THE OSBORNE INVESTIGATION.

It has been expected that Thomas Mott Osborne would render the high grade of service in connection with his investigation of the conditions in federal prisons that he gave while he was warden at Sing Sing. It Is a cause in which he is deeply interested and prison reform is receiving greater attention every day throughout the country. In keeping with the start which he made at Sing Sing Mir. Os- borne has now started in at the na- val prison at Portsmouth, N- H., to spend a week in the cells with the others wear the same kind of a uni form and receive the same food and
 treatment. This is done that he can get first hand information as to the actual conditions and thereby be the better prepared to urge any reforms.
 That he ought to gather some val uab1e information by such method cannot be doubted. but if it is to be expected that he is to receive the same kind of attention, without any favor itism or extras, it would seem as if the announcement regarding such test should come at the close thereof rather than at the beginning. Those in charge of the prison should have no Knowledge of the plan. He should be committed from a point where his identity would not be known and the investigation permitted to go on with out the warden or the attendants be- ing conscious of the fact that they were under surveillance. Otherwise it is reasonable to suppose that such things as come to his attention will be of a different character from what ordinarily goes on. There is no req son, if the best results are aimed at, why such an investigation should have an advance press agent attached.

Dueouts Become Death Traps.

The dugouts of the Germain lines, some of which have been marvels of underground construction. are be- coming. more and more frequently death traps or tombs for their hap less occupants. The trench raids which go on nightly from one end of the British lines to the other. are con- ducted largely for the purpose of No estimate is possible for the num- Der of the enemy killed in this man ner.
 When khaki raiding party pounc- es over the parapet of a German trench in the dead of night. the first alarm of their presence sends the de- lending soldiers impulsiyely in the direction of their dugouts. Once in There is a call for surrender, a req sonable wait, and then down goes bomb, and as many more as may be necessary to completely wreck the place and set it on fire. There have been cases where dugouts have been connected up by tunnels and Germans have escaped through these, but gen erally speaking the dugouts stand alone. Crouching in the far recesses of a gallery in one of these the enemy soldiers very often will not surrender when the first bomb is tossed in, but later they are glad to get out alive. Sometimes they have to be dug out by their captors.
 The story is told of French Can- adian who was in "mop-up" sec ton of the raiders one night. Ap- preaching dugout which looked en- tirely deserted he stuck his head in the doorway and called out:
 Any person down there?"
 No response.
 T say. Is any person down there? Last cali for any person down there"
 Again no reply. So the Canadian tore the safety pin out of a grenade and sent 1t hurtlinE into the dark. The echo of the explosion had not died away when he heard sepulchral cries from below: "Kamerad, Kamerad." Twenty-two Germans were later lift ed out of the debris at the entrance to that cave.
 In some of their recent fighting, as at Beaumont-Hamel,t the British have had to face two distinct battles. one overland and one underground. They have advanced to . point where they suddenly realize they are almost as many of the enemy behind them as in front Then comes the work of clean

Cheap Jewslry in EngIand

There is a boom in England just now in the cheaper kinds of jeWe.Ty. which Is attributed to the increaHe J earnings of those engaged on muni- tions of war. The demand for wrist watches has been especially heavy. This has led to a practically new line of business with Switzerland which sent Great Britain last month S4,0S5 gold watches and S4.390 gold watch cases, and since the first of 1916 % total of 261, ,597 watches and 390,9l0 cases to be made up there. The latest governmental order has killed this trade, as it prohibits the importation of gold, but no mention is made in the order of silver watches. The trade is trying to secure a modification of the order.
