FRENCH BREAK WAR RECORDS

Prisoners Taken by Them Outnumber Men Engaged in Fight in Italy. TROOPS ARE HIGHLY TRAINED Gather in 1,400 and Kill 560 With the Loss of Only 50 Men—Austrians Later Cheer Their French Captors. Italian Headquarters in Northern Italy, Jan. 4.—The French in their recent successful operation on Monte Tomba captured more prisoners than they had men engaged, according to a veteran officer who witnessed the fight. From the top of a nearby hill he saw the French attack and afterward saw the prisoners, guns and booty brought in. spects,” he declared. “Just think, the “It was a record fight in many reFrench took more prisoners than they had men engaged, which is among the records tn military annajs. They also captured their first Austrian prisoners, which is another milestone for them, as heretofore they had captured only Germans.

, Take 1,400 at Cost of 50 Men. “In addition to the 1,400 prisoners we counted 560 dead on the ground, and no one knows how many more were in the caverns and underbrush. The perfect French military system enabled them to accomplish this with insignificant loss —less than 50 men. “The 50th Austrian division, which was the one attacked, is considered a good fighting organization. But the Austrians were accustomed to fighting Russians and Roumanians, and this was the first time they had met the highly trained French troops. Ths result was that rawness and poor discipline were swept away before discipline and training. “When the prisoners were brought in I never saw, a more miserable, pitiful, starved lot of soldiers. They looked like the riffraff from the slums of some big city. Even the officers appear underfed and underclothed, and. I saw only one with a whole pair of breeches. Austrians Cheer the French. “When the officers were lined up there were 42 Austrians and two Germans. The Austrians were told they would receive the usual treatment given French officers In Germany. The group of Austrian officers was impressed greatly at this and openly declared their hatred of the Germans. A little later we heard the Austrian soldiers cheering, and it turned out they were cheering their French captors. “The success slroWs the necessity for trained troops, as untrained troops could not possibly have secured such results. It was exactly the same as getting 15 per cent on your money instead of 2 per Cent. “The spirit and enthusiasm of the French troops as they leaped into the enemy trenches is beyond all praise. Their earnestness not only ’carried them into the trenches, bin actually far beyond them.

FAVORS DRAFT OF LABOR

Head of Shipping Board’s Bureau Makes Suggestions. Washington, Jan. 4.—Plans for obtaining and holding the necessary labor supply at the shipyards and on other essential government work, as suggested to the senate commerce coirimirtee by Meyer Bloomfiefild, head of the shipping board’s industrial bureau, include: , 1. Either general or special conscription of labor. 2. Creation of war zone districts about shipbuilding yards. • 3. Legal authority to commandeer residences and public utilities, such as transportation lines, electric and gas lighting, water plants. < tc. 4. Power iti local federal authorities to fix prices for all essentials like food ami fuel supplies. Emergency pressure will lead to competition* f- r labor, and each deparfnient will suffer. This condition, with that of soaring prices for food arid fuel, will encourage labor unrest and report ted demand for wage increases, < trrection of these conditions,' Mr. Rlc<onfield believes, lies in conscription of labor ami price-fixing for essentials at government plants. The conscription could be worked out in connection with the army draff.

CHOSE OWN NAMES

Long List of Prominent Men Who Changed Cognomens. Contrary to General Belief, It Is Not Necessary to Apply to Any Court or Other Tribunal to Obtain Permission. Many wartime applications are being made to the courts to change the names of persons. Most of those people probably do not know that any inan, woman or child can legally change his or her name without going to any court or other tribunal to obtain permission to do so. In Smith vs. United States Casualty Company, 197 N. Y„ 420, the highest court of New York state, following the decisions in many other states, effectually settled that every person had the right, without let or hindrance, to change his name according to his desire. Judge Vann w’rote the unanimous opinion of the court of appeals. In the course of his: opinion Judge Vann said: A predecessor of Honore de Balzac was born a Guez, which means beggar, and grew to manhood under that surname. When the great author became conscious of his powers as a writer he did not wish his works to be published Under that humble name, so he selected the surname Balzac from an estate that he had owmed. Voltaire, Moliere, Dante, Petrarch, Richelieu, Loyola, Erasmus and Liniicaus were assumed names. Napoleon Bonaparte changed his name after his amazing victories had lured him toward a crown and he wanted a grander name to aid his daring aspirations. The Duke of Wellington was riot by blood a Wellesley, but a Colley, his grandfather, Richard Colley, having assumed the name of a relative named Wesley, which was afterward expanded to Wellesley. Mr. Walsh, in his “Handbook of Literary Curiosities,” makes an interesting statement . . . : “Herbert Lythe became famous as Maurice Barrymore, Bridget O’Toole charms an audience as Rosa d’Erina, John H. Broadribb becomes Henry Irving, Samuel L. Clemens and Charles R. Browne attract attention under the eccentric masks of Mark Twain and Artemus Ward. John Rowlands would never have become a great explorer unless he had first changed his name to Henry M. Stanley. James B. Matthews and James B. Taylor might have remained lost among the mass of magazine contributors but for their cunning in dropping James and standing forth as Brander Matthews and Bayard Taylor. Would Jacob W. ReitJ, have succeeded as well as Whitelaw Reid? While some of these names were merely professional pseudonyms, others were adopted as the real name and in time became the only name of the person who assumed it.” In Larke’s “General Grant and His Campaigns” it is stated ... that “General Grant’s baptismal name was Hiram Ulysses, and he bore that appellation until he was appointed a cadet at West Point. General Hamer, who nominated him for a cadetship, by some means got his name mixed up with that of his brother. He was therefore appointed as ‘Ulysses Sidney Grant,’ and that name once so recorded on the books of the military academy could not be changed. He was baptized into the military school as U. S. Grant, and he has ever since been thus designated.” Another instance ... is that of President Cleveland, who had the baptismal name of Stephen G. Cleveland. After he entered his teens he omitted the word “Stephen” and assumed the name of Grover Cleveland, by which he was known throughout his distinguished career. President Woodrow WilSbn dropped his first name. Notwithstanding that the change of name made by a person 1 'mself, if he becomes known and recognized by his new name, is just as strong and effective in law as if officially authorized by all the courts in the land, it is wise, although not necessary, to’ resort to the courts in these cases, because in that way evidence of the change is established in permanent form. —Henry Wollman, in New York Times.

Just a Story.

When William Jennings Bryan was in Indianapolis recently, he was entertained at the country home of Mr. and •Mrs. Samuel M. Ralston. Mrs. Bryan accompanied her husband. The Ralston household greatly enjoyed the conversation of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan; particularly when the great commoner told some of his best stories.. A domestic employed at the Ralston home was so interested in the guests that she wrote to a friend: “We had a fine time at the Ralston’s last night. Mr. and Mrs. Brandy w’ere visiting them and they were very entertaining.” Mr. Ralston thought it was a delicious joke on Mr. Bryan to have him called Mr. Brandy, and was telling it to some friends later at the Hotel Severin when Mr. Bryan came Up. “I was just telling the story about how you were called Brandy,” said Mr. Ralston. “I think that’s just a story,” said Mr. Bryan, laughing.
