IIARRY STRANGE, former

good word for the Y. NJ. C. A.

1000 yards from the German line

waiian music and Hawaiian pine
apples. His letter to A. f. Lari
mer of the Y. NJ. c. A., follows:

ments is occupying a Shelled
home in the village OF (deleted

of it for nothing.
You cannot imagine the lux
ury Of hot coffee after coming
from the trenches. You will
find these little refreshment
huts everywhere close up behind
the lines and in spite of numer?
Gus casualties the workers stick
to it.
There is a writing pad and
pen and ink always available
and the old chap who is running
it says to all the boys he serves:
Haven't you time to write home?
Farther back are literally
thousands of very elaborate huts
capable of seating up to 1000

cinemas run every night, usually
free for men. Sports and games
are organized and l assure you
that the Y. NJ. c. A. here is a.
source of much comfort to the
boys, and is much appreciated by
them. There is a great craze for
Hawaiian music among the
troops"

instances where evidence has been

CASE
DROPPED BY u. 5,

Federal officials have dropped the

irving on the Matsonia yesterday as
q stowaway, was taken to. the office
Of U. s. Attorney S. c. Huber by De.
tective Captain Arthur McDuffie to as.
certain whether he was attempting to
evade the draft.
In taking the young man into Gus.
tody Detective Captain McDuffie gave
more weight to a suspicion that Hol-
lerson might have been attempting to
evade draft, then he did to a suspi-
cion that he was a Stacker"
Captain McDuffie stated his case to
the district attorney, who asked Hol-
lerson for hts registration card. Hol-
lerson produced it, showing that he
had registered in San Francisco for
military service. IIe told the district
attorney that he had come to Homo
lulu fo- trip, as this was his home,
and that he stood ready to go back
to the coast if he was drafted into
the army and called up for a prelim-
mary examination as to his fitness.
Hollerson said he understood that
the government did not bear the bur.
den Of informing him if he was draft.
ed. Attorney Huber replied that he
was right, and that he would have
to inform himself Hollerson then
said that he would write Immediately
to the proprietor of a San Francisco
restaurant, where he had been en-
ployed, and ask the proprietor to in
form him at once If he was drafted.
He added that he would 60 back as
soon as he was called.
The young man was then released,

Looked Like Greeley,

BlackmOre, the author of Lorna
Doone," is said to have resembled
Horace Greeley. Several inches over
six feet, with a large, beautifully
shaped head, on which his hair tossed
wavingly, he wore beard shaved
away from his upper lip and chin, so
that it framed his face, which was as
rosy as a girls. His eyes were full Of
twinkling humor and kindness, and
there was always about him a sense of
the outdoors-of great, calm spaces,
winds and fragrances. He dressed
carelessly in lOOse-fitting clothes, TAX
ing no trouble to keep in the fashion.
His voice was low and musical, and
his manners had a touch of Old-world
courtesy and distinction. He was ut
terly sincere, and would never pre-
tend to agree to anything because
someone else advocated it. His opin-
ions were strong and clear, and he
stood by them unwaveringly. He was
thoroughly English, thoroughly low
able; big, quiet, shy man, who loved
to tramp all day over the moors or to
work over his trees and bushes; who
wrote because he loved writing, and
who was astOunded at the fame and
fortune brought to him by his great
book.
