 STRUCK BY AUTO-Frank Ober- muller of 344 North Second avenue, was struck by Ford car, driven by J. Cauffman, a rancher, stopping at the Commercial hotel, while crossing First avenue at Washington street, early last evening Obermuller was walking with his brother and failed to notice the car until it was almost upon him. He attempted to jump out of the way but instead jumped in front of it. He was thrown to the ground and it is believed one wheel passed over him. He was picked up and taken to his home where he was attended by Dr. Baum. Cauffman was driving slowly and although most of those who saw the accident say that he was in no way to blame for the accident he insisted on pay ing for any medical attention the in jured man might require. It is not thought that Obermuller sustained more serious injuries than some se- were bruises and a bad shaking up.

With the exception of the government crop report, there was no. news of inn portance in relation to the financial markets. Missouri Pacific was con spicuously heavy stock on the late re- cession, yielding over points. Selling of this stock was influenced by contin- ued delay in an announcement of the roads financial plans. Reading was also heavy, as were a few of the less active issues. California petroleum common and preferred were weak, preferred falling five points. The sale was announced of sS000000 Chicago & Northwestern general mortgage As, and it is expected other large roads will soon enter the market for funds.

The Wednesday session of the State

one. Al one point IN the proceeding
Dr. DOW ling, the president, said TO
the board: IF YOU attempt IN crowd
'lIlS tune appointment of DIR. Porter
OF the Hookworm Commission down

board"
The proposition was to make Dr
Sidney ID. Porter medical inspector of
tle board at salary of 81, 500 a year
Ut Bowling opposed the plan vigor-
ously, and it finally went through in a
sort OF compromise form, after Dir
lowing had used some very direct
language in presenting his objections
DTS. Ledbetter and White were the
TWO principal proponents of the promo
sltlon, and insisted on the appoint.
inent at the salary stated. DIR. Dowl-
ing said he believed better man
could be had for $500. which Was
the sum that had been proposed for
the office
Ihere has been friction for soma

ISL and the president of the State

loyal to the board. from which he has
been drawing $1,000 annually-"s1. 500

not been sufficiently energetic in the
prosecution of the duties of his post.
Dr. Bowling, in presenting his obiec-

$ls5OO DIR. Porter had been drawing
from the State Board was lagniappe
In addition to the $500 he got fro1,

was satisfied that better man could
be secured for S1,SoO per annum.
DIR. Ledbetter took up the case earn

London.-How 500 French troops
were betrayed by a spy is told in dis
patches from Dunkirk. The French
soldiers were sleeping in a church at
Lampernisse. A spy in some way
gained access to the belfry and dis
played lights which notified the Ger.
man artillery of the presence of the
troops.
A bombardment Immediately fol-

known to the enemy, the sleeping
men, before they could make their es-

shells. which also set fire to the
straw on which they had been lying.

SINGS TO SOLDIERS
Breton Bard Inspires Spirit Of
French Armies.
Under Orders of Minister of War He
Travels From Camp to Camp
Entertaining Men With
Stirring Ballads.

Paris.-The role that the minstrel
Taillefer played at Hastings, that Ro
land took at Roncevaux and Blondel
filled when he found the imprisoned
Richard Occur de Lion in an Austrian
castle is being played in the present
war by Theodore Botrel, the Breton
poet, who has been sent to the fight.
Ing line by M. Mfilerand, the minister
OF war, to sing and recite patriotic and
warlike chansons to the French sol.
diers, to inspire them to mighty deeds.
For the last month or more the
picturesque Breton singer, with his
sleek hair, his wide hat brim, his
flying ribbon and voluminous velvet
breeches, looking for all the world like
the painted figure on a piece of Breton
pottery, has been travelling, staff in
hand. from camp to camp, entertaining
the fighting men of France with stir
ring ballads. Botrel's work smacks
OF ancient warfare and its customs
more even than the breastplates,
hand grenades and spears which have
proved their value on several occa-
sions.
The soldiers are gathered together
In big hall, an impromptu and gener-
ally insecure platform is rigged up
and Botrel stands forth to recite his
songs, some In the Breton dialect,
others in French, but all touched with
the lyric flame that carries simple
words and simple thoughts straight
to the hearts of the hearers.
Botrel's inspiration is not of the
kind that scars high and far, but here,
face to face with the troops who are
bearing themselves so gallantly in the
east, he has found again the fire of his
earlier days and the fame of patriot
ism burns bright and strong in these
metrical chants which he utters with
touching simplicity and childlike
earnestness.
The war bard is filling a useful role;
he helps to promote cheerfulness and
optimism, and does much to relieve
the monotony of life in a fort. He
cannot complain of monotony. Since
August 80, when he set forth on this
novel mission to a defensive army
Botrel has seldom slept in a bed and
perhaps never twice in the same place.
But as he himself remarks, he fares
no worse than the soldiers to whom
he is sent. and he travels and tramps
as best he can, arriving always in
good spirits, and exuding cheerfulness
at every pore, however weary he may
be.
He is adored wherever he passes
naturally, and indefatigably he travels
On. Goodnight here; good-morrow
hero.
1t sounds strange, the presence of |
his middle aged bard with the fight |
ng forces of the land, in the fortresses
md garrisons of modern fighting i
Yet singer of patriotic |
Iongs could nowhere get better inspi-
alton than with the colors, and one
llmost wonders that poet laureate is
lot always to be found in camp, as
lear as possible to the place where
he battle may be raging.
The Madison journal. (Tallulah, Madison Parish, La.) 1888-current, 1914-12-26

There, at all events, the French
forces have theirs. Botrel has set the
example. There are many poets serv-
Ing with the colors, of course; poetry
does not exempt Frenchman from
his military services, and some of
them find time occasionally to send
sonnet or a strophe home from the
trenches.
Only Botrel has gone out with the
bard's mission, and he is earning his
medal in his way. When the war is
over, and the country has time to
think of recompenses, and prizes, and
medals, the French academy will per-
haps award one to the Breton Bard.
