HERO
FORMER SCOUT,
NOW A MILDLY

LONDON, Eng.-The story of the
midshipman of H. NJ. S. Broke, who
with an automatic revolver met sin
gle-handed a rush of frenzied Ger
mans from a rammed destroyer locked
in combat with Broke during the
Channel fight, on Friday. April 20, IS
as thrilling as any in the pages of the
classic sea romances beloved Of boys.
Boy scouts will feel a special pride
in the great deeds of the midshipman
hero, for Midshipman Donald A.
Gyl7s, like the famous Jack Cornwall,
was boy scout in his schoolboy days.
The midshipman is nineteen years
old. He is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. E.
J. Gyles, 141 Muswell avenue, Muswell
Hill, ", a district in which they lived
for twenty years. He was educated
at the Owens School in Islington anG
began his sea career with the White
Star Line as a cadet in the training
ship Mersey, in which he sailed
around the world. In his second year
at sea he was nominated to the navy
for a years training, and had just
been posted to a battleship when the
war broke out.
Since then he has been on active
service and has had plenty Of adven-
lures. He spent nineteen months in
the Mediterranean and was all
through the Da:danelles campaign, in
which he did good work. At the
landing Of the Australians at Gaba
Tepe he received two wounds; for
tunately neither was serious.
In November asst he came undec
the notice of Commander Z. R. G. r
Evans, who offered him a berth in
the Dover patrol, and he has been
there ever since.
He is now in a hospital on the
southeast coast recovering from a
rather severe wound just over the
eye.
Early IN the light the midshipman
was struck by fragment Of shrapneI
in the right eye and also wounded in
the right arm and right leg. He and
five other men manned the forecastle
gun. Describing his subsequent ex-
periences, the midshipman said:
While We were serving the gun
several Germans boarded up from the !
German destroyer We had rammed. |
yelling all the time for mercy and
shouting other things which we could |
not understand. They rushed along
the deck and endeavored to attack

Intervention Of Able Seaman Ingle-

Hun, settled him once and for all.
We threw his body overheard and
he disappeared. We cleared our

be faithful to her ally, Germany"
The new ruler said that he deplored

soldiers and the general deprivation

would be saving investment for the Kaiser if it
obtained him the truce he desperately de-
sires and thereby forestaled the just retribution
that is Fastening toward him.
While disclosures of pro-German schemes in
this country have come thick and fast since we en-
tered the war, it is doubtful that yet we have
more than scratched the surface of that farreach-
ing, deep-runnIng intrigue. Long ago the von-
Papens and Boy-Eds turned up, and lately
the l. w. VS. were brought to book. But these
were merely the slap-stckers in the Kaisers COM
pany this side. The Bolo Pasha evidence brings
us nearer to the protagonicts and leads US to won
der just how freely and effectively German gold is
still being spent to accomplish in America today
what that willy advepturer sought to accomplish
in France. and in this country well, some time
ago.
How many of the pro-German peace propa-
gandists have been Bolo-Pashaed?
How many Of the agitators against Seective
Service Bolo-Pashaed?
How many of the sneering critics of the Gov
eminent have been Bolo-Pashaed?
How many of those who try to beget distrust of
our allies particularly prejudice against England,
and who persist in exaggerating the wars casual
ties with a view to alarming disheartening the
people-how many of these have been Bolo-
Pashaed?
Some are playing the Kaiser's game for money,
some for notoriety some for what they consider
political advantage and some simply fools. But
whatever their motive their weakness, they are
all serving the same end and the same Hohenzol-
lern master. And they all laying up for them
selves the unforgetting, relentless judgment of the
American public whose heart ever was and ever
will be unwayeringly true.

Cattle Are Money!.

Discussing the wealth that awaits Georgia in
the development of livestock industries, the Sa-
vannah Morning News Interestingly reminds us
that in the earliest days Of human society the word
cattle became synonymous with money. Thus our
"pecuniary'' is from the Latin "pecunia," which
in turn came from 'pecus," meaning cattle. Sim
ilarly our capital came from "caput," head cat
tie, of course, being counted "by the head" The
Morning News also adverts to the custom of the
Homeric Greeks of reckoning all material values
in terms of cattle: Comparing the arms of Glau-
kos with those of Diomedes, Homer says that the
former were worth one hundred oxen, and the lat
ter only nine" 1t appears further that under the
laws OF Draco fines and rewards fixed in
oxen, and that parents with eye to profitable
marriages for their daughters received as dow
cries a certain number of cattle.
Herds are money no less than in that dim
past. Indeed. the richest of the ancient cattle
kings never dreamed OF such wealth the owner
of a few score head of Georgia porkers and beeves
can command in this day Of moon humping meat
II is frequently observed that in counties where
livestock raising has progressed and where pack
ing houses convenient the credit system is fast
yielding to a voluntary cash system. When
no ready money he doesn't have 1t charged" as
formerly; he simply sells a pig or two and gets
the money. Therein lies one of the peculiarly hap
by advantages of the farmer who instead of stalk
ing his all cotton, raises food crops and food
animals. He has income the year around. He
has money equivalent which be converted
into cash almost easily dollar bill be
changed into silver.

the Importance of having the best posi-
BILE hospital facilities for sick and wound
ed soldiers. May it also have the effect of rous-
ing public interest in hospitals for civilians.
Today there many splendid hospitals in
the United States and Canada But also there
many sadly inferior
Approaching this the American College OF
Surgeons some time ago started movement to
secure Standardization of hospitals in both coun-
tries. This movement has already been produc
tive of some good results.
But to get the best results an enlightened
public opinion must support the efforts Of the
College of Surgeons.
The trouble is that people do not think much
about the hospital question unless it is brought
directly home to them through illness in their
families.
Then, too often, they discover to their dismay
that the hospital to which they must send their
sick is far below the standard of what hospital
ought to be-
Perhaps they discover that it is like certain
hospital the Pacific coast, thus described by
Dr. John G. Bowman of Chicago:
I'm this hospital there about 800 beds. When
l visited it practically every bed in the building
was occupied. The construction beautiful,
expensive and adequate.
But what about the integrity of the institution
toward the patient?
There was not in that building a microscope
or anything that could by any stretch of the mag
inaton be called laboratory.
There was not inferno a house ply
stefan. There not case record of any kind
There odd X-ray machine, but
knew how to operate it,
They hoped to have laboratory by and by.
The superficial evidence at least was not such
as to inspire confidenct
Reading this statement, the old Biblical
phrase "whited sepulchre" comes instantly to
ones mind. Alas! Such hospital is for lamenta-
bly, many patients not place of cure, but merely
a stopping place on the way to an actual sepul-
chre.
And the United States and Canada are dotted
with hospitals little, of any, more deserving of
the name than this preposterOus institution
the Pacific coast.
There hospitals whose trustees much
like the bank directors who do not direct. These
trustees have the vaguest notions about their re-
sponsbiities to the public.
They do not even ask questions if the sur
geons in their hospitals operate bunglingly, as

Buving Bonds a Privilege.

Perpetuating national liberty plus the broaden
ing of democracy's endeavors to worldwide scope
is the actual and final analysis of every bond pur-
chased by citizens of state and nation. Abstractly,
this is the epitome Of grating commercialsm; con-
cretely and inversely each subscription to the gov
ernment's call for money represents the highest
type of sound business. And underlying every
Liberty Bond the leavening grace of true patriot
ism and love of country without which people
may permanently endure. In a crisis of such grave
potentiality the buying of bonds by rich and poor
rises to the supreme height of privilege and in the
process envelopes the impeccable trinity-duty,
obligation and love. Buy bond!
In lending money to the government we
literally are supplying gallant and beloved SOL
diers and valiant seamen with arms, money and
clothing in order that they may maintain our ma
tional integrity and in this devout accomplishment
perpetuate and broaden the principles for which
our forbears fought and conquered. We also are
providing money for the of soldier and sailor
and the monthly allowances for the support of
their dependents, and to give them life insurance

rious contamination.
And no clearer summing up of why are
fighting and what fighting for has been
given than that of Secretary McAdoo:
We fight, first of all, for Americas vital
rights, the rights to the unmolested and un-
INSTRUCTED of the high seas, so that the
surplus products of our farms, our mines and
our factories may be carried into the harbors
of every friendly nation in the world. Our
welfare and prosperity people depend
upon our right of peaceful intercourse with
all the nations of the earth. To abandon
these rights by Withdrawing ships and
commerce from the seas upon the order of
military despot in Europe would destroy
prosperity and bring disaster and humiliation
upon the American people.
We fight to protect citizens against
assassination and murder upon the high
while in the peaceful exercise of those rights
demanded by international law and every in
stinct and dictate of humanity.
To which may be added that we fight for a
fair and universal peace, a peace that will rid

been and give to mankind the splendid doctrine of
equal rights to all and special privileges to none.
