London Of Today I Marvel, Forming
One Of the Most Important War
centers Of Entire World.

A Rhodesian who has arrived II
England to "jOin up," after service in
the three campaigns undertaken BY
the South Africans, assures me Of his
astonishment at the tact and thor
oughness exhibited In the daily work
of military police, says a writer in
Westminster Gazette. The London of
today is, indeed, a never-ending mar
vel to the colonial soldier. 1t forms
one of the most important military
centers of the world. 1t is inhabited
by floating population drawn from
one of the most cosmopolitan armies
in HISTORIAN army, too, that is in no
way remarkable for the gentleness Of
Its fighting methods when the games
afoot. Yet as my South African
friend phrased it, 'the whole mob
goes about on its business and its
pleasures like a small flock Of con-
tented sheep with a couple of we'll
trained dogs behind them"
Things were not always managed
that way in the early days of the
forces raised by the dominions In the
first year of war. My informant Illus
trates the contrast with an incident
that came under his notice while his
regiment lay intrenched at Swakop-
mund during the German South
west" campaign. One morning the
men of the Union advanced posts saw
approaching them from the desert
three living skeletons, who staggered
like drunken men as they CROPPED
their way blindly through the fur
mace of sand. A comrade lay help
less a mile or so behind, too far gone
to walk. He was brought in later,
unconscious, but still alive. The four
heroes-captives in the hands of the
Hun-had preferred the chances Of
death to the grim certainty Of cruel
and CALLING captivity. and had man
aged to escape from their jailers un-
der cover of darkness. Practically
without food and. for the most part.
without water. they had Travelled
some hundreds of miles-from one
end of the vast territory to the
other. Almost naked, the ice-cold
winds of night had crippled them, hun
ger had robbed them Of their
strength, and thirst had all but driven
them to madness. They had escaped
sby the skin of their teeth" from
both vengeful Hun and prowling lion.
And an officious military policeman
greeted them on their arrival in the
British lines with the order that they
were not to loiter in the streets Of
the town!

WAS TRULY AMERICAN HERO
Or. James |. Vance Pays Tribute to
Brilliant Young Journalist, Farmer,
Professor and Soidier--Letter from
Brother.

Drawn by theS memories Of the
young nero to- whom in life they were
affectionately attached, d number OF
friends and relatives of Capt. Meade
Frierson, who gave his life In the war
to make the world safe for Democracy,
attended the memorial services in
honor Of tileyoung hero Sunday after
noon at. the First Presbyterian church
in Nashville. Besides those. from Co
lulnbia direct, many other former Co
lumbians NV residing in Nashville
were presetn. The memorial service
was held jointly for. Capt. Charles
Duncan and Capt. Meade Frierson,
both of whom were members of the
First Presbyterian church.
Concerning Lieut.. Frierson, Dir.
Vance said he was one of the most
gifted young men it had ever been his
fortune to come in contact with, and
that during his brief young life he
had proved himself master of what
ever he undertook Journalist, farmer,
professor and soldierin all of which
he had proved himself master of the
situation, and had he lived his friends
confidently believed that he would
have eventually become a maior-gen-
eneral, for there was no limit to his
talents and aspirations.
Faced Death With Smile.
AS an evidence of his enthusiasm
and patriotism Dr.. Vance read let
ter to friend written by Lieut.
Frierson, in which he stated that if
death were to be his portion in the
mighty struggle for freedom, that he
could be depended upon to die with
smile on his lips, as he was ready
to meet any sacrifice that might be
demanded. He was great lover of
children, said DR.. Vance, and he loved
war when it was directed in the right
direction, for he was ever ready to
do what he conceived his duty, nc
matter the price to be paid.
DR.. Vance read from letter sent.
his mother by the colonel OF the regi.
ment to which Capt. Frierson was
attached, in which he said, you have
lost son and the country soldier
who can not be replaced Capt.
Frierson, said DR.. Vance, had the con-
ISOLATION of figuring prominently in
the fight which proved the turaing
point in the war, and that he did his
duty in this battle, as we'll as in every
other position to which he was east.
DIR. Vance stated that superiors had
already recognized the worth and alb
ility of Capt. Frierson, and had he
lived few days longer he would have
been honored by promotion to the
position of major of his regiment.
ANletter of consolation from Lieut..
william G. Frierson, brother of Capt.
Frierson. to his parents. was read by
Dr. Vance. 1t was written on the
front line in France where the broth
er is an officer of an artillery regi-
ment. It is one of the most beautiful
tributes ever written by brother in
memory of brother.
Among the Columbians who attend.
ed the service were: Mr.. and Mrs
Eugene Anderson and Miss Leila Barr
Anderson, Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. Ander-
son. Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Cochran.
