then he had a great stroke of luck for one of such humble origin. He became
a butler in one of the great houses in the neighborhood.
At eighteen the military fever seized him and he enlisted. He chose a
crack regiment, the Sixteenth lancers, and he must have made au ideal cavalry
man, for even now he is the beau ideal of a dashing soldier, tall, well set up,
and with an extraordinary firm chin and jaw. He had no one to help him
and he served in the ranks for ten years, but before long his ambition w;S#
roused, and he probably foresaw that in his case the soldier’s knapsack really
did contain the field marshal’s baton.
He began then the study of languages and of military history, both of which
have stood him in such good stead in his subsequent career.
He is much like Kitchener and possesses some of the characteristics
displayed by “K. of K.” He is a tireless worker, has a mind that works like
lightning, dispenses with red tape, is a masterly organizer and will have none
but efficient, hard workers under him. Like Kitchener also he can say “No” to
a peer or a prince, and if he considers a decision necessary he does not hesitate
to announce it. He is a strict disciplinarian, and while greatly admired and
respected for the honors he has won, he is at times feared by the officers.
CLAPP LIKES DAY TRAVEL
Although he does a good deal of
traveling over the country. Senator
Moses E. Clapp of Miunesota rarely
travels at night. This is not due to
any prejudice against sleeping in one
of the Pullman company’s berths,
either. He journeys by daylight sim
ply because he likes to do so. Not long
ago he and a younger man had to go
on a trip of 14 hours or more, and the
other man naturally proposed that
they go ou a night train.
“Why do you want to go at night?”
asked Clapp, us if the idea of night
travel was a brand new wrinkle.
“To save time, of course,” replied
the man. “One has to sleep anyhow.
Otherwise one wastes an entire day.”
“Waste a day!” exclaimed Clapp.
“On a train! What’re you talking
about? Why, a train’s the very place
of all places where you don’t need to
waste your time. You sit iu your
office and people come in to interrupt
you and you can fritter away an hour or two without accomplishing a thing.
But on a train —there’s the place to devote yourself to quiet reflection and think
things out. Nearly every good thing I ever did I carefully thought out first
while looking out the window of a train. No, indeed, you don’t get me to go
by night unless I have to. The chance to have a nice long day on the train is
too precious to let go by.”
So they journeyed by daylight.

Shackleford might have against the single-tax doctrine.
“What I want to know,” propounded Shackleford, "is this: Why is it that

Gen. Li Huan Hung, who has long

end to the plans of the Nanking trium
virate and the Peking mandarinate to
re-establish the empire. The southern
Chinese are solidly behind the new
president
At the same time, there is great
anxiety concerning the attitude which
Japan will take toward China. Gen
eral Li spent two years iu Japan in
the study of military affairs, and he is
looked upon as favorable to Japanese
influence in China. He is regarded as
the representative of the Japanese stu
dent element in Chinese polities, as op
posed to the American student ele
ment, which always was very influen
tial under the rule of Yuan Shih Kai.
The Chinese who were educated in
Japan have been prominent in the three recent revolutions in China, and it Is
natural that they should come into power under the new regime.

The Airman’s
Story
$>
By Frank Filson
(Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.)
“You will fly to Sarcy,” said my gen
eral, “and deliver this plan of our dis
positions to General Dufour, in com
mand of the advanced posts there.”
I stared at my general in amaze
ment. How did he suppose that I
could fly the hundred miles to Sarcy,
across the apex of the enemy’s lines,
when his Foklcers had command of
the air? However, it is not for a
French soldier to submit advice. I
took the precious plan and made my
way to my monoplane, which, like a
great bird, lay with outstretched
wings ready for me.
I had no observer. There was noth
ing to observe, and my flight was not
for observation. In a few minutes I
had climbed to a height of a thousand
feet and was making my way steadily
along the front, a little inside our
lines.
All went well so long as I continued
along the straight line of the army.
You know it runs for thirty miles
straight as a die, then it bends sud
denly inward, where the enemy have
their salient. It was this salient that
I had to cross. .
I reached it and ascended another
thousand feet. Then I saw a puff of
cotton wool appear beside me and sink
slowly to earth. The anti-aircraft
guns were at me already. I mounted
to three thousand.
Now, from the far-flung lines of the
enemy below, little rising dots indi-

cated the advent of the hostile ma
chines, the dreaded Fokkers. Light
and swift, I knew that they could out
distance me. But I made my course at
top speed, while all about me the
shrapnel burst in little clouds. One
bullet burled itself in my hand. I
tossed it from me. And then the
shrapnel ceased, for the enemy ma
chines were nearing me.
There were five of them. They were
flying parallel with my course. Two
of them ranged themselves alongside;
or, rather what passes for alongside—
a distance of five hundred yards. I
heard the drilling maxim open as one
of them turned bow on toward me, fir
ing through her rudder. I rose and the
bullets passed harmlessly beneath me.
At the same time I answered with my
rifle. I could distinctly see the pilot’s
body as he bent forward in his seat. I
fired and he pitched forward headlong.
The machine stopped dead in the air
as he took his hand from the levers,
turned over and dropped like a stone.
So now there were four of them.
They circled about me like great birds
of prey. I rose. I rose until I was a
thousand feet overhead and swooped
like an osprey. As I swooped I fired
ten rounds from my rifle. By good for
tune I riddled the motor of the ma
chine that I was attacking. It caught
fire and fell to earth in a blaze of
flame. So that left three.
They flew alongside, firing steadily.
The bullets escaped me by a miracle.
My motor must have been pierced, for
a steady drip, drip of oil pattered into
the chassis. However, at this mo
ment, when all seemed lost, one of the
enemy machines developed some fault
with her steering gear and went
gracefully to earth, leaving me only
two antagonists.
Then, to my astonishment, after cir
cling about each other, I heard, above
the sound made by my leaking motor,
one of the airmen bid the other leave
him to me. The other obeyed. Of my
five antagonists only one remained.
It was the machine of the redoubt
able Lieutenant Hansen. I knew that
by the red flag with the skull which it
was his privilege to carry. He came
so near to me that I could see him
salute me. Then, with an ironical cry,
he let loose a "volley from his maxim.
I answered with my rifle. I did not
injure him. He rose, following me.
We dodged and veered and placed
about each other. Then he dived in a
straight swoop, coming so'near me in
his calculated drop that I felt sure he
would crash into me and send the ma-
ehines crashing to earth. And then
ho aimed point blank at me with his
revolver.
The ball went through my leg. I
swayed in the seat; but the next mo
ment he was far in the distance, re
turning to continue his battle.
Hausen, the most chivalrous of ene
mies, had chosen to encounter me
upon equal terms. He had no aid with
him; hence he had nothing but a
revolver with which to fight. I dropped
my rifle and drew mine. As he passed
me we blazed at each other. The bul
lets went wild. Again we drew apart.
And now I had almost crossed the
apex and was nearing Sarcy. I knew,
from the distant end in the long line
of the intrenchments, and from tho
shining river, that my course was al
most at an end. Hansen knew, too,
that his last chance had come. He
flew straight for me; I evaded him by
a hair's breadth, and I realized to my
horror that he had determined to ram
me in air and bring both our machines
to earth rather than let me escape
him.
I flew madly toward my goal. Han
sen, in his light Fokker, was clearly
my superior in maneuvering. He
could bide his time. He dropped like
an arrow. I twisted and turned in
vain. I saw the machine approaching
me, gave him my last shot and flung
the revolver into his face. Next in*
stant he was upon me.
The crash was fearful. The ma
chines seemed locked together in air.
For an instant I had a view of the
ironic face of Hansen; the next min
ute we were falling to earth together.
Somehow we became disentangled.
Above the nois9 of the raging battle
below I heard the halting thump of my
motor. The sound was like music in
my ears. By great good fortune I was
falling right side up. How I contrived
it I do not know, but I righted the ma
chine, steadied her and volplaned
downward, to land behind our ad
vanced lines and, by a strange chance,
before the tent of General Dufour him
self.
Then, as they helped me out of the
wrecked machine, I became conscious
of another aeroplane upon the ground.
It was the Fokker of Hansen,
smashed to pieces. Hansen himself —-
but I draw a veil over that. He was a
brave antagonist and it was an honor
to have met him.
I saluted General Dufour and handed
him the roll of plans. He took it and
looked at me in astonishment.
“You flew across the salient of ther
enemy’s lines?” he asked in incredu
lity.
“Yes, my general,” I returned mod
estly. “And fought off five aeroplanes,
of which I have brought one back aa
a trophy.”
“You fool!” he burst out angrily.
“Did you not know that these plans
were meant to be found when your
aeroplane fell in the enemy’s lines?
And you, imbecile, why are you not
dead?”
“I can oblige you, my general,” I an
swered weakly, looking downcast.
And yet it was war, and what is one
man’s life In war?
Then I must have toppled over, for
suddenly, out of a fog. I saw the gen
eral’s eyes fixed upon my face.
“You have done bravely,” he said,
with that tone that goes straight to a
Frenchman’s heart. He handed me the
roll. “It is useless,” he said. “But
after the war you can —frame it as a
memorial.”

Why is it, I wonder, that the French
man always has been —and still is—
portrayed in British comic journals in
the traditional guise of a gay boule
vardier. wearing a Van Dyke beard

affect? Marcel Boulenger asks iu

Do you remember the legendary
Marius of Marseille, whose droll sil
houette was one of the masterpieces of
poor Caran d’Ache’s delightful art?
Such, or nearly such, is the portrait ac
corded us—in the most friendly way,
of course —on the other side of the
Channel. In the naive imagery of
the British people it is thus we appear.
And no matter where this strange,
gaudy personage shows up. Tommy At
kins affectionately gives vent to
cheers, for he has recognized his com
rade.
But why under the sun should the
sympathetic Tommy picture us like
that? He should know better now. He
surely knows that the average French
man no more resembles Marius than
does the typical Englishman resemble
Lord Dundreary. But no matter. Con

Gathering up the fragments, as the
Bible tells us, is a sure way to a lift*
of plenty. Even so elusive and
ephemeral a thing as the soap bubble
is being conserved in these days of
scientific management and office effi
ciency. Even the office boy has heard
the call of thrift, and has answered it
by attaching a string to a magnet
and pulling it over the office floor
and pushing It into inaccessible cor
ners, the result of which has been an
acquisition of pens, pins, paper clips
and numerous office accessories which
would otherwise be lost. —Popular
