A Compelling Scene Was
Recent Review In Hearing
Os British Trenches
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
BRITISH HEADQUARTERS In
France, Sept. 11.—Officers who have
been through the campaign since its
start at Mons a year ago speak of thj
recent review of the British troops
at the front as one of the most com
pelling scenes they have ever witness
ed. The spot was a parade ground not
many miles from the trenches. Three
battalions of Guards made a wall of
khaki which melted into the back
ground of sward and hills. At a re
view in England they would have
formed a most brilliant display in
their gorgeous parade uniforms —these
famous crack regiments officered by
sons of the famous families of Eng
land. Again and again their ranks
had been thinned and refilled. Officers
of the old regular army who had come
as spectators recognized familiar
faces of the survivors among the offi
cers and saw many strange faces who
J
had taken the place of those who had
fallen.
‘ But the Guards are still the Guards
—Scots or Irish or Grenadiers o' 1
Coldstream,” said one of the officers.
Lord Kitchener and M. Millerand, the
French minister of war, who were
seeing the British front together, re
viewed them. It was the second visit.
to the front paid by “K,” as every offi
cer calls him.
Sir John French appeared first,
walking across the parade ground to
the reviewing station where he wel
comed Lord Kitchener and M. Miller,-
and, who arrived in a big Llimousine
Perhaps there were in all fifty specta
tors, mostly officers stationed in the
neighborhood, of a scene which had a
thrill for all that no review in England
watched by a big concourse including
gaily dressed women ever haa. Not a
woman was present, not a civilian, ex
cept the correspondents. A bright sun
was shining. Five of six thousand
feet overhead a British plane was pa
trolling the air in a great circle dur
ing the ceremony.
As the secretaries of war of England
and France faced the Guards, their
bayonets rose at present arms in
gleaming rigid lines. Lord Kitchener's

khaki made him hardly discernible
against the wall of khaki as the party
walked the length of the front ranks
in formal inspection. M. Millerand in
his black suit with short coat and his
slouch traveling hat and trousers tuck
ed into a pair of gaiters was a distinct
moving black point. When they re
turned to the reviewing station the
band struck up the Marseillaise and
while Lord Kitchener and Sir John
and the other officers stood at the sa
lute that one civilian figure in this
military scene stood uncovered.
Then with the march past the banc
played the airs associated with the
regiment whose companies were going
by. One officer at th e head of his vet
i erans was conspicuous becaus ehe sa
luted with his left hand. His right
sleeve was empty. Guardsmen must
be tall; and some of the giants were
taller than Lord Kitchener himself. A
number of the men in the ranks had
fought at Mons and on the Aisne and
survived, too, from the first and sec
ond battles of Ypres. Others had yet
to see a battle. Every rifle, every
arm that seld a rifle, ecery foot as P
was lifted seemed perfectly in line.
“The Guards still know how to
march past though they have been to
, war for a year,” said a staff officers
who had been in the Guards.
As the last company was going past
another kind of music was heard. All
. the chauffeurs of the party were crank
ing up their cars. It is well known
that "K” wants no time wasted be
tween functions and inspections when
he is at the front. A volley of clicks
as limousine doors were closed, and
the two war ministers who are at the
head of the armies of France and Eng
land were away to other scenes. Nat
urally they also inspected portions
of the new army—which the French
peasants and villagers all call the
“Keecheenaires.”
“I had always heard of ‘K‘ as a grim
sort of man," said a lieutenant in the
new army. “But he was smiling and
genial to us —quite different from what
■ we expected. We were a little fright
-11 ened w'hen we heard he was going to
; inspect us.”

SYNDICATE WILL SALVAGE
SUNKEN GERMIN EMOEN
SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. 11 —A
specially organized syndicate of Syd
new contractors which, as announced
y by cable, has received permission to
s salve the wreck of the German cruiser
n Emden will begin work about the
s middle of this month. The wrecked
- sea raider lies on the reefs of Keeling
t Island in the Cocos group in the In
i’ dian Ocean, where she was beached
e after the Australian cruiser Sydney
J defeated her last November in a hot
r running fight. The company which
• will undertake the task of preserving
s the former German craft intends to
use her for show purposes, but the
Q defense department has stipulated that
e later she must be sold to the Austral
g ian government at a price to be fixed
by it
A novel feature of raising the big
I cruiser will be the use of reinforced
t concrete in stopping the gaping holes <
e * in the hull made by the Sydney’s ter
\ rible broadsides. When the Emden
d has been floated and patched up she
<5 will be towed 600 miles to Java to be
made seaworthy. In her use as an ex
t hibition of modern naval warfare great
y care will be taken to preserve the
(. vessel in as neajly as possible the
condition she was in when she was
driven ashore by her captain.
o
The work of the wreckers, who will
o
number about 50 all told, mill not be
s
without its romantic side. Keeling
Island lies apart from the main Cocos
1 group and is lonely and uninhabited
It is a coral atoll, and it and the
surrounding seas are of the most
tropical character. The salvers, who
will have a steamer filled with pro
visions and stocked with wrecking ma
chinery and contrivances, will be
4,000 miles from Sydney, 2,000 from
g
Ceylon and 1,600 from Fremantle, the
chief port of the west Australian coast
s
Switched the Beverage.
Two old Scotch fishermen, haying
e Imbibed overmuch, were on their way
home, and overcome w'th a great de
■lre to sleep, accordingly they
a stretched themselves on the warm
, beach eands and were soon slumbering
heavily. The tide crept In, awakening
the one nearest the water aa a wavele
t dashed a quantity of the salty llqub
. Into his mouth. Half asleep, he starte
to arise, saying: “It's time we wi.
' awa’ oot 1' this boose. They’re changin’
1 the drink on us.” i
