MAJOR CARNIE TELLS
OF WAR EXPERIENCE

Thru the generosity and patriotism
Of two of our most public spirited
citizens, Messrs. McFarlane and son,
in cancellirg their regular picture
show prcgram and donating the OPP
era house for the occasion, the pub
lie was given a genuine treat last
Sunday night by Sergeant-Major
Carnie of the Australian volunteers,
ably assisted by Chief Silvertongue,
a full-blood American Indian, who
greatly Pleased the audience with
his singing.
AS soon as Great Britain was
forced into the war by Germary's
violation of Be,gium's neutrality,
volunteers were ca led fer from the
British colories, ard Major Carnie
was the third to enlist from Austria
liza. He told how, under convoy of
three battle cruisers to protect the
troop slips frcm the German Cruis-
er Emden, then kr rown to be in the
waters they We're to sail thru, the
Australian volunteers were first
Tended in Egypt, in the hot sands
of the desert and under climatic
conditions most trying, they receiv-
ed several months preparatory train
ing. They were then re-embarke I'd
and taken to an island in the Medi-
terranean sea, where they Were pre-
pared for participation in the histor-
icail and disastrous GalliIoli cam
paign.
Gus difficulties and great odds which
the British soldiers had to overcome
in effecting landing on the CALI
pc4i peninsula, but a printed narra-
tive of an accomplishment so heroic
does not begin to impress ONE as
does the telling OF IL e story by word
of mouth, especially when the story
is so well told as Major Carnie tells
1t.
When the GallipcM campaign was
abandoned and the troops withdrawn
the Australians who had survived,
being only small part OF those who
had participated, were taken to
France and put into battle there.
Major Carnde gave very graphic
account Of trench warfare with its
bcmbardmerts, tarrsge fire and
'ov'er the top features. He also
told of the Physical discomforts of
trench Life, the chief burden OF
which is too much life.
After nearly three years OF con-
tinucus activity in the fighting line
Major Carnie was severely wounded
He was succored and nursed back
to life in one OF the splendid Red
Cross HOSPITALS. The manifest sin
cerity with which he raid an elo-
quent tribute to that great organi-
zation of mercy should convince all
who heard him that we cannot go
tco far in giving cur money to and
laboring for the Red Cross.
Major Carrie bears credentials
from the British army authorities
granting lin leave to make public
addresses in uniform, but he defrays
all of Ids expenses. He did good
work last spring in the eastern
states in behalf of the Second Red
Cross Fund camI aign, and has vol
unteered his services for the Sec
ond Y. M. C. A. Fund campaign
which will be made some time this
fall. In the meantime he is speak
ing at the smaller towns thruout
the country, ard we do not hesitate
to urge everyone to hear him who
has en- opportunity.

No more Effective work toward
maintaining the highest morale among
the American troops has been done
by any war organization than by the
Jewish Welfare Board, which is en-
gagged in its task of 'eeping up the
lines OF communication between the
Jewish men in the trenches and
training camps and the folks back
home.
Believing that in the struggle Of
morale against "kultur" the American
army has every advantage that will
insure success, the Jewish organiza-
tion is making it's chief issue the
sti6Sning of mental and moral hbre
among the soldiers OF the Hebrew
faith. The call for workers is urgent
and rAbbis, professional men. journal
lists, social workers and others are
entering the service OF the Jewish
Welfare Board to make Hp the 400
workers needed to fill the ranks.

War Control Of Utilities.

Wise legislation concerning the gov
ernment's war control of public utrl-
ties or any other privately owned prop
erty will enable the government to take
over promptly whatever of such prop
erty war necessities or war-waging effl-
cieucy demand; and will confine this
taking over to control Of property nee
es.ary to win the war, and will promise
TO return the property after the war to
its owners.
If government control during the war
demonstrates the wisdom of permanent
government ownership and operation OF
any of this Communicated property,
the nation, through Congress. will,
after the war, as an independent
proposition, purchase such prop
erty from the owners. And the chance
that this demonstration will be made is
a chance that the stoekholding owners
must take as part of their patriotic sac
rifee in war service. But it is not in
the interest of war efficiency or the full
success of the nations war control of
this property or in accordance with the
equities to decide this issue inconsider-
ately at this time.
These suggestions are elaborated edi-
torially elsewhere in The Star.

The Alley Dwellers.

Two bills were introduced in the Sen
ate yesterday for the issuance of bonds
for the construction of sanitary dwell
ings to house the 5000 people who viii
be driven from their homes in the al
leys of Washington July / if a law now
on the statute books is enforced. 1t is
doubtful whether buildings to house this
number of people could be erected in the
three months that now remain before
the law goes into operation. Attention
was called to this matter some months
ago in the hope that if the operation Of
the law were not postponed by act of
Congress, in view of the extraordinary
conditions now prevailing here, provision
might be made in time to assure dwell
ipgs to these people upon their eviction.
Nothing was done, however, and no rec
concentrations have been made by the
Commissioners to Congress. If the law
is enforced on July l the congestion
now prevailing will be gravely increased
Probably many Of these people will not
have places in which to live or will be
forced into buildings that are now de-
crepit and insanitary, and that should
under a strict enforcement of the sani-
tary building law be demolished. 1t is
doubtful, indeed, If there are enough
dwellings Of this class to house all the
present alley dwellers. Postponement of
the alley law would seem, in view Of the
shortness Of time, to be necessity, and
yet if this is done it should be strictly
on the basis of provision for the early
housing of the present alley dwellers,
perhaps under some such arrangement
as that proposed in Senator Jones' bills.
There must be no permanent abandon
ment Of the plan to make the alleys of
Washington sanitary.

be no duality of time. Everything must
