ENGLISH CHEER BATTLE HYMN
Julia Ward Howe's Glass; Received
Enthusiastically In London
Concert.

London.-An American surprise was
sprung on the fashionable audience at
the opening Of the annual series of so
called, popular concerts" which. for
generation have been a weekly fea-
ture of the musical season in London.
The soloist of the afternoon was Miss
Carrie Tubb, perhaps the most popu-
lar of native English prima donnas.
In response to the customary demand
for an encore, she sang with splendid
dramatic effect the famous Battle
Hymn of the Republic" When the
first notes Of the piano accompaniment
tinkled out there were some smiles
among the audience, who knew the air
principally as used by the Salvation
army to carry religious song in its
open-air meetings. But the intense
fervor of the singer swept all before
her. and the song was heard in breath.
less silence and hailed with enthusi-
astic applause.

Lose $1,000.

New York.-Burglary was the last
thing that Leon Lasansky and his fam
lily thought of when they left their
apartment on the fifth floor of the
house at 1855 Park avenue. And, be-
sides, the house was being watched by
detectives.
CASTOR Means, mentioned in connec-
ton with the affairs of Mrs. Maude A.
King, who was killed near Concord,
N. c., resided in one of the apart
ments there and detective eyes were
on all entrances.
When the Lasansky family returned,
however, they found the apartment
had been thrown topsy-turvy by bur
glars. Clothing, jewelry and silver
ware valued at $4,000 had been stolen.
Mr.. Lasansky Immediately notified the
police, who In turn told the detectives.

Won the War Cross.
Marcel Cuny, French youth of the
Two Hundred and Seventy-ninth regi-
ment, who lived in Chantilly before
the war, was also guest of the Shep-
ards after he had captured German
machine gun and six German prisoners
single-handed in the fierce fighting
along the Chemin DIES Danes. Cuny
is not yet twenty years old and had
just been sent to the front when he
performed the act Of gallantry which
won him the War Cross with a star
and a palm OF the ribbon. Cuny
crawled out In "No-Man's-Land" at
night on reconnaissance duty and
found shell hole between the two
belts of barbed-wire entanglements, oc-
cupied by the six Germans who were
acting as machine gun team. Cuny
was armed only with grenades, and as
he squirmed forward on his stomach
to the edge of the crater and raised a
bomb to throw in among the Boches,
they all six raised their hands and
cried, "Kamerade."
Cuny ordered them to the French
lines and made them carry their ma
chine gun with them. He took the
six steel German helmets off to Chan
tilly-he was granted nine days leave
for his bravery-and gave them es
souvenirs to the American ambulance
boys recuperating there.

MILITARY SALUTE A
RELIC OF KNIGHTH00D

Washington.-The military sa-
lutte had a curious origin, If the
tradition brought to light by
United States Marine corps off,
GERS at their headquarters here
may be believed. The navy SOL
diers say that the salute orig
mated in the days Of the tourna-
ment, at which a queen of beau
ty was chosen to preside. The
knights and their esquires and
all who took part in the tourney,
on presenting themselves before
the queen, lifted each one a hand
level with the brows as though
dazzled by the light of her pres
ence.
Although its significance has
been forgotten, that same salute
Is now used by military men In
recognition Of a superior rank,
the marine officers say.

CONSCRIPTED MAN IN
 NEW ZEALAND JUST AS
 GOOD AS VOLUNTEERS

Sydney, Australia. June 2S.-New Zealand troops bound eventually for the front were gathered in large num- bers in Sydney recently. The streets were alive with them; Stocky, soldier ly-looking youths whose uniforms contrasted markedly with those of Australian troops in that they wore tunics very like in cut those in use in the United States army and peaked "cow-puncher'' hats. Every arm of the Dominion military service was represented. The Maoris during a parade of the troops through the city attracted the particular attention of the onlookers The New Zealand Minister of Agriculture, w. D. S. Mac Donald, said of the troops, who were composed of both volunteers and con- scripts, and of the operation of the compulsory service law in New Zea- land:
 Although the conscription system is in force men still have the right to volunteer and it is always. found when men are called up that more than half are volunteers. In my own electorate they have never had occa- sion for a draft. They have always been able to find the quota through the voluntary system.
 New Zealand does not make the slightest distinction between its vol unteers and it's conscripts. To each class precisely the same privileges are accorded"
