The beauty show for men at the
Victoria pier, Folkestone, continues to
be the chief subject of conversation
in the town and it's vicinity, says the
London Mail There are many aspir-
sG:c and many inquiries, but with the
execution of courageous few the
would-be exhibits hesitate to face a
great audience even for five minutes.
Councillor Forsyth, who is responsi.
bic for the show, has decided that
only facial beauty can be considered
In the matter of awarding prizes. In
view of this, he has arranged for a
huge gilt frame draped with black
velvet to be erected. In an opening
in this frame only the head and face
will be allowed to appear. Councillor
Forsyth, in answer TO inquiries by the
Daily Mail, wishes 1t to be widely
known that, with the full approval of
his colleagues, he has decided to make
the competition open to all England.
The judging will be by the audiences,
and the scrutiny of votes by women.
Several local beauties in order to
gain chest measurement, are training
with dumbbells. Others are giving
over flesh for a fruit diet, and many
are taking course of Turkish and
other baths in order to get into form.
The greatest obstacle to many is the
lack of moral courage to face an audi.

CALABRIAN TOWNS RUINED.
Tremendous Damage Wrought b,
Earthquake in Italy.

Rome.-The details received here
Thursday regarding the earthquake
Wednesday in every way tend to
show that the damage done was
much more extensive than at first es-
timated but that the loss of life has
not been great. The lowest estimates
place the number of killed at about
20 and the highest at 120.
The pope. when informed Thursday
morning of the destruction, was much
distressed and said with tears in his
eyes: Are we having a repetition
of the disaster of 1905? God help the
poor souls"
The pOntiff has decided to send a
sum Of money for the relief of the
sufferers.
Details of the earthquake show that
the shocks were especially severe in
the southern end of the Calabrian
peninsula, but throughout Calabria
there are scenes of desolatiOn and de-
spair. The first shock was a 'tre-
mendOus one and was followed by
two others of longer duration, which
entirely destroyed two villages and
reduced many homes in several others
to d mass of ruins.

A SECOND DREYFUS AFFAIR
FRENCH NAVY AND ARMY OFF,
GERS ARRESTED AS TRAITORS.
One Confesses-Possessed Many Ma
val Secrets and Tried to Black
mail Minister of Marine.

Paris. - The arrest of Ensign
Charles B. ullmo, of the French
navy. at Toulon Thursday. on the
charge of heing a spy and his confes-
sion to having abstracted a secret
naval signal book and the naval
cipher code, was followed Friday by
the arrest at Vendome of an officer
named Bcrton, who is charged with
negotiations with an agent of a for
eign power for the sale of military
secrets.
The arrests are creating a great
stir, and as Ullmo is a Hebrew, the
papers term his case a second Drey-
fus affair.
1t appears that Ullmo offered GER
tain documents to the minister of ma
rine for 100000. saying that unless his
offer was accepted he would sell them
to a foreign power. A dummy CORE.
spondence was begun, ending with
ILLINOIS capture.
A search of his lodgings revealed
that he not only possessed the secret
code signals, but was in possession of
complete plans for the mobilization of
the French navy, the location of har-
Dor mines in the event of war, photo
graphs of the mechanism of Frances
famous 75-millimetrC field gun, etc.
The cases of Ullmo and Berton
added importance to the debate
which opened in the chamber of dep
uties Friday afternoon on the interpel-
lations regarding the state of the ma
tional defenses, in connection with the
charges made in the book entitled
Are We Defendcd?" recently pub
lished by Charles Humbert, an ex-
army captain and staff officer of for
mer War Minister Andre, and the
magazine article on the same subject
of which Gen. Langlois is the author.
MN. Gauthier and Lasics, authors of
interpretations, spoke at length on the
disorganiZation said to exist in the
army, citing statements made by M.
HumbeTt and Gen. Langlois and con-
tending that this deplorable condition
of affairs was the result of the anti
propaganda and the political
favoritism introduced since the days

freight to bring it from the farm to

another three-eighths of a cent bot

wholesale house. That means that it
costs practically six and one-quarter
