fer his son the evangelist is
deeply interested in the SOL

became one of the organizers Of the Radi-

refusal is based on their alleged knowl-

which the Berlin government has created

An Admiral in a Minute

CIR ERIC GEDDES, now, as First Lord
y of the Admiralty, head of the Brit
ish naval administration, is a Scots
man, born in India and trained in Amer
lea. The story of his extraordinary career
g told in detail by Judson c. Welliver, in
the current "Munsey's Magazine"
at forty-two years this man has come TO
stand forth as probably the foremost master
Of the art Of coordinating industry and trans
port with military organizations.
"Six feet plus of typical John Bull. smooth
shavon. squarejawed sinewy, sat behind q
big desk in the big marble building labelled
Controller of the Admiralty He didn't
seem very busy; those who know his ways
of working say that like so many other men
who DO big things and lots of them, he never
does seem very busy. His desk was immacu-
lately neat and orderly. If business ever
gets ahead of him he manages to keep the
evidence Of il somewhere else than on that
brcad-topped desk"

TO Britain and received his education in

drive in avoiding the shells that continued
TO follow them. The pilot kept her nose
down little as he went, so as TO obtain
the maximum speed, but when he began
to run out of range of the "Archies" and
leave their smoke bursts well astern he
tilted up and pushed straight west at top
speed, but on a long climb that brought
him up a thousand feet mile Presently
he felt the signal cord looped about his
arm jerk and jerk again, and fitting the
machines nose slightly downward he shut
off his engine and let her glide and twisted
round to the observer.

the law, so.
"Unablc TO modify paternal insistence, the
Young man got aboard boat and worked ms
way to America.
AT this time young Gedde. was seventeen
He found his way out to Homestead, Penn''
and went to work for Andrew Carnegie
though it is doubtful IL he realized at the
time what that distinction meant"
When he had acquired all the experience
he thought he needed in rolling mill, he
started out to learn the lumber business in
a Western lumber camp A few years later
he returned to England, but as it seemed
rather too cramping he Immediately
packed his kit and departed for Australia.
On board ship he met man who advised
him to get off with him at Ceylon, instead,
and learn tie sugar business. He did; but
sugar soon proving uninteresting he
moved on to India, where he became man
ager Of big forestry enterprise Here is
where his numbering experience in Amer
lea proved useful. The lumber roads he
tuilt we're ultimately absorbed by one Of
the Indian railway systems, of which be-
fore he was thirty years old he became
traffic manager.
Soon after this he learned that the
North Eastern Railway of England had a
vacancy in prospect in its claims depart
ment. Geddes resigned his position imme
oiately, took the first steamer for England
and got the job. When the war broke out
in 1914 he was general manager of the
North Eastern. The next thing he knew the
government had made him chairman Of the
central committee Of railway authorities
for the mobilization Of the northern dis
trict. Then he was given an important
post in the munitions department,
after six months in charge Of the as
sembling Of munitions, Geddes had worked
himself out Of a Job. There was nothing
more for him to suggest or improve. 8.
Lloyd George discovered that the she'll filling
business was able to stand on its own legs,
so one day last August he sent for Geddes
and told him that he was to 90 TO France to
organize the construction Of roads and rail-
ways behind the trench lines"
Next he was made director general Of
transportation in all theatres of war, later
being sent TO organize the traffic of all the
ports of Britain and France.
"All this time Geddes had been honor
airy colonel. That was the only rank he ever
held. until one day he gazetted for
promotion 20 the full rank of major general.
He has never been a colonel, never briga-
der. In his capacity as director general OF
TRANSPORTATION he sent a commission TO the
East. and was getting matters in Egypt and
Macedonia Strengthened out when il was sud

qualifications was needed 70 act controller

With this appointment, he was created
