LONDON, Jan. 10 (by mail).—Ac
cording to my authentic friend Ray
Hay, of Sunnyside, Wash., there’s no
body in all the armies like Nobby
Clark, of the Pt. Geary Dorse. Nobby
comes from somewhere *n I he U. S. A .
but enlisted In the Canadian cavalry
at Winnipeg. ,
His activities on various Pren h
fronts have won him the D. C, M. with
the bar. the Military Medal with bar,
the Croix de Guerre, the Legion of
Honor and the Cross of St. George,
the last named from the Russian gov
ernment. He’d undoubtedly have the
V. C., for which he has been recom
mended, were it not for his “crime"
record. Nobby is unruly. The pen
alties he has had to pay for his blind
ness tovvard discipline make up a long
list.
But the other day he managed to
have one black mark completely erased.
It seems ninety days' field punish
ment had been ordered for him and he
had only undergone four days of his
term. The officer commanding—to
make this sound technical, one should
say the O. C.—observing changes tak
ing place in the German trenches op
posite, expressed a desire to know
who his new enemies were. Nobby
overheard him express it.
“Beg pardon, sir," said Nobby;
“Will you trade those papers you’ve
got against me for a German soldier?”
“Yes," said the O. C.
Nobby disappeared and presently re
appeared.
“Beg pardon, sir, gimme the pa
pers.”
“First show me your German,” said
the O. C.
“I’ve got him stacked up outside the
trench,” said Nobby, “and if you don't
give me the papers, I'll take him
! back.”
Other volunteers waitresses at the
American Y. M. C. A. htit are still gig
gling over the misadventure that be
fell one of their number this week. A
grateful Canadian soldier offered the
one in question a sixpence by way of
a tip.
“I can’t take it,” said the waitress
—with hauteur.
“Oh, that's all right,” said the sol
dier, “nobody’s looking.”
“You don’t seem to know who I am,’
said the waitress.
“No, who are you?”
“I am Lady-.”
“Is that so,” returned the Cana
dian cordially: "you don’t look it.’
Since I've been in London I've learn
i ed a lot about Winston Churchill. I’ve
learned:
That his sun has set never to rise
again.
That he’s bound to be the nexi
prime minister.
That he has the most precocious
mind ever bestowed on a youth of 41
years.
That he never has learned how tc
think.
That submarines would be a thing
of the past if he had been retainec
as first lord of admiralty.
That the British navy would havt
been a thing of the past if he hadn’l
been fired.
England’s opinions are not exaltl)
unanimous on the subject of the Rt
Hon. Winston, but they are certainlj
positive. Everybody agrees thai
whatever he is he is superlativelj

that. Wherefore the introductory re
mark of Ambassador Page—introduce
ing him as principal speaker at the
weekly session of the American Lunch
eon Club today—opened up stagger- j
ing possibilities for the imagination.
‘‘When we consider,” said the am
bassador, “that he is only half Ameri
can, we can’t help wondering what
he would have accomplished had he
been wholly American!”
A sandy-haired, eye-browed and
coinplexioned man rose when the
cheers and laughter had subsided. His
round face looked youthful, but his
hair was worn thin as if by hard.
thinking, and his shoulders stooped a ;
though they carried the weight of a
century. This stoop is the munition;
minister's most striking physical li
acteristic. A yardstick touching both
the back of his head and his shoulder;;
would register an angle of 4r> degrees,
Aand yet he looks vigorous and
strong.
The speech he delivered, as read in
the evening papers, is a profoundly
eloquent oration. As heard across the
smoke-filled banquet room of the
Savoy it was something less. Care
fully written orations sometimes are
like little folks; they should be seen,
not heard. Perhaps this thought oc
curred to Lord Northeliffe, sitting next
I to the speaker, for he left before
Churchill ended, possibly preferring t >
read the finished article in the proof.
If to others this sounds unkind, it
| won’t to Churchill, for it has not been
long since he was a journalist and
every journalist who has become a
statesman will tell you he can't help
writing his speeches with a view to
how they will look in print rather than
how they will sound when delivered.
At that, being still young, Churchill
may yet become a great orator. He
has one thing in common with De
mosthenes—a lisp. It leads him to
say “English langwish” and “little
shattered shtates,” but in his case, as
in Demosthenes’, it can’t keep him
down.
He will yet be prime minister—if
his sun hasn’t set.

PURITAN GOES ASHORE
DURING i SNOW STORM
The fishing boat Puritan, of the
Booth Fisheries Company, is hard
aground at Cape Cleare, on Montague
Island, and if a southeaster springs
up will be a total loss. The Puritan
ran aground about a week ago during
J a wind and snow torm but it was not
i until three days ago that any boat
happened to be in the vicinity to ren
der aid.
The Zapora, of ths Independent
fisheries Company, of Seattle, last
Thursday, when at sea; received wire
less instructions to go to the aid of
the Puritan and she did. At high tide
the Zapora attempted to pull the Puri
tan into deep water but jagged rocka
were holding her firmly.
The Zapora arrived in Seward after
casks to be used in floating the Buri
tan and left for Cape Cleare having
secured fifty empty whiskey barrels
there. These will be lashed along the
j sides of the Puritan and are expected
to float the craft at high tide.
Capt. Jacob Hansen, of the Zapora,
stated that the Puritan left Seattle
two weeks ago for the halibut banks
along southwestern Alaska. Last
Thursday Capt Hansen received wire
less Instructions to go to the aid of
the Puritan. The captain and three
members of the crew of the Puritan
were standing by the vessel when the
Zapora arrived, the others having
started out in dories for Latouche to
secure assistance.
The Zapora tried for two days to
pull the Puritan off the rocky beach
but was unsuccessful. There is a
small hole forward but this will be
patched, if the boat is saved, and she
i will then steam to Seward probably
| j^uL/iamages repaired.
■ ■
The Puritan is one of the largest
fishing boats on the Pacific, being 90
tons burden, 125 feet long and fitted
up in regular steamer style.
