South African Troops Are
SERVING First Winter in War

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
With South African Contingent of
British Armies in France. Jan. H.
South African troops-rnen from the
mines and farms of the gold country
are now serving their first winter in
the field of France and are distin-
gushing themselves with many deeds
of daring and valor. Some of them
fought against Britain in the Boer
war, and among them there are sew
eral Americans who had made their
homes in the African mining fields.
One of the most thrilling exploits of
the South Africans was the recent
act Of young subaltern.
During the night operation he be.
came separated from his company and
found himself inside the German
lines. After time he picked UP six
more men OF his company who had
become similarly detached. When
dawn came the little group found it.
self practically surrounded by Ger
mans. The young subaltern found
that his rifle and those of his COM
rades had become so clogged with
mud that they wouldn't work, but he
drew his revolver and as the first
German approached he shot him dead.
A German sergeant who started for
ward was also killed. and as day
light came two of the subaltern's
companions got their rifles working
and succeeded in killing twelve mem
bers of the surrounding party and
capturing twenty-five. Forming their
German prisoners into ring, the
South Africans got inside of the cir

British Furnish Gymnasium
And Pool for Prisoners

Correspondence OF The Associated Press,)
Douglas, Isle of Man, Jan, ,.
There has been sarcastic comment
in the British newspapers about the
huge swimming pool and luxuriously
equipped gymnasium which the gov
eminent provides for its war prisoners
at the Cunningham camp. The pool
is about 100 feet long and is housed
in an ornate building Of gaudy stucco,
and the gymnasium is as large and as
well equipped as that at Yale univer-
sity.
Cunningham camp, before it was
taken over for prisoners, was sum
mer school and recreation camp for
English school boys, The swimming
pool and gymnasium were retained,
and have naturally proved popular
features with the prisoners. With a
few exceptions, every man in the
camp visits the swimming pool at
least once week. The average daily
attendance at the gymnasium is well
over 1000.

Lord Beresford Thinks
The Naval Policy Is Poor

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
London, Dec. 2l.-Lord Charles
Beresford's latest pronouncement on
naval matters is plea for thorough
and far-reaching reconstruction OF
Great Britain's entire naval policy. In
an appeal to the British public he
says:
"The present position with regard to
the future supply of our food and raw
materials is, in my opinion, one OF
unparalleled gravity. Any hiatus in
the lines of communication of our
ocean-borne traffic would create an
appalling state of affairs, particularly
as we shall soon have to take steps to
revictual the country.
The new strategy and tactics that
have been developed in submarine
warfare, changing the area of attack
from headlands and shallow waters to
the deep sea, require strategy and tao
tics to meet and beat these develop
ments. Submarine warfare in its fresh
manipulations must have definite sys-
tematic measures for its suppression
"The navy has been hampered by
political exigencies involving in many
cases a policy of defense instead Of
attack. Take the case with regard to
the arming of merchant ships. As
the armament consists of gun
mounted astern, British merchant
ship, on seeing a submarine, has to
put its helm up, expose its broadsides
or largest target to the submarine,
and run away in order to get its gun
to bear, increasing its range every sec
ond, making it more difficult to hit
the enemy and adopting method
totally opposed to British traditions
and particularly disgusting to the gal.
liant officers and men of the mercan-
tile marine by assuming an attitude
of defense instead of attack. The ira
ditional policy which has made the
British empire what it is has been at
tack, and always attack, at sea.
There may be diplomatic diff
culties connected with the arming OF
merchant vessels for attack, but surely
these difficulties could easily be sur.
mounted Germany has directly chal.
lenged us, and has cut and stopped
our route to Holland, short distance
of about eighty miles. The war staff
should Immediately set to work to de.
wise means for opening he line Of
communication between this country
and Holland.

Ireland's Bank Deposits
Reflect New Prosperity

Correspondence of The Associated PressJ
Belfast, ireland, Jan. 4.-The CONF
bined balance sheets of the big Irish
banks having their head Offices at Bel-
fast indicate that Ireland is in an cx-
ceedingly prosperous position. There
has been an unprecedented expansion
in deposits, investments and cash on
hand, while the decrease in advances
to customers and bills discounted
seems to indicate that business men
are to a larger extent than ever
financing their business from their
own pockets.

Dry advocates were jubilant. Rep.
