PARIS WATCHES SKY

Fears Repetition of Attempt to
Destroy EiffeI Tower, Which
Cost Two Lives.

PARIS. Sept. S.-Paris is watching to-
day for a repetition of the attempt to
destroy the k.iffei Tower made yester-
day by a German aviator. At every
point of vantage additional watches
have been stationed to scan the sky -or
hostile aeroplanes.
A check up of the damage done in
yesterdays air raid shows that five
bombs were dropped from the German
aeroplane, which scared over the city
hidden in a heavy mist.
Plainly the daring air craft sought
to destroy the Eiffel Tower. the CEN

The suffering of the wounded as the

that ordinarily would be clean now get
filled with mud. and infection follows,

In this respect il is stated that the
Germans have suffered far more than

16 cents a pound and reduced his
holding to about 10000 bales. His
profits were $6,500,0O0.
Then came the fateful wreck. Mr..
Scales stomach was out of order and
he made up his mind to take his
profits and get out of the market.
He made an appointment with a
specialist for that New Years eve
and left Wall street to walk up town.
He was to close cut everything the
next business day. That walk
changed his career.
When he arrived at the Waldorf
the exercise had done him so much
good that he forgot all about his
troubles. He ate heartily, slept well
and on the next business day, in
stead of selling out, announced that
he was going to put cotton up to
20 cents a pound. That is where
men with other ideas took $780,
O0O of that $6,5O0,0O0 from Mr..
Scales. They broke up that market
and he could not hold it up.
After that, they say, he never
caught up again. He went back into
the market the following year, but
lost because he would not take small
profits. He obtained a credit with
S. H. P. Pell & Co., and when the
European war smashed the cotton
market to pieces he was under the
debris.
1t is believed that ne will come
back as soon as his difficulties are
Strengthened out. Friends said yes
terday that with the money he had
made Mr.. Scales had placed many
relatives in comfortable circum-
stances. He was also liberal to his
brokers. Personally he lived very
quietly. Once he bought an auto
mobile, but did not like it and dis
posed of it very quickly.

passage of a comprehensive licensed
cotton warehouse bill which will
standardiZe cotton warehouse re-

est kinds of collateral for bank

THE immediate passage OF such
a legislative bill is imperative if the
business of the South is to survive
the present world crisis, and we urge
you to gather together every energy
of your community and direct its in

of such a law.
The signatures to the above tele-

powerful business and financial inter-
ests of the great city of Chicago are
behind this movement. Chicago has
suffered through calamities in the
past and it has always deeply appre-
ciated the sympathy and aid given it
by the states and cities of the United

among our cities to extend its great
influence and power to help the
South overcome what may be finan-

is not enacted to help it turn its cot
