ODD BRIDGES IN OLD WORLD
One Of the Most Ancient Structures Is
That at croyIand, England, Dating
From Ninth Century.

Probably no town in the world has
such strange bridges as Srinagar, the
capital of Kashmir, In India. The city
Is built on the banks of the River Jhe-
lum, which is crossed by many wooden
bridges, lined with old and dilapidated
shops and houses, with balconies and
lattice windows. Some of these are
very insecure, and look as If they
might at any time fall into the river
beneath, says London Tit-Bits.
The rooted Kapellbruche, at Lu-
cerne, is one of the most interesting
1t crosses the River Reuss diagonally
and has 112 triangular paintings be-
meath the roof, recording the heroic
deeds of the old Switzers and the suf
ferings of their patron saints. In the
midst of the Kapellbruche stands al
octagonal tower, which formed par
of the Notifications Of the town in the
thirteenth century. The bridge wal
| built in 1893.
| One Of the most curious and ancien
| bridges in Europe is that at CrOyland
| In Lincolnshire, which is supposed L
date from the ninth century. No roa'
now passes over and no water unde
it. 1t consists of three pointed arches
which meet in the center. and the as
cent is so steep that only foot passen
gers can 90 over it. Upon the bridg
is seated figure in stone of a robe
Saxon king.

REFUSES TO SURRENDER OFFICE
Gibbes's Attorneys Expected to Serve
Mandamus Papers.

Columbia, March S.-Contending
that the statutes do not give the gov
ernor power to revoke commission
after once it is issued, A. A. Richard
son, chief game warden, in state
ment issued here late this afternoon,
said that, if the chief executive had
such power, my job would have been
gone long ago." Mr.. Richardson S
expression was in criticism of the ac-
ton of Governor Manning in revok-
ing this morning the commission of
Wade Hampton Gibbes, of Columbia,
as chief game warden, which was is
sued on February 25, and reappoint-
ing him, effective today. On both oc-
casions MIR. Gibbes went to the office
of chief game warden and requested
that it be turned over to him, and
both times this request was refused
by Mr.. Richardson. Mr.. Richardson
contended today, as he did on Febru
ary 26, that Mr.. Gibbes commission
was illegal. Before he had not re-
ceived the endorsement of the Audu-
bon society nor had he been confirm
ed by the senate.
1t is expected that Mr.. Gibbes's at
torneys will serve mandamus papers
on Mr.. Richardson tomorrow.

Paris, March 10.-In a Paris
boarding house kept by nuns, lives
the peasant girl who has stirred the
Imagination of the French by her
declaration that, like Joan of Arc,
she has seen visions and heard voices
commanding her to rise up and guide
the soldiers of France to victory and
the deliverance of her country. She
is Mile. Perchaud, 20 years old,
daughter Of farmer of the depart
ment of La Vendee.
In accordance with the orders of
Cardinal Annette, the nuns will not
permit her to be interviewed. One
of the sisters said today:
''She is very simple and pious. To
all questions she invariably replies,
DO not ask me anything, for 1 must
say nothing.''
Each day Mile. Perchaud goes to
make her devotions at the Chapel of
Mont Marte, which contains statue
of Joan of Arc. The strictest secrecy
is being maintained in regard to her
by the authorities.

WILL ARM VESSELS.
Acts in Accordance With
Decision.

Washington, March 1O.-The
American government today began
actual preparations for arming Amer
ican merchantmen against Ger
many's ruthless submarine warfare.
Ship owners having been notified of
President Wilson's decision that he
has full authority to proceed with
this policy, details were taken up so
there might be as little delay as pos
sible in granting requests for de-
fensive armament
When vessels sail under the policy
of armed neutrality they will do so
with the full backing of the admins
tration-eXpresse in the form of
war risk insurance and naval guns
and gunners. 1t was made clear to-
day that in the background will be
the entire resources of the United
States-ready for action should Ger
many attack an American armed
ship in violation of the warning of
the American government.
Governments View.
The State departments view of de-
fensive armament as expressed today
was that the mere appearance of a
German submarine near an American
armed vessel would entitle the YES
sci to take all measures of protec-
tion on the presumption that the u
boats purpose was hostile. This was
based on Germany's announcement
that her submarines would attack
without warning any belligerent or
neutral merchantmen encountered
within the barred zone.
Whether this position will be en-
bodied in instructions to commanders
of American armed ships and wheth-
er arms and ammunition will be fur
nished to vessels carrying contra
band were up for discussion today,
but no announcement on either point
was authorized.
The attitude of President Wilson
has been that no steps of belliger-
ent character should be taken and
that if state of war comes it must
come through Germanys commission
of acts in clear violation of inter-
national law.
Shoot-on-Sight Programme.
Some officials close to the presi-
dent are known to feel that in line
with this policy the United States
should not sanction shoot-on-sight
programme which might be construed
as aggression.
Since the policy of the government
in the past has been not to insure
vessels carrying arms and ammuni-
ton to the belligerents, it has been
considered probable that this atti-
tude would be maintained. The lists
of contraband articles recognized by
the United States differ widely from
those drawn up by the various bel
ligerents since the outbreak of the
war and, therefore, it is believed that
only actual munitions of war will be
placed on the restricted list for the
purpose of determining what ships
are to be insured.
