FtIGNS BLINDNESS To
ESCAPE THE GERMANS

PARIS, Oct ia professor oI
the Sorbonne, the great French
University, recently secured his re-
lease from a German military prison
bv a remarkable exercise of will pow
er. He fell into the hands OF the
Germans in A915. Deciding at once
to get free IN some way he feigned
blindnes.
From that time it was impossible
for the German military doctors or
eve specialists to catch him off his
guard. The subjected him to the
severest known tests such as sudden
apparitions of unfamiliar and uneX-
pected objects, sudden transitions
from complete obscurity to dazzling
light. He was tortured by scientific
ways of verifying sightlessness but
never once departed from fixed blank
gaze. presenting always and absolute
absence of expression in his eyes. He
was finally declared totally blind and
included in a recent exchange of per-
nanently disabled prisoners.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The world

sixty million dollars daily, according
10 an estimate made public today by
the Mechanics and Metals National
bank
Tbe estimate states the United States

money in prosecution of the war than
any other nation. England is placed
second among financial hackers Of the
war. with Germany third. The interest
on iais latter nations public debt al

estimate at ten per cent. of the normal
income of the whole German people,
While this countrys proportion is less
than one-half of one per lent. Of the

FEWER CRIMINALS IN
THIS BONE-OBY STATE

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 16.-Georgia Is
confronted with a shortage Of crimin-
ais.
For the first time in the history Of
the criminal division Of Fulton Supe-
rior court, the judge has taken re-
cess for week because there are nc
cases on the docket.
From other large county seats in
Georgia come reports of similar sit
uation, one county even going so far
as to advertise its Jail for rent, because
t was empty.
Georgia's bone-dry laws, which fin
ally have banished liquor from the
state about as completely as it can be
banished, are undoubtedly the explain
alton for the remarkable decrease OF
crimes and misdemeanors. Court Off
cials, sheriffs and police authorities ev-
erywhere in the state declare that the
absence of liquor accounts for the abb
sence, of lawbreakers.
The empty jails and dwindling con
wet gangs are being cited as the most
powerful of all arguments for prohib,
tion, in the campaign now being wag
ed throughout the state in the interest
of national prohibition by amendment
of the federal constitution. Under the
of the Georgia Anti-Salcon

THE MERCHANT
POINT OF VIEW

Business men, in common with many
others not of their class, hailed the
end of the session of Congress with
feeling of relief. No previous session
;r the history of the country compares
with the latest one in number AM
variety of enactments affecting IN
dustriaI and mercantile activities.
Not only have all the domestic in
dustries been subjected to more or less
official regulation, with the fixing Of
prices or the restriction of trans
portation of products, but the whole
O. the foreign trade, inbound and out
bound, has been put under rigid con-
troll Then, too, arrangements have
been perfected for taking larger toll
of the profits of the industry in un-
wonted ways, some of which appear
to impose burdens inequiLably. Added
to these disturbing factors has been
tht tremendous enlargement of the
fitting forces of the nation, which has
drawn upon the man power of prac-
tically every kind of occupation, and
the raising of the biggest of national
loans, which has and will continue
TO take from the investment reservoirs
and the savings of all the people. A
pause in further government activity
is therefore relished, in order that the
effects of what has been done may be
seen and understood and the requisite
adjustments made which the new con-
ditions require. Thus far, aside FROM
the increases in the price of COM
mddities, there has been little eyi--
dence of embarrassment. This is
due to the stimulation of productive
activity resulting from the war needs
of this country and the allies.

blow in his open hand and clinched
with the officer. AS he did so. the
