Tells of His Experience Last Summer
In Europe.
Mr. Paul Gilmore, who is to play at
the Astoria Theatre Sunday evening.
in his new play, "The Boys of Com
pany B," was seen at his hotel re
cently and chatted a few moments
with the representative of a newspa
per about his summer experience on
the continent and his study of th
various phases of military zeal in
England and France. "Nearly every
one," said Mr. Gilmore, "goes aboard
for recreation, and so did I. But my
principal recreation was the study of
not only the soldiery of the variou
countries, but also the attitude of th
people to their militia, and this, after
all, was the most interesting phase of
the matter in both countries. There
is no country in Europe where the
militia is held in such high esteem as
it is here at home. In England the
regiments are composed of men of a
single separate class. In France, the
soldiery is looked upon as something
for the woman to flirt with, and in
Germany the army is an institution
for the protection to the state, exact
ly similar to our own police on an
enlarged scale. The part I play in
The Boys of Company B,' Captain
Tony Allen, would be as impossible
in a European militia company as the
practice of the democratic principles
of our constitution would be in auto
cratic Russia. I read selections of
my play to some of the officers I met
in Paris and Brussels, and was con
stantly met with the responseThat
would be impossible with us.' In
America, thank God, we are all sol
diers, I replied, 'just as we are all
American citizens.' There are no
class distinctions, or difference of
rank, no variations from the one
standard of American gentleman."

SAN FRANCISCO, March 4.-The

win, has revealed the fact that he had
a third daughter of whose existence
few were aware. The youngest child
of the famous plunger and horseman

Oakland candy manufacturer. She is
well known in Oakland society and
church circles, where she has made a
notable record as a charity worker.
Mrs. Selby will profit to the extent of
$50,000 by the will of her father.
The body of the late turf magnate
