As an example Of what tactfu handling

there is perhaps no better illustration than
the manner in which the officer command
ing "London's Own" treated an enforced
confinement to barracks which the 142d,
in company with all other overseas units
now training in London, was compelled TO
undergo a few weeks ago as q result OF
disturbance downtown.
Instead Of allowing the men to congre-
gate after drill hours and brood on the
hardship Of having TO remain in barracks
for day or two, Lieut. Col. Graham ar
ranged for two concerts to be given in the
mems mess. Each proved success, and
at the conclusion Of the second evenings
entertainment, as the men filed out, they
thorused: "If this is c. B. give US some
more Of it,"
With the coming Of spring a more elsb-
crate programme of training also comes.
At present "London's Own" Is
aroused from its slumber at 80 a. m.
Soon it will be at $50 a. m. At z o'clock
comes the physical drill parade. This is an
important feature of the training, as the
present war has demonstrated that with
out physical fitness all else is practically
useless. The constant pounding Of the big
guns and the long hours Of suspense in the
trenches are nerve shattering.

Bellows Falls, VI, July 22.-It was
estimated in legal circles here tonight
that Mrs. Hetty Green left an estate Of
approximately slOo,ooo,OOO. Charles W..
Pierson, of New York, representing
Mrs. Green's son, Colonel Edward Fl.
R. Green, agreed tonight upon ten
tatiye administration fee OF $4,000 to
be paid to the state, and 1t is consld-
cred that this fee is an indication Of
the total value of the estate on the
basis of fee percentages as usually fig
ured.
Colonel Green is now sole executor
of the estate, since it was announced
to-day that his sister, Mrs. Matthew
Astor Wilks, had declined formally to
act as executrix with him, as directed
BY the will. The Probate Court to-day
admitted the will to probate without
opposition.
No charities or public in titutions
benefited under the will of Ms. Green.
EXCEPT for a few relatively mall be-
quests, the estate goes to her son,
Colonel E. H. R. Green, and her daugh,-
ter, Mrs. Matthew Asto- Wilks. 1t is
specifically provided that the trustees,
Colonel Green and his sister, shall not
be required to file an inventory or sp-
praisement of the estate.
The will was probated without con-
test. Colonel Green filed a bond of
$50. 900 as trustee of the fund left TO
his sister, and Edward L. Walker and
Charles E. Capron, of Bellows Falls,
were appointed commissioners of the
estate.

his nurse for a drink Of water at ii

he was dead.
Death was due to stroke Of

James Whitcomb Riley was the poet
of the plain, everyday American. No
poet of his time had a greater hold
upon the affections Of the people of
this country. Many who were his most
ardent worshippers never had had any
use at all for poetry until he began TO
pour out his quaint old-fashioned
songs, using as his themes the simple
little things which appealed to him and
which he was sure also would appeal to
them.
He reflected the life of his kind. The
material he worked with was that he
found about him on every hand. The
streets of his native town, the dingy
little cottages, the gardens, weedy and
gone to seed; the young couples saun--
tering along the narrow sidewalk and
the laugh of the children at play.
These formed his material.

SHOT FIRED IN
U=BOAT HUNT
British Cruiser Uses
Gun-Bremen Said
to Be Near.
tBy Telegraph 20 The Tribune.

Norfolk, Va, July pa British
cruiser patrolling of Virginia Beach
fred a she'll across the bow Of some
vessel this morning. The incident
caused much excitement among hun
dreds of summer colonists who saw
the warship as she turned Immediately
after the report of her gun and dashed
full speed out to sea.
Some who witnessed to-day's incl
dent off Virginia Beach said she came
to a halt and evidently investigated the
status Of the craft she had halted and
that the ship was allowed to proceed.
Others insist that the warship con-
tinued to race out to sea and disap-
pesred.
Say Bremen Was Sighted.
There are some who believe that the
warship sighted the German undersea
merchantmen Bremen and fired shot
across her bow as signal TO surren-
der, but that the U-boat Immediately
submerged and made getaway. Naval
experts scout this theory, declaring
that the Bremen, if she is already off
the Capes, will not attempt to enter
the bay before nightfall.
From the same source that told two
weeks ago of the approach Of the
Deutschland came a prediction to-day
that the Deutschland's sister ship, the
Bremen, would pass in the Virginia
Capes before Monday.
There was no official authority for
the news, but it spread quickly and
generally was credited. Soon after
nightfall several vessels, some Of them
carrying newspaper correspondents and
photographers, started for Cape Henry
through a heavy rainstorm, hoping to
witness the arrival of the undersea
craft. IL was believed that If the boat
reached the coast during the night she
would head in Immediately. AS the
storm made conditions most favorable,
she was expected to 60 directly to Bal
timore, stopping only to pick up
Maryland pilot.
Ingenious Theory Advanced.
According to theories advanced to-
day, the Bremen and the Deutschland
will act in unison, as follows:
The Deutschland, which is expected
down from Baltimore early to-mor-
row, will boldly proceed TO the Capes
and remain there in full view Of the
Allied warships. Under cover Of dark
ness the Bremen is TO run in past these
ships, while submerged, and will quiet
ly come up alongside Of her sister
ship. simultaneously the Deutschland
will submerge and dash to sea. The
U-boats being exact counterparts, it Is
claimed that the British cruisers will
not detect that the Deutschland has
moved. Giving the Deutschland sew
eral hours start, the Bremen will then
enter the bay and proceed to Balti-
more.
Agents of the Bremen are also re-
ported 70 be cruising off the Capes to-
day, keeping an eye on the Allied war
ships and reporting for the benefit Of
the Deutschland, and possibly the Bre-
men.
