government when the Brit
ish occupied Basra may now draw
from the British government sufficient
money to enable them to live decently.
All Turkish officials actively in service
at the time of occupation who have
had more than 20 years service may
also be pensloned Most of these have
been permitted freedom. The families
of Turkish prisoners of war may re-
ceive allowances by applying to the
chief political officer for the British
forces.
l glanced through some of the files
In the political Office and jotted down
the facts of few applications for al
lowances. The applicant can usually
speak only Turkish or Arabic. He
writes his application out in Turkish
and takes it to the bazaar where some
native translator turns it into most
weird and picturesque English. 1t
then goes to the chief political officer,
who orders an investigation. If the
application is bona fide, 1t is certain to
be granted. Pensions and allowances
are graded according to class-the
wife of Il former governor would draw
what even in America would be q
good-sized pension, while the wife Of
Il coolie soldier would get perhaps 10
cents a day. Yet both women would
be enabled to live in their customary
manner. This concession has prevent
ed actual want. Officers already pen
stoned before the arrival of the Brit
ish may draw up to one quarter OF the
pension they received from the Turk
ish government although in cases of
urgent necessity larger allowances are
granted
