I The biggest by-product of this waI
has been the respect we have gained
for one another" said Major Ian Hay
Beth. of the Argyll and sutherland
/ Highianders. in his third address to
the people, and especially the war re-
lief workers of Richmond, in the JEFF
ferson Hotel auditorium last night.

the auditorium was taxed, many peo-
pie not being able to get in at all.
Mayor George Ainslie introduced
the speaker In the absence of Ivan
Maltby, president of the Virginia War
Relief association. who was unable to
be present. A hundred ladies of the
association and Red Cross canteen
workers attended the lecture in uni
form, many American officers being
present also.
The future of the world lies with
the English speaking races" said Ma

tory. Let us get together and stick to-
gether for civilization
After describing r.. wonderful way
In which the American oughboys won
the hearts OF the British Tomrflies.
Major Beth said: The American
mind has taken the Englishman out
OF himself, which is some achieve
ment. They have not learned to I'M
derstand each other perfectly. but
they know each other and they like
and respect each other. The British
soldier knows, and I can testify that

Tho allies thank America for the
work of her men who were sent in

the Scottish officer, land we also
thank American women who have
done 80 much for the destitute people
OF Europe. The British also have an
individual debt to America for her
sympathy and help in the war"
An amusing incident was told by
Major Beth to illustrate the business
like fairness of the Americans An
American colonel entered battered

When Perkins enlisted In the navy
more than two years ago, he owned

soil is poor and has an intrinsic agrf
cultural value of perhaps $500. When
Perkins entered the navy he left the
farm in charge of his father, with full
power to act in all matters connected
with it. With the first indications OF

When the field began to develop one
half of the one-eighth royalty was
sold for $4,000 cash, which sum was
deposited in a local bank to the credit
of young Perkins. Now the big thing
has happened. The Sinclair Gulf Oil
company, which has lease on the 81
acres, has brought In the largest well
upon the tract that there Is to be
found In any of the central west Tex
as fields. 1t is producing crude petrol
cum at the rate of 10000 barrels a
day, each barrel valued at 1925. The
present income of the young man Is
about 81, 800 day, and with the bring
ing in of other wells upon the farm
1t may be increased several times this
sum. He could easily dispose of his
royalty rights for $3,000000.

AMERICAN PRESS HEADQUAR

AMERlJAN PhESS HEADQUAh-
TIERS. Dec. 29.-American cores
pondents captured a German prisoner
recently. But that is only the bare
fact. The prisoner had to insist he
was a German soldier and beg to be
captured before he formally became a
prisoner. @@
1t happened at Lille, where the cor
respondents were to stop as a tenn
porary advanced headquarters. Bag
gage was being unloaded from press
cars and carried into the mansion
rented for a few days.
A bulky woe-begone figure stood in
the street. He cleared his throat sew
eral times as if to speak, but said
nothing. When he finally did speak,
in German, no one understood him,
and believing him to be a poor Flemish
refugee.
The German became more and more
excited and seemed to be pleading for
something. A correspondent thought
he was hungry and gave him a piece
of chocolate. This was eagerly taken
and eaten and inspired murmurs of
"Kamerad, Kamerad." Then the sit
uation began to be appreciated.
AS the correspondents now seemed
mildly interested, the German unout-
toned his bulky coat and displayed his
field gray uniform underneath. "Oh!'
said everyone. Hes a boche." The
British captain who took him in
charge learned from him that he had
been hiding in a cellar since the cap
ture of Lille and had mad nothing 10
eat but remnants of his field 1atioas.
He had been wise in wearing his
uniform under the old civilian clothes
he had found. An enemy soldier not
in uniform is liable to be shot as j
spy if caught behind the lines. ,
