British. Traveller Says
America Has Done
“Wonders f o r Hu-

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 29.——Am-
ertcc's greatest achievement in the
past decade has been its humanitar-
ian work in foreign lands, accord-
ing to Captain John Stalker. O. B.
E. a BritlSh traveler who has just
returned from several years in Rus-
sia and Siberia.
"I have. found some Americans
doubtful as to the value bf their
foreign relief work.‘ 'suld Captain
Stalker in an interview here. "But
if they had seen it. as I have seen it.
they would have do doubts.
"My first contact with American
humanitarian enterprise was in Bus-
sluii Armenia. where I served as a.
British ol'ficiul.~ American relief
work has been of tiiostlmnbic value
as a. stubilzing force in all ports of
Russia. So fur as human life is con-
cerned, no greater work has ever
been done than that of the Near
East llellef and the Hoover com-
missions. Its permanent economic
value remains for the future to up-
pralse. but if there are any Anteri-
cuns who think their philanthropic
work has failed. they are in error.
“The future’ of Russia rests with
the children. Russia must. work out
its own salvation, not through the
present generation with its tainted
political ideas. bill. through the super
and sounder judgment of those
younger folk who will gradually
come into power during the next de~
cude. I do not. say that the Soviet
government is entirely wrong. but I.
know that it is undergoing rapid
changes. It is leveling down. and as
time. progresses its leaders will more
and more conform to the methods
and ideals of other nations.
"The effect of sound American
education and training is more evi-
dent in Armenia than in any other
part of ltussiu. because in that area
the American relief work has been
more intensive and sustained. The
100.000 Armenian children who
have been students in the Near East
schools and orphanages will mold a
new future for their country. ‘and
they will prove to be the soundcst
investment ever made by philan-
thropy."

tho young actor who was later to
play so great. a part. in the pages
of American history. Martin's story
is interesting.
0n the night of‘Aprll 25. 1865. a
squad of the cavalry troop to which
Martin belonged‘ arrested William
Jetl. one of three Confederate sol-
diors who know where John Booth
was hiding. The 16th Cavalry had
been stationed at Vienna. Van. for
some ttine following Lee's surren-
der. 'l‘lie squad that arrested Wil-
itum Jett. captained by E. ’l'. Dober-
ty. compelled tholr' prisoner to lend
them to Booth's hiding place.
Martin was about a. quarter of a
mile away from the main blidy of
the party when Booth began firing
on the Union troopers. scattering
them to the underbrush. With bui-
lots flying about them. the Northern
soldiers crept up on the spot where
the assassin was concealed. Boston
Corbett. the man whose shot. killed
Booth. was in the lead. and Martin
came up to the scene of the firing
just in time to hear Corbeit’s fatal
shot, and then the shooting stopped.
Corbett had crept up on the crip-
pled assassin. and although histor-
ians insist that Booth was burned.
out of his hiding place. Martin de-
ities tilts. saying that Booth was
alive when taken out. of the build-
ing. and that it dltl not begin to
take fire until later. ' .

Though pretty certain that they
had landed the slayer. none of the
l.‘nion troopers in the party iecignlz-
ed the wounded mun or his lone
companion. Martin's urrival settled
the difficulty, and Boolh's identity
was assured. The famous slayer
died the next morning from Cor~
bett's well-placed bullet.
Martin. who Is now 86 years old,
finds that. his memory of things that
happened during the war is grow-
ing indistinct. llowcver. he has
some recollections of Booth and
Corbett. still. if. knew Corbett well.
and knew that he had violated or-
dcrs in shooting Booth instead
capturing him alive.
"However." Martin says. “the prin-
cipal thing was to get him. and he
wouldn't let us come close penetsv
inully.” ,
Marlin knew Corbett until the end
of his days. when he had to be com
fined to Fort. Leavenworth at the
state asylum. Corbett. who was an
evangelist. was driven party into his
deranged state because of his shoot-
ing of Booth. Martin thinks. The
act preyed on his mind. and the
Boston man always slept‘ with a
Bible under his pillow.
Martin's clearest recollection of
Booth. the man whose secessionist
beliefs led him to his extreme act.
is that of seeing hint figure in sen-
sational athletic feats on the stage.
Ho always introduced these Into his
acts whenever possible. In playing
the. port of MacBeth. for instance.
he made a 12 foot leap to the slut}.
and in other ways tried to make the
sensational supply the want of genu-
ine ability as a tragedian. u want
comfented in by his own generation,
and confirmed by later ones.
In these tragedies. Martin played
the piano, but was not. present on
the fatal night when Booth shot
Presideng Lincoln and leaped to the
stage. breaking his leg. beeuuso his
spur caught -in the draperies of o.
flag. hung over the box in which
Lincoln sat. ~
' Booth As An Actor.
Martin says he did not think
much of Booth as an acres. and was
not sorry that the man was shot. in-
stead of captured olive. Ho was both
vain arid hot-tempered. Martin
states. .
Martin‘s service ended in the
army of the North shortly after his
part in the final act of violence in
the great four year struggle.
Following his discharge from the
16th Cavalry. Martin returned to
'Norwalk. where he was well known,
and was married. His son, George
Martin Jr. resided in this city for ten
years. ,. *
In 1885. Martin went to Dayton.
He saw "Boston" Corbett at the state
asylum in Kansas there frequently.
The old man wrote to Mrs. Shultz
last Saturday that he was coming

necticut 17th Volunteers would all

wanted to Inset his old comrades.

Comrade George Adams was the
first of the Norwalk veterans to rec-
ognize Marlin as he walked slowly
about the park. with his double
glasses and heavy cane. Martin sat
in the grove. and ate a lunch pro-
vided by Mrs. J. Shultz. and ‘was
just about to start for home. after
thoroughly enjoying himself. when
Comrodo Adams spied a. reporter of
mo Evening Sentinel. and introduced
him to the old veteran.

said "because I didn't do anything
