vested in copper stocks which had
proven worthless. Upon Clay's ques-
tion as to the origin of the payments
which he had regularly received, Nor
ton informs him that he had sent the
money, charity money to the son of
his old friend. Clay refuses to believe
him and declares that he will fight it
out.
On the next day Nan, who has con-
nected the contents of the discovered
letter with the matter in hand, con-
fronts Norton, in Clay's presence, with
his perfidy. She proves that Norton
had transferred his own worthless
stock to his ward, after the letter
countermanding its purchase was re-
ceived, even after the death of the
father. Norton is unable to defend
himself and Nan, who for years had
longed for revenge, nobly forgets self
and is generous in the terms she de-
nands-the restoration to Clay of his
property and the speedy redress of the
peoples wrongs.
A love plot runs through the story.
Clay meeting Margaret in the board

and courage in her altered conditions,
and then learns to love her. She re-
turns his love and Clay confides in
Nan. When Nan, who has loved Clay
from the first, learns that his affection
is given to Margaret, she is very Bit
ter and begs Margaret to give him up.
Margaret. who has promised that her
friendship will stand any test, yields
Ito Mans entreaties. When Clay de-
mands the cause of her change, she
has no answer and he believes she has
heard of his worthless Inheritance
Nan, however, holds vigil with herself
and realizes that Clay's love can never
be hers and that her dreams of happi-
ness may be realized in her service to
humanity. She restores Clay to Mar.

Art Renascense in
Wake of World War

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
Rome, Oct. 22.-That the war will
result in a rebirth Of architectural art
in vaster and more beautiful buildings
than the coliseum or the American
skyscraper is the opinion of DR.. Jesse
Benedict Carter, director Of the Amer
lean academy in Rome, who has just
been appointed by the French COVER
nor to deliver the Harvard series of
lectures this winter before twelve OF
its provincial universities.
DR.. Carter expressed this opinion in
the Roman forum during an inter-
view with The Associated Press, just
after his first annual lecture there, a
lecture which was attended by Am
bassador Thomas Nelson Page and
other Americans. Said DR.. Carter:
IAN art renaissance has two basic re-
quirements, first crisis. then the con-
tributed wealth of few people. This
war has furnished both. Let me cx-
plain the second requirement. While
this war has impoverished majority
of the people Of Europe, it has en-
riched lot of contractors and NUM-
ton manufacturers, who after the war
will have more money than they can
spend. Such men have ever become

for the resumption of specie payment
on the notes of the Bank Of China
and the Bank of Communication. For
the disarmament of surplus troops,
$20,000,000 more will be required. Re-
organization in the various provinces
would claim an expenditure of
100000, and he suggests an ap-
preparation Of 100000 for the i'm
provement of railways, and $4,000
900 for administrative expenditure.
An elaborate plan for the reform
of tax collection is outlined, including
the making Of a proper budget and
the reformation of the currency sys-
tenn. He would establish an inspect
orate-general for the supervision of
tax collection throughout the republic,
fashioned somewhat after the reor-
ganization foreign bankers effected
to collect salt taxes pledged to them
as security for reorganization loan.
The minister of finance estimates
$l20,000,000 can be realized from the

Two Dreadnoughts
OF Kaiser Hit by
British Torpedoes

London, Nov. IA claim that two
'dreadnoughts were hit by the British
submarine which yesterday was re-
ported launching torpedo at and
striking a German dreadnought in
the North Sea, is contained in a
further report received from the COM
manding officer of the submarine, it
was officially announced today. The
two dreadnoughts claimed to have
been struck were battleships of the
Kaiser class.
The naval registers show five dread
naught battleships of the Kaiser class,
all completed between October, 1912,
and August, 1918. Besides the name
ship of,the class, they are the Fried
rich der Crosse, Kaiserin, Prinz Re-
gent Luitpold and Koenig Albert.
The displacement of each is 24,7O0
tons, length 564 feet, beam ninety-five
feet and draft twenty-seven feet.
Their ornaments consisted of ten
twelve-inch guns, fourteen six-inch
guns, twelve twenty-four Founders
and four anti-aircraft guns. They are
equipped with five torpedo tubes,
submerged. The Kaiser's best speed
record is given as 236 knots.
Reports from British sources that
the Kaiser was sunk in the Jutland
sea fight last May were semi-official-
ly denied in Berlin. 1t was stated
that the Kaiser was only twice light
ly hit by gunfire, one man being
killed

Chinese Financier
Plans Big Reform

Correspondence of The Associated Press.>
Picking, Oct. 16.-Chen Chin-tao,
the new minister of finance, has out
lined plans for financial reform and
prepared estimates on the possible
income of China under effective ad-
ministration, which shows an annual
total Of $49,000,000 silver.
This amount is in decided contrast
to the recent annual receipts Of the
central government, which have been
about $0,000,000 silver. OF this sum,
the minister of finance says that only
$30,0O0,000 silver can be absolutely
depended upon.
The receipts of the central govern
ment have dwindled terribly under
revolutionary influence. At present
less than half a dozen provinces are
renting to Picking, and finances are
in a precarious condition.
Chen Chin-tao has advised that a
foreign loan of $l,000,000,000 silver
should be contracted at once. OF
this sum he would use $25,000,000

BUGGY BUILDERS STILL BUSY
In Spite of Automobiles Their Bust
ness Seems to Be Hold
ing Up.

Every year since 1872, when few
trades or lines of industry had ma
tional organizations or annual conven-
tons, the carriage builders of the
United States have gathered in some
city, alternately in the east and west,
to talk business and have a good time.
The years since 1872 have brought
some amazing changes in transporta-
ton, but the carriage builders are still
doing business and their announce
ment of their forty-fourth annual con-
vention in Cincinnati next month does
not indicate that they are downhearted
by the probability that another year
will see one motor car in this coun-
try to every twenty-five Inhabitants.
There are fewer carriage builders
than there used to be, but they still
do an amount of business that will
surprise some persons. The figures
for 1914, recently made public by a
special census bulletin. show 1,187 900
horse-drawn vehicles of all kinds made
in the country that year, Of which
$4,000 were buggies. The total value
was $135,793,35 and $500 establish
ments were included in the enumera-
ton.
The motor car is coming and COM
ing fast, as some of us may have OBJ
served, but it is not putting the horse
out of business any more than the
railway or the trolley car or the
bicycle did-and it is not likely to in
our generation or the next. The coun-
try is big enough for millions of motor
cars without shutting off the demand
for 100000 or more new buggies every
year.--Boston Herald.

WI TING FANG IS
FOREIGN MINISTER
Diplomat Stationed at Wash.
ington Many Years Member
of Chinese Cabinet.
FRIEND OF UNITED STATES

Picking, Nov. 7.-Wu Ting Fang
has been appointed minister Of for
eign affairs. His appointment was
approved today by the virtually unan-
iinous vote of Parliament.
WI Ting Fang was Chinese minis
ter at Washington for several years.
Two previous selections of Premier
Tuan Chi-Jui for the foreign portfolio
were rejected by Parliament because
of the monarchial leanings Of the men
designated.
Under the guidance of WI Ting
Fang the Chinese foreign Office will
be conducted by man who has per-
haps a greater degree Of familiarity
with American affairs than any other
Chinese statesman. During his two
terms of service at Washington he
gained a national reputation for his
picturesque personality and his wit.
He was regarded at Washington as
an exceptionally capable diplomat
and a friend of the United States.
During the Boxer uprising of 1900 he
succeeded in getting through mes
sage to the American minister, Mr..
Conger, who, with his colleagues, was
in the compound in Picking, and
whose fate was matter Of concern
to the State department. His sym
pathies were manifestly with the
United States during the troubles and
this led to his recall. In 1907 he was
again appointed minister at Washing
ton and was recalled in 1909.
WI Ting Fang Is a pronounced lib
eral and was in sympathy with the
revolution which led to the over
throw of the Manchu dynasty, shar-
ing in the work of forming repub-
lican government After President
Yuan Shi Kai announced his inten-
ton of becoming emperor Of China,
and the revolution started in south
China, WI Ting Fang advised the
president few weeks before his
death last summer to retire from
office.
As foreign minister WI Ting
Fang's most important work prob
ably will be in connection with the
difficult questions of relations with
Japan. He has been a sympathizer
of DR.. Sun Vat Sen, the southern
revolutionary leader, and during the
administration of Yuan Shi Kai did
not take a prominent part in public
affairs, so that little Is known in
this country in regard to his attitude
toward the differences between
China and Japan.

France Talking Of
Jail Bird Slackers

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
Paris, Oct. 24.-The protection
from German shells enjoyed by con-
victs through their own misdeeds,
while the law-abiding men of France
able to bear arms are making such
heavy sacrifices, has raised a dis
cussion as to the propriety of sending
to the front of all able-bodied men
now in prison.
"Jail-bird slackers" is the name
given to men sentenced In 1914 or
previously to periods of confinement
that have carried them over the first
two years of the war. A law recently
introduced in the Chamber Of Depu-
ties by Pierre yRameil and Andre
Hesse contemplates the incorporation
of certain categories of these men.
The proposition was received with
considerable satisfaction until study
of the question developed forcible
objections. A great many people
held that 1t would be according too
much honor to allow convicts to
fight at the front alongside the gal
liant soldier of the republic. Others
held that the results would scarcely
justify the experiment while the
number of recruits that could be
obtained this way, estimated at the
Ministry of Justice between 5000 and
1000, would furnish too small an eff
fort to justify the risk. 1t would be
necessary to provide an organization
absolutely separate and distinct from
any other arm of the service to pre-
vent contact between convicts and
the soldiers of the regular army.
A great many prisoners have beg
bed for the privilege of suspension
of their sentence to permit them to
go to the front, and have thus ap-
pealed with some force to the senti-
ment of charitably minded people.
There are precedents, however, show
ing that the men who have gone to
the front to clear themselves of stains
upon their record have not in every
case justified the hope that was en-
tertained.

This war will surely bring a
healthy reaction in art. 1t means the
death of cubism and other follies. 1t
will bring the intense suffering and
the sympathy therefor which results
in great art productions. One of the
peculiarities of the new artistic tenn
