GENERAL WOOD TO STIR MILITARY
 SPIRIT IN SOUTH
Eight Hundred Yale Men Give Him Farewell
 Dinner.

New York, April 28-Declaring that he was going down South to do mili- tary mission work and that he would try to persuade Southerners to go to Plattsburg and other Northern mili- tary training camps, Major General Leonard Wood bade goodbye to eight hundred Yale men at the Yale Club.
 The Yale men gave the General an enthusiastic send off and divided the time between cheering and praising him in true Yale fashion with boolas and other yells, expressing their re- gret that he is to leave New York. He leaves next week for his new post at Charleston, s. c.
 eff it were not for the British navy German war ships would now be shoot ing up our coast, killing women and children" Frank H. Platt, president of the Yale Club, said. And yet Congress is debating whether we shall send 100000 trained men to repre- sent us in Europe, or send 100, 900 visiting firemen. It passes belief that men calling themselves representa- lives could be so stupid and unpatrio- tic.
 eff democrac means anything it means equality of opportunity" Gen. eral Wood said. we cannot have the opportunity and shirk the respon- sibility. The volunteer system is a failure, but the volunteer spirit is not. They are not the same thing. It is not fair nor safe to let the fine fel- lows rush to the colors and go away unprepared.
 '"The system of purchasing substi- tutes to fight, as was done in the civil war, was a 'damnab1e thing"
 Major F. Azam and Captain M. B. de Jarmy, of the French army and members of the French commission to this country. received enthusiastic receptions when they said they were proud and happy that the United States is to send men, to the battle fields of Europe.
 I've are sorry to have General Wood go," James R. Sheffield said. and the eight hundred indorsed the sentiment.

Germans Employing
 "Siamese Twin" Mines

Copenhagen, April 28-The Norwe- gian bark Thekla, which has safely reached Norwegian port, owes her escape from sinking in the war zone to the fact that the warning shot'' from a German submarine which ap- preached . her smashed both of the bark's lifeboats. This led the sub- marine commander, who was unable to take the crew on board. to spare the vessel.
 Vessels now arriving here report that the Germans are employing along the British coast a new system of "siamese twin'' mines, resulting in a double explosion, which is said to in. sure the instant destruction of any ship, no matter what her size.
