Photographer of Ypres
w. G. Shepherd in Harper's Magazi

W. G. Shepherd in Harper's Magazine.
There is the photographer Of Ypres,
for instance In the old days of peace
his photographs were the standard of
Ypres photography; his views of the
Cloth Hall, the art gallery, and the
quaint streets were those which the
tourists bore away with them. In April
of 1915, before the second battle of Ypres,
he was still in Ypres, though it had been
almost emptied of civilians. With an in
finite patience he had found the exact
points of vantage from which he had
taken photographs of the famous build
ings in peace times and had turned his
camera on the wrecks. His series Of pho
tographs, entitled, Before and After,
showed to mathematical nicely the ruin
that had been done to Ypres. He pub
lished them in postcard form, bound
them into little booklets, and sold them
to the only tourists that ever came to
Ypres, the officers and soldiers of Eng
land and Canada. The second battle of
Ypres in the latter part of April wrought
new destruction and rendered his edition
passe, and the patient photographer,
working amid the EXPLOSIONS of giant
German Shells was engaged with his
same loving patience, in taking new pic
lures of the new ruins when the British
officers, to save his life, ordered him to
leave the town.
What would you have called your
new edition of the photograph book?"
7 asked him, as I purchased one of the
last copies of his Before and After -
II intended to name it Before and
After and After and I hoped to add
one new After for each new addition"

DISCOVER PLOT 10
 MURDER PRESIDENT
GOVERNMENT OFFICERS REFUSE TO MAKE KNOWN NAMES OF
 MEN ARRESTED.

Memphis, Tenn. - Threats against President Wilson were intercepted by piecing together q torn letter picked up in a railway coach, according to disclosures made public here by Unit ed States Secret Service men.
 The announcement only said that persons charged with having written threatening letters to the president ar. under arrest iR half dozen cities and that one has confessed. The gov ernment officers have declined b make public the names of persons un- i der arrest.
 Every precaution is taken to keep the names of the prisoners from being known. Secret Service officials ad nit, however, that one of the men un- der arrest lived in town near Jack son, Tenn, and was well known business man there for 30 years. He has been given preliminary hear ing. and held to a federal Grand Jury without bond. The other men are be- ing held for further orders from Wash. ington.
 The ringleader Of the letter writers, who operated independently of each other, is said to be wealthy man from Pickett county, Tennessee. He and two others from town near Knoxville, two from near Nashville asd another in Cookeyille, Tenn, are under arrest All, according to the Secret Service Department, were i'm plicated. The man from Pickett coun- ty was to be sent to Washington early in November, form an alliance with certain others there, and through his political acquGintances, gain an audi ence with the president and assassi- nate him.
 A young daughter of one of the suspected men. living near Jackson, innocently furnished the first clew more than two months ago. when she overheard four men talking at meet ing in her fathers home. She told her aunt that some men were going to kill President Wilson" The child's uncle investigated then reported to the town authorities Memphis Se- cret Service men picked up the miss ing ends by accidentally finding toIn letter left. in train seat
 Putting the pieces of the letter to- gether, officers learned it had been mailed to a man calling for his let ters at the general delivery in Mem phis.
 The signature to the letter was "No. A." It was written at Knox. vile. The officers followed one elew after another until they rounded up the man near Jackson, Tenn, Under severe questioning, he confessed, federal authorities say, and gave the names of the others Their arrests followed immediately.

 W. T. Reynolds, state comptroller. who made an audit of the books of several officials of Ashley county, has flied his report with Circuit Judge Fur ner Butler The audit, which covered period of five years ending July l, 1a7. disclosed the fact that ex-ofiicials of that county are indebted to Ash ley county in the sum of $11,30018. The report completely exonerates for mer Sheriff and Collector Hogan Oli- yer. whofis now state auditor

 Of exhibit C, relating to county beads, MT.

E. Foote, was erased and s75,0 ,000 in- serted in lieu of the 50,000. This was voluntary action on the part of MT. Foote. according to his own statement 10 our auditor. Another peculiar feat ure connected with this bond is that although s75,006 was substituted. still the bond is qualified for only 72.G00. From the above it will be seen that the county has no valid bond on it's treasurer's office"
 MT. Foote's books were well kept and showed efficiency. The audit showed that out of the countys 16 constables only five have taken the trouble to file bond

Nashingten.-Th Liberty loan ap- parently has passed the $5,000600,00O mark.
 A last day drive Of Titanic propor tions throughout the nation netted more than $1.Q00, 0,000.000. and WAS be. iieved to have carried the total sev- eral million dollars beyond the max mum sum treasury officials had hoped for.
 Federal reserve banks were strug. gling under an avalanche of last min ute subscriptions to form some idea of the grand total. Indications are that they will not complete their tab ulations for several days
 At least S.000,000 persons through, out the country wrote their names on application blanks. How many more did so will not be known until the final count, several days hence. The number may go as high as 10,000,000.
 Every district of the F appeared to have passed it's minimum, and indica. tions were that most Of them had eX- ceeded the maximum as we'll.
 An early tabulation of the returns, based upon estimates received from the reserve banks issued by the treas ury, showed total of $4,555 1000, 900. This was admitted to be an underes. innate of the result At the hour the tabulation was made subscribers were standing in line in thousands of cities and towns throughout the coun. try, and most of the 26,000 banks were swamped with unreported subscrip- tious.
 50 confident were officials that the maximum total for the loan had been exceeded that they started their off cial announcement with the declara. tion that subscriptions to the second Liberty loan have passed s5,O00,0 ,0O0,. 000."
 From every district" the state. ment reads. "came the report that it was almost impossible to estimate to- tals, as the subscriptions were pour. ing in so rapidly that 1t was with the greatest difficulty they were even be. ing recorded"
