New York. Sept. 4.-Thase who have.

woman living in a little village near
Paris in a house whose shutters were

window appeared the tri-color. The old

Woma made her way to the fort.
Il lave a request to make" she told
tho commander. II should like to have
you G one of your men every day to
take the evening meal with me. He
will be my guest. Forty-four years ago
my fiance, after being with me went
away to fight. They brought him back
with two German bullets in his breast.
since then no man has ever entered my
house, but this is the hour Of revenge.
In his place at my table I should like
each day one of those who are about
to avenge him."
The commander granted the request
OF the woman and each day one Of his
men goes to the house and dimes with
her. One of the soldiers on returning
said that as he left the house he saw

New York. Sept. Further dividend

Matters of interest to the old SOL

SAY CLERGY ARE NOT
NEEDED TO FIGHT

London, Sept. 5.-That Church of
England clergymen should not enlist
as combatants, is the opinion expressed
by the archbishop of Canterbury in a
letter to the diocesan bishops, prompt
ed by inquiries he received from a large
number of the younger clergy.
He writes:
IT have given careful attention to the
question, which some people feel is a
very difficult one. BY every line Of
thought I have pursued 1 am led to the
conclusion that I am right in main
tanning that the positions OF an actual
combatant in cur army is incompatible
to the position of one who has sought
and received holy ORDERS"
He adds that clergymen should re-
gard their ministery. whether at home
or in the field in time Of warfare as
their special contribution to the coun-
try's service.
He rejoices to know that far more Of
the clergy nave offered to serve as
chaplains in the army and navy than
can possibly be accepted. h

MAKE new TREATY
IN PANAMA Zone
U. S. Gains Control Off Harbors
OF Colon and Ancon and Two
Small Islands.

Panama, Sept. Am important
treaty, by the terms OF which the
United States gains control of the
waters of the harbors of Colon and
Ancon, together with certain other
valuable rights, was signed here yes
terday by William Jennings Price. the
American minister, and IIrnesto T.. Lee
feVre, Panaman secretary of foreign
relations.
The new convention has been under
degotiation for the last our years.
Early last year the negotiations We're
broken off by Panama, because it then
seemed impossible to bring the two
governments into accord. The inStru-
ment replaces what has been known
as the Davis agreement of June 10,
1904. in which the boundaries of the
canal zone were tentatively fixed with
the understanding that a future formal
treaty would fix them permanently. 1t
also ampliies the Panama canal treaty
of November is, 1903, under which the
canal zone was acquired from Pan
anna.
Edict to Panama.
Panama, by the provisions of the
condition, will for the first time, be
placed in a direct physical connection
with the remainder of the country.
Hitherto the capital has been cut off
by the canal zone. which those wish
AiiS = iSaSi otiiSI PoA vi NhS SPoo
lie had to traverse. A large tract Of
fertile land called Las Sabanas," or
the Savannahs. was coded to Panama.
In this territory are located many of
the handsome country estates of
wealthy Panamans.
The United States acquires abso-
lutte control over all the waters Of
Colon n Ancon harbors and in addi-
ton two small islands lying in An
con harbor, which are to be used for
observation and light stations by the
coast artillery. One of these islands
will be fortified.
The site of battery Hancock on the
Colon water front is given to the
United States, also the pier at the en-
trance of the canal, costing approx
mately $2,5 900.
1t is especially stipulated in the
treaty hat no railways shall be built
across the "Sabanas" without the con
sent of the United States and that the
United States may reeake and occupy
a. portion or all of these lands If needed
for the protection and defense of the
canal or its approaches.
The treaty will now be sent to the
Washington and Panama senates for
ratification.
