sectors from the British front south
to the Alps. Much of his time was
spent in and near Neufchateau,
where he met and, after one of those

British Knight, Once Rich,
Now in Yorkshire POorhouSe

In a poorhouSe in Yorkshire, Eng
land, is a man who, twenty years
ago, was one of the most widely
known men of the island. Through
his own efforts he rose from the po-
sition of an office Noy TO knighthood
and seat in the British parliament.
Sir Luke White was one of the most
distinguished lawyers in the north
of England. and for many years han
died the legal affairs of the poor OF
his district But on his election to
parliament he began to neglect his
private affairs. His law practice
suffered, and so last fall he found
himself heavily indebted and with
little income.
Then he retired from parliament,
in an effort to retrieve his fortune,
but worry over his financial affairs
had Slapped his vitality and he suf-
fered a nervous collapse. 1t be-
came necessary for him to go into
bankruptcy, with liabilities of $125,-
600. Friends placed him in a conva-
lescent hospital and betrayed his ex-
penses for a time, but this assist
ance ending, Sir Luke was transfer
red to the poor farm. And there to-
day this man, once powerful in the
affairs of his country, spends his
hours in dreams of past glory.
