London, Nov. HO. In the Dally Ex-!
press the. f'oiuitcPN of Warwick gives'
ai Interesting sketch of bir John .
French. J
My first meeting with Field Mar-J
shal Kir John French, commander In ;
chief of the "contemptible Utile army"
that in busy helping to make history,
dates hack to tlie South African war.
My latest meeting with him wag In
August of last year. On each occasion
h was on the point of leaving for the
front.
In the wide space that separates the
Hoer war from the great International
conflict, we met very often; he was
frequently our guest at East on bodge
and sometimes at Warwick castlie, and
I visited him at Government House,
Aldershot. I have hail many opportu
nities of hearlnic his views of the
world problem that confronts lis now,
Joi- ho had seen It coming nearer and'
nearer, and hail labored night and day
to meet It. Other men had doubts;
ho found no room for any.
It was at iaridges hotel we .met
riming the Hoer war. My eldest son,
Guy. Lord Brooke, had then arrived
at Hie ripe tige of 17, and still at El
ton, had sold all his personal effects.
Including ln.s fur coat and Jewelry
given him by fuinlly and frlendH, to
provide himself with the m,ean.s of
getting to the front and equipping
hlniK'if when there. We only learned
his Intention when U was too late to
Mop them, and I do not think that
either rily husband or myself was real
Iv anxious to keep him from nerving
his country'. The only difficulty was
to find him something useful to do,
and Sir .John offered to take him on
Ms staff as galloper. Today I am
pleased to think that he is still serv
ing under him, now as brigadier gen
eral. A Resolute Figure.
I recall General French as 1 saw
him at t'lalrldge's, firm mouthed, curt
l'i manner, briefly Incisive in speech,
saving no more than vas absolutely
necessary, and looking at me with the
(urlijus glance that bespeaks the man
of action who dreams and sees visions.
A strong, resolute flgurf, with an ioii
will hehind It. a human war machine
In perfect order that was my first
impression.

In despair.
He came hack to England wearing
all the laurels of a successful general,
and 1 met him several times in town.
"Th; dust of praise' that Is blown

French than any other dust. He
brushed It sharply away, and devoted
all his leisure to considering the prob
lems of war.

When the entente cordlale was in
the air and there was a chance that
Great Britain and France would work
aide by side, he was delighted. Such

one, and he was, I may say, one of the
first. If not the very first, of our lead

Appreciation of Its value. Unfortu
nately, though a well educated and, in
a strictly professional sense, a deeply
read man, he had no knowledge of the
French language, and he could not
rest until that defect was remedied.
Su In the summer of 1906 I think this
was the year he settled in the little,
village of La Boulle. near Rouen, and
lived for three months in absolute re

the European clubs of I'era he has al

Since the Count's Zeps have been
Zepping London, no self-respecting
Londoner has gone to bed in anything
unfit for public gaze.
Tasteful blue and pink pajamas,
masculine and feminine variety, the
lftter beribboned and frilled, are the
vogue. They nave almost entirely su
perseded the gool old homely unfiilled
"nighty." Fancy red, blue or pink
slippers to match the gorgeous "night
ies" are also most proper, while it is
intimated in the best circles that
nightcaps not liquid ones have come
back to their very own.
Tatent hair curlers have been dis
carded by the women. No feminine
Londoner, says good authority, will
take the risk of being "Zepped" In
these, at least, not in "Zepping" season.

stantinople Is Declaration
of Turkish Merchant,
MOSLEMS IN READINESS
One Word From Sultan Would Prompt
El Senuesi to It Xoose Armed
Hordes of the Faithful.
London, Nov. 20 (I. N. 8.) "Britain
and her allies will never tak Constan
tinople. Their policy In the Balkans
has been stupid and sujcldal. Before
they beat the Turkish empire they will
b. faced with over forty millions of
Moslems, for a world wide Jehad, or
holy war, is now in course of prepara
tion. This was the statement today of
Mr. Kahlda, a prominent Turkish mer
chant who has but recently left Con
stantinople. He ranks high among his
compatriots as a Mohammedan who
has made a pilgrimage to Mecca. He
declares that the peril of a great holy
war is Imminent.
"The preparations for a Jehad." said
Mr Kahlda, "have.been going on since
1S11, when Italy attacked Turkey. So
fa as Turkey is concerned in the pres
ent war she has little money to con
tinue, but she is receiving support, and
the nation Itself is rich, and the people
are intensely patriotic.
Turkish Army Efficient.
"The army is a perfect fighting ma
chine as the British and French now in
Gallipoll have admitted. The rulers
of the Ottoman empire recognize that
this is likely to be a fight to the death,
and in the last resort, should therq be
a sign that Turkey is likely to be
beaten there still remains the last re
sort. That effort would be the great
est of all, and would effectively par
alyse the enemies of Islam. All ar
rangements have been made to put this
into effect, and call a holy war.
"Should the sultan find the empire
imperilled he has It In his power, as
the personal representative of the
prophet, to call a Jehad, which would
mean a general uprising of all Islam
against the empire's enemies. Despite
all reports to the contrary, no such
call has been made, though the kaiser
of. Germany knows well what power
the sultan has, and has been assured
that the call will be made if neces
sary. "Abdul Hamid once made such a
threae and so ended Eurosjen aggres
sion, but the passing of Abdul Hamid
Thas not changed the position, for the
t present sultan Vould be supported by
an even greater personage In the Mos
lem world I mean the veiled -prophet
of Kufra, at whose sign over forty
million Mohammedans will be hurled
against Turkey's enemies. That sign
will be given perhaps sooner than ex
pected. Mohammedans Are United.
"The great powers have long known
of the power of this veiled prophet,
Sidi el Senussl. The British foreign
office has been at pains to find cut
all about him, and is well -aw-aro that
after 26 vnr Kl Kenunhi has welded
together all the Moslems of every race.
From India to Haussaland, and from
Acla Minor to the source of the Nile
every Mohammedan is united with his
brothers In blind obedience to the
prophet.
"El Senussi has been seen by only
one white man, the late Herr Nachti
gal, the German traveler, and the two
had an interesting conversation. El
Senussti is descended directly from
Mohammed's favorite wife. He has
the infallible mark between his thonl
dtrs, his eyes are blue, and one of his
arms Is longer than the other all
proof of his right to the Important
position he holds.
"Whenever the Senussl founds a new
colony he appoints a rookkadim and
civil governor. He buys up caravans
of slaves and after teaching them his
doctrine sends them abroad to teach
it to the tribes from which they came.
Abdul Hamid was converted by him,
and the present sultan has now become
one of his pupils.
Prophet Merer Seen TJnveUed.
"Only lately the French military in
telligence department tried to find out
what the Senussi was planning. They
sent emissaries to Tunis and Algiers,
but El Senussi knew, of the coming
of these spies before they landed, for
he too has spies In every Important
pert in the Mediterranean and beyond.
Save for the mokkadims who confer
with tbe prophet once a year, he is
never seen unveiled.
"Ten years ago, under his direction,
when his capital was at Jerebub, great
factories and armories were estab
lished for the coming Jehad, and
weapons were transported by caravan
from Asia, Arabia and even from South
Africa. Five thousand camels are
kept in readiness In case of a surprise
attack by his enemies."

TO SPEAK ENGLISH;
That Day of ' Deliverance Is
Coming Is Their Firm Be
lief Children Independent.
London. Nov. 20. (I. N. S.)
The following account of conditions
lu Belgium is from the pen of an
American who has arrived in Jxmdon
after a year's stay in the Belgian
capital :
"Belgium today is learning to speak
English. Everywhere you go, you can
see the old and young usually carry
ing notebooks, studying in the streets
and trams. In the cafes, restaurants,
and in the homes, all talking English,
using English expressions and words
on all possible occasions.
"Belgium is confident. You have
only to look at their faces to see it,
and if you talk with them, they say,
'Just wait.' The day of deliverance is
coming. It may be this summer or
next summer, but never? Vous ete
fou!
Divided Into Tare Districts.
t "From the Germany military stand
point. Belgium is organized into three
districts, the first, the Operattons
gebeit or the zone of operations,
which extends some 15 to 20 miles
behind the actual line of fighting;
the second, the Etappen, which Is an
intermediary zone where all the sup
plies for the front are collected and
distributed; and the third, the Occu-patlons-gebeit
or the occupied terri
tory organized with both military and
civil governments. No person can go
from one to the other except on spe
cial permission, and then only by
train, which includes as one of its
comforts a thorough searching.
"No person can leave the town In
which he lives, except by train or or.
foot. Those who wish to ride in
automobiles must pay 20 marks a
week or more. In the fortified cities
of Eiege, Namur, and Antwerp, you
must be in your houses at 9 o'clock
in the evening.
Plight to Holland XTsqnsst.
"Naturally no Belgian can go . to
Holland except by stealth, and I have
good reason to believe that some 60,
000 have passed the frontier since the
first of the year. Sometimes this
necessitates the killing of one or two
sentinels.
"Above all It is 6trlctly forbidden
to sing or play the Brabanoon, the
Marseillaise, and Tlpperary, as a re
sult of -which, nearly every Belgian
can sing Tlpperary and does so very
often. On the Boulevard Anspach :n
Brussels one day four little boyi
were marching towards the Bourse
singing at the top of their lungs the
Branbanoon. It was not long before
some German soldiers chased them,
catching one, who. . as he marched
away to the Kommandatur. cried out
to his friends: "Run and tell mamrpa
that I am a prisoner of war." The
young Belgians all wear caps modeled
on the soldier's rest caps and are very
independent."
Swiss Newspapers
Placed Under Ban
Berne, Nov. 20. Censorship In
France is becoming even more strict.
All Swiss newspapers, which are not
supporting the cause of the allies, have
been barred from French territory and
are destroyed by the authorities as
soon as they cross the frontier.
Tha publishers recently submitted
a protest to the Swiss federal coun
cil, but they were informed that noth
ing could be done In the matter, as tha
right of the French government to
bar any foreign newspaper is unques
tionable. Now the publishers demand
tha return of the postage paid by them
for the confiscated papers.

TO ALARMING EXTENT
Laws Will Have to Be Re
vised or Some Titles
Become Extinct,
London. Nov. 20. (I. N. S.) The
var is making fearful incursions on
"Norman blood"'ln Great Britain. No
where did the Mother Country's call
to duty find readier response than
among the English nobility and the
casualty lists dally contain many
names of ancient stocks.
The ranks of the peerage are being
thinned in an alarming manner. Many
lamllies are threatened with extinc
tion in the male line.
It is certain that If the war con
tinued tcf" the end of the three year
period which was a favorite guess of
its duration in the early stages, spe
cial measures wlfl be necessary to fill
i.p the lists of the cream of the upper
class here. T
Another result of the slaughter Is
that titles will be lost through It by
many families. In the usual British
patent of nobility the title only de
scends to "heirs of the body male."
There have been exceptions made by
jgrllament In special cases, as where
Lord Roberts' peerage descended
through his daughter. This favor waa
granted because of the great services
Roberts had done for his country. I.arl
Kitchener occupies a similar position
and his title, except In the remote
contingency that he marry and have
a child will descend to his brother ox
lila brother's children.
Laws May Be merlaed.
The w-ar has made such serious in
roads in the higher nobility that It Is
being proposed a special law shall be
parsed providing for soldiers. Where
sole heirs die in their country's ser
vice. It is argued, the titles might well
dt-seend to "heirs female;" or "heirs
general."
Today it would be hard to find a
i oble house In England which Is not
in mourning fo.' a father or a brother,
lost in Flanders, at the Dardanelles,
or on the high seas .
All classes have responded to the
call for volunteers in a way never seen
in any nation before, but the tradi
tional leaders of the people have un
doubtedly the best record of all. To
what an extent the nobility 1s "In
khaki" is seen from the recent debate
In the house of lords which preceded
a refusal to pas a motion authorising
the return from the front of those
peers who had entered the .army.
There jsre today five peerages where
th title will disappear by a death in
the war unless the rule Is changed.
These are the baronies of Knareabor
ough, Playfalr, Ribbleadale. and .htam
fordham and the marquesate of Lin
colnshire. UIm rears Save Bean Xinad.
Six peers Lords Congleton, Ha war
den, Brabourne. Annealey, Do Freyne
and Fetre and about 30 heirs to peer
aces have been killed. In all, So sons
of peers have perished In the struggle.
There are now 213 peers and 424 sons
of peers serving' with the colors.
Many at those who have died are
well known to Americans. Interna
tional turfmen heard with especially
keen regret of tha death of the Hon
orable Francis Lambton, youngest
brother of the Earl of Durham. He waa
a lieutenant In the Royal Horse Guards
and before the outbreak of Armaged
don, he directed a successful training
stable at Newmarket for the plutocrat,
Sir Erneat Cassel.
Lord Redesdale sent four sons to the
war, two with tbs army and two with
the navy. Tift eldest. Major the Hon
orable C. B. O. Fiyman-Mltford. is
dead. One of the others is the Honor
able John Freeman-Milford, who was
a i one time attached to the British em
bassy In Berlin and about two years
ago became the husband of the daugh
ter of the lata German '"coal king"

U c ill ill fiitin, if I i L.'i , uri man ii-

event. After Pegoud died in a mid-air

by the French fighters whenever the

Of course there Hte exceptions; there
are sportsmen In all contests who cheat
and use unfair means. Hut generally
the war in the air Is clean.
Courage Predominant.
It is because the men of the air are
heroes of a superior sort. Such, at
least, is one answer. For, It is pointed
out. most anybody can face txilleta
on the ground when hundreds of thou
sands of others are facing them.
Everybody's coinage Is given to the
Individual, and, almost to bis own be
wilderment, he finds himself doing th
bravest of deeds. But In the air tho
aviator is practically alone. Ills fight
for life Is fought unseen.
When such a brave man meets and
brings down ariothor of his own par
ticular kind, ho seems lo feel y,o per
sonal animosltv toward his opponent,
hut merely a keen rivalry, plus, per
haps, n certain amount of admiration,
depending upon the other's skill and
courage and qualities as a "clean"
fighter.
