London's Confusing Streets.

From the New 1ork Sun.
When it comes to confusing street
systems London should not be over
looked Some consider it the most con-
fusing. even Londoners not always be-
ing sure Of locations. AS an example
Of what one meets in the British capital
a man once asked to be directed to
certain house on King street. He was
sent in one direction. When he did not
come to King street as soon as he ex
pected he asked again for King street
and was sent in an opposite direction.
Again not sure of his direction he asked
a third time for King street and was
asked which King street he wanted.
The question stumped him. not know
ing that London has nineteen King
streets. This number does not include
the King streets in Londons suburbs.
If this man who wanted King street
had asked for Queen street his predic
ament would have been even greater.
for there are thirty-four Queen streets
in London. Great as the city is, 1t is
far behind New York in regard to a
comprehensive street system, even
though corners of New York such as
Greenwich Village are most confusing.

Texel, the low-lying island at tho en-

submarine ran aground, was the scene
of much fierce fighting between Dutch
and English in the seventeenth CEN
tury. 1t was off Texel that one of the
greatest Of Dutch admirals. Van Tromp.
lost his life in 1853 in an engagement
with the British under Blake. and near
the same spot, almost exactly twenty
years after, De Ruyter was defeated in
a desperate conflict with the British
and French under Rupert and D'Es-
trees. On October II, 1897, Texel again
witnessed a heavy defeat of the Dutch,
this time by Admiral Duncan.

Of BANTAMS
CAPTURES MACHINE GUN
Entire Army in British Trench Line
Applauds Valor Of the Lit
tie Fellows"

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS, France.
June 2s.-"Good for the little fellows"
expressed the feeling of the whole army
when the "bantams' in one Of the neat
est of trench raids took a machine gun
from the Germans. No commander Is
prouder Of his men than the commander
of the bantams; no battalions SO thor
oughly have the good wishes OF the
whole army. The idea OF the bantams,
unique among the armies of Europe,
was Lord Kitchener's. II little men
wanted to fight for their country why
shouldn't they? Put them in an or
ganization by themselves and give them
a chance.
No man over five feet three was ac-
cepted. Short men who had been
turned away by recruiting sergeants in
the early days of the new army formed
tho first battalion. AS it was sue
cess, others followed. At the front
visitor to a certain portion OF the lines
sees sturdy short-legged men march
ing along the roads and keeping guard
in the trenches.
Subject Of Many Jokes.
Many jokes have been passed about
them. 1t was even suggested that
when they went into the trenches some
body would have to hold them up to
the parapet to fire. But the bantams
answered that Napoleon and Lord Rob-
erts were little men. and the bantams
fatherly interest in them and admire
them for their pluck.
Instead of having to hold them up to
fire when they first went into the
trenches the difficulty was to keep
them from showing their heads too
much. They have the advantage Of
being small targets and they are COM
pletely sheltered in a communication
trench where another mans head-would
be exposed. Most of them are miners
their stature to poor food and over
crowding Good food and fresh air
have added to the height Of some of the
young ones and to the girth OF chest
Of all.
Their only drawback is that they can
not carry the full equipment of sixty
pounds and more for long. hard
marches. So their equipment has been
cut down: they have shorter stocks to
their rifles What they lack in strength
they make up in agility.
Good at Scouting.
"They are particularly good at
scouting" said one of their officers.
There is no limit to their nerve. It is
nothing for them to crawl out in the
dark across No Mans Land, up to the
Germans barb wire"
A German machine gun is a heavy af
fair. Two strong men are required to
carry it. When the artillery had
knocked a German trench about one
night and the bantams rushed 1t to
take what prisoners and do what dam
age they could and then make a run
for it back to their own trench in the
usual trench raid fashion, they de-
termined to take a machine gun with
them to prove their prowess. Half
carrying it, half tugging 1t along the
ground. with other German machine
guns feeling around in the night for
targets through a trying half hour. they
finally landed 1t safe behind their para
pet. Many a battalion of big men have
rallied in the same effort.

IMPORTANT SUCCESSES
SCORED IN RECENT DAYS
Italy Continues Her Important
Drive-Turks Halt Enemy in
Regions of Near East.
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN.

The great battle of the Somme be-
tween Franco-British and German
forces enters upon it's second week
and a new phase.
Tremendous as has been the scale OF
fighting. developments would indicate
that the conflict is but in its earlier
stages. and before the armies halt
their present offensive and defensive
efforts the greatest military effort in
the history of the world will have
been recorded. Important as have been
the gains registered. amazing as have
been artillery actions. brilliant as
have been the Franco-British assaults,
huge as the casualties already have
been, these results are expected to pale
into insignificance when a later ac-
counting is made.
London expects a battle which will
go far toward a decision in the pres
ent European struggle. So does Paris.
So does Berlin.
The belief that the battle is but the
beginning of bigger things is but
tressed by actual occurances during
the past seven days.
The French and British forces over
nearly a thirty mile front have regis
tered gains to a depth of two miles
and in most cases from four to seven.
The entire first line of German
trenches has fallen into allied hands.
The French. south of the River Somme.
have stermed large section Of sec
ond-fine trenches. total of eleven
villages and towns. all strongly forti-
fed by the Germans during their
period Of occupation. have fallen be-
fore the assailing armies. The French
have approached within two and a half
miles of Peronne, a vital point in the
German scheme of defense The Brit
fish progress has been slower north of
the Somme. but nevertheless they slow
1y are creeping forward and infiicting
great losses on the enemy
The allies have a big goal immedi-
ately in front of them-a break through
all German defensive lines. thereby
forcing realignment of Teutonic
armies operating between Ypres and
Roye. By the continuation of their
offensive they may even force the Ger
mans to retreat over a wide territory.
possibly back of the Rhine. These are
the things which the allies already
have accomplished and those things
which are within the bounds of possi-
bility within the near future IL the
Franco-British effort continues. Con-
sequent1y 1t is not to be expected that
the present offensive effort will come
to a halt.
