BANK ACCUSES M'ADOO
 OF PLOT TO CRIPPLE IT
Riggs National of Washington
 Asks Injunction.

The Riggs National bank, one of the ington and allied with the National City bank of New York, has appealed to the courts to protect it against the alleged malice of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and John Skelton Williams. comptroller of the currency.
 Not in years have such sensational charges been made against high off cials of the government as are con- tained in the complaint of the Riggs bank. The officers of this powerful in- stitution charge McAdoo and Williams in effect with attempting to wreck the business of the bank in order to vent their personal malice. The bank off, cers tell of government and other de- posits that have been forced from them as the result of the alleged McAdoo- Williams campaign. and they charge that they have been harassed beyond further endurance.
 The court action was precipitated when the bank officers failed to cont ply promptly with a demand for fur ther detailed information on the bank'S record, and Williams assessed penal ties, withholding interest on United States bonds which the bank had de- posted with the comptroller of the cur rency.
 The complaint. which was filed in the supreme court of the District of Columbia. charges that McAdoo and Williams have conspired irreparably to injure the bank and have fagrantly exceeded their powers. It accuses Me Adoo and Williams of having "prosti- tuted their high offices to their personal malice, seeking unlawfully to destroy and unconstitutionally to confiscate the property of the bank"

BERNSTORFF GOT ORDERS.
German Ambassador Received lnstruc- tions to Protest to Bryan-Didn't
 Act on Own Accord.

Count von Bernstorff was acting un- der instructions from the Berlin foi = eign office when he presented to the state department the complaint that the United States permitted American manufacturers to ship unlimited quan- titles of war munitions to Great Britain and the allies and yet did not maintain its right to export foodstuffs to Germany. Officials of the German embassy explained that Count von Bernstorff's orders came from the Ber- lin foreign office.
 The German note was made public by Ambassador von Bernstorff and there was some question at the time as to whether he acted on his own au- thority or upon orders from his home government. This point is now made clear by the statement from the Ger man embassy.

Hymn Tranalstion Problems.

It is not the translation of hymns alone that the missionary in Africa finds awkward. Mir. Dudley Kidd tells how an old Kaftir woman who was be- ing taught the Lords Prayer went wrong at "thy kingdom come" substi- tuting for "come" word that made nonsense. The missionary, lady, cor rected her. But again and again the hopeless word was persisted in, and the other Kaffir women present laugh ed. At last they vouchsafed the ex- planation. 1t appeared that the word. for "come" contained the emphatic syl- lable of the name of the woman's hus- band, and according to the Kafflr GUS tom no married woman may pronounce such syllable. The missionary her self, whose name was Green, caused terrible scandal by using that word in speaking of some gooseberries.-Lon don Chronicle.

 In the Bois le Pretre we made ad- vance at the western edge of the wood. A number of German machine guns were captured.
 An official statement given out by the German army headquarters reads as follows:
 In the western theater. on the Yser canal, near Poesele south of Dreigrach- ten, we took three villages which were oc- cupied by the Belgians and made one off, cer and forty men prisoners.

hnminn Instinat In crahn.

Every one has heard of the homing instinct of birds and of insects, but it is somewhat of n surprise 10 be told that animals as low in the scale of nature as crabs have n similar instinct. The experiment has been tried in England of capturing crabs, marking them for Identification and releasing them long distances from their homes. The Eost interesting example was that of male and female captured together in trap and carefully marked and then taken long distances away into anoth- CT county and released at different places far apart from each other. Lat CT the two were caught together again in u trap in their original homo, show ing that they had not only returned to their home, but had found each other and had again mnted. This homing ina stinct had enabled them to 20 from tho county of Lincolnshire back to their original home in Yorkshire.

Cinnamon Treaa.

Although the cultivation of cinnamon. on the plantations in French Indo-, China Is constantly increasing, most of the product is obtained from a wild shrub (Cinnamomum louroir) growing in the forest. When a native discovers a cinnamon tree he must make a dec laration before the local administra- ton which cuts down the tree and au- thenticates It's product. The profits ac- crulng to the discoverer of a single tree sometimes reach a large sum. This industry Is almost exclusively fin the hands of Chinese merchants of Faifo. The variety most prized is the wild royal cinnamon of Thanhhoa, which is thought by the Chinese to possess high medicinal value. It brings us high as $50 pound.
