LONDON tby MaiD The recruit
Of today doesn't differ much from
the same fellow fresh from the farm
Is years ago-except that he seems
little more serious.
London is now full of these boys,
keeping stiff upper lips in the face
Of the threats of the future and
the discomfofts of military disci-
pline.
They sing "Tipperary" and "It's
Long, Long Trail" around pub
tables while waiting for something
better to sing. In their tents,
shading the candles, they blow their
pay at game called "pontoon"-
about the same as blackjack-and
device for the slaughter OF in
nocents known as "brag"-a three
card imitation of stud poker.
They envy the purple and green
Waristan campaign medals of their
comrades of the regulars who took
part in that last of England's wars
a guerrilla fight in the Himalayan
foothills which bears about the same
relation to the present struggle as
the Villa campaign did to the World
War in the United States.
Strangely, they don't grumble
much about the mess. They get,
at least in some of the camps, two
fried eggs each for breakfast and
steak and French fried potatoes for
dinner. Maybe something strange
has happened to mess sergeants in
two decades.

The woman was about 20 and threatened to bite an officer as her escort made efforts to restrain her. The officer did not disclose the woman's name but said she was from New Jersey, appar- ently on her way to Florida for her health.
 Officials said that Joseph Measel and Beatrice White, both 16, on a New Years Eve scavenger hunt walked into the Executive Mansion and obtained autographs by the President and Mrs. Roosevelt.

 Old Time Spdf

BOSTON, Jan. 2.-Al simmons is Boston Bee today because the owner of the Washington Senators, Clark Griffith, didn't like his sting ing remarks.
 Griffith announced yesterday that he had sold Simmons to the Boston Bees of the National League.
 Reports were that 1t was not diff cult for the Senators owner to get waivers on Simmons from the Am- erican League clubs. Simmons could not seem to get along with the Sem ators' Manager from the time he was bought from Detroit for a re- ported $16000 just few days be- fore the start of the 1888 season.
 Simmons continued his biting re- marks early in the 1888 season when he charged that the Washington ball club was cheap and would not pay fines imposed on it's players.
 Later. last season, when both Grif- fith and Simmons had calmed down and incidentally while Simmons was in a slump. the Senators owner of fered to pay his outfielder bonus if he would wind up the season with a 300 average. Al just managed to hit 300 OH the last day of the sea- son.

itiiitj'ijE KING '6iEEooR OR 0EE, OF QUEEN ldaRRiFf MAY SLEEP IN CREAkY BED
 ON VISIT TO WHITE HOUSE
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. -- King George and Queen Mary will move into the White House next sum- mer to find almost a complete ab- sence of anything British except recollection that his majestys soldiers once burned the place down.
 Other than the smoke marks, long since painted over, there IS white marble mantel in the Green room, brought from Eng land in 1792, and the state dining room is paneled with English wal nut. Other foreign touches mostly are French and Belgian.
 Probably it is no ill omen, but the last reigning monarch who visited the place. King Prajadipok of Siam, no longer is on the throne. He came in 1881 as guest of President Hoover. Hoover lost his job, too.
 There aren't any historic ghosts in the White House, no records of bloody plots such as distinguish British castles. But the White House is distinguished place none the less, although bit crowded even for a democratic king.
 There are seven bedroom suites on the upstairs floor, which tradi- tionally is the family quarters. Present plans are for the king to occupy an east end suite contain ing the nine-foot Lincoln four poster bed, which probably creaks. The place overlooks the Treasury, also a matter of some interest to the British.

Platinum Also Enters Into Events Placing Norfh-
 land, Upper Ranks

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Alaska, the $7,000.000 Government invest ment, paid $27,O36000 dividend in minerals in 1888, the Bureau of Min es estimates.
 This is the value of gold platin- um, copper, silver and other miner als taken from the hills and the steambeds during 1938
 Of this total the gold production is given as $21,917,000.
 The total mineral yield of Alaska since the purchase from Russia in 1888 is more than $776,0 100000 nearly III times more than the Territory cost originally.
 The Rasqes V Of NIi;ssss said that, while the estimated gold production for last year is $i99,000 less than the record year of 1906, officials will not be surprised, when the final re- ports are received, that the actual output last year will eclipse that of the earlier period
 The estimated value of platinum for the last year is $1.025.000 copper $2,932, 900, coal $57o0O0. silver $287,- 900, lead $102,000, and other metals $303, 1000.
 The Bureau of Mines said there has been an enormous increase in the output of platinum which has formed "One of the most notable events of the year" placing Alaska third or fourth in the list of count ries supplying the world with the precious metal

France showed Italy display of power today in the Mediterranean while Great Britain prepared to meet Germany's threat to match her ton for ton in submarines.
 To shouts of thousands of is- flanders that Corsica is French, " Premier Daladier stepped ashore in Ajaccio, Corsica, from warship on a tour of French territory which is being coveted by Italy. A fleet of French fighting ships rode at anchor in the harbor waiting to ac- company the French Premier to Tunisia in his demonstration to Italy that France means to hold her possessions.
 In London, the Herald said Great Britain would add several million pounds to her 1889 naval estimates because of Germany's move toward submarine parity. Germany has served notice that she intends to use her treaty privilege to discard the AS to 100 ratio set up in the past with Britain.
