conferred with Secretary Bryan on
Monday night concerning the destruc

Former Pine Bluff
 Lady in Munich, Bavaria

Little Rock, Aug. 6-Mrs. Al Bloch daughter of Col. Louis Althemimer of Little Rock, is living in Munich, Baviria, where her husband is engag- ed in art studies. She was Miss Hor- tense Altheimer and was born in Pine Bluff. Later they lived in St. Louis then in New York, where Mr. Bloch was for several years a high salar- jed caricaturist on the World.
 Mrs. Bloch writes her father that there is great mourning throughout Bavaria, as there is scarcely a fam fly that has not lost from one to four of it's members on the fireing line; and yet the survivors are proud that their loved ones fell in defense of the Fatherland. There is no suff ering in Germany on account of food, as there is enough for all, and the prices are not unreasonable.

The Morgan Concerns 2 Per Cent

Brooklyn Eagle.
 The jealousy of certain Canadian companies making munitions of war and claiming that Great Britain was not giving them a fair show forced the frankness of Lord CurZon in an- nouncing to the House of Lords that the commission paid to J. Pierpont Morgan & Go. on war purchases from the United States is per cent and all expenses. It is almost a month since Lloyd George told the Commons that the arrangement with the Morgan house had been very helpful to the Government. This Lord CurZon con- firms.
 A banking house, like prophet, is not without honor save in the country it belongs to. In steel, in shipbuild- ing, in railroad financing, in Govern ment bond syndicates, the profits of this same house have been criticised and sneered at by some American newspapers. But sane thinkers have known that the service performed was real, and that in most ases the com missions were not excessive, consid- ering the volume of the interests handled.
 Great Britain finds the same thing. The profits on the immense war pur- chases at per cent reach a figure very large, though not published. But purchases without help of the Morgan house would be very much more eX- pensive to the purchaser and Eng land doesn't grudge the ? per cent.

Some Cats. Some Cats,

Traffic was suspended on the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad for a full hour near Millerstown the other morning when fast freight was held up by wildcats.
 Locomotive 3427, with a train of dressed beef, parted at a defective coupler while passing through the rugged mountains of the Millerstown Narrows, and Conductor "Jack" Weav- CT of Harrisburg hurried forward from the caboose only to find the sit uation in charge of an old she bob cat and her two half-grown kittens.
 The cats, evidently attracted by the scent of fresh meat, were making night hideous with their howls in an effort to attract their mate.
 Weaver took refuge on top of a box car, where he remained until liberated by Brakeman H. A. Hohenshelt and E. s. Eckelberger, who drove the cats back into the woods with stones and clubs.
 Curley Sewers, track walker, en- countered the same cats later and scared them from the right tracks when he held his lantern in front of lis face like headlight and ran at tn, m, making a noise like locomo- Philadelphia Record.

ODD FACTS

English people look for great things this year. It is ,urrent belief that the year '15 is always a lucky one for the tight little island. In 915, Edward the Elder, son Of Alfred drove the Danes from the five mid land counties. In 1915, Edmund Iron sides completed the rout of the last remaining vestiges of the vikings anu made the siland really compact na- ton. In 1915, Magma Charta was won, the foundation of all English lib" erty and greatness. In 1416 came the victory of Agincourt, which "put England on the map" as a fighting na- tion. In 1915 came Waterloo and the defeat of Napoleon. Some anniver- sary, 1915-they say.
