Once Smartest Volunteer Foot
Soldiers In 'World, Striking,
t ly Changed by Service.
LONDON, June 12. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) The Honor
able Artillery Company of London,
w hich, like Its counterpart and relative
in Boston, is one of the oldest and
most aristocratic military organiza
tions in existence, r.jw has In the field
an organization which includes hun
dreds of members of the wealthiest
and most aristocratic families In Eng
land. They have proved their merit
and their democracy on countless oc
casions since they went to France early
in the war.
An observer at British headquarters
sends the following account of a viBit
to the "H. A. C." on a day when they
were resting in the reserve lines:
"Beyond the last farmhouse," he
writes, "I came upon a field about the
size of Madison Square, in New York,
filled with precise rows of bareheaded,
half-dressed soldiers, sitting on their
blankets like Mohammedans at prayer,
enjoying the baking sun.
"That's the H. A. C.,' said my guide,
and vanished.
Metamorphosis la Complete.
"None of the Honorable Artillerymen
looked up from their meditations as I
walked between them. Some wore
trousers and no shirt: others varied
the picture by wearing a shirt and no
trousers. All were evidently tired, and
lazy. Some were sewing on buttons
or mending damaged sections of their
attire. Others had their garments
thrown across their kness. Inside out,
and were inspecting them inch by inch,
gravely and methodically. I had an
impression that I was Intruding upon
a solemn and not unimportant cere
mony. There was absolute silence.
i "How many friends of this famous .
regiment would have recognized the
cropped, unshaven assemblage sitting
on army blankets In that cow pasture?
They had nothing in common with the
epics; and span young gentlemen who
used to appear as glittering guards of
' honor at the London Guildhall and
were generally voted the smartest vol
unteer foot-soldiers in the world. They
looked, in fact, as hard and uncom
promising a set of ruffians as could
be found anywhere in the area of the
war. Hard as nails, they were calm
of eye, sunning themselves after a
week of careful killing, as though the
punishment of Germans had always
been their business.
Imprnwlve Silence Reigns.
"I walked up and down between the
rows, trying to readjust my mental
picture of the Honorable Artillery Com
pany. Here was a wealthy young gen
tleman from the city sitting In his
shirt with his legs bared to the midday
breeze, thoughtfully sewing a button
on his trousers. He pricked his finger
and swore softly. Next to him was a
famous Cambridge scholar, wearing
eyeglasses and trousers. His gray shirt
was spread out in the sunshine and he
regarded it somewhat morosely.
"The silence was striking. I had
passed other battalions not from the
trenches In billets nearby, and the
cheerful chatter of the men could be
heard on all sides. Here the stillness
was broken only by the sound of bag
pipes from the next village, and the
final preluncheon delivery of German
shells.
"When the H. A. C. took over the
portion of trenches assigned them the
enemy was engaged in improving his
defenses amid certain ruins. Sandbags
were brought up at night and utilized
as a breaswork against the shattered
walls. Then came a profusion of ma
chine guns.
Germans Rely en Machine Guns.
"The force of enemy Infantry was
really small, but the enemy counted as
usual on machine gun defenses as be
ing more efficacious than riflemen. In
a way they are right. Machine guns
cannot Doit wnen troops attack.
"During the week the Germans be
came bolder and bolder In their move
ments behind their defenses. The H. A.
C. bided their time, and at the right
moments they brought down groups of
workers who dared "to show them
selves out of cover.
"A staff officer came down one day
last week to inspect the new German
defenses, and his contempt for British
marksmanship cost him his life. He
could be seen walking about behind the
breastworks, giving orders and other
wise emphasizing his importance.
'"A certain crack shot waited quietly
beside his rifle. The German officer
came up to the breastwork and looked
through a loophole at our trench. The
markings on his cap could be plainly
seen. There was a shot and a screaml
The bullet hit him squarely In the face.
"Immediately the Germans turned
loose their machine guns in a blaze of
fury. That in itself was sufficient
assurance, that the officer had been
killed. No one was hurt, although the
parapets were peppered with bullets.
When the enemy was tired of shooting
they shouted threats and Imprecations
. across their sap-head."
FEMALE LABOR HACKING
British Trades Generally Active, and
Wages Continue to Rise.
LONDON. July 16. Shortage of male
labor in the United Kingdom, which
was reported by nearly all trades in
April, has now extended to female and
boy labor, according to the Board of
Trade Labor Gazette's monthly review
of the labor market.
Enlistment makes the working of
Liie t-oai-mining industry and building
trades difficult: metal trades are c.
tive; while engineering and shipbuild
ing trades continue to work at high
pressure with night shifts. Sundav
work and much overtime. Textile,
iraaes are weu employed and various
other industries show Improvement. In
agriculture there is a general scarcity
of labor.
Increase in wages Coming Into
operation in jviay amounted to 1940,000
a week, the largest ever recorded in
any montn.
War Makes London Smokier.
LONDON, June 17. One of the curi
ous effects of the war is that London
13 smokier than ever. War has filled
the factories with unskilled stokers
who do not know how to feed the fur
naces so as to produc the best com
bustive results. All London Is now
complaining of the smoke nuisance.

writing letters. He was visited by
Chief Flynn. of the secret service, who
wanted to learn more about his move
ments in Washington prior to setting
the bomb whieh exploded in the United
States Capitol.
Prisoner describes Hla Plana.
To Commissioner Woods, who visited
him in the afternoon, Holt told briefly
how he planned to hold as hostages
Mrs. Morgan and the Morgan children.
"My plan," said Holt, "was to get
hold of Mrs. Morgan and the Morgan
children, and take them into an up
stairs room, and then send Mr. Morgan
out to see his Influential friends to atop
the exportation of ammunition from
this country.
I planned to take the dynamite into
the room with me and cut a hole In
the door and have the food shoved in
through it. I planned to keep them
there until Mr: Morgan returned and
gave me his promise that the exporta
tion of war munitions would stop. Un
less he stopped it, I would tell him of
my Inteitnon to kill Mrs. Morgan and
the children and myself by exploding
the dynamite."
Holt then tried to tell Commissioner
Woods about the terrible slaughter re
sulting from the war. He Said he
knew Mr. Morgan could stop the war,
and that Is the reason he went to him.
He Insisted he did not Intend to harm
him.
DrnanUte la Object Lun.
Holt said he took the dynamite sticks
with him to show Mr. Morgan every
material that was killing so many In
Europe.
At this Juncture Commissioner Woods
asked Holt why his plans miscarried
Then the former university instructor's
eyes brightened and he said the excite
ment that followed his appearance in
the Morgan home upset his plans.

when he was intercepted. He had a
revolver in each hand, be said, but
that did not prevent someone from
clutching one of his hands. He said
ne thought Mr. Morgan attempted to
stop him and that a scuffle followed.
He became unconscious and remei
bered nothing until he was lodeed in
Jail.
"I did not want to hurt Mr. Morgan."
Holt persisted in reiterating. "I only
wanted him to do something to stop
this terrible war." Holt then told
Commissioner Woods that he had tried
to do what he thought was his duty
and that he hoped his act would help
to end the war. Holt said he had
studied hard until six months ago.

"I still have hopes that good may
be accomplished by my act." he added.
"I did not care about the war. I did
not want America in it. but I was
interested in the war should stop."
After the Interview Mr. Wood de
clared Holt had spent many sleepless
nignts.
"The man appears to be mentally
unbalanced," he said. "He has evldently
brought himself to this poor mental
condition. He appears to be in a state
of utter mental and physical collapse."
Holt protested that he had no ac
complices.
"I acted alone," he added.
"I realize that I did a wrong, but
that wrong was done to accomplish a
great right.

2 ASPIRANTS LIKELY
Ex-Senator Burton and Mann
Are Presidential Possibilities.
BOTH ARE OF SAME TYPE
Each Returns Suddenly Krom For

Ijr as Soon as War News Per

OKEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington July . The unexpetced return
from fouth America of ex-Senator Bur
ton,' of Ohio, and the return from
Hawaii of James R. Mann, of Illinois,
has given an Impetus to political
gossip.speclally as regards the Repub
lican presidential nomination. and
backers of these two candidates an
nounce that movements in their behalf
will be launched without delay. As yet
neither BJrton nor Mann has announced
himself a candidate for the Republican
nomination, yet both are known to
entertain presidential aspirations, and
both have been in conference with men
desirous of becoming their campaign
mHTiagen.
While Mr. Burton was In outtj Amer
ica his friends managed to get con
siderable publicity In his name, and
while Mr. Mann was In Hawaii a
rather imprersl ve Mann bureau was
built up In Illinois, and ' gave signs
of branching out. with offices in Wash
ington and New York as well.
War Prevents Boom Publicity.
The publicity campaign has not been
pressed, however, because of the sur
plus of war news, and the difficulty ex
perienced In getting "boom" stult
printed In the dally nanera
There Is much similarity In the can-
oiaaey or r. Burton and or Mr. Mann
Both are the same tyre, politically
Mr. Hurton, perhaps, enjoys the wider
reputation, because of his long work
on waterway Improvements, and be
cause of the prominence he attained In
filibustering to death two "pork-bar
rel" river and harbor bills, and In an
Plying the same treatment to the ad
ministration's ship purchase bill in the
last session 01 Congress.
Mann Is Republican Lender.
Representative Mann's chler claim to
distinction lies in the fact that he has
been the Republican floor leader In the
House since the Democrats came Into
control of the lower, branch of Con
gress. Prior to that he was chairman
of the committee on Interstate com
mere, and Is author of the pure food
law. the Mann white slave act. and sev
eral Important railroad laws affecting
interstate commerce.
Both Mann and hurton are regular In
their republicanism: neither sympa
thlsed with the Progressive break In
1911. and yet both are of the moderate
ly progressive type, but far from being
radicals. Burton, by some. Is believed
to oe nanaicapped at this time be
cause he is known as a "peace advo
cale" and does not favor larae expend!
lures for the Army and Navy. Mr. Mann
nas no particular record on that eues

"Recently, when we went Into Vera

We could not explain to thera that we

LONDON. June 1. The story of a
Rrilish sub-lleutenant who was so
angered at the loss of a pair of fine
I leld-glasaes that he charged a trencn
of Germans single-handed and thereby
earned the Victoria Cross, waa told at
London University In a lecture by I ro
(easor J. 11. A! org an. who has Just
returned from the front.
"Tl-.ls sub-lieutenant." said Profes
sor Morgan, "possessed a pair of bi
noculars of which he waa exceedingly
proud, and he used to bore everybody
oy talking about them and exhibiting
them. One day our men were driven
back from their first trenches by a
Uerinan attack, in which we lost heav
ily. They retired into the support
trenches, and the men were being
mustered, when suddenly the young
officer exclaimed: 'Ureat fccolt!' and
started at a gallop back toward the
trench occupied by the Uermana.
"lie was given up for lost, but a
sergeant who was fond of him ran
after him. After an Interval the ser-
gant came back alone, and reported
to the company commander: bir, he
haa captured the trench.
"The commander collected some sup
ports and went up. When ho got
around the corner of the traverse, he
found the young officer with a re
volver In each hand, facing a row of
Germans who were holding up their
hands, having laid down their rifles.
"'This is a fine thing. said the com
mander to the youngster. 'Ton will
get the Victoria Cross for this: but
It was a foolhardy thing to do. What
on earth did you do It tor?
"Well. confeased the sub-lleutenant.
I didn't intend to recapture the
trench. I merely went back to get
my binoculars." "
