The relle waa found In a gutter by a
bricklayer, Spoor. . Being It discoverer,
h claimed the shell as hi. Olhbon. the
etate a lent, heard of thl and proceeded
to prove that tha hll struck a hoti
belonging -to a client, whom he held to
be the rightful owner. A tha client re

Long Eoll of Honor
Sent In by French
(Correspondence cf the Aroclated Tre.)
LONDON", March 4. -Sir John French'
Hat of name of officer and men whom
he recommend for promotion or reward
for gallant and distinguished service In
the field, I the Ion gee t Hat of tha kind
ever submitted hy a British com.nander.
It occupies nearly three closely printed
page In the Times. No less than 446
generals and members of the general
taff are Included In the list, and there
are 264 names from the Royal artillery,
and 234 members of the Medical corps, to
say -nothing of the other branches of
service represented.
A noticeable feature of the ltst Is the
way In which all rack? are classed to
gether as being equally distinguished. The
duke of Wellington never mentioned any
but officers In his dispatches, while
other British commander have men
tioned non-commlsion"d officers or pr
vates very sparingly. Sir John French
makes ro distinction between the high
est officer and the humblest private; tlr
names are aM placed M!o by side In the
long roll of honor.
