and the sword together, for the olive will

MISSING

Forsaken by his company
Tonight another boy must die.
And with him dies-his art long-planned
For which the ages shaped his hand.
And with him falls the godlike brain,
For which the asons toiled in vain.
And with him many a secret dies,
And many a sweet divine surprise.
But, oh. in him when night shall fall
Some broken heart win lose her all!

Eighteen million dollars In British

being rushed here from Halifax. where
| was received from a British cruiser.
The gold is coming in a special train OF

the American Express Company. 1t is
being watched over by twenty-five armed
guards. The train crossed the border
yesterday morning at 3 o'clock and
passed through Bangor. Me, at noon.
II is thought that the train will reach
New York about noon to-day, but every
detail OF its movements is surrounded
with as much secrecy as possible AS an
additional safeguard.
II was estimated in Wall Street yes

naval hero of the hour, who, 4 III rcpOrt
is true, is responsible for the British

demand and 4.63A for cables. IT was
learned yesterday from authoritative
sources that a shipment Of about $751;
000.00 In gold coin was on its way to
New York.
Bankers here pointed out, however.
that even II Great Britain sends $40, 900
400 in gold to this country Il will do
little to correct the present depreciation
in foreign exchange and that II will re-
quire a credit or loan OF several hundred
million dollars to readjust the situation.
Negotiations to that end are known to
have been under way for some time. but
their continuance will be held in abey-
ance until the arrival here of British
and French games to discuss the matter
with leading New York bankers. The
fact that French bankers are to accom-
pany the English delegates lends credit
to the belief that the loan or credit may
be OF a joint nature, In which not only
England but rance and Russia will Sc
cure the necessary financing.

F Spencer Baldwin, manager of the

ut is "A maxim that the accuser should
have clean hands Mr.. Rowe In the

IN the face OF these attacks upon the

STAMLER GIRLS FAIL
TO FIND NEW HOME
Permission Given to STAY
Aboard Until Monday, but
Future Is Hay.

A mournful lot OF girls sat yesterday
afternoon in the big cabin Of the Jacob
A. Stamler. the John Arbuckle floating
hotel for working girls. which has been
moored for years at East Twenty-third
street. They had been told that on Mon
day they must leave the roomy and
comfortable quarters because OF the de-
cision by the Arbuckle Deep Sea Hotel
Company to abandon the ship.
They had supposed yesterday would
be their last day. but word had come
from the Arbuckle estate that they
could stay until Monday. and Frank
Shelley. manager OF the hotel. hoped
that some way could still be found to
ave the Stamler.
1t cost less than 50 a week to live on
the old ship, and the girls have been
searching New York since they were told
that the hotels days were numbered to
find another place where they could live
cheaply and comfortably. One girl,
leaning YEARLY against the cabin door

monotone. which showed how hard she
had been hit by the thought of having
ID give up every cent she earns for a
