Lord Mayor of London's Private
Secretary the One indispensable
Man on His Staff.

LONDON, December 1 Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).-Lord
mayors of London come and go at the
rate Of one year. but the iord
Jameson Soulsby, remains a hxture
He was first appointed to that office in
1875, and he has just been reappolnted
for the forty-fifth time.
He is the one indispensable man on
the lord mayors staff He knows just
how everything should be done "ac-
cording to precedent" And to FOLLOW
that precedent in all things without
a hairbreadths deviation is the chief
duty of the lord mayor.
Power Behind the Throne.
1t is Soulsby who tells him how to
do it so as to avoid introducing an in
novation, which would be regarded as
blunder worse than crime For, be
it known, the code of etiquette by
which the official conduct of the lord
mayor is regulated is more rigid than
that which obtains at Buckingham
Palace. Each successive lord mayor
after his Inauguration puts hlmseii
the secretary sees him through. He is
the power behind the throne. the man
who pulls the strings on ceremonial
occasions.
Foreign potentates who nave been
entertained by IorI mayors from time
to time have recognized Soulsby'S
capacity for running things smoothly.
In consequence. besides being an Eng
lish knight, he is knight of more
foreign orders, it is said, than he can
count on both hands.
The lord mayor that has to get
along without him will have trying
time of it. But it is reported that
somebody is carefully. understanding
the secretary so as to be able to pass
abIy filI the gap that must occur some
time, for Soulsby is sixty-eight years
old.

FINALLY SUBDUE FOREST FIRE
Conf1agration Which Threatened
Overwhelming Destruction.

A forest fire that threatened, in Ii
days of unimpeded destruction, to con-
sumo the whole of Angeles national
forest, in southern California, was
finally brought under control by the
desperate efforts of hundreds of volun-
teers. The unceremOniOus drafting of
curiosity seekers swelled the ranks of
the fighters until, In one district alone,
around Pomona, more than 1000 were
working day and night TO stay the on
rushing flames. The kindling of ire
mendOus back fires at critical points,
guided by airplane inspection, sue
ceeded in holding the fires within the
originating area. Many resorts and
summer homes were menaced, but
only few cabins were lost. AS a re-
suit of the fire, the city waterworks
of Pasadena is to be protected by
giant firebreak, which will be con-
structed Immediately by the rangers

Woman Chief Witness for
Government at Governors
Island Trial; Accused Is
an Annapolis Graduate

Colonel Nirginius Evans Clark, Unit
ed States Air Service, was placed on
trial before a general court martial
at Governors Island yesterday The
charges against the officer were not
revealed, and the proceedings were
held behind closed doors, after counsel
for the officer had objected to the
admission of newspapers.
In the preliminary hearing, which
was public, it was brought out that
Mrs Mary Gladys Curtin was to be
the chief witness for the government.
She is now on her way north from Key
West. Lieutenant Colonel John D.
Carmody, of Clark's counsel, asked
that the case be put over for a month.
on the ground that the presence of
Mrs. Curtin at the proceedings had
not been expected.
Colonel Clarence f. Dentler, prcsi-
dent of the court, decided that no mo-
tion could be acted upon before the
body was properly constituted. After
a conference 1t was announced that,
for the good of the service" the pub
lie would be excluded.
Colonel Clark is Pennsylvania,
and was graduated from Annapolis in
1907. He assisted in the construction
Of the defences at Pearl Harbor, Ha-
wall, and showed marked ability as an
engineer. Later he took up aviation,
and was stationed at Dayton, Ohio.
Among the members of the court are
Colonel John L. Bond and Osmon
