OTHER HELP IS NEEDED Even Blind Veteran of Boer Cam paign, However, Finds Xlche in Service Artificial Hank Is Mellowed on Occasions. BT WILL IRWIN", Copyright, 1015. by the New York Tribune. ruDiianea by arrangement.) AOETHERN FRANCE, Juno 14. Bo far as the actual operations are con cerned, war holds . no place for the elderly man. More than ever, perhaps, actual fighting is the business of youth. A British officer, but late slightly wounded and returning to the line, was talking on that subject the other day. "1 am 35," he said. and I nave always ku4' exercised and tried will ir..u. to Keep myself fit. But I know I'm not standing it as I would have five or iu years ago, say. The strain and the hardship in the trenches tell on a nian, and his weakput nnint tma hH Jt was digestion in my case even be fore I was hit. there were several days in which I wasn't of much use to the army, men there is rheumatism, which begins to get at most men who are sub ject to it' between 35 and 40. Thfv'rn raised the age limit for line troops to 40. In my opinion, they will get little use out of the extra men they enlist by iiidi-mtuioo. sighting age is athletic age." It happens, however, that not all of "ar ls lne ngnting in the trenches. There is work, stiff work, to do behind the lines in supplying those hordes "mm mane up modern armies ii nm vidmg them with munitions, in getting out the wounded. That is work for intelligence as well as muscle; that is ..u.n. wnicn an earnest middle-aged uu Himout endangering a i-.niipaiiy or a battalion by his physical guineas or aoviniing years, and that .r, uere me middle-aged men, among the world wanderers, the lost legions of England come in. Which is one rea- ny mis British base, so far behind the line that we can hear the cannon only when the wind is favorable, has become one of the most interesting places in all Kurope. Those wandering Englishmen of the upper class one who lives on the out skirts of the world need not travel far to know the type. We had them bv the hundreds on the range of the Western States in the old days, when cow punching was really cow-punching. Viherever there is adventure and out-of-door life they go. They were in the Klondike with the earliest ruah. They were among the first who ever broke into the unknown country about the headwaters of the Amazon. They ride the bush in Australia and the veldt in couth Afrtca. Greater Adventures Sought. And when the war broke, with one accord they came to the defense of Jj-ngland and the greater adventure un der the guns. In the early days of the war I met them on all my ocean cross ings, hurrying home in the hope of a commission, but ready, if the com mission failed, to shoulder a musket with the "Duke's sons, cook's sons" who make up the rank and file of the new British armies. It isn't etiquette to mention names, and. besides, the censor doesn't permit it; but there is one whom I shall call Smith-Jones. He happens to be rich, and yachting is his hobby. His yacht ing is practical; he loves to take the tiilei .himself. He has raced and cruised in all the seven seas. He knows New York Harbor as well .- s he knows Southampton, and the New York Yacht Club as well as the Royal Yacht Club. His permanent or impermanent home is a chateau in France, now become a hospital, and he talks perfect French ' which adds a premium to the services of any British officer in this war. It happens that he has spent most of his working life in the business of railroads his is a great "transporta tion" family. rtailroad Work Has Acquisition. So now he wears khaki with the three stars on the sleeve which desig nate him as Captain, and he is helping to keep - that network of railroads which run between base and line from tangling and stopping. It is always likely to be merry about the hotel when he whom 1 shall desig nate as Browne-Robinson comes down with his train from the line. He is perhaps 55; he is quite stout in spite of an active life, and inclines to bald ness. Browne-Robinson ought to be Irish, what with his wit, but he is. as a matter of fact, blue-blooded English. When the war came he was somewhere in South America, where he was prob ably preparing to mingle in another revolution. Now he is a T. C. O., which means Transport Commanding Officer. As such he has charge, supreme charge, of a train. He may be gone four or five days toward the line, during which he works his brain like a Wall-street broker and his body like a longshore man, and sleeps in what the army calls a "flea-bag." There follow two or three day-B during which he is the joy of the bast, and then he Is off again. Letters That Km I in D. T. I suppose that, like all raconteurs, he touches up his best stories; it seems im possible that so many ridiculous things could come under the attention of one man. This is his latest: The special officials in the British army, and also the service corps of the British army, are cursed" with clumsy official designations. If the army stopped to pronounce them all in full there would be no time left for fight ing. So they fall back upon initials. The Royal Army Medical Corps be comes the R. A. M. C; the Army Serv ice Corps, the A. S. C. and so on. Now it. appears that a bewildered civilian showed up the other day at a railroad. He had business there something to do with army supplies but his papers were irregular and the army intelli gence men arrested him and took him before their chief. "Yes," said the chief, "I am the C. I. O. I suppose you are all right, but you must straighten out your papers. See the A. P. M. You will find him on the ground floor of the R. A. M. C. head quarters next office to the' C. M. O. Get him to vise this and get it counter signed by the T. C. O. of your train. Then see the jr. T. C. O. He is some where about town. Do you know him? He's a big fellow with a little mus tache. Major's uniform with the D. S. O. and the V. C, and " "Stop!" cried the civilian. "Stop! I am getting the D. T.'sP' Now that the Lost Legion of Britain has found Itself and gathered again. STRAYING BRI S TURNING some of the middle-aged or elderly members learn that ttiey are without any special aptitude for high command. In that case they find something to do in the ranks. One of them is past 50. He knows nothing of medicine or rail roads or languages; but he can run an automobile, and do it well. So. like many others of his class, he has volun teered as a Red Cross chauffeur. He is a university man, of great breadth of cultivation and several pleasant lit tle intellectual hobbies. Perhaps because he looked too old to take chances far up toward the line, the impersonal army authorities as signed him as chauffeur to a medical officer who must, in the course of his duties, do much running about the base. Now, when he and his officer are in company, he is the respectful, obedient Tommy, always saluting with that rather elaborate and flourishing salute which the privates use in the British army. It is quite different when they are alone. Similarly, when there is company at the hospital he dines in the basement with the Tommies; but I un derstand that if you should drop in un expectedly you would find him upstairs, like as not, dining with the officers and surgeons. After all, artificial rank can be carried only so far. Finally, there is the most nobly pa thetic case of all. Blind Veteran Serve Country. When I first saw him h camn mnA- denly into sight from a doorway, clad iu iuii mgnianu uniform, even to the sporran at - the belt. I remember catching my 'breath he was such an extraordinary figure of a man. He stood a full six feet two. and it was six feet two of muscle and sinew at tli.t He was broad chested umi r ihk with that athletic litheness of your fit Englishman. He had a fine face, strong and clean cut, and spiritually clean, too And over it all was that kind of light which comes into human faces only from affliction nobly borne.

COTTON POOL PROPOSED NFORMAL ARRANGEMENT WITH BRITAIN UNDER WAY. State Department Will Give No Official Sanction . to Abandonment ' Freedom of Seas. of WASHINGTON. July 22. Formation" of a great American cotton pool to handle exports to Europe under a n agreement with the British govern- ' ment has been proposed informally to the State Department as a means of equitably distributing among the pro ducers such cotton trade as Great Britain and her allies permit to be carried on with neutral countries with out interference on the high seas. Any arrangement of this kind would have to be made directly between the British government and the cotton in terests without participation or ap proval by the State Department. Officials point out that to accede to any restrictions oi trade between neu tral countries in non-contraband would mean abandonment of the principle of freedom of the seas laid down in va rious notes to Great Britain and about la be reannounced with greater insist ence in. another communication now in preparation. It has been suggested, however, that pending settlement of the differences between the two governments, Amer ican officials might informally aid the cotton shippers-and exporters in, any effort they might make to facilitate their trade. ROBBER SUSPECTS TAKEN Police Make Arrests Following In vestigation of Misdeeds. Three Italians, Jim Lanza, Jim Ras soll and John Barone. wre arrested last night in a lodging-house at First and Salmon streets by Detectives Cole man and Snow, who have been in vestigating the robbery of the Oregon City car at Canemah on July 15; the robbery of the Mount Tabor car on July 5, and the robbery of the Wood stock streetcar about the same time. The men are held under tentative charges of vagrancy. All three of the robberies, according to the police, were committed by au Italian. The robber of the Oregon City car wore a long tan raincoat similar to one found in the room of the men arrested last night. According to information the police say they obtained from the landlady of the lodging-house, the three men have been staying in their rooms during the day. Nearly every night, the police say, the three left their room and remained away until nearly morn ing. The men have been at that ad dress for about two weeks. CHANGE IN EXPRESS RATE IS PERMITTED Commerce Commission Finds Companies Are Entitled to Greater Revenue. FORMER ORDER MODIFIED Collection and Delivery Allowance Is Increased and Terminal Charge Reduced Few Com-. modify Rates Are Affected. WASHINGTON. July 22. The Inter state Commerce Commission decided to day that the revenues of the principal express companies of the United States are Inadequate and modified Its former orders to provide additional income. j.ne xaDric or the present express rates Is composed of three factors: An allowance of 20 cents for collection and delivery of each shipment which uui vary witn weignt or distance: a ran terminal allowance of 25 cents per 100 pounds which varies with the weignt but-not with the distance, and the rail transportation rate per 100 pounds, which varies with the weight. me aisiance and the zone. Delivery Allowance Increased. in accordance with the petition of the companies, the Commission modi fied its order to permit changes in the iirst and second factors. The effect is lo increase the collection and delivery allowance five cents for each shipment ana to reduce the rail terminal allow ance at the rate of one-twentieth of one cent a pound. As the weight in creases the five-cent increase Is srraidu- ally reduced so that on shipments of more man loo pounds the readjust ment win not make any change. Muostamtaiiy no commodity rates will be affected. In. ail events, any change in the rate3. with few excep tions, will be substantially lower than those prevailing when the Commission established the zone system in Febru ary, 1914. Inrrrurd Revenue Expected. By that means the express companies are expected to increase their gross revenues about 3.86 per cent The Commission's report shows that the net operating revenues of the four big companies have decreased to a deficit or i,ij-'.sii in the years 1914-1916, ana in tne same period operating in come decreased J2. 449. 863. "While the financial condition of cer tain of the petitioners is more favor ablo than that of others." says the re port, "it clearly appears that, as a wnoie, they are operating at a loss." The Commission declined to chanrre the basis of rates in zone No. 1, the territory ea-n or tne Mississippi and north of the Ohio rivers. , ' SYNOD RULE IS ADOPTED OH KG ON I RESB YTER V CHANGES .METHOD OF HANDLING FINANCES.

(Knorinl r-ariiameniary rireworks characterized the session of the Oregon Presbvterian Synod this afternoon during the pro posal to change the organization of the Oregon home missionary system from the presbytery type to the snyod type of government. The change was finally effected, and represents probably the most important feature of the annual session of the Presbyterian governing body. Under the new system the fiscal haH of the missionary organization in Ore gon is to be moved from New York City to Portland and Oregon is to be considered a single entity in handling 11. unn missionary wora. in the post the control of the missionary oro- gramme in this state rested in the East, and money raised here went into the general terasury in New York. From now on all contribution- f. home missionary work will be depos ited in Portland and will remain within the state. In addition Oregon will re ceive $12,000 from outside Btates. The money will be controlled by a com mission consisting of one delegate from eacn presnytery about the state.

The refusal to dissolve the pastoral contract followed a "deadlock." char acterized as a "misunderstanding," be tween the college and the Oregon par ties, details of which Dr. Gesselbrecht and members of the presbytery refused to discuss.

He had a scythe and motioned as if to strike me with It. 1 told him to stop, but he kept coming at me. and wheii, within three feet I fired the rifle at him. He wrenched the gun from my hands and raised it over his shoulder to strike. I ran back about 15 or 20 yards with Zimmerman at m heels. Then 1 drew my pistol and fired at him. I did not stop him and I ran again. He kept comlmr so I fired again. I do not know how many times I tired and did not know that I had hit him until he turned to the left, leaned against a fence and dropped the rifle. That's all there was to it." John A.
