WELL-KNOWN NAMES

PARIS, March 10 Correspondence
Of The Associated Press) The first
name on the alphabetical list of the
American expeditonary force is
Private Aaae and the last is Corporal
zzeppenfelt. Between the two names
are more than 100000 others.
George Washington, Abraham Lin
coin, General Ulysses S. Grant, Rob-
ert E. Lee, Woodrow Wilson, several
Caesars and few Bismarcks adorn
the ranks with intermittent frequency.
Excluding the commandments
of the army and navy, there is but one
Woodrow Wilson. He is a private,
and according to Stars and Stripes
has lust been placed in the working
personnel of base hospital No. ~,
which was organized in Pittsburgh.
There is an abundance of the names
of great men, including "a George
Washingtons. The name of the first
president is surpassed by seventy-nlne
Robert E. Lees, who holds the RECORD
for hearers of the name of great men.
There are but two Abraham Llncolns
and seven Grant, twelve Caesars and
four Bismarcks.
Among the common people" there
are about 81 900 Smiths. True to thelf
traditional predominance of the direc-

MAKING GOOD
CITIZENS OUT
: OF SLACKERS


ISOLATED Press).-On tiny island,
actually a large rock with circum-
ference of just mile and quarter
in the center of San Francisco bay,
the United States army has 40 mill
tary prisoners, practically all of whom
have been sentenced since war was
declared with Germany.
Former soldiers, sentenced by mill
tary courts for serious crimes are
here. There are boys who volunteered
early in the war and then did not get
to fight because they violated the
rules and regulations of an army.
Every class of civilian life also has
its representatives here, according to
the prisons books.
Theoretically, a sojourn on the
island is supposed through discipline
and lessons taught there, to fit the
prisoners for return to civil or mill
tary life. Each month a dozen or more
are returned to the army to make
good" Since the island prison was
established a few years ago nearly
seven hundred men have been re-
stored to their former place in the
army. In the world war these former
prisoners gave coed account Of them
selves. It was not uncommon for re-
ports of bravery and extreme sacrifice
on the part of former prisoners to
trickle back to the "big rock"
Over the doors of the administra-
ton building and streaming across
the entire face of the building are the
words of Pope: Hope Springs
Eternal in the Human Breast" The
administration offices front the prison
proper
When a soldier arrives at the island
under sentence he must don the
prison garb of brown with a hat OF
the same color The clothes are not
of military cut and the hat is like
Tam OShanter. By good behavior
and attention to prison duties, officers
and, if the prisoner expresses desire,
he again can be of use to the army
and, if the prisoner expresses desire,
he is started on the road for return
to the army a clean man.
The prisoner then becames
*'disciple'. He is given uniform OF
an old issue with its turned down
!. collar. He wears brasard to denote
his improved station From 8 a. m. he
receives army drill, with battalion
of his fellows. In the afternoon he
works at different duties.
When a few months elapse he is
sent from the island to some unit OF
the army.
All the men do not elect to remain
with the army. Through the west,
and particularly in San Francisco,
there are many former prisoners on
parole from the"rock" engaged in var
ious lines of business who report once
a month to the commandant.
The "big rock rises almost sheer
from the bay waters. The parade
ground had to be hewn from the solid
rock. Above the parade ground similar
hewing was done for the prison build
ings. Barracks for officers and the
soldiers stationed as guards and ad-
ministrators rise from near the bay
and almost are mortised into the

The young Portuguese warriors, 1t
would seem, exercised an irresistible
fascination upon the French maidens
by reason of the romantic melancholy
songs of Portugal called "fados" with
which they serenaded their sweet

wide popularity in the Armentieres
