Georgia Lieutenant Gives His I Estimate of Enemy, i Man for Man the American Has It All Over the Boche, He Says. i Atlanta, Ga.?"Don't worry about me, mother; m be better in a few days than before because of a good rest," wrote Lieut. L. V. Stephens to his mother from "over there," after he had recovered from a gas attack and shell shock during the big drive started July 18. He longs to go back into action. Describing the 'Hop's fighting ability Lieutenant Stephens says: "What ~a treacherous, cowardly lot they are," he said. "They'll blaze away with their machine guns and do their best to kill all the Americans on earth, but when we get to within a hundred or two yards of them, out they come with absolutely no weapons on their persons, their hands high in the air and calling for all they're worth: 'Kqmerad, Kamerad.' With , some few exceptions they absolutely will not mix it witn tne Americans. J This is no exaggeration at all, but a c simple fact. I went over the top with ' the infantry wirh the exception of the 3 first all through the drive nntil I was" sent back to the hospital, and therefore I know what I am talking about.

Herbert H. Asquiih, former premier, 5 often mentioned as a possible addi? 011 to the present cabinet. The Manhester Guardian points out that if this appens Lloyd George wiil have two jrmer prime ministers among his subrdinates. There is no former instance f this state of things in modern his)ry, and it is a long time now since an Inglish government contained in a ?condary place even one former prefer. Tne classical case occurred about the liddle of last century, and Is furnishd. by the game of see-saw which was layed by Lord John Russell and Lord almerston. In the government of 346-52 Lord John Russell was prime linister and Lord Palmerston foreign scretary, and in the government of fhoir two nositions were ex ctly reversed. It was Lord John Russell's exceponal fate to be prime minster from le age of fifty-four till that of sixty, ) be in and out of subordinate office, nder Lord Aberdeen and then under ord Palmerston, from sixty to sevenp-three, and at that age to be prime linister again. If Lloyd George gets Mr. Asquith as rell as Mr. Balfour he will have all the ving former premiers except one, th xception being Lord Rosebery, whose eriod of office?15 months?was so hort as to compare with the meteric premiership of the age of Caning. :LASH LIGHTS IN UNISON 'Irefliea Seem to Have an Understanding as to When to Begin an Illumination.'
