MONTE CR|STO NOW MAKES NEW HISTORY
Prisoners of War Held in Stronghold Made Famous
 by Dumas

Everybody who has read Monte Cristo," or seen it acted, will remember the Chateau d'If, the fearsome prison from which Dumas sailor hero. Ed mond Dantes (enacted for so many years by James O'NeilD escaped in a sack, after having taken the place therein of his fellow prisoner and counselor. the Abbe Faria, says the New York Times
 Such Dumas lovers, accordingly, may be interested to hear that the Chateau d1f. which stands, of course, on an Island in Marseilles harbor and was a fortress before it became a prison. is. owing to the war, once more in use as place of detention, after hay ing been for many years a show place

It was silent, gloomy picture, but no one could tell me whether the famous old dungeons are still being used"

 Thus is explained why Joe Ross. alias Frank Bollna. is in the city jail on two charges of receiving and concealing stolen property Ross was arrested at Il o'clock last night by Detectives Eubanks, Cren- shaw, Macke and Assistant Chief Tom Shirley
 It appears that about 1O;s0 o'clock that Detective Bob Crenshaw had a mysteri- ous call on the telephone which informed him that Joe Ross. who is better known to the police as Frank Bolins, was hiding in house at Fifth avenue and Thr- teenth street. Detective Crenshaw was also told that Ross was in belligerent mood.
 Detective Crenshaw informed Chief Shirley of the affair, and it was immedi- ately decided to go to the scene and cap ture Ross, if possible. The detectives were soon at Fifth avenue and Thirteenth street. maneuvering for opening It fell to the lot of Chief Shirley to enter the Ross residence The door was locked. Chief Shirley rapped loudly and called upon the occupants to open in the name of the law. The door was rfnauy opened and the officers rushed In with cooked pistols and flashing electric lights.

Devise Taxation Scheme

Berno, Switzerland. December 1S Especial Correspondence of the Asso- ciated Press. )-The Swiss government has devised a comprehensive scheme Of taxation to meet the estimated budget deficit on account of the European war. The tax paid by those who cannot ac- tually perform military service is to be doubled, the import duties on alco- hol are to he doubled, and there are to be substantial increases In postal rates and telephone charges. A government tobacco monopoly is also proposed as a new source of income, being csti- mated to yield about S3,000,000. Tho increased rates for inland parcel postage and for telephone calls will yield about S1.200,000. The total de- ficit for the year is figured at ahaat S3,70O0Oo.

ardly English" Even the Turk has be- come a hero to Larkin. who writes of the sword of the Turk rousing his suf- fering co-religionists in India, Egypt and Persia to revenge their wrongs" The brutal Russian robber' comes in for his attention and he supposes that we will soon be hearing of Turkish atrocities which will be about as reliable as those ascribed to Germany
 Professor MacNeill in the Irish Volun- teer writes:
 The man who says, better English law than German in Ireland is as slavish as he who reverses the position. Ireland would be better off if she were a protectorate of the German peo- pie, who are more advanced in civiliza- ton and culture than the English. If ths British navy gets the worst of the com ing fight we shah have our German friends cruising in the Irish sea. The Irishman who lifts his arm In defense of the robber empire Is a traitor to his race. England is our one enemy in the whole world
 sim Fein" has been carrying on . campaign of almost equal virulence. and has been devoting itself especially to him derlng recruiting. It has been making an appeal to the morality of the Irisf by depicting the Rritish army as a sink
 
 clean minded and piour younG 1rishmar who joins it. It has also been declar- ing that the war office has refused tC appoint Roman Catholic chaplains to tn, new Irish regiments.
 All this is allowed to be circulated broadcast in Ireland while English news papers are rigidly censored. The differ ence in treatment is due to the fact thai Kitchener has the English public at hi' back, but cannot count upon a united Ireland. Irish members of Parliamen have been urging the government to talk, vigorous action. MT. Birrell, the 1risl chief secretary, when questioned abou the matter in Parliament. has turned 1 off with a joke, and Sir Stanley Buck master the chief censor, made the pit iful plea that the matter was not sub mitted to him before publication, ant that, therefore, he could not deal witt it. He has not taken that attitude il cases where important newspapers hav' omitted through inadvertence to submi matter to him.
 1s fs batray.irars no seeret te,- say thn has caused a good deal of concern il loyal political circles in Ircland. although he Is likely to be much less harmful in Berlin than in Dublin. For he Is ( man of real ability and. given favorable circumstances, might become an Irisl DeWet. There Is some consolation. how ever, in the fact that the Ireland for the. Irish party fin Ireland is now safely out of the way.

languished within it's walls IA years.
 How Dantes and the mad" Abbe Faria managed to communicate with each other by means of tunnel dug between their cells; how the abbe told his young protege of the treasure of Monte Crsto, and how the latter, en- cased in his sack, finally was thrown into the sea from the ramparts of the chateau, with 30-pound shot tied to his feet--all this Is too familiar a story to need to be recalled. Visitors to shown "Edmond Dantes' dungeon and Faria's, too, despite the fact that no such persons ever existed.
 As fact, the stage version of Monte Christo," played so many times by O'Neill and other actors the world over, Is a poor thing. indeed, compared with Dumas masterpiece, which the late Lord Salisbury, 1t is said, used to keep under his pillow. In the play all the relationships of the novel are mixed up in a fashion calculated to make Du- mas turn in his grave. while as for the famous phrase of the play, "The world Is mine." it is not to be- found In the novel at all. It was stated once that Henry Hamilton. the English dramatist. proposed to make really worthy ramatization of Monte Cristo'' for the late kyrle Bellew, but evidently the project was abandoned. As a matter of fact few works of fiction would be more difficult to dramatize adequately.
 Most of us who love the novel would not mind a short imprisonment in tho Chateau d'If just for the thrill of the thing. And perhaps some of it's Ger man inmates may beguke their hours of confinement with Alexander the Greats" magic pages.

He pointed his pistol at tho sneezing mattress and yelled:
 There's a ghost in that bed and I am going to shoot it out"
 "No. mo-" cried the wife, don {, don't"
 It is question whether tha en- treaties of the wife would havo had any effect but suddenly the mattress came off the bed and revtaled a man who looked sheepishly at the officers
 Ross, for 1t was he. was quickly re- moved to the jail, and on the way to the prison the detectives chaffed them selves on the serious manner in which they had entered their task. Ross Is wanted by the detectives on allegations that he purchased and con cealed stolen property from negroes.
