RHODES SCHOLAR RETURNS. tl Paul Hubbell Talks of Conditions sc Along Suez Canal Since War. T fc ''Austrian soldiers are the highest d] paid soldiers in the world and when d: they first arrived on the Suez canal tl they found articles so cheap that few w ever bothered to accept any change. > The average Australian soldier re- s< ceives about $1.25 a day, which, of pj course, is paid by the Australian gov- tl ernment." U This was the statement made by T Mr. Paul Hubbell, Rhodes scholar, to; c< Oxford, England, who spent about; seven months with the English! p; Young Men's Christian association on A the Suez canal with the English bi troops. Mr. Hubbell is from State 1< Road, N. C., and at present is in j g< charge of Gittman's book shop, 375 King street. Hp attended Oxford It during the 1914-15 session and until j I December of the 1915-16 session. He j m expects to return and resume his it studies next year, but has decided to e< -remain in America this year. w In Egypt Until June. C( Mr. Hubbell heard the call of ad- w ^ venture and when the English branch si \ of the Y. M. C. A. began sending out It x -4nen to the various army fronts he d< and a Rhodes scholar from Ohio vol- It unteered. They were the only Ameri- vc cans to go with the company sent to It f Egypt., He remained there until CJ June, when he started on his return c: to America. ,The steamer the party shipped on si was a slow one and it took quite a R T?nrT'T?+ On +Virt mair thfl I al ItlUlC IU JL Cdt 11 JLJ5.J1 VU Llxc noj i,uv vessel was stopped by a French cruis- s* er and after the officer had Inspected C the ship's papers he casually remarked that they had better be a bit careful as five ships had been sunk there H within the last day or two by Ger- g B man submarines. "This caused some- \x B thing of a panic," Mr. Hubbell rer marked, "and many of the men were W \ so frightened that they slept out on si y deck. Life preservers were* placed ? \ over their, overcoats. Perhaps I ^ should have said they intended sleep. , ing out on deck but by 10 o'clock ^ all were so nearly frozen that they q were glad to "turn" in with the rest w of us.- There was little or no excite- ai ment otherwise on the trip over to 2 Egypt. ? "We spent some time in Alexandria, Cairo, and other of the large Egyptian cities, but soon found ourI > selves on the Suez canal, where the main body of the British force was * rL stationed. Australian troops and _ some New Zealanders were also on Til Ife y hand. "At the time the British had a Qt force approximating 1,500,000 men in Egypt, but when I left in June ? there were hardly more than 500,000 * t. there." They Like the Money. [ i Mr. Hubbell was questioned as to ** i i the attitude of the natives to the troops of the allies and remarked: N< "At first they were rather bitter, I might say very bitter, to the English, but the great number of soldiers necessarily brought in a considerably large amount of money, and trade was soon brisk and the* natives are ac fond of trading. They ask one a PP ^ high price for an article and never expect to receive the amount they first ask. L "My personal opinion is that the if f tremendous number of English sol' diers continuously coming and going did more to impress upon the natives ? ? i -in xi ? _ ?the useiessness or reoeiimg man an,y- uj thing else. Skirmishes were frequently had with Arabs by patrols. But one action was engaged in while K I was there, but I see where they j have had some real fighting since ^ then. 26 "The English aeroplane scouts reported that no Germans, or Turks, sa were within one hundred and fifty K miles of the canal. The next day a to regiment of about one thousand men * , were sent to take a town, about ^ twelve miles distant. They were snrnrised bv the Germans and Turks i " . 0i< and but few of the English survived, d, The Turko-German forces shelled the M town, killing all the cavalry horses re and then attacked. A larger force Pi was dispatched and the Germans and ? Turks were finally driven off. "Soldiers on the canal, however, oi were very impatient and anxious for a change. They wanted to get into ? j France, where ther was real fighting. Where they were there was little but sand and with no cities or amuse- cc / ments the times were dull. m "The Y. M. C. A. was doing work ^ exactly like that which is being done n? on the Mexican border for the United cl< States soldiers. Reading rooms were #>nnirmpd aird oDened to the men. sta * , tionery furnished and religious meet ings held. Tea, cakes, rolls and such * dainties were also cooked by the organization and sold to the men. - The rations of the of the soldiers consist V( of bread, canned beef, jam, tea and si sometimes cheese. This three times a day, as you can readily imagine, becomes quite monotonous. . - Eight Times as Many. "When we first arrived at the canal "~ f there were but three of these Y. M. T) C. A. stations and I had a letter from c< | a friend the other day saying that e i~ , 'y- -'v lere are now twenty-five. "The men are always encamped >me distance from towns and cities, his is to keep them out of trouble, >r often the drink they purchase is rugged and doped and the restricted istricts in Egypt are probably worse lan in any other portion of the orld. "The Australians are the best paid )ldiers in the world. Their average ly is about $1.25 a day. That of le English soldier averages between venty-five and forty cents a day. he American soldiers are paid fifty mts a day, as you know. "I saw one of the English cavalry itrolmen who was wounded by an rab. He was hit by an explosive ullet one night and it was not until 0 o'clock next morning that he staginto camD almost lifeless. "On the return trip I came through aly. The Italian steamer on which had passage was hailed by a Gerian submarine and ordered to raise s flag?tht was before Italy deciarI war on Germany. The captain as then warned to change his jurse a bit. At that time there ere a number of interned German lips in Italy and the policy of the alian government was to commaneer a German ship every time an :alian vessel was sunk. As the Gerlan vessels were of the best and the alian ships were not very good, one in readily see that it was good poliV to sink as few as possible. "In Southern Italy there were little gns of the country being at war. In ome the only signs a stranger was t)le to notice was the running of ;reet cars by women."?News and ourier. Vengeful.
