LONDON, Eng.-There is not any
thing like so much drunkenness in the
British army as there used to be.
Lord French attributes much of this
improvement to the great work done
by the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion and kindred bodies. They have
established innumerable substitutes
for the canteen which Thomas Atkins
has found much more attractive and
less expensive. They provide whole
some refreshments and harmless rec.
reation for him. Any religion. too-if he
wants it. Often he helps himself to
all three.
II was the opening of a new Y. NJ.
c. A. hut by Lord French that afford
ed him the opportunity to tell how
much the army had benefited by such
work
Il remember" he said. when l first
joined the army the only refuge of the
soldier was the eanteen. In. those
days we had old soldiers who used
practically to live on beer It. used to
be quite common thing in those
days for an old soldier to sell his food
To the young recruit and buy beer and
live upon 1t.
Il think it is something like so or
80 years ago since the founders OF the
Y. NJ. e. A. commenced their benefit
eient work and the change that has
come over the personnel of the army
during that time has been something
very little short of miraculous. Those
who have served all these years in the
army can realize it better than any
body else.
"A few years before the war com
menced this Improvement began to-
manifest itself in a most extraordin-
airy manner and especially with re-
gard to the diminution of crime

TALE OF VALOR
Of WOUNDED Man
TOLD TO CANADA
Alone and Injured This Hero
Takes 81 Germans at a
Critical Moment
IRy Assoeiated Pressl

0TTAWA.-zThe exploit of wound
ed Canadian private who leaped from
his trench. killed and wounded many
Germans and compelled 60 others 10
surrender, is described in a despatch
received here today from Canadian
headquarters in France. The com.
munication states that the bravery
of the unnamed private made ii pos
sible for his battalion to capture SOC
yards of trenches at a critical moment
in the general attack. Since their
offensive began, the Canadians have
wrested nearly 80 square miles Of ter.
ritory from the Germans.
In consequence OF the repulse OF
patrols, the communication continued,
the Canadian lines we're advanced to
positions nearly 1000 yards farther
or forward. Fierce attacks and counter
attacks ensued from the German
trenches and the Canadians came off
victors.
Describing the action of the wound
ed private, the despatch said:
The most aggressive gallantry was
displayed by private belonging TO the
Edmonton battalion. He was taking
part in bombarding attack when the
advance was arrested and the supply
OF bombs exhausted. Although one OF
his fingers had been blown away al
the second joint by German bomb,
he jumped out of the trench and ran
along the side, firing at point blank
range at the enemy, killing and wound
ing many of them. The remainder
So in number, thinking themselves
about to be cut off, thereupon sur.
rendered. He took the men and es-
corted them across the open ground
under heavy fire to a support trench,
and then returned and reported him
self for duty to his commander. be-
fore his wound had been dressed.
The action undoubtedly made it pos
sible for the battalion to capture and
hold $50 yards of trenches at critical
moment

GINACA Tells
STOCKHOLDERS
PROGRESS GOOD
Mineral Products Head Writes
Letter Giving Report of
Work Done

l Henry G.. Ginaca. general manager
of Mineral Products Company, writing
under date of October II, has the fol-
flowing statements to make relating 10
the activities of the company:
Manganese tramway: Grading for
the 24-inch gauge tramway from Jones
station TO the manganese deposits. a
distance of 5.3 miles, will be complet-
ed in about two weeks. This length
of road is necessary on account OF
having to overcome an elevation of
1922 feet on 5 per cent grade. We
have purchased the ties and rails for
same. The locomotive for this tram
way arrived by the Manoa today. This
locomotive was purchased. from Jor-
gen Jorgensen, and was formerly part
of the equipment on the Waiahole tun-
mel work.
Railroad: The three last trestles
nave been completed and all rail on
hand has been laid over and past the
same. We placed an order today for
one mile of 25-po1nd rail to complete
the road to Jones Station, which is
the end of the line. We cleaned up
all the lengths of rail in the yard and
found that we would require the addi-
Itional mile.
We have experienced a very heavy
rain for period of one week In the
gulch for distance of about six miles
there was a terrific cloudburst, the
train happening to be coming down at
the time 1t lasted for ABOUT one hour.
In places the track could not be seen
on account of the water. | am told
it came down off the sides of the
mountain in large streams. Our train
has operated every day, as no damage
was done to the roadbed, We have
been able to determine the portions
of the road which will require rebal-
lasting. This should amount to not
over three miles on the flats near
Patterson This will be done soon.
The Western Magnesite Company is
now showing interest in our railroad
and we feel that they will want to
connect with us very SOON
Mr.. Anderson, our chemist at the
factory, last Sunday tried the man.

scale for the first time, and he says

and good process. We have not yet
been able to try the process on a
large scale on account or improper cir
culation in the digesters. This Is be-
cause of improper design. This is
what am now having remedied. All
other portions Of the plant have been
tested and work well
OF course, we have had the Gus
tomary troubles incident with the
starting up of new factory for new
process. We are now familiar with
the workings of the new type of APP
paratus and the chemicals Our prin-.
cipal Trouble at the beginning was ex-
element and an attempt to rush mat
tiers too rapidly, and we found that
the trouble was with the digesters. 1
know of no reason why this plant
should not work successfully As, to
capacity, it is too early to state what
each individual apparatus is capable
of doing. That the process works has
been proven beyond a doubt, and we
look for great success in the near fu-
ture.

TURKS MARCHOYERDESERT BRINGS
RESULT THAT TERMED IMPOSSIBLE

forlorn hope that the Turks, with
their astute German leadership, would
be led to an attack on the Romani po-
sition, for the whole country in this
section is covered with great steep
dunes, some of which cannot be climb
ed in places because of the sliding
sands. All these dunes were well pro-
tected by. the British. However. as
had been hoped, at midnight on Aug
ust 3, the Turks began the attack,
which ended in complete disaster for
them on August 5.
Chose Ground unwisely
Just what persuaded the Turks to
try to take this apparently impreg-
nable position is matter of consid-
cradle speculation. Some express the
opinion that they were misinformed
as to the nature of the battle-ground.
Others thing they misjudged the Brit
ish strength and hoped, despite the
difficulties presented, to take the po-
sition and establish base from which
they could work against the canal.
However that may be, they were clev
erly drawn into the sand dunes trap
They fought bravely and their artii
lery shooting was very accurate and
effective in places, but no body of at
lacking troops could hope to fight
their way through these dunes when
opposed by artillery, machine guns,
cavalry and entrenched infantry.
Suffer Much For Water
The Turks suffered from lack OF
water since they had to advance from
their base laden as lightly as possible.
Both sides undoubtedly underwent al
most the limit of human endurance
from the great heat The climax OF
the battle was the charge of the Amaze
light horse. who arrayed themselves
on a ridge some two miles and half
in length and hurled themselves down
upon the Turks, who were struggling
forward in the sandy trap, and we're
defenseless against the terrible on
slaught.
Paragraph deleted by censor.)
The general opinion is that the
Turks must have proved to their own
satisfaction that while they might
bring troops across the desert, yet
they could hope for no success during
me hot season unless they had com
munication railways established back
of them. For this reason, it is be-
lieved that they will not venture to at
tack again in force during the sum-
mer.
A Turkish prisoner OF war. major,
who was captured at Romani, gave the
correspondent an explanation of the
Turkish expedition. The major de
clared that it was merely reconnoit-
ering force sent out to pave the way
for a real advance which would take
place shortly. The $4,000 men were
TO size up the British strength and
make preparations along the way for
the bigger army which was to follow.
But his somewhat startling assertion
lost some of its force when a fellow
officer sitting beside him made an in
effeetual attempt to hide smile.

BUILDING a Small House.

When the prospective owner of a
small house determines at last TO build
the home to which he has been aspiring
for. perhaps, many years, he faces the
consideration with the realization Of
complex problem-the necessity Of har-
monizing the ideal that has formed in
his years of anticipation with the stern
realities of the actual building. Con-
cisely stated, his problem is this: To
combine the five desirables-space,
charm, distinction, utility and comfort
with the sixth, economy, within the
apparently limited allowance Of the
small house. Sometimes he succeeds
in this. Generally he yields TO the diff
ficulties presented and sacrifices one
or more of the desirable qualities
thankful to get finished house after
all the dissension ensuant with build
ing progress. When, however, home
builder succeeds in the combining of all
these qualities in the construction OF
his house the achievement is worthy
Of record. - Raymond Comstock in

Pure Drinking Water.

The geologic resource of greatest
value to the health Of communities Is a
supply of pure drinking water. 1t is
generally recognized that number Of
diseases, prominent among which are
typhoid fever and amoebic dysentery-
a disease more common in tropical eli
mates, but found also In the United
States-are contracted through contain
mated water or contaminated food
Therefore a supply of pure water will
eliminate one Of the sources OF such
infection.
1t Is highly desirable TO obtain sup
plies of domestic water from sources
other than the shallow wells, some of
them open, that are found near many
houses. The water obtained from deep
wells has percolated through sands and
other material for 80 great a distance
that its impurities have been removed
by filtration, and 1t possesses a sani-
tary value that cannot well be overes-
timated, for such water is free from
the bacteria causing typhoid fever and
the protocol causing amoebic dysen-
terry, and its use obviates the necessity
for shallow wells that may serve as
breeding place for Anopheles, the mos
quito TO which malarial infections Is
