a Correction

Frank C. Coppicus, of the Metropoli-
tan Opera Company, writes to The
Tribune that the statement made a
short while ago in The Tribune to the
effect that Mr.. Coppicus had secured
only first citizenship papers is an
error. Mr.. Coppicus states that he
secured final papers in 1915, two years
before this country entered into the
war. Mr.. Coppicus also states that he
is entirely opposed to German mill
tarism and all its works, and that he
is intellectually with America in the
present war.

INSTANT ACTION CALLED FOR
WrangeII, Alaska, Said to BE With
out a Resident Physician, and
That Won't DO.

Members Of the medical profession,
alert to its interests, should 20 out Of
their way to e that the doctorless
town Of Wrangell, Alaska, is supplied
with a physician forthwith, that is, If
the void has not been filled within re-
cent days. Wrangell has been without
a doctor for some time, and is lot
ing that a horse doctor will do If the
regular kind cannot be supplied.
Every day that Wrangell enjoys ro-
bust health without a physician in it's
midst Is a potential menace to the
business of all the brethren Of the pro-
fession. Some man with a nose for
news is likely to bore into compare
tive death rates any day. How would
the brethren like to read a calm state
ment to the effect that Wrangell's
death rate has decreased 8 per cent In
the last four months? And 1t might
easily happen, Alaska being so bloom
ing healthful, anyway.
How is anybody in Wrangell to know
that he has appendicitis, or gallstones,
OF impossible tonsils, or adenoids, or
arteriQsclerosis, unless a resident pill
sharp lis there to tell him?
There are a lot Of people who will
fret and lose flesh If they are not quite
ure what they have to worry about.
The reported void at Wrangell should
be filled, and forthwith.-Seattle Post

1said it was a big happy family, and
so it is, but as in oil happy families.
there are servants, so in the British
army there are also servants, officers
servants, or 20. s." as they are termed.
In the American army the common
name for them is "dog robbers" From
a controversy in the English papers.
Winston Churchill made the state
ment, as far as I can remember, that
the officers servants in the British
forces totaled nearly two hundred
thousand. He claimed that this re-
moved two hundred thousand excep-
tionally good and well-trained fighters
from the actual firing line, claiming
that the officers, when selecting a man
for servants duty, generally picked the.
man who had been out the longest and
knew the ropes.
But from my observation I find that
a large percentage of the servants do
go over the top but behind the lines
they very seldom engage in digging
parties, fatigues. parades or drills.
This work is as necessary as actually
engaging in an attack, therefore I think
it would be safe to say that the all
round work Of the two hundred thou
sand is about equal to fifty thousand
men who are on straight military du.
ties. In numerous instances, officers
servants hold the rank of l~ance-corpo-
rails and they assume the same duties
and authority of a butler, the one
stripe giving him precedence over the
other servants. =
There are lots of amusing stories
told of 20. S."
One day n Of our majors went into
the servants billet and commenced
"blinding" at them, saying that his
horse had no straw and that he per-
sonally knew that straw had been is
sued for this purpose. He called the
lance-corporal to account. The cor.
poral answered, "Blime me, sir, the
straw was issued, but there wasn't
enough left over from the servants
beds; in fact, we had to use some Of
the 'ay to 'elp out, sir"

that particular night.
Nevertheless it is not the fault of
the individual officer, it is just the sur
vival of a quaint old English custom.
You know an Englishman cannot be
changed in a day.
But the average English officer is a
good sport. He will sit on a fire step
and listen respectfully to Private
Jones' theory of the way the war
y should be conducted. f. This war is
gradually crumbling the once insur-
m%ountable wall of caste.
You would be convinced of this If
you could see King George go among
his men on an inspecting tour under
fire. or pause before a little wooden
cross in some shell-tossed field with
tears in his eyes as he reads the In
scription. And a little later perhaps

Hot Weather Poisons
Hit The Stomach First
How to Keep Your Stomach

Hot weather always starts those

These poisons not only generate

: The game is honest and quite en-
3oyable. Sometimes you have fourteen
numbers on your card covered and
you are waiting for the fifteenth to be

Watkins generally replies, "Well,
keep out Of q draft, you'll catch cold.''
Another game is "Pontoon." played
with cards; it is the same as our
"Black jack" or "Twenty-one."
A card game called Drag" is also
popular. Using a casino deck, the
dealer deals each player three cards.
1t is similar to u poker, except for
the fact that you only use three cards
and cannot draw. The deck is never
shufled until a man shows three Of a
kind or a "prile" as it is called. The
value Of the hands are, high card, a
pair, q run, a flush or three of a kind

penny, so it is hard to win a fortune.
The next in popularity is a card

a game similar to pinochle called
"Royal Bezique," but few know how to
play it.
Generally there are two decks OF
cards in a section, and in a short time
they are so dog-eared' and greasy, you
can hardly tell the ace of spades from
the ace of hearts. The owners of these
decks sometimes condescend to lend
them after much coaxing.
So you see, MIR. Atkins has his fun

trary to popular belief, the rank and

is just pitied. It is exactly the same
as 1t was with the Light Brigade at

makes the acquaintance Of coolies" After q brief period of training
Employs company is sent into the frontline trenches, where he takes
his first turn on the fire step while the bullets whiz overhead. Empey
learns, as comrade falls, that death turks always in the trenches.
Chaplain distinguishes himself by rescuing wounded men under hot
