FRENCH PRESS is
MERCILESS IN
ITS COMMENT

Paris, Nov. 22.-Althoush no official
confirmation of the death of Emperor
Francis Joseph had been received in
Paris early this morning the press gen.
orally accepted the news as authentic
In their comment the newspapers are
-merciiess. The Matin says:
The sinister old man who for IS
years wore the double crown disappears
too soon. Notwithstanding his Sc years
for he has not seen the approaching
hour of eNpiation of the crimes for
which he will bear eternally in history
q crushing responsibility and stigma
But the spectre of punishment must
have haunted his later days if this man
So rronStrously indifferent. was accesst'
hla to any feeling whateNer-this man
who witnessed unnlovcd the worst Ca
tastrophes hcap,d UP By fate on his
family and his country. The irony of
fate
If he had disappeared from the
rycnc three years ""Oncr the world
would have forgotten his calculating
cowerdice, his ferocious egotism. his
Hypocrisy. and would have remembered
only the private and public misfortunes
which marked almost all the years of
hts reign. without rejecting that these
n1isfortunes were all deserved. He
WOULD perhaps have been pitied. But
justice has not permitted that he swim
die the world out of this supreme hon.
age. 1t has made for his death a set
ing of reprobation and horror"
1t is not believed in Paris that the
death of the Emperor will affect the
war in any way. The general impress
sion here is that he had long been more
or less of a figurehoad. signing without
reading the documents to which his sig
nature was necessary and taking no
other part in affairs of state.

1t was one of the most successful
horse sales ever held in southern

sells everything. You are going to

Will Help Europe's Blind Soldiers.

The thousands of French, Belgian
and British soldiers who have been
blinded in the European war, are in
a pitiable condition, according to an
appeal of American bankers, philan-
thropists and business men, through
the B. F. B. Permanent Blind Relief
War Fund, 500 Fifth Avenue, New,
York City, and the appeal was issued
locally Monday by Thomas Teale,
president of the Farmers & Traders
State Bank of Leon, who is sub
treasurer of the fund in this locality
and who will receive and forward all
local contributions. Unable to work
at former trades, these numerous
blinded war victims cannot support
themselves and their families. Their
governments, overburdened with
more immediate problems, are able
to do very little for them, the appeal
states Six months training, on the
other hand, it is said, can educate al
most all of these thousands of now
useless blind men in practical trades,
in which they can support themselves
and at least partially support their
families. Mr.. Teale will be glad to
receive and forward any donations to
this worthy cause in the name of
humanity.
