Down Their' Lives iu the
Grrent \V2tr
Under the title of "The Kincl of
Men They're ICjlling,".-Mr. ).. F. Col-
lins, the London correspondent of the
Boston Transcript,.has a very fine
tribute to a couple of young British
officers whom he happened to know
very well, and who have. fallen at tile
front. Their mimes are by no means
as famous as many who have laid
down their lives in Prance and Flan-
ders, but what Mr, Collins writes of
them should be, la3g remembered.
They are by no- means obscure per -
eons. One of them was one of the.
finest Rugby players of his clay, the
other almost equally illustrious as an
exponent of Soccer: but•they were not
better known than 'hundreds among
the twenty-five thousand British of-
fiecrs who have fallen in this war.
They were, 111 the opinion of Mr. Col
lins, just fine representative specimens
of British manhood, brave and eulti-
vatet'1 gentlemen who neither sought
nor shrank front death, whose careers
were, ;lust beginning, and who, had.
they been spared, might have become
great among the; great, for they lack-
ed notititag of the equipment of
greatness,
Bentley Blair.
One of them was Lieut. P. C. B.
Blair, of the Rifle Brigade, who was
killed in action in Ypres. He was or-
dered to attack, and had leaped from
the trench to lead his Hien, when a
shell fell at his feet, and the next
second was his last. ttir, Collins
says:
"Gone in a flash was all the noble -
promise of his life, leaving nothing
but a memory and grief and pride be
hind. The one bereavement which
alone had the power to daunt and to
depress him a month before—his MO
ther's death—now seemed almost

MELTING SOVEREIGNS.
13r1lain Alarmed at Danger of New
Drain on Gold Reserve
r
The practice of melting Brills
gold sovereigns to mix with tithe
metals and thus make jewelry to sel
to suddenly rich munition worker
an( ai wives is said to have beeom
a so :alarming that an effort may be
made during the present session of
parliament to pass a law to prohibit
it. There are not many sovereigns in
circulation in England, they having
been recalled shortly after the out-
break of the war, but they can be ob
tamed readily in exchange for paper
notes at the Bank of England.
The gold reserve in the Bank of
England at the present time is esti-
mated at about $265,000,000. There
arc other gold reserves, of course, in
the hands of other` joint sleek banks.
