Only 1000 Out Of Former Pop

Almost-Dcscrtcd City.

ARRAS. FRANCE, Saturday, July 1C
(via Paris, July 1D.-Shells have been
dropping into Arras at intervals to-day
as they have been for twenty-five days
Every twenty-four hours a few more
buildings crumple or burn. although the
fire department still is efficient in ex-
tinguishing flames.
Ono thousand civilians. out of a for.
mer population of $4,000, are here
There were 1000 In December. a few
scores of the inhabitants have been
killed or wounded, while the others
have been persuaded to go away. No,
one Of those remaining thinks OF sleep
ing anywhere except in cellar. The
rest Of their time Is spent out OF doors
when no shells arc falling
The streets are grass-grown Two
postmen deliver the mail. which comes
once day by military post Several
underground shops are open for busi-
ness. Displayed on cellar doors are
baskets of fresh vegetables for sale
at about the same prices as in Paris
Inside the principal grocery are many
brands OF American, French and British
canned goods
About half the outer walls Of the
beautiful city Hall still are standing
but there remains only one Jagged

once adorned the great square Of Ar
ras. 4 citizen occupying n cellar or
the other side of the square counted
the shells that hit. and says IL took
$50 to shatter the beautiful bit OF
Spanish architecture.
An advance angle Of the French
works is located in a little suburb
outside OF Arras. Visitors there talk
In whispers and take hasty glances
through loopholcs at the German
| trenches forty yards away. The French
trenches pass through the gardens OF
ruined chateau. Rose bushes and
other Towering plants droop over the
sides of these military works Every
house in what once was an interesting
suburb has been wrecked by she'll fire.

CALLS 1T SHEER INSANITY
General 8Iustannn Says Roumnnia

Especial Cablo to The Times Dispatch. I
BUCHAREST, July II (via Berlin,
wireless to Sayville).-General Mus
tanza, Of the Roumanian army. who
participated in the War of 1878 and
was the leader OF the Bulgarian expe-
dition OF 1913, in an article published
in n newspaper here. writes regarding
the Russian situation:
ut Is hopeless to advocate Rou-
manian intervention on the side OF the
quadrup1e alliance. Such move would
be sheer insanity. Even before the
Russian catastrophe, Intervention by
Roumania would have been only as a
drop OF water on hot stone; now the
Roumanian army would have to run
with lightning rapdity behind the
Russians to catch up with them and
would draw upon itself the shock of
all the German-Austrian forces. This
would he equivalent to national ca
tastrophe. Our brave army does not
deserve such a fate"

REFORMERS AND SKATES.

The roller skate is "coming back"
1t never really went out, as far as the
children are concerned. Now how
ever young ladies have taken it up
not IN skating rinks, by the way, but
10 the open air,-for exercise and fun
on the sidewalks and smooth pave
ments of the city streets. On any
fine evening on the best and most ex-
elusive streets in the residence dis
tricts of Chicago, groups and couples
of girls from Is to % may be seen
gliding along over the smooth surface
of the walks. The fad has struck
many of the smaller places in differ
ent parts of the country and already
the village kill-joYs are protesting and
calling for laws to prohibit skating
on the sidewalks. 1t was ever thus
No sooner does youth f1nd a new way
of amusing itself-no matter how
| innocent-than some long faced,
vinegar blooded reformer is out with
protest and a demand that the
young people be presented with the
alternative of abandoning their fun
or becoming criminals by the infrac-
tlon of prOhibitory ordinance.
There was at one time a wellground-
ed prejudice against skating Kinks.
These places, nowadays, are usually
so well conducted that they arc COM
paratiyely safe. But there can be no
just objection to the young girls
bringing the bloom of health to their
cheeks 10y such beneficial exercise as
roller skating on the sidewalks Of
their own home town and 10 company
with the same girls with whom they
associate at other times. Let the
reformers purchase roller skates aud
use them. 1t will give them a
brl Ihter outlook on life.-Ex.

The Riggs Bank.-Panama.- .-Po-
litical Fixers.
The Tribune Bureau.
BY j. E. JONES

Washington, d. C.-The Racket
With The Riggs. s.-The Riggs Ma
tional bank is the biggest corporate
institution in Washington. 1t is
associated with the National City
bank OF New York, which is some
times called the STANDARD Oil Bank"
For half a century the Riggs has
! been regarded as sort of advisory
institution for the secretaries of the
treasury, and the controller of the
currency. For year or more the
treasury and the Riggs have not been
on good terms. The Riggs bank
claims that 1t has been prosecuted,
and 1t is so strong that 1t takes its
grievances into the federal court.
| The Riggs points out as one OF its
causes for complaint, the withdrawal
, of two and half million dollars OF
deposits by the United States treas
ury at the time of the money
stringency, Immediately following
the outbreak of the European war.
1t cites as further instance of
persecution the refusal of the treas
urY officials to approve the Riggs as a
reserve bank. AS this is the first
time that any banking institution
has ever had the nerve to go nto
court for the purpose of attempting
to regulate the treasury department
of the United States, the interest ~
banking and financial circles has been
intense.
