He is on his way to his home in Constantinople. It was as plain Colonel Pertev that the gallant Turk started for the front. For his services, perhaps as balm for his wound, the Sultan has since promoted | him to a major generalship. General Pertev is only 33 years of age. He speaks English with wonder- ful ease, although he modestly declares that he is only learning the language. | Many a voter in the United States | knows less of the tongue of the land of his acquired citizenship and speaks it more unintelligibly than does this thur for five months and witnessed the fall of that fortress. He saw the battle of Mukden and most of the desultory | | | | declared. ’ It was at Liau Yang Wapeng, near Fakumen, In a brisk little skirmish on June 1€ last that General Pertev was wounded. The bullet passed through his left leg, just above the knee. After puncturing the general the bullet went through his horse, which dropped dead. None of the general's bones were under the skillful care of the Japanese surgeons. On the Manchuria General Pertev made himself a favorite. He brought from Port Arthur and Manchuria a host of interesting reminiscences with | which he freély regaled his fellow pas- sengers. —_—— Christmas Presents for Men.

SITE FOR UNIVERSITY FARM TO BE SELECTED Commissioners Will Render Decision Next Month and Not Allow Appropriation to Lapse. Farmers and others of the interior are impatient over the delay of the commissioners appointed to select the university farm site. There 18 ap- prehension that repeated failures to se- lect such a site as the Jaw contem- | plates will result in the lapse of the appropriation of $150,000. Dr. Benja- min Ide Wheeler, president of the uni- | | versity and a member of the commis- sion, said yesterday, In reply to in-| quiries of The Call, that Professor Wickson, early in January, would sub- mit data concerning each site under review. Dr. Wheeler 's confident that the commissioners will settle the ques- tion at the January meeting. The law as it stands was drawn up by Judge Peter J. Shields of Sacra- mento and unquestionably represents the views of the leading farmers of California. Suggestions to delay aotion until the law can be amended at the next session of the Legislature are not acceptable to the promoters of the original legislation. —_——— Little Left for Power-house.

Their officers are the most briliant in the world. As custodians of European prisoners of war the Jap- | anese are savages.” That's what Willlam von Wahl, lieu- tenant of onme of the Czar's Cossack regiments, thinks. He arrived here vesterddy on the Manchuria from Japan, where, for more than a year, he was restrained of his liberty by the Japan- ese. Von Wahl was on skirmish duty May 11, shortly after the battle of Yalu. He had been sent out with a troop of his Cossacks to establish communication | with the enemy. A Japanese bullet through Von Wahl's stomach told the gallant cavairyman that he had arrived in the enemy’s territory. ‘He was taken prisoner and sent to Matsuyama, where he found many of his brother officers. The prisoners’ camp was in charge of Colonel Kono, “the most brutal savage that ever carried a sword,” Wahl. Under Kono’s {ron rule life at Mat- suyama was like an ugly dream. Von Wahl was in the hospital most of the time and escaped some of the tribula- NEW EUROPEAN LINE TO' CHINA G. Thouroude, direct representative of the United Freighters’ Steamship Com- | pany of Bordeaux and Havre, France, | one of the great steamship companies of the world, announced yesterday that | his company would begin running steam- feity as one terminal point, and establish | a large agency in San Francisco to handle | the coast traffic. M. Thouroude is at the St. Francis. This line will be in opposi- | tion to Hill's Great Northern line and | will carry traffic from China and Japan | to the United States and Europe, via San | Franeisco. The French company will run six steamers of 5600 tons each. One of them, the Amiral Jaureguiberry, is now at an- | chor in San Francisco Bay. These steam- ers will sail out of Havre and Bordeaux China and Japan. They will return to San Francisco. Then they will round tne Horn to France, stopping at the southern ports on the way. A schedule will be ar- ranged in conjunction with the present | Kosmos Line. The new steamers will canry passengers and freight. The French company first began to in- bling to get the San Francisco agency.

Of the latter I cannot say too much. No. I did not fall in love with | my nurse. Too much discipline for | that. A Japanese nurse has no time for | romance. She is all business, and she knows her worky Nurses, stewards and | doctors were mdt kind. But at Mat- | suyama the kindness stopped at the hospital door. The guards were un- civil, the officers discourteous and the commander, Colonel Kono. was a brute. “One,day a Japanese general paid a visit to the prisoners’ camp. The pris- oners were ordered out for inspection. | The Russian officers were in the midst of eating dinmer. ‘We will _come when we finish our dinner,’ they sent word by the orderly who had brought Colonel Kono's request for their ap- pearance before the Japanese general. “They had almost finished when. the Japancse guard entered the dining room. Four Russian colonels and one lieutenant colonel were seized by the Japanese soldiers and dragged before Colonel Kono, who ordered that they | be beaten. And they were. Some of | the officers were old menh, some distin- | guished soldiers. Fach was struck across the back with the butt end of a rifle and, aching and humiliated, they were then forced to parade before the Japanese general. “I was transferred later to Nagoya, where we were very well treated. for the reason, I believe, that among the | prisoners were.

It was reported that he slipped on a rock while trying to mount his wheel horse and fell, striking his head against another rock.

According to the story of Rev. S. N. | Usher, a Philadelphia pastor, who has | been visiting the buried cities of the| old world during the last two and a half years, Chicago University will | soon give to the world a wonderful col- | lection of anclent tablets and statues, | whose worth is untold. They have been found recently by the searchers sent out by the University of Chicago and the finding of them has not yet been announced to the public. The excava- tions which yielded the most valuable | collection were at Bismia, the ancient | buried city. A library of tablets, which will rhn!‘ the greatest discovéries of the past, is | the most startling find. The inscrip- | tions are of an unknown language. Statues and carvings of all kinds have also been found. | Rev. Mr. Usher is on his way back to Philadelphia. —_————————— Ask the man who knows.

The new Japanese Home for Women and Children, at 2025 Pine street, was dedicated yesterday by Bishop J. W. Hamilton. He was assisted by W. S. Matthew, presiding elder of the San Francisco district, and Dr. Horata. A large attendance of persons inter- ested in the welfare of JapaneSe wo- men who come to this country were present and several addresses were made by prominent women of the Wo- men's Home Missionary Soclety of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Bishop Hamilton talked on the con- ditions which confront foreigners who come, to this country, and declared that it was the duty of every Christian to befriend and help a stranger in a for- eign land who was at the mercy of falling into an evil path. The first Japanese home was estab- lished in this city four years ago. It was a four-room house, but the quar- ters later proved too small and a home twice this size was taken up. The so- ctety finally purchased the present home, which is a seventeen-room house just suitable. Miss Marguerite Lake looks after the affairs of the home and Mrs. J. W. Hamilton also takes an active interest in the movement. —_————————— ' PEDDLERS ARRESTED.—Policeman John Young arrested Frederick Benjamin and Fred- erick Gritfin for peddling without a license and also for selling eggs which were not fit to-eat.
