 the Germans were smelling q French
 outpost but a little way on. We did
 as we were directed, but in some way
 took route that led us to the very
 spot we had tried to avoid. The sound
 of the guns came nearer and nearer,
 but we momentarily expected our road
 would turn suddenly and sharply
 away. And. too, the firing had ceased
 during the last fifteen minutes, and,
 speeding as we were, we had gone far
 in that time. On coming to the top of
 a hill we were thunderstruck to see,
 less than half a mile away, long line of British soldiers filing at double quick time across pontoon bridge. As if timing our arrival to a second, the firing began anew. The British line paused a moment, and we heard an indistinct command We could plainly see the men getting ready for their sprint under fire, with space of twenty feet between each. Then came the dash. I grew faint as I saw many of them fall into the river below. Once over the bridge, they raced up the hill, and far away on it's crest we saw the Germans begin their advance.
 The English fell flat on their stom- achs and began firing. They worked their guns so quickly that Dr. Souchon said they must be hot in their hands. The Germans came with rush. sat there petri1ed. It seemed as if I could not endure the sight, when all at once the doctor said in voice he tried to make calm, What do you make out over there?H pointing to a spot on the horizon. The sun came out brilliantly fora second, and we saw plainly de- tachment of French cavalry. At the same moment a French aeroplane swept into view, and there was a gilt ter as of tinsel waved in the sun. It was an artillery signal for range, and an instant later we heard the peculiar bark of the French 75. The Germans had heard it too. They began falling back.
 The doctor said quietly, ..I think we had better go."
 The road was empty of troops, so we made up for lost time. Half an hour later we found the place for which we had been searching.
 It was large country house stand ing in little clump of trees. Thel door was open. On the polished floor were scattered a deck of cards, half a 1 dozen empty champagne bottles and l even few filled ones. A table was overturned; cigars and cigarette ends ] were all over the place. A tapestry l chair lay upside down with it's back | broken and hanging by the cloth. A 1 china cabinet had evidently been | smashed with chair. Knives, forks and plates were lying. in confusion, with half eaten food scattered every where.
 Loot and destruction had gone hand in hand What couldn't be taken must be destroyed

INJURY ESTATE IS
 $I8,OOO, PROBATE
 RECORDS DISCLOSE
Bank President Was Generally
 Rated as at Least Mill / IiOnaire.

When Thomas M. Mu1ry, president of the Enigrant Industrial Savings Bank of New York and director Of several corporations, died March 10 last following an acute attack of pneumonia, it was generally believed he left a large estate. One million dollars was considered a conservative estimate.
 MT. Mulry was a brother of Rev. J. A. Mulry, who addressed the Knights of St. Patrick here last Thursday.
 Yesterday MT. Mulry's will was filed in the Surrogate's Court by Mrs Mary E. Mulry of 10 Perry street. The pc tition attached to the document show ed the estate to be precisely $18,00o- Of this amount, the petition stated MT. Mu1ry left realty valued at ST. 900. Ordinarily the exact amount of an estate is not disclosed in the pro- bate papers.
 The entire estate goes to Mrs. Mulry, who is made the sole legatee and exc cutrix. No mention is made in the will of any of the five sons and two daughters. The will was executed Oct. 13, 1903, and is brief
 MT. Mulry had been heavily. inter ested in financial matters in New York for years and this and his connection with many financial institutions led to the belief that he was man of wealth. He was trustee of the bank of which he was president, a trustee of the Mutual Life Insurance Co.,, and ad irector of the United States Title Guaranty Go. At one time has was a vice president and director of the Pru- dential Real Estate Corporation s
 MT. Mulry was prominent in Cath olic and philanthropic circles. He was president of the Superior Council of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, which conducts St. Vincept's hospital, and member of the state board of charities.

Urban and Rural Problems.

City problems are obvious" says the
report of the department of social service
of Indiana university, and 1t adds: "Any
one who considers the difficulties of pa
tients in a hospital or ,dispensary at once
attributes them to city life. This is a
mistake Investigation by the depart
troubles have their origin Sin the country
and the small town" Some years ago,
CLYDE Fitch. in the last drama from his
pen, The CITY, advanced MUCK the same
theory. The city, as Fitch viewed it, gave
emphasis to dominant traits of character.

The country and the small town prob

the department. But, doing SO, they for

selves Of undesirables. This Is nothing
less than public o~pinion-more potent as
1T is more condemnatory the smaller the

there would be less added to the city's
burden and less poison would flow back

The situation may be peculiar to In

social and medical problems of Indian
apolis come. not from Europe. not from
it, " back streets and attic rooms, but
from the farms and river towns and lead

the Kentucky border"
There - much in this arraignment that
calls for serious thought. It discloses the
existence Of the ''vicious circle That eafs
its wi tail" And It suggests that social
service must extend itself to the country
before It can do its work effectively In
the city.

Sweet Potato Not a Luxury.
From the petroit .Journal.

AlOiIi liS DcliOtl JOuIIldl.
At last some little relief is offered
those who are trying to figure out ways
and means of escaping the high cost of
living. 1t is a simple remedy and will
help decrease the cost of one of the
great table staples. Buy sweet pota-
toes and use them in place of the or
binary Irish variety.
Sweet potatoes always have been
reckoned as a comparative luxury, but,
owing to a great shortage in the Irish
potato crop, which government reports
estimate at about 5000, 900 bushels,
the price of the ordinary potato is
soaring above hat of it's more succu-
lent relative. h sweet potato. and you
can buy the latter for about Is cents
a peck cheaper. which makes it much
less a luxury.
AS far as food value is concerned, the
sweet potato is about equal to the or
binary variety. The greater per cent
of each variety is composed of starch,
which is necessary. the dietitians tell
us. to a we'll balanced ration.
