ening, and I backed away slowly until I was crowded out of the room. That was the end of my schedule, and the next day Jim Grant went home, sick. And as the schedule didn't go into effect. the chief superintendent sent for me. Now 1t began to look like another discharge. But when I told of the ex- citing scene with Grant egging on the men, the superintendent said he was sorry I had gone through such an ex- perience. That was my chance, and l had been waiting for 1t.
 Why not give me chance to run that branch liner I suggested. What, you, mere boy, as superin- tendent?'
 Give me a chance; I can do it, I urged.
 He thought it over and finally sent me to look after the line temporarily. And there I stayed and Grant never came back"
 That was the start of Sir Albert s steady rise. until he was handling the whole railway system of Detroit and for 70 miles around and across the river in Canada. Then came the big New Jersey consolidation, which appealed to him for the vastness of it's physical and financial purposes, and he became the directing head of it. Later on, a financial com pany in Boston thought he would be a
 
 look after the underground and traction affairs in which it was interested. He came to London, becoming finally head of It's huge transportation system.
 Sir Albert was asked if he liked being an American bluejacket, wearing the American uniform and eating the rations of Uncle Sam
 ''Yes, and had prize money, beside :, he said. We escorted the troop ships carrying the first American army that landed in Cuba, and after that we were attached to Admiral Sampson's squadron at Santiago. Our ship. the Yosemite, was an old merchant steamer hastily trans formed into an auxiliary cruiser. She wasn't very steady and the first time we fired broadside she nearly tipped over. It was while we were with the Sampson squadron that a Spanish ship came along and we captured her, getting the prize money It's a remarkable fact which has occurred to me during the present war; that while we were there in Cuban waters we thought nothing of picking up floating mines and freeing them from the ships tackle. none of them ever exploding"
 Comparing conditions in tho United States and England, in industry. rail- ways, public utilities, etc, Sir Albert takes the view that the old world has learned much and is profitinE greatly public service on this side is quite abrea st of that in America. In one respect. he says, conditions are better over here. as the British public is singularly sympa- thetic and appreciative of anything done for their welfare and comfort, whereas it was his experience in America that the mixed population made people fa F less appreciative of what the public serv ice concerns were trying to do for them.
 On the whole, however, the new cabinet minister is an admirer of American meth ods, American energy and American characteristics in general. And in the estimate of that new and vital force In British affairs. the new prime minister. Lloyd George, it was the Americanism of Sir Albert and the everlasting push he showed to .'get on top that brought him into the British cabinet.

MAGAZINE IS NOW
 PUBLISHED IN THE {. ESK|MOS' INTEREST
Teachers in Alaska Are Try ing to Tell World About People of North
 ern Climes

Washington December IA farthest
 north magazine, published near the Arc
 tic circle, has made it's appearance under
 the title ''The Eskimo and is devoted to the interests of Eskimos of the north western district of Alaska It Is pub lished at Nome by teachers and others of the United States bureau of educa- tion who have been formally congra tu- lated by P. P Claxton, United States commissioner of education, for their en- terprise
 In the leading article of it's first issue, written by Superintendent Walter C. Shields of the education bureau, it says: The Eskimo is not dependent On tho contrary, he Is. even in his present condi- tion, a real and vital factor in the wealth of the country He has never received a ration from the government; he can sup port himself, not always according to our standards, it is true, but It is better for him to eat strictly native food than for him to learn 10 expect the government to support him.
 "'The vail so often heard from ignorant but presumably charitable people, Why don't you give the poor people some food?' if needed, would make paupers out of self supporting and noble race. We are proud of the fact that we have not fed the Eskimo. We are proud of him as a man because he feeds himself.
 One reason why primitive races have So often been pushed to the wall by the white race has been that the white race has coveted and needed the land. As far as We can see, for years to come the white man will not make any attempt to push the Eskimo off his part of the map. While there W i'll undoubtedly be develop ments in mining, yet for a long time to come the Eskimo will have plenty Of room in northern Alaska. Therefore, even if this northern part of Alaska. through some unexpected development, should become desirable for large white population, we believe that with what de- veopment the Eskimo has already re- ceived and the additional development, that even five years more of undisturbed possession of his northern fastnesses will give him. he will be well fitted to meet advanced economic conditions.
 eve of the Alaska school service are helping to bear the white mans burden; we do not claim to be ministering to a dying race; we want no praise as helpers of the weak or as ministers to the down. trodden who are dying in filth and degra- dation. We dc not allow anyone to class us in these categories. That class of work is entirely humanitarian and is property the duty of the missionary or ganjzations. Rut as representatives of the government we claim the right of our service to exist because we are develop ing the resources of northern Alaska just as much as any man with pick and pan We are adding to the wealth of the na- tion just as much and as surely as any prospector or tralmaker. We are making a country productive just as much as any reclama ton project that was ever man. aged by the government"

WHY LLOYD GEORGE WANTED AMERICAN

Premier Came Near Getting His Desires When He Se- lected Stanley for the

London, January 10.-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press. )-Ameri- can business experience is what Lloyd George was looking for when he up set all traditions and appointed Sir Albert Stanley as minister of com merce and president of the Board of Trade in the new cabinet.

 This crowded 25 years of very active American experience into the life of Albert Stanley-the plain name by which he was known at the old Duff field school in Detroit-and flushed With his successes. he came to Eng land to put his American training to practical use in the business world here, becoming manager of that vast system of surface and underground trarfic in LoDdon-the greatest in the World-known as the London Consoli- dated Underground and General Mo torbus Association, Limited.

Sleeping on Water

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 One of the things needed by physi- clans Is bed that can be heated or cooled according to the needs of the patient. and one that a patient can lie upon for months, if necessary, without getting bed sores. An inventor has filled this want with what he calls a water bed.
 The bottom and sides of the bed are built of galvanized steel, and the top is made of rubbered canvas When this is filled with water it makes as soft mattress as anyone could de- sire. A reservoir is stationed at the head of the bed, which holds enough water to make the pressure in the mattress the same at all points

Elaborate Trench System Aids the
 First Arizona M Perfecting It's
 Introduction to Modern Wdrfdre
(Written for The Review By Chester
 A. Johnson.)

(Written for The Review By Chester
 A. Johnson.)
 Trench construction and trench war fare are no longer unknown quantities to the members of the First Arizona infantry. encamped at Naco. During the last week the border camp of the Fighting First" has been transformed into a veritable behind-the-firing-l line training camp and the boys in the regi- ment are now drilling daily under con ditions as near to actual warfare as can be provided in a section thousands of miles from the real scene of the gi- gantic conflict that will determine the fate of democracy and liberty.
 Although there have been few dull moments at the camp of the First Ari- zona during the last few months, the training has been even more intensi- fled until, at present, practically every minute of the day is being utilized by both enlisted men and officers to ac- quire as thorough knowledge as pos sible of every movement, weapon and condition characterizing the struggle in Europe, in which the regiment hopes to become a factor before many more months roll by. Ask any member of the camp what national guard regi- ment is the best drilled and has the best knowledge of what f. is going to bump up against" in France and he will answer: "The First Arizona" And, if you doubt his word, he will invite you to watch the Arizona boys drill and go through their daily routine. It is a safe bet that you will soon agree with him, for the regiment is careful ly ,udying every angle of modern war fare and is rapidly learning that each angle has about a hundred smaller angles tackled onro it, and these have to be studied just as carefully.
 A New Order.
 One rookie" described the new or der of training well several days ago when he turned to the corporal of his squad and blurted out: "Dawg-gone it, corporal, it takes brains to be sol dier nowadays" He was right. Brawn will help soldier but brains will help him more. And each man in the reg iment is rapidly developing into fight ing machine that, unlike the German soldier, will be able to fight individual ly should he be in the position where he could not communica ,e with or re- ceiye the orders of officers or non coms' of his command. But, of course, he is first of all thoroughly schooled in the matter of discipline while under fire. for the soldier of today is not a man who carries his rife and fires at will, but wheel in a great, perfected war machine that must turn smoothly with every other wheel most of the

time and yet be able ro keep on turn ing should the machinery be torn apart.
 No Mans Land.
 As the greatest of all factors in the present struggle is trench warfare, the First Arizona has transformed strip of land between the railroad tracks south of the camp, and the border into a Flanders battlefield. A complete trench system hsa been constructed and, although it is the first the regi- ment has ever dug, it was so carefully laid out that even the firing trenches and outposts cannot be detected from a few yards. Sanding in the area that constitutes No mans Land'', one can look in every direction and see nothing but sage-bush mesquite and what appears to be sandy waste. Ad- vancing a short distance, however, one stumbles into a deep trench. If this is followed one of the most complete trench systems ever constructed in this country for military training is discovered. And should the signal be given hundreds of men armed with rifles, bayonets' bolos, machine guns, dummy hand grenades and other weap- ons will spring out of the ground as if, like Topsy, they had just growed there" and rush toward an imaginary enemy as if they had been practicing trench fighting for months.
 Ditches and Caves.
 To anyone who has never swung a pick or shovel to any great extent the trench system at Naco might seem to be just few ditches and caves" But to the members of the regiment it rep resents more than hours of labor under France. It was only few days ago that the entire regiment was marched out one morning, evidently for a long hike. After walking a few minutes, however, the companies halted. A wagon loaded with picks and shovels numbered into view and a groan went up from the soldiers Picks and shov- els in large quantities usually presage hard work and this turned out to be true in this case. The soldiers watch ed the unloading of the wagon with dis nal looks. But at that time they didn't know exactly what was going to happen. Soon they noticed lines of stakes running in every direction. Of ficers produced blue prints and scan- ned them. Then there was no doubt what was in the air.
 "Ahai" shouted one of the boys, Take off your false whiskers-I know yuh' We're going to dig trenches"
 And they did If the richest ore body in the world had lain under the surface of that strip of almost desert

Sour Stomach,

East slowly, masticate your food thoroughly, abstain from meat for a few days and in most cases the sour stomach will disappear If it does not, take one of Chamberlain's Tablets lm- mediately after supper. Red meats are most likely to cause sour stomach and you may find it best to cut them out.

Other Features.

There are scores of other features connected with the trenches that are proving of interest and benefit to the First Arizona. Daily drills are be- coming exciting and losing their iIk- some features, if there ever were any. Each company is learning trench wdr- fare with real trenches to work in and out Of. And, when the regiment gets to its new training quarters, it is doubtful if it will encounter any other national guard organization that knows more about modern warfare.
 If there is any person who still be- lieves that the life of a soldier is easy and tiresome let he or she visit Naco some morning or afternoon and watch the boys in action. Each trench is 6 feet 6 inches deep and. if all were stretched out in straight line they would cover a front of 230 yards.
