POOR AND RICH GIVE ALL
THEIR GOLD TO FRANCE
Pedler and Seamstress Lead the Great Line lha'
Turns Over Hoarded Treasure to Maintain

gold receiving Offices in Paris ana l,s
provincial branches NJ. Pallain already
had taken steps TO this end.
Inquiries in many competent quarters
have led TO the estimate that goid
MONEY held privately in France amounts
to S70O. 600, 900, or nearly SO,OOO,OO0 less
than the total gold reserve now at the
Bank of France. -, :,
Few Of the depostors say: Il wisn
TO exchange gold" or, 81 wish to pay IN
gold" All make the simple remark
81 bring gold.' ,ou,
Rich and poor alike are conscious
they are taking gold, not to the BANK
but for France. III.
II would be a mistake for the public
to imagine that it is making sacrihce
in exchanging gold for notes, since the
cold is unemployed and therefore un-
profitable. The bank is naturally anx-
ious 10 keep as large a reserve as pos
sible so as to maintain fully the credit
of it's paper issues and at the same
time enable the government TO pay lor
supplies from abroad in gold.
Another reason why the government
wishes the nations gold to be held IN
the strong hands of the bank IS to pre-
vent il from being withdrawn privately
under false pretences to find its way
10 the enemy by trickery. Germany
and Austria are in desperate strai's
financially, and are ready to adopt, the
most deceitful practices TO get golu.

CATHEDRAL RUINED

BY c. INMAN BARNARD.

Paris. July lO.--I made flying Yisit
yesterday 20 Scissors Cathedral-or,
rather. what is now left of the superb
twelfth century edihce. / found the
venerable Able Landais, vicar Of the
parish. standing broken hearted amid
the heaps of ruins, now and then SEEK
ing with trembling hands for frag-
ment Of the ancient stained glass win
dow given by Blanche de Castillo, but
now lying shattered in piles OF broken
masonry, wreckage and dust. .,
In the roofless nave near three ogival
doors. once the pride Of Romanesque
architecture, Able Landais greeted me
with these words: :,
"This Is a terrible misfortune. Not
single pane of the beautiful stained
glass Of the rosace windows nor OF the
Side window remains. II was only last
Tuesday that an exquisite rosace, with
it's twelve rayons forming part Of
tvmnanum of large stained glass, a
structure of four divisions, was un-
harmed: but on Tuesday morning
German projectile smashed to atoms
this last relic of the stained glass.
"The masterpieces of stained glass

kneeling postures. These were demol-
ished this week"
AS one approaches scissors posted
notices announce "Road repaired. Pro-
ceed only at walking pace. Make no

the Germans are intrenched 700 yards
away. on the right bank of the River
Aisne, and they keep up a constant FIRE
on SCISSORS, on the cathedral and on
the ruins Of the ancient abbey of Saint

dozen inhabitants, who prefer to live in

Sheriff has always co-opcrated with
this board in any effort TO improve
conditions in the county, the board
feels confident, upon the Sherihs re-
turn. any recommendations the board
makes relating TO reform in the man
agement of the jail will be taken up
and acted upon effectively by him.
Thank God, He Shot HIMSELF"
A former county Official. who may or
NAV not have been skeptical-its all
how YOU look at it-said the authori-
ties were waiting until Petit should
return so he could claim the credit for
any disciplinary measures toward War
den Hults and against Jerry Ryan, who
was supposed to watch Holt the night
he died. The same former county Of
fetal commented very caustically:
THANK God, he shot himself; other
wise he might have walked out OF the
jail"
AT the resumption Of the inquest
next FRIDAY George Hoffman, who was
on duty in the jail on the night of
July 6, is expected TO tell n very in
teresting story refuting Jerry Ryan's
testimony. Ryan has claimed he heard
a noise. went away from Hollis cell to
investigate and that while he was so
engaged the madman destroyed him
self. But Hoffman said yesterday that
Ryan gave the alarm, and that he
heard Ryan say:
"Mv Cod The Docs got away from
me. He's shot himself"
Hoffman says he opened the door
from the main building to the. cell
house. turned on the lights and sent
Jerry down the east passage. Hoffman,
according to his version, ran down the
west passage, and found Holts body
lust as Jerry rejoined him. There is
still an impression in Mineola that
Jerry was doing.

steamers leaving New York for France
about the same time. In each case the
bombs were unexploded. and were evi,
IDENTIFY placed aboard before the vessel
left here. -,
The British steamer Bankdale. which
sailed on May 7 for Havre. carried an
internal machine in her hold. as did
the Lord Erne, which left for the same
destination on April 20. The belief OF
the Secret Service authorities In New
York is that the same band that placed
the explosives on those were responsi-
HE for the attempt to destroy the
Kirkoswald.
The earliest effort to destroy ves-
sci bound for France was when La
Touraine, OF the French Line, caught
fire in midocean. On board was big
consignment of ammunition for the
French army. About the same time
bomb was found on the Rochambeau'
also Of the French Line. and in Decem-
ber n like effort was made to blow up
the liner Chicago.
Steamship men in this city yesterday
declared that the workings OF the Ger
man spy system had advanced TO sucn
n degree that it was probable that
every cargo ship sailing from THIS port
with munitions for the Allies carried
one or more bombs.
The sugar on the Kirkoswaid came
from the Brooklyn plant of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company, whero
many German workmen are employed
No one was allowed to board the
Kirkoswald when the steamer reached
her pier at Thirty-frst Street, Brook
lyn. Yesterday. On the dock are huge
stacks of ammunition and other mu-
nitions destined for the French sol
diers. and to guard against any irregu-
larities an extra force of uniformed
guards had been scattered about the
pier.
Captain Williamson came to Manhat,,
tan to the Office of Elwell & Co.. and
later had conference with Secret Ser

NEUTRALITY SIGNS
LEGAL, SAYS POLK
City Ordinances Do Not Give
Mayor Power to Demand
Removal.

Corporation Counsel Polk cannot find
any legal bar to the display Of posters
such as those of the Organization Of
American Women for Strict Neutrality
Ten days ago Mrs. George De Witt
Moulson headed a delegation that called
on Mayor Mitchell to protest against
the posters and ask if he could not have
them taken off the billboards in the
city.
Mayor Mitchell turned the petition,
which was signed by fifty women, over
to the Corporation Counsel to see what
his rights were in such a case.
The objection was made on the
ground that the posters were the es-
sence of non-neutrality. They read:
american citizens! Uphold the
hands of the President in his noble
efforts TO preserve peace by urging that
Congress empower him to stop the ex-
portation Of arms and ammunition from
the United States to Europe.
THE Organization of American Women
for Strict Neutrality
While the Corporation Counsel was
looking into the matter the posters be-
gan 10 disappear from the billboards.
1t was explained at the headquarters of
the organization, in Baltimore, that It
was due to the fact that the space had
been rented only to July /, and there
was no money in the treasury to con-
tinue the campaign.
The opinion follows:
"The petitioners do not .
indicate any specific ordinance of the city
as applicable TO the posters of which
complaint is made. They simply eX-
press the hope that a matter of such
vital Importance will be found, upon
due investigation by the legal depart
ment of the city, to fall under estab-
lished ordinances guarding the welfare
Of the community.
"My investigation has failed to dis
close any provision of the code of or
Ginances, the charter or the general
statutes which, in my judgment, would
authorize Intervention by the Mayor in
the premises"
Mrs. Moulson said at her home, 596
Riverside Drive, last night that she
was surprised TO hear of Corporation
Counsel Polks decision in the matter
Of the posters. She added that she
had always been under the impression
that a penal law prevented the exhibit
ing of misleading advertisements, and
she thought the neutrality signs came
under this head. However, she con-
cluded as long as the billbOards had
been cleared Of the unneutral appeals
she hoped they would not be replaced.

begun as to the manner in which the
bombs might have been placed on their
vessel.
A rip in one Of the sacks caused two
Of the bombs to roll out Of the sugar.
Inside the bag three more were found.
Captain Williamson Immediately or
dered the entire vessel searched. and
four more bombs Of the same manu-
facture were uncovered. When the
entire cargo was removed every inch
of the interior Of the vessel was
searched. Members of the crew were
examined closely but suspicion was di-
rected toward none. The ship was held
in port for two weeks.
The discovery on the Kirkoswald
made the third of similar nature on

The cathedral is a mere skeleton OF

As one stands in what was once the

occasionally a stray shell adds TO the

portal on the south side no longer ex-

stand as a sort Of rugged, fragmentary

The last Bradley County Eagl,
 says that Gannaway, the War
 ren pitcher, was the only one il
 the League to pitch a no hit and
 no run game. The Eagle is mis
 taken about this, even if Mr
 Gannaway pulled off such g
 stunt. Chambers, of Monticello pitched no hit and no run game here against Dermott, and if Mir Gannaway ever accomplished such result, we would like to know when and where.
 Prof. kapp, a Government eX-
 pert, whose home IS at Camden, Arkansas, delivered an address to the farmers of Drew county, at the Court House, last Monday afternoon. MT. Kapp advocated Livestock growing, tick eradi- cation and soil building. He believes that the farmers would be greatly benefited by the em- ploYment of an experimental agricultural expert for the coun- ty. He Is q very good, prac tical speaker, and dealt in plain com mon-sense talk. At the request of number of farmers, Mr. kapp remained over in our city, and spoke again Monday night.
 The Sons of the Old Confeder- ate Soldiers of Drew county should get busy and organize Camp of Sons, here, and make an effort to perpetuate the heroic of their patriotic fathers. The old Veterans are fast passing away, and it would console them to feel and know that their sons were doing some thing to keep alive the memory of the cause for which so many true Southerners fought and died. A strong Camp of the Sons of the Confectionery should, be organized, at once, in Monti- cello. Let the young generation take this matter up, and show their veteran fathers, who are still with Us, that the spirit of chivalry and the love for the Old South is not dead. As before said the Monticellonian is ready and more than willing to aid the cause in every possible way.

OBITUARY.

Again the Reaper of Death has come and taken away the only little son of Rev. Hill Adcock and wife, Morrison. He was born Aug. 19, 1911 and died Sept. l, 1915. The Lord only gave him to us years and 13 days, but Oh, how sweet was his short stay with us. Like the rose that bloomed in the valley, short but so sweet.
 He was loved by all that knew him, pride and idol of our homes but God in His infinite wisdom saw fit to call him home to Heaven to help beautify His Throne We are sure God had great purpose in removing little Nor rison from earth, or He would have let us keep him while longer.
 We often times become so careless in this cold world that God has to chastise us to make us more obedient to His bidding.
 There is a great lesson for us in the history of the old Eastern Shepherds. It is said that when the sheep became careless and would not heed to the Shepherds voice, the Shepherd would take one of the choice little lambs in his arms and place in the fold, The sheep could hear the call of the lamb and would quickly come flocking through the gate into the fold, obey ing the Shepherds voice and com mands.
 We often see the hand of tht Great Shepherd come and take one oi our dear little lambs and carry him through the Pearly Gates. W' can fancy ourselves listening to hii sweet little voice calling us to come home May we through faith II Gods most wonderful grace meet hin in that sweet by and by. When the wilderness is past
 And we reach that home at last
 Oh, how happy our poor souls Will be : With the glorifed to stand , On that glittering glory land. His sweet face with the Saviour's w
 will see.

Oh! we know there is rest beyond That his sweet little soul has found For in our dreams his sweet face we can see. Through the stilly hours of night From the plains of endless light His sweet voice keeps whispering to you and me.
