LONDON, Dec. 14.—Col. Buchan did
not have much today except a good
story. It had to do with the fact that
in Jerusalem there has been an an
cient proverb foretelling that the city
would be delivered from the Infidel by
a man whose name would mean “God
on foot.”
“God is Allah. ‘On fot’ is ‘en bey* or
something like that,” he continued
“We’re wondering what the effect of
Allenby’s entry will be. He entered
on foot, too.”
Col. Buchan—Lt. Col. John Buchan,
to be exact—is the London correspon
dent's first and last chance. If you
want to know something in a hurry,
and haven’t time to conduct your own
research, you ask Buchan; if you con
duct a first-class research of your own
without success, before you give up
ask Buchan.
The director of information is a i
' young man, or at least, he is youthful .
—like George Creel. But apparently ]
he has been stowing away information
all his years; which is odd. consider- ,
ing that he has been giving off inform- l
ation almost as long. For the Lt. Col. i
is the same John Buchan who wrote t
“The Battle of the Somme,” “The Tax
• I ation of Foreign Income,” “Sir Walter .
! Raleigh,” “A Lost Lady of Old ;
j I Etc., Etc., Etc., and Is now CvrU^ig ,
j I “The History of the War” in an In- ]
! definite number of volumes.
\ I When he finds time to write nobody
E has discovered, for he Is always either
| just going out Or just coming in, to or
j from the war office or the admiralty
> or the colonial office or the prime
\ minister’s house or the war cabinet.
| Got the truth today about what he
j came of that colored battalion that
> was to have been raised in London for
, service in France. Got it from George
Washington himself. George, messen
| ger at the American consulate gener
| al, former U. S. cavalryman, was prime
j mover in the enterprise which started
| immediately after the United States
| declared war.
| “What happened," he said today,
| “was that while I was conducting the
| necessary correspondence involved in
j launching an expedition of this un-j
| precedented character and removing!
1 such obstacles as were inherent in the
| very nature of the undertaking, all the
| gentlement who had associated them
| selves with me in the proposition, they
| all got jobs in a British labor battal
ion and went to France.”

» Consul General Skinner has good
if news for American women in London.
£ A cargo of American shoes is about to
be allowed to arrive.
American women marooned in Eng
land regard the Inability to get Ameri
can shoes as one of the real horrors of
war.
LONDON, Dec. 18.—It was cold to
night, several degrees below freezing,
as they say here, zero not being the
reckoning point since the thermometer
never reaches it.
There are four or five subway sys
tems in I^andon, one of them called
he Underground, for the reason, pre
sumably. that it runs mostly above
ground. The others being really un
derground, continue operations during
Hr raids, but the Underground stops.
[ live on the Underground and the
•aid meant staying downtown for din
ler.
The restaurant around the corner
was going full blast, the waiters not
aking to the wine cellars as they did '
ast time.
Soon the anti-aircraft guns also were
;oing full blast. They whammed away
■ util the noise became monotonous.
Jccasionally the nearer ones sub
ilded and the sound of the soup could
>e heard in the restaurant, but all the
ime there were some guns going
omewhere within hearing. Only two
lombs were heard. Following these
wo there was a fierce outburst from
he nearby guns and then a long lull.
Utilizing the lull, which meant ab
ence of shrapnel at least, went back
o the office. There business was as
isftad.' Discussion of the raid was in a
cey to suggest that it might be in pro
cess in Salonika or Flanders, not in
Imndon. Least interested of all, ap
larently, were the girl stenographers.
Hustled homeward on the ‘‘All
Dlear’’ signal.
Found the streets rapidly filling
with others headed the same way. It
was dark but the presence of the
flurrying crowd could be told by the
echoing patter and shuffle of feet,
rhis was the predominant sound with
accasionally the laughter or giggle of
iffice girls who appeared to regard .
:he experience as a lark. 4
Now and then, from far away came
the bugle call signifying to the resi
dence districts that the raiders had
departed. The Boy Scout buglers to
whom this job is entrusted were hav
ing the time of their important young
lives.
There was some talk of the raid be
tween friends and acquaintances, but
nobody within my hearing so far over-,
stepped the proprieties as to speak to
a stranger about it.
And that approximates what the
average raid appears to mean to the
average Londoner. Outside the aver
age, of course, are those to whom the
raid brings direct disaster. Tonight’s
could include a large number in that
list, since ten at least are reported
killed and several times that many in
jured.
