Major Edgar T. Collins, of the
united States army who has Just
peen named to the general staff. is
brother of Emerson Collins, Deputv
attorney General, and of Herman i.
collins, of the PHILADELPHIA Public
Ledger Major Collins was in com
mand at Plattsburg part of last wear
and has had a notable career of SER
vice IN the army. 1t is interesting to
note that he was born in the Lycom-
ing county township adjoining Cen
eral George Fl. Dodd, the man who
chased villa into the mountains.
Captain Raymond w. Briggs, an
other Pennsylvania officer to go un
, the ladder, has a number of friends
mere. He Is now in France with
Pershing and can be expected to do
something worth while. He is a son
of Prof. ]. S. Briggs, Of Norristown
and served in the Philippines, being
III charge OF Aguinaldo after the
short lived insurrection. He was also
stationed for a time at Nagasaki and
was then on the Mexican border.
Captain Briggs accompanied Chair
man w. d. B. Ainey, of the Public
Service Commission. on the latter's
trip across Siberia to Petrograd dur
ing the early days of the war. When
he left Mr.. Ainey he went to Bel
gium and travelled all through IL
during the German occupation and
was in Antwerp and Brussels after
their capture. He observed the Ger
man army under conditions which
fell to the lot of few men.
People who have been prone To
, stroll along the river front in the
evenings have found that IL is differ
ent in war time. The alert young
gGardsmen at the bridges are very
polite, but you can not get within
sixty feet of the structures on any
condition, and If you stop to admire
the view you are asked to move on,
War and strolling do not fit we'll
together.
