GIBBS MANSFIELD DID NOT
 RUN AWAY FROM SCHOOL.
Sensational New York Story Denied by
 Boys Mother in New London.

Several New York papers announced Saturday that Gibbs Mansfield, son of i the actor, had run away from school at 1 Wallingford and was going to look for l his mother in Paris. Gibbs Mansfield was christened in Norwich, at Pine /! hurst then the residence of the late B. N. Gibbs, and was named for MT. Gibbs daughter, George Barker Gibbs, now Mrs. Charles H. Sherrill, of New York
 George C. St. John. headmaster of the Choate school at Wallingford, de- nied Saturday afternoon that Gibbs Mansfield run away from the school and was on the way to Paris to join his mother. The report had reached New York by way of Raleigh. N. C.
 The story Is absolutely untrue" said MT St. John. "The only possible foundation for the report is the fact young Mansfield was absent for three hours without leave. He is here in the school now and has been at all times except when he has been away with my permission outside of the single occasion I have mentioned.
 Mrs Mansfield is not in Paris. She is at her home. The Grange. at New London, and has been there all win ter.''
 The following letter was sent the papers by the boys mother:
 
 regarding my son Gibbs which is erro- neous as to the facts and does both him and me an injustice. It Is stated that he ran away from the Choate school to join, me in Paris. There is no foundation for this story, except, possibly, the fact that I took him from the school last week to New York for a. day in order that he might see an oculist.
 I am not in Paris. and have not been there fer three years, but am living as quietly as possible at my home here. My son is now at the Choate school, Wallingford, Conn.,, one of the best preparatory schools in the country, and I trust he will remain there until he enters college. With the exception re- l ferred to. of his visit in New York, he | has been at the school since the heli- | days, which he spent at home with me. | He is happy in his school, and l am 1 happy in the thought of the good in- 1 fiuences which surround him. l I trust that you will publish this 1 letter in your next issue in justice not i only to the school but also to my boy l and myself.

STRICKEN DUMB
 BY ORDEALS OF
 ARTILLERY FIRE

-6Correspondence of Associated Press.)
 London, Dec 22.-The eZtraordi- nary effects of shell fire upon those who are forced to undergo it, are be- ing discussed at length in the Brit ish medical journals.
 An English surgeon now attached to. a Paris hospital reports the cases of four men who show absolutely no trace of bodily wounds, but who are now under his care. Two of them were struck deaf and dumb by shell explosions; neither of them has any thing wrong with his organs of speech or hearing, but is suffering from shock A third cannot see, caused by a nervous shock. There is nothing the matter with his eyes and complete recovery is promised after a. period of quiet and rest The fourth mans experience left his mind blank
 Field surgeons contribute accounts of the manner in which death comes from shell fire. In some cases men are found stiff in death in ife-hke attitudes, so that the stiffness charac- feristic of a. corpse must have come on at the very moment of death, whereasS under ordinary circum- stan ncsS man dies first and slowly sti1&e1f sefterWards. Some of the field sursHpns have attributed this to the action of a. poisonous gas given off by the new explosive, 'sturpenite.' 9 One of the path hoIogists at Guys hos pital, however, contradicts that theory

HOOKING INTO THE
 SHOW WINDOWS

: The holiday period is a. great time far handSoIne displays in the show Windows of the retail stores. Ut is a study in the human activity, the halo it's. and manners Of the time. An hour spent in looking in at show win dows is not the least of the holiday enjoymen4ss for many people
 As business develops the art of ar rang show window becomes an inn portant craft. Commercial schools give lessons in window dressing. Tn large cities some men make a liv- by skill In that alone
 The oId-t1me merchant let his show window remain a dumping ground from one months end to the other At f4le other extreme one finds stores which place in front windows any thing to attract attention, arimaIss birds mechanical toys. whether or not they have any relation to the goods sseId by the store.
 Taste counts. Retail merchants do well to consider thong ghtfuIly the ar ram gennenSt Of goods exposed Co view from the street Different window Fanau will fill his window with 9, multi pIicf&y of objects, his purpose appar- entity being to include enough so as to succeeed in Interesting every one.
 The opposite theory considers that the eye is weaIied and confused by to many objects. On this idea a show 1Vfndow is occupied only by a few things, to concsntrate attention on the best samples of merchant's stock Probably the effect is on the whole more pleasing <
 It almost takes a woman's eye to produce the finer effects. At least the window dresser should have a keen eye for color. Most merchants realize the value of an attractive stylish inn press1on given in this way. Though the most attractive lay-outcan never take the place of the direct appeal to the reason which is given by the news paper advertisements

JAPANESE ARMY IN EUROPE POPULAR
 IDEA IN FAR EAST

Tokio, Dec. 22.-The project of send ing a Japanese army to Europe is gathering force in Japan. It is under stood that France and Russia favor the idea, but that Great Britain lesi- tates to call upon her ally to go to Europe. |
 It is estimated that an army of 300,000 (the number under eonsidera- tfon) would cost yen per soldier daily or about $d, ,5OO. 900 for all The fleet of transport would go by way of Suez and in addition to a total equip ment of arms would have to convey food for many months, including vast quantities of rice. erhe idea Is that the expenses would be covered by a European loan.
 Baron Kato, minister for foreign af- fairs. is quoted as being opposed to the project.
