climb much above 80 degrees. Sun
strokes are unknown. and one can

BOY HERO KILLED.

Quit Office Boy Job and Joined

BY WILBUR S. FORREST.

London, April 20.-There has just
reached London the story of a IS
week office boy, 1 years old. who died
a hero among the bravest of the brave
of King Georges inest on Gallipoh
peninsula.
1t is a story to thrill the heart of
every office boy in the United States,
this recital of what happened to Cyril
Cook after he left the drab surround
ings in the dreary office of big Pail
Mall firm and hearkened to the order:
"Charge" and forgot the lordly over
clerks bumptious summons: "Boy!
Less than two years ago Cyril Cook
was a typical office boy with large
Pail Mall firm. At the outbreak of
war he misrepresented his age to a
recruiting sergeant and Joined the
army. Early in 1915 his regiment was
sent to the Dardanelles.
A letter to the boys parents in East
Finchley tells the story. A comrade
detailed how the youngster fought in
practically every important engage
ment.
Twice he surprised his officers by
bringing in Turks he had captured at
the point of the bayonet.
He had undertaken many dangerous
outpost duties and his conduct
throughout all engagements had won
him high praise from the comman-
ders.
According to his comrade. the form
err office boy was in line for decora-
ton. He was killed December Is;
shot through the head.

Shakespeare and his works.
A chief reason for denying Bacon's
authorship of the Shakespeare play
is found in the following quotation
from Julius Caesar, dear to me as the
ruddy drops that visit this sad heart. >,
This is taken by Shakespeare scholars
as a sure proof of the authors belief
in the then new theory of the circula-
ton of the blood. This theory was
strongly denied by Bacon.
According to the best scholars the
story of Shakespeare being gaoled for
deer stealing is as big a myth as the
popular tale of George Washington
and the cherry tree.

Police and Firemen's Pensions.

At Fridays meeting of the House Dis
triet committee the question of police
and firemen's pensions will be consid-
cred, together with a bill for an in
crease of the police salaries 1t appears
that there is some slight conflict of
sentiment in the matter as between
these two propositions. There should
be none. The policemen should get bet
ter pay and should be given an adequate
pension guarantee as we'll. The firemen
should be treated in the same way Both
of these forces are paid too little in
consideration of the value of their serv-
ices
There should be no question whatever
about proper legislation at this session
to insure an adequate pension system
for the policemen and fremen. The Ip-
polito ease surely proved the need. This
man, a crossing policeman who is not
on pension status, was nearly killed
in the discharge of his duty, while saw
ing life Had he died his widow would
not have received a penny of pension.
But even if she had been eligible to pen
sion under the law there would have
been no assurance of sufficient fund
at any time to pay the amount allotted
to her. An adequate pension provision
is imperatively needed. The House Dis
trict committee has ample data on the
subject, disclosing the deplorable situa-
ton, and it should not fail to bring
forth bill for enactment at this ses-
sion.

Consumption in England.

Premier Asquith's sudden announce
ment that the British government has
agreed upon military compulsion came
as surprise after the supposed truce
had been effected whereby the conscrip-
tionists in the ministry agreed to wait
for time. Bnt since that truce was
arranged much has happened The Irish
revolt has greatly stirred England,
though it was quickly suppressed, dem
onstrating the possibility of a necessity
arising for the maintenance of a large
force at home while keeping up the
British percentage on the western war
front. Then the disaster at tel
Amara proved conclusively that Eng
lands military disasters suffered since
the war began have been due to a dis
position to underrate the enemy and to
undertake the necessary military tasks
with inadequate forces.
Conscription is likely to be less un-
popular in England today than it would
have been fortnight ago as result
of these two happenings. Yet the Eng
lish people abhor the thought of com
pulsory service, and much opposition is
to be expected, even though the proposed
measure is carried through parliament
with small show of resistance The re-
peated German attacks by sea and air
upon English territory have been more
instrumental, however, in wearing down
this hostility to compulsory service than
all the arguments of the British states
men, while the belief that the Irish in.
surrection was aided, if not inspired. by
Germany will doubtless prove power
full leverage to enable the government
10 establish the conscription policy.
Since the war began the British have
discussed their war issues with remark
able frankness in the open and have
shown no disposition to modify their
