Paris July 10.-tSpecial)-The Croix de Pierre, a society that was organized in France a short time before the war broke out with the object of protecting histor- ical architectural monuments such as the Rheims cathedral, Sossons cathedral and the city hall at Arras.

New York, July 24.-(SpecialD When Henry T. Davidson returned in the early spring, from his winters visit to London and Paris many were the conjectures about the purpose of that Visit. He did not reveal it. It is one of the qualifications of Mir. Davidson as a master of great financing that he knows when to speak and when to be taciturn. He can conceal his thoughts with an impenetrable mask But if a1y one who is occupied with great fi- nancing maintains silence, then it is Iea asonably to be inferred that he is occupied with great things. Some of these were revealed some weeks after MT. Davidson's return although not until after his visit had been supple mented by the one which J. r. Morgan made late in the winter and early in the spring.
 Again MT. Davison has returned hay ing made a second visit to Great Brit ain Whether or not he went to Paris Is not disclosed. Of matters with which he was not concerned he was willing to speak, saying briefly but e.nphatically, that his visit to London had no relation to the criticism in Eng lend which was aimed against the ap- pointment of the house of J. P. Morgan x Co. as the general agents for Great Britain in the United States with re- spect to the purchase of arms and mu- lltions. The criticism which was voiced in England respecting the ap- pointment of the Morgan house as agent for Great Britain was not very Important, nor did any of those who are leaders in Great Britain partici- pate in it. Instead there has been un- qualified commendation for the manner In which this American house has with utmost watchfulness served as over seers in the placing of British con- tl acts here.
 The Great War Loan
 Ii may have been a mere coincidence in point of time that the stupendous var loan which has just been success fully placed by Great Britain with her own people, rich and poor should have Eeen under way at the time of Mr Davisons visit A little later there will be disclosures of the use to which Great Britain will put a considerable part of this loan There is no respon-

The close of the second Balkan war

she will not take arms against Rus

TUNE A0AiNs
Home, where the feathers are softest,
Home, where the grub is the best,
Home, where a fellows part of
The circle, not merely a guest.
Home, where the bed room Is roomy.
Where upper berths never are known.
Where you can't hear the shores OF
your neighbors
And fog whistles never are blown.
Home, where the laughter is truest,
Home to the kiddies again.
Home, where the skies are the. bluesr.
Back to the porch and the den.
Back where there is no confusion
Or clamor,. or speeches or shout -
Where the dining room never is
crowded -s. g.. ..'..E
And bell hops aren't rushing about.
Home where songs are the sweetest
Home to the ones that are true;
Rack to the life that's completest
Back to the work we must do.
Back to the grind; yes and ready
To take up the battle again,
For after the fun and the travel
Home looks mighty good to us then.
Had a good time? I should say so!
Laughter and sunshine and song
Went with US all as we journeyed,
Nothing we'd planned turned out
wrong.
But now that it's over, we're happy,
For somehow wherever we roam,
We find that the best joy of travel,
Is always the getting back home.

A bit of wit

IN many ways the verses are the
pest ne has written they are more
nnlshed, the language is better and
they seem more mature. yet all of his
verses are delightful in their optimism
and in very rare sense of humcr.
When one knows that the author Is q
cripple, neither able to walk, nor use
his hands, his philosophy of life
seems the more remarkable. He sits
In his chair and thinks out the verses
and then calls to some member cf
the family to write them out for him.
Not long ago he sent a copy of Quo
Iof his books to one of the MacMillans
iof the great publishing house and
received delightful letter, enclosing
a check for twenty-five dollars, asking
that fifty books be sent to him to give
his personal friends, he said he wanted
to pass on the smile that had come to
him with the little book. Mr.. Roses
poems have several times been copied
In The Gate City, and you will recall
the gospel Of good cheer which every
zone Of them breaches. These two
stanzas are from Don't Grlmble:"
There's no use finding fault with
things,
And grouching night and day;
The grouching habit always brings
More gloominess our way.
The sun Is always going down
And never coming up
When folks would rather wear q
frown
Than sip loving cup.
There's nothing better than a smil.s,
So let's go forth today
With one that shows for half a mile,
And. soon we'll hear folks say:
II he can laugh. then SO can l.
And sure enough they do.
And those who used to whine and cry
Will soon be laughing too"
The dispatches yesterday in the pa
pers reported that DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw, the president of the National
American Womans Suffrage assoc;a-
ton, had her automobile seized to sat-
isfy tax assessment which she had
refused to pay. The reason she gave
for refusing to pay the tax was the
same as was made in 1776, that "tav-
alton without representation is tryan-
ny" The incident brought to mind
the fact that an Iowa woman, Miss
Mary Osmond of Osceola, has made
the county treasurer for years and
years write after the record Of the
payment of her taxes these words:
paid under protest" Neither woman
is Illogical or unreasonable in her at
titude.
