THOMAS TELLS HIS OWN STORY
 AS A WITNESS
Man Accused of Murder of Norris Pannill Takes
 Stand in Own Defense.

William Thomas was placed on the witness stand in the Superior court in his own defense yesterday in the trial of Thomas and Jacob Hawkins for the murder Of Norris Pannill at the Keystone club December 16 last. He was questioned by his attorney. W. H. Lewis, and said he did not shoot Pannill, did not fire any shots on the night in question, and did not see Texas" fire any. nor tell him to fire any. Under cross exaRlina- tion he held to his story pretty well.
 Thomas also said that Sergt. Burns, previous to the night of the shooting, had been at the club, and had told him he intended to break up the joint.
 Thomas was placed on the witness stand after Judge J. H. Reed ruled out statements alleged to have been made by Pannill that a "cop" shot him because they were not shown to be the dying declarations of Pannill. Judge Reed said he would like, in the interest of justice, to admit the statements, but they were clearly against the law in Connecticut be- cause Pannill in one of them at least said he expected to recover, and in none was it shown that he believed he was dying.
 George M. Mcdonald, ballistic eX- pert, was the last witness called yes- terday. He asserted that a bullet fired through the two doors of the club, as related by Policeman T. N. McNamara, could not have produced the wounds described by that officer, nor penetrated his clothing or taken the course described. Mcdonald also said the bullet alleged to have killed Pannill, .32 calibre, could not have been fired through the door, but it could have been fired from the pis- tol owned by Sergt. Burns, or any other Smith & Wesson revolver.

even the least promising IS tried. If some newspaper would start a contest to get the best proposal from the general public, that also might help.
 In the meantime we fellows are hustling to make Uncle Sans army the greatest band of group singers in the history of the world.
 MORE SONG LEADERS NEEDED
 The kind of man that generally develops into the best song leader is a first class business man with good head on his shoulders who has 8 liking for music. He doesn't need to know anything about music, in the generally accepted meaning of musical knowledge. Primarily he must be man full of punch and pep, a good cheer leader, prefer ably also a good 'kidder" and-~ most important of all-he must en- joy the work. Never have l seen successful soldier song leader who didn't get more fun out of a "sing" than any other man present.
 Becoming soldier song leader is an entirely different process from learning how to head a choir or glee club. In the latter instances the men have gathered together voluntarily for the purpose of sing ing, and therefore are interested before you start. It is necessary to arouse the soldiers interest, for he has other things in mind gen. erally at the time you take hold of him. He may not care a rap about singing, but you must learn to make him do so.
 Another big difference is that the soldier song leader must learn to "eat dust" He must develop his wind so he can go along on big hikes, and he must get used to keeping himself at top speed every minute he works throughout a long day, for the moment he lets his forcefulness sag he becomes totally ineffective.
 SING AT BOXING SHOWS
 The bunch that puts the most into it's singing Is the crowd at @ big boxing tournament in camp. The men are all keyed up by the excitement of the occasion and, when you lead them from the ring you don't have to beg them. A box ing crowd generally wants We're going to get the Kaiser" first, but a bit later they always call for ''The Long, Long Trail"
 That's the real heart song of th0 army-"The Long, Long Trail" This song was written more than a year before we got in the war and didn't attract any more atten. tion at the time than a lot of oth0S songs. But now 1t is coming into it's own. Twenty years from now 1t will be remembered as the heart song of the big war. For it's typs of song it is just as strong with the soldier as "Over There" is fos it's type. It embodies the spirit Of the day-the boy going away on his noble mission, later to come home perhaps to his wife and sweet. heart-as no other present day song does. The soldiers love every word of it's verse and every bar of Its music,

The Indian war whoop is another good one and every man can make 8 real job of it, but 1t has the disadvantage of making a man clap his hand to his lips when he has better uses for the hand.
 "Yip. yips," VOWS" VOWS" and rays" have been tried with some success, but the perfect yell has not been found. It is mainly up to us song leaders to locate 1t, for we have so many chances to try them all out Every few days We get new idea or hear a suggestion, and

Prison Camp.

ST. ALBANS, April 26.--Capt. James
VI. Wardlaw, 10th Battalion Royal
Welsh Fusiliers OF the regular British
army, whose name was recently III the
casualty list as having been missing
since April 10, is now returned az
slightly wounded and prisoner Of war
in Germany, according to cable re-
ceived from London by his brother, =.
Walter Wardlaw, assistant to the presi-
dent of the Central Vermont railway.
No details are contained in the Lon
don cable, but it must be that Captain
Wardlaw was in action, probably in
the region Of Armcntieres, and that he
and his troops were surrounded by tho
advancing Germans and cut off from
their own forces. The British were
driven back a great many miles in
this territory at time that conceded
with the appearance Of Captain Ward
law s name on the casualty list.
Capt. Wardlaw has now gone through
about all the experiences which fall to

in the ranks he won promotion to com
mission grade. He has fought in the
trenches as a private and "a an officer
He has been cited in general orders for
bravery in the field, and has received
the coveted military medal as the re-
suit OF taking command of his platoon
after all its officers had become cas-
ualties, holding off the Germans for
three days until relief could reach him.
For this he was personally recommend
ed by King George. And now he is a
prisoner OF war and without doubt
has been sent TO German prison camp.
This is the second time that he has
been wounded, having been hit during
the fighting at Arras last year after
which he was sent back TO England
where for some time, and before he
was declared fit for active service at
the front, he was engaged in giving
men their preliminary military train
