QUALITY OF GOLF SHOWN
AT SHORT HILLS GOOD


Short Hills, ~ j., June 16-TheTe
was no questioning the quality of golf
shown today by the leaders in the
36-hole qualifying round for the an
nual open championship of the Unit
ed States Golf association over the
Baltusrol links. Thirty-two men
qualified from the first half Of the big
entry yesterday when the best medal
score was 151, made by Francis Oui-
met, the national amateur champion
from Massachusetts, and James
Thompson, the Philadelphia profess
sional.
Today, however, three lower scores
went to the top Of the list and jerome
ID. Travers, who has won more cham
pionships than any other amateur
golfer in America, tied yesterdays
best score.
The three leaders today, Gilbert
Nichols, Wilmington, Della, 147;
James Barnes, White aMrsh Valley,
Pa, western open champion, 149; and
Jack Bowling, Scarsdale, n. Y, 1850,
are all professionals. Nichols, who
recently won the open tournament at
Shawnee, Pa, made the morning
round in ~, the best score of the
week, although 1t was duplicated
later in the day by Isaac S. Maekie,
who bettered his morning score 10
strokes in doing it, while Barnes and
Bowling had 70 each in their second
round of the course.

New York, June 6.-Regardless OF
another gold import of $1,000, 600 from
Canada, making total of $4,000, 900
received from that quarter since Jan

showed increased weakness today. De-

fell to 4.76A and All respectively,
these quotations being Il of cent
under yesterdays figures, which were
the lowest in many years.
Paris checks and cables also showed
greater weakness, demand bills being
sold at SAG Y, against yesterdays rate
of 5,45&. In fine, this means that
an American dollar was worth q of

was yesterday, or that francs we're at

| Paris. June 3.--The French press is
now clamoring for more cannon and
more ammunition with as much IN
sistence " the English They take as
their text. General Castclnau's declar-
alton:
War must bc waged not by the
shock of men, but 10y the shock of
ammunition"
4 year ago the ammunition supplies
for the ihree-inch field guns were
only 1900 shells per gun. with q re-
serve OF 200. It had been icreased
from 200 per gun In 1903 after Cen
eral Langlois had declared in the sen
ate the supply then In hand would be
just sufficient for day and half
Of battle He asked for 5000 shells
per gun. Only 1.40O were granted,
provision being made for the manu-
facture of 1850 shells a day In the
government arsenals.
Estimates Too Low.
The first month of war showed that
Iall estimates as TO needed ammunition
were too low. French arsenals and
private factories are now said TO pro-
ducing no, 900 shells day. Notwith-
standing the continued demands of
the press for more munitions, this Is
supposed TO be sufficient for current
needs besides creating n big reserve
stock, careful estimates putting at
from 100000 to 10000 the number
Of shells now being used each day.
The prodigality of the French army
on the shells has already been set
forth in dispatches. The intensity Of
the German fire Is indicated by an
actual count of 10000 shells fired in
an hour and half upon a French po-
sition $50 yards In length and 400
yards i'm depth in the Bots d'Ailly.
Germans Less Prodigal.
1t is estimated that more than 200-
O00 shells were used by them in the
actions between the fifth and the thr-
tieth of April in the forest OF Aper-
mont while the French over a limited
front near Souain in Champagne,
fired 100000 shells Of large caliher.

than a million an hour The number
of cartridges used on both fronts from
the Carpathians to the North sea has

ment at three years Imprisonment in

reason that it was the first of num-
Der of similar cases involving police

For instance; During the two
weeks of drawn out fighting at Ce-

drew his revolver. He fired point

The mail pouch which was
carried away by burglars who
ransacked the postoffice week
ago Saturday night, was found
Friday near Rankin Station.
The finding of this pouch, which
contained two or three mutilated
stamps, will probably be the last
evidence and concluding chapter
in one of the smoothest pillages
ever recorded in Brandon history,
and no doubt if the professionals
who accomplished the work knew
how the average citizen fell to
the wild goose chase of those
long cared hounds on that beau
tiful Sabbath morning, they are
yet laughing in their sleeves.
When the editor of this paper
examined the safe and saw the
manner in which it was opened
he was convinced that it was
done by nitroglycerine in the
hands of men who understood
their business. We believe they
belonged to gang who have
confederates in the cities to
whom the stamps are sent for
disposal. The matter of appre-

hension is up to Uncle Sam, and
we sincerely hope that his
sleuths will be successful in
running them down.

In the destruction by fire of
Mr.. and Mrs. Dock Thornton's
home on Depot street Sunday
morning at IL o'clock, Brandon
sustained the loss of another
splendid home and landmark.
When discovered the angry
flames were leaping skyward
from almost the entire roof, and
far beyond control, the dry
shingles burning like finder, and
less than an hour the entire
building, with most of it's con-
tents, was reduced to ashes.
The building stood back from the
street about a hundred yards,
occupying a beautiful site for a
home. 1t was erected by the late
John w. Collier about IS years
ago, and was it's builders home
up to the time of his death, about
10 years ago. 1t was constructed
of the very best heart lumber,
and designed for convenience
and comfort, making it one of
the most desirable places in
town. Insurance was carried on
the house and furniture, but the
amount was not sufficient to
cover the loss. Mr.. and Mrs.
Thornton had packed most of
their household goods, preparing
to move to Blue Mountain, Miss,
where they expected to reside
temporarily in order to improve
the educational advantages OF
their children. On the morning
of the fire they had been burn
ing waste paper and other refuse
and it is thought that sparks fell
on the roof, and famed by a
breeze, originated the flames.

That Brandon is growing rap

ways is shown by the fact that a
prominent merchant in this town
has been living next door to one
of our city aldermen for three
years and never knew until a
few days ago that his neighbor
was a member of the aldermanlc
body. 1t is fact that in all
cities the size of our own Bran

enveloped in commercialism and
busy night and day rolling up

hard matter for the average bus
