NEWLY RICH BARGAIN
FOR ENGLISH TITLES

LONDON, July 26.-The tender
spot in British political life today is
the dispensation of titles. These are
awarded, of course, by the King, but
on the nomination of the Prime Min
ister, and the criticism Of reformers is
that titles have been given for long
time and by various Prime Ministers
for purely party services and practi-
caIly bought by contributions to party
funds.
The house of lords has "a peculiar
interest in this matter because the
old, noble families are jealous 2f hav-
ing their caste lowered by the addI-
tion of the newly rich, and purely
rich to the orders of nobility.
The question was threshed out last
year and there was a general under
standing that hereafter when honors
were announced the reason for their
bestowal should be published. This
has been done in form but it is alleg-
ed not in substance, because several
much criticised honors in the last list
were described as ''for public ser
vices" which might mean almost any
thing.
The new National Party, which has
a few members in the House Of Com
mons has taken up the question. The
Chairman, General Page Croft, has
written to the newspapers proposing
to prove before any judicial commit
tee that since 1910 one member OF
has rejected an offer OF
a title i'm return for a cash payment
TO party funds and that the father
Of member of the House Of Com
mons was offered baronetcy for
$25, 900.
He charged also that a member OF
who was created Peer
after the beginning Of the war sub
scribed shortly afterward very large
sum of money to newspaper that
supports the Premier.
He mentions also instances IN
which he says titles were granted to
. nolitician of so notorious q charac-
+er as to be regarded as unfit to be

The rest camp is ideally located,
being directly on the beach, and has
been put in excellent shape by the
men of Company |, 37th infantry, un-
der command of Capt. B. Nj. Egeland
and Lieut.. III. X. Evans. The first
contingent of men to be quartered
at the rest camp numbered thirty
eight and were from both the Browns
vile and Laredo districts. While here
they enjoyed swimming and fishing, a
ride around the city, given them by
the Red Cross motor corps, and dane
ing and games at the soldiers sea-
shore club, under auspices of the War
Camp Community Service, on Satur-
day and Monday evenings. Free tick
cts to the movies were given them by
the Red Cross. Hereafter the num-
Der of visiting men will be increased
to one hundred each week and prac
tically the same program of enter
tainment will be followed.
The men are very appreciative of
the opportunity to get away from the
monotony of outpost duty for few
days and are loud in their praise of
the rest camp idea.

ne University IN khdkl at fOrt
Brown started off well this week. The
vocational training program was init
lated at the local post Wednesday
with Lieutenant e. III. Milholland in
charge.
The carpentry class has five stud
ents who meet at the quartermaster
carpenter shop. Mr.. Duncan is the
instructor.
The class of nine pupils in the
study of steam and gas engines is
held Mt the tin shop of the quarter
master corps. J. O. Markell is in
structor.
Charles G.. Clark, master signal
electrician, has "A class Of "a who meet
at the old radio station to study ra-
dio and line telegraphy.
Captain II. +. Tuttle has the lar
gest class Of the school He is in
structing 1876 enlisted men in auto
truck driving and repairing. This
class meets in the Y. NJ. G. A.
Eight are enrolled in the filing and
typewriting class which is taught by
A. S. Lanier. They meet at the
camp supply office.
Eleven are taking stenography un-
der III. c. Grosscr at the officers
club.
The classes meet at | / O'Clock each
morning for study. and the sessions
last until noon. No classes are held
on Saturday.
No Definite Term.
No limit is set on the length Of
time it may take man to complete
his course. This is due to the fact
that when a man is on outpost duty
he is sure to miss his classes. Thus
no definite term is outlined. "We
just teach them until they master
their chosen vocation, or drop out"
said Lieutenant MilholIand.
About fifty typcwriters are en-
route here for the classes in stenog-
raphy. With this equipment, this
branch Of study is expected to have
very large enrolment.
Plans are being worked out to en-
large the field of study so that the
training will not only be vocational.
but educational as well. Colonel Far
rand Sayre has been in conference
with Secretary w. O. Hoogestratt Of
the post Y. NJ. e. A. relative to this
branch of the curriculum.
The Y. NJ @. A. will teach alge-
bra, penmanship, business English.
arithmetic, reading, bookkeeping, civ
les, typewriting and agriculture.
Qualified instructors will be secured
for all the classes.
Out of the 729 enlisted men sta
toned here, 256 have taken up
studies i'm the classes. With the ad-
ditional coursese offered 1t is felt
that "a much larger per cent will be
enrolled.
1--WE are trying to make this uni
versity in khaki at Fort Brown meet
the demands and needs Of the enlisted
man." said Colonel Sayre. when
this system is worked out completely
il will mean that every young man IN
the United States who desires mill
tary training. and yet wishes to learn
trade or improve his educational
advantages can do SO by enlisting.
Many young men do not get the ad
vantage of an early education, or the
opportunity to learn trade. The
army will assist them to overcome
this handicap"
The newest feature to be added to
the course Of study is music. Lieuten-
ant Paul Smith, leader Of the 18th
Cavalry band, will have classes start
cd this week.
