Jan. 22. Tho story of a colonel ot Australian Infantry who was wounded In the Gallipoll cam palgn and sent back to Australia but who concealed his rank and re-enllst ed as a private to serve with the Aus trallans In France has added to the esteem In which Australians are held In London. Colonel Charles Melville Macnagliteu, the hero ot the story, Is hailed as a man of gallantry and grit. Ho was the son ot Sir Alolvllle Mac naghten, chief of the criminal Inves tigation department ot Scotland Yard, says the Dally Mall, and was I .,. tt A., ....It. tho nne-Btorv. frame photograph irnllcrv !...

Mrs. Gale, who reside on Laurel near West Main, for mnnv mo"'h prodded tlio ndniimstrntion to eon demn the structures and order the; removal, until the council finally or dered the owner to either remove the dwelling or else the fire chief would tear it down. The structure has just been removed, hence the cake pre scntntion; However, the old photo graph shack still stands. XJio cake Was so good that the ninvor and councilmen. hungering for another one, while their mouths were still full, began talking about re. moving the shack from the corner. It stands on leased ground and the owner has moved to another state. "Movesh He eodcil orderesh de i shack removesh." said Councilman Qnddis with a mounthful of cuke. . "Uh uh." was the prompt chorus of the cake consuming mayor and councilmen. , - Along with tho cake Mrs. Gale sent the fullow-intr rhyme addressed to Mavor Gates: Now tliat the war is over, And the house on Main street is gone, The Kaiser and I have decided to et The world in peace roll on. , My thanks to you and your bench men, This means of sending.

I'll bake you a better cake than this And agree to haunt you no more. It is worthy of mention that Mrs. Gale's trust in the council was justi fied, as she received back today the fine plate and silver knife which she had sent with the cake. The council passed the ordinance fixing the water rates to be paid by all industrial concerns and factories of tho city. Each concern of that "kind starting np is to get free water the first year. The ordinance stipu latcs a charge of 10 cents a thousand gallons and the council was unani mouslv agreed that the charge would be enforced and collected hereafter. It wns said that a number of indus trial concerns in the past conven iently forgot all about their water bills. Contrary, to expectation the mayor d;d not announce his appointments to various citv positions. In expln nation after the meeting be said, "wo'll just wait a little while vet." These appointments are usually made when a netf administration goes into power, and the present administration went into office three weeks ago.

After recovery In England he returned to Gallipoll and led his battalion In their immor tal charge at Lone Pine. After tho evacuation of Gallipoll he served for a time In Egypt and was sent from there to England suf fering from wounds and fever. Sur geons refused him permission to re turn to active service and he was sent to Australia as second In com mand of an Australian . training camp. One day he slipped away from the camp and joined a replacement bat tallon in Queensland under the name of Charles Melville and soon after ward was back in England training on Salisbury Plain as Private Mel ville. He was quickly promoted to be corporal and one day was asked toy his commanding officer, "Corpor al, do you think you could drill this company?" Having commanded brigade, the corpora! put the com' pany thru its paces like the veteran he was. Back in France again ha was rec ognized by officers who had known him in Gallipoll as the daring and brilliant soldier they had called "fighting Mac." General Blrdwood, with whom he h'ad served at Lone Pine, sent for him and gave him commission. Not long afterwards Colonel Macnaghten was again sent as an Invalid to England where he was summoned to Buckingham Pal- ace to receive from the king a decor ation as a Companion of the Order of 8t. Michael and St. George which had been conferred upon him several years before for his gallantry at Gal lipoll. While serving in the ranks in France as "Corporal Melville' he had been personally congratulated by the commanding general for . valor at Messlnes Ridge. Macnaghten s fighting days are over now and he is compelled to rec ognize this fact for, as one of his men put it, "he is riddled like a col ander and it is only his fighting spirit which keeps him alive.
