may think of me around here. Up : man, but where brains and ability predominate l am recognised" Civ ing an insight into the reasons he was selected by pr. Rusky for such an ex- petition. von Hoegen says: He has Epicked me out because of my ability and my experience in Africa. You can appreciate that an enterprise of this sort must be based on keen in- sight. education and brains" And then comes the climax. The whole expedition must go to smash IT von Hoegen Is held here. He says so himself Listen: Now, mind you, I don't mean to insinuate that the Americans are too, cowardly to go down there without me. I don't mean that at all. I'm just telling you that am needed with that corps of experts and that if I am held up the
 whole expedition will be held up and
 the army and the navy won't get the
 quinine.
 It is easily seen now what, will
 happen unless the State Department
 discovers the greatness of von Hoegen.
 He is the only man in a country of
 1O0. .00O. 900 people who can lead such
 an expedition to South America. He
 Is the only man who can procure tho
 quininc for the United States army
 and navy. Of course. 1t may be pre-
 stunned that the State Department knows of von Hoegen's greatness. To
 be sure the officials know of hts past connections with the German propo-
 gandists in this country, notably his the disgraced military attache for- merly on duty at the German embassy in Washington. Knowing these things. and some other facts in the possession Department of Justice. also. the Secret Service, 1t is safe to say that the State Department knows what is best for the country and has decided that von Hoegen Is better or ip this country under the watchful eyes of government sleuths. To be sure the Army and the Navy need quinine. But when these two branches of Uncle Sans fighting forces call for quinine they want to be sure they get quinine. and not some other drug. The greater the men are the greater chances the government takes, and the Government has now adopted the old railroad slogan, Safety First" For the time being won Hoegen must hide his light under a bushel.

The Coeporal's Importance in Extend-

The Corporal's Importance in Extend-
 ed Order.
 We have seen that, as the squad Is initiated into extended order the men- ton of the corporal becomes more frequent. In the same degree, his inn portanc increases. For, while cor poral commands a squad in close or der to limited extent, he exercises more authority and discretion when 1t Is deployed in a line of skirmishes. He then has the responsibility for the conduct and safety of his men under varying conditions and rules far less mnutely prescribed.
 If the new soldier. in verdant ig- norance, has been inclined to resent the corporal and his exercise of au- ,thority heretofore, he will appreciate it distinctly now. For, exactly as the rules of extended order work are less out and dried than in close order. generally speaking, the new soldier now feels the need for encouragement and guidance. The function of cor poral is to encourage and instruct as Welll as command his mon.
 The basis of the resentment which the new soldier may at first develop against a corporal or sergeant lies in the fact that the non-commissioned officer, save for two or three stripes on the arm, shoulders his gun and plugs along in the line just like a private. The ''rookie' therefore dis likes to be ''bossed around" as he finds himself in extended order. how ever, and loses the sense of mutual support that comes from standing shoulder to shoulder as in close or der, the new soldier becomes exceed ingly grateful for constant admonition, instruction and command from the corporal. These act as a prop. They do a vast amount toward filling up the fifteen inches of vacancy to either side of him.

'BRITISH OFFICER
 PROVES IMPOSTER
DefRaqded Hotel But Was Ex.
 posed Before Wedding

New York, May 17.-It was learned yesterday from Gus Coughlan, assist ant manager of the Hotel Martinique, that the hotel had been swindled by the same self-styled British navy of ficer" who had all but Married Miss Katherine Miller of Flushing, l.. l.. when his romantic scheme was inter- rupted by the discovery of his fraud.
 Although the hotel lost about $250. Coughlan thinks the management has an excuse. inasmuch as several army officers, who are supposed to know more about uniforms than civilians, were also imposed upon by the plau- sible inposter. Stuart was seen on several occasions in the bar of the hotel drinking with officers, but his absolute ease of manner and lack of overacting set at rest any suspicious the men might have had.
 It was not until real British com mander, who does not wish his name disclosed. investigated that the impo- sition was brought to light. He im- mediately notified Thompson Miller, the prospective brides father. The navy officer" made quick departure from the Miller home, and has not been seen since.
 British consulate officials are chary of the whole sorry proposition and little inclined to discuss it. Ono of them said yesterday that in England the impersonation of a navy or army officer Is an extremely serious offense.
 Members of the Broadway Country club of Flushing, where Miss Miller is said to have met the supposed heutenant-commander, have started an investigation to ascertain how the man came to attend the military dance given at the club on April 2. Reports that he was presented by army off, cers from Fort Totten are emphat- ically denied. The board of govern ors announced last night that he was taken in by one of the club members.
 Wedding Is Abandoned.
 No wedding bells were rung for Miss Miller yesterday, and she is thought to have secluded herself in her home. Although the maid who answered tho door of the Miller home said the fam lily was out of town, neighbors said they had seen the girl about the house. Preparations for the ceremony had been completed to the last detail, ex- cept for the purchasing of the license. A brother of the bride-to-bc came from the upper part of the *tate to be present at the marriage of his sis ter to British naval officer"
 Since members of the Broadway club have been discussing the imposition of the affable stranger 1t has been disclosed thats several of them lost varying amounts of money in loans. It appears that Stuart" confded to several how he had inad- vertently left his wallet at his New York hotel. Even this did not cause the clubmen to suspect him.

GET OUT IN THE OPEN.

Statistics arc almost always dry.
 often uninteresting. and sometimes
 woefully misleading. Yet they are ever worthy of examination. Espe-
 cially Is this so In the case of data gathered together by the life insur-s ance companies who have in their
 possession facts regarding the mor-
 tality of the race. As their field of
 endeavor comprises the human race,
 what they have to present fin figures
 must be correspondingly interesting.
 The Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.,.
 following a custom inaugurated some time ago. has published statistics on
 deaths among it's policy holders. and
 in these figures are to be found some very interesting facts. For instance.
 we have this contrast: The death
 age among those who work in offices,
 such as bookkeepers, etc., is placed
 at 36h years,-lower than any other
 given. The death age of men who
 lead out-door lives, farmers and farm
 hands, Is given at 6sh years. There
 is a difference of twenty-two years in
 the death ages. Of course, this is an average death age in each case
 There are some farmers who die at
 the age of twenty-ono. just as there are some boolkespers, as in the case of
 old Poole in, s'Dr. Jeckyl & MT. Hyde".
 who live to be almost one hundred
 years. But the fact remains that the
 average death ago among the book
 keepers and those who work in offices
 is lower than the average death age of those who toll in tho open air. There must be some answer. To our way of thinking, it is given in this fact: Thirty five per cent. or more than one-third tho bookkeepers, clerks. and onice assist 1 ants, who had taken Sout policies in
 the Metropolitan died from tuber-
 culosis. What though the average 1 office is a sumptuously furnished place. fitted with all the conveniences 1 of modern life? What though the ! ventilation system h superb? It can- not compare with the great out-of- doors.

Favor Sending These Troops To Europe.
 New Britain. Conn. May 16. 1917. To the Editor of the Herald:-
 read with a great deal of regret your editorial in this evenings paper, entitled, Keep Them Home." I say with regret because 1t appears to me the writer goes out his way to be- little the quality of patriotism, a patriotism so much needed and yet so much lacking at the present time. A certain number of citizens in this country are willing to accompany Colonel Roosevelt to France and give their lives If need be to their coun- try in order that its honor may be preserved. It is this band of noble men whom you have seen fit to apply the appelation of "Ragamuff1ns." Do you thing for moment that these men think they are going on a picnic in going to France? No indeed! These men realize that many of them would never reurtn alive and yet in spite of this fact they are willing to volunteer to fight for their country. Does 1t not strike you MT. Editor that it is i'll becoming at this time to call such true spirited. red blooded American citizens by such term as you have applied to them?
 Your statement that there Is a reg ular army at the disposal of the coun- try also calls for comment. Forty days have now passed since war was declared and would like 10 inquire how much larger the present army is over that of forty days ago. As I understand 1t the army at the time was not even recruited to it's required peace strength. If our army is not raised and equipped faster than dur ing the past forty days, the allies can hardly expect very much aid from us Surely you must admit it will be impossible to send very much aid from the present army since a great part of 1t Is needed to train the new recruits.
 do not wish to appear in any way to criticise the general staff to which you referred. as that is farthest from my mind but I would like to call your attention to the fact that from news paper reports the impression Is giv- sn that the military staffs of the allies favor and are urging the sending of the proposed Roosevelt expedition. It would seem, if this fact is so. in view of their vast experience and also with their own mistakes to guide them, that they must have some very good reasons for wishing this expedi- tion to be. sent and do not doubt the administration will take these things into consideration before ac- tually refusing Colonel Roosevelt permission to carry out his plan. I would also like to inquire why the house of representatives who strong ly opposed this plan reversed them selves last Saturday and forty some odd democrats voted in favor of it.
 It seems inconceivable that politics should be playing a part in Washing ton in this matter. especially in these critical times. even though it is be- Ing strongly hinted at.
 Yours very respectfully.
