MINISTER OF WAR, MIFFED,
 QUITS HIS PORT

Paris, March 15-Gen. Louis Ly- antey, who resigned yesterday as min ister of war, apparently was the vic- tim of his ignorance of parliamentary methods. Like most other generals who have been ministers of war in the past, he soon found he was unable to adapt himself to political life. He wished to resign few weeks ago on account of the opposition in parlia- ment his bill requiring that men re- jected as soldiers on account of physi- caly defects be again examined, and providing for the incorporation of priests in fighting units.
 In handing his resignation to Pre- mier Briand Gen. Lyautey said his de- cision was irrevocable. After he left the chamber he went directly to. the war ministry. dispatched pending bus mess and announced his resignation to his staff.
 The premier called on President Poincare at midnight and informed him of the generals resignation.
 The words which aroused anger in the chamber of deputies formed the first part of a written statement pre- pared in advance by the general, the whole of which he was unable to read on account of the tumult What he read was as follows:
 T must admit that at first thought it would be preferable if this debate did not take place. It really did not seem opportune at moment when had just established an organization which answers. in principle at least. 70 ofo "a begin such a discussion, thought, and still think is dangerous but if agreed to it it was because it was most dis tasteful to me to give the appearance of stunning it. I believe there are things which must not be spoken. You will permit me not to follow you into technical questions, because even in secret session my responsible opinion is that it would expose the national defense to risks
 At this point the general was inter- rupted by a tumultuous outbreak. During a brief lull Paul Deschanel, president of the chamber, said: : "It must not be inferred from cer- tain words spoken here that the chamber has not the right to discuss in secret session everything concern ing the national defense"
 Gen. Lyautey did not seem to un- derstands what the trouble was about. He wanted to continue the reading of his speech but the uproar began again, louder than ever. He finally gave up and left the tribune.
 The incident, which Ia described by the parliamentary reporter of the Pe- tit Partisan as one of the most vio- lent he had eker witnessed, was hard ly commented on by most of the

Blame Robber Gang For $2OO Robbery
 In West End Store


 Sometime yesterday morning be- tween g o'clock and noon, a man, be- heved to be one of the band of thieves operating in this city and New Ha- ven, robbed the safe in the periodical store of Gould Turney, 1882 State street, of $200 in bills, while the atten- tion of the clerk Chris Holt, was en- gagged in supplying the wants of other customers.
 Two days ago the safe in the store of the Wentworth Furniture Co, was robbed of a tray of watches valued at $2o0. The robbery reported yesterday Is thought to be the work of the same gang. The money reposed in safe. the doors of which were open.
 The police are inclined. to believe that one of the gang entered the store and asked to look at certain articles. Another immediately followed and slipped into the office where the safe is located, taking the money The clerk did not discover the loss until noon and has not the slightest idea who could have taken the roll

CRUSADE

The appeal of the Council OF Ma

campaign against tuberculosis on ac-
count of the war. calls attention to

1\HE war proper may be said to
have opened on the twenty
fourth Of May, 1861. The en-
gagement was at Bethel
Church, where Gen. Is. F. Butler was
In command. and in western Virginia,
Gen. George b. Mcclellan began to. be
conspicuous figure. In the latter
part Of May General Morris won an
engagement ut Philippi, and OH the
eleventh of July General Mcclellan
gained victory Mt Rich mountain.
On the tenth Of August, General Rose
Grams drove out n detachment Of the
enemy ut Carnifax Ferry. On the
eleventh of June, Col. Lewis Wallace
made successful onset Mt Romney.
These. and other minor engagements
occurred up TO the sixteenth Of July,
when began the first battle of Bull
Run. On that day the Federal army
movsd forward and an important en-
gagement took place between Center
Vile and Bull Run. They pressed for
ward and on the twenty-first day Of
July found the enemy strongly posted
between Bull Run and Manassas juno
ton. General Mcdowell, successful ut
first, was driven back by the re-en-
forcements.
Missouri now became n battlefield
for the contending armies. Captain
Nathaniel Lyon acted promptly ut
Camp Jackson, near st. Louis, and
saved the arms and stores. Later,
General Lyon gained u decided adj
vantage ut Bonneville and on the fifth
Of July the Federal troops under Col.
Franz Sigel were again successful ut
Carthage. On the tenth Of August
the hardest battle fought thus far In
the West occurred Mt Wilson's creek,
where General Lyon was killed. Gen.
John c. Fremont followed the enemy
as fur as Springfield, Ill, and was
there superseded by General Hunter.
The enemy lei strong detachment

w YHEN Lawrence was first
AA/ sacked on May 81, 1856, by
Missourians and proslav-
cry men directed by terri
torial officials, David A. Atchison, at
one time United States senator from
Missouri, figured prominently In the
work OF melting the mob to Its
rash deeds. Atchison had at one time
served as vice president Of the United
States. but during the Kansas trouble
he lowered about the border towns Of
Kansas and Missouri helping greatly
to incite the lower classes Of Mis-
sourians to violence toward the free
state settlers. especially those In Law
renee.
When Sheriff Jones and his allies
came to Lawrence on May 81, 1856, to
nbate the Free State hotel and the two
newspaper offices as nuisances-tech-
nically they were charged with 'con-
structive reason"-Atchison was in
the front ranks, says the Lawrence
Journal-World, and incidentally slight
ly tlpsy. He made a famous speech
that day, to the effect that "By c.,
boys, I'm Kickapoo ranger" and
among other things urged his men to
shoot down women and children II 1t
seemed at all necessary. II Is n mel
nncholy fact that many helpless per-
sons We're slaughtered.
But 1t was not until the work of de-
stroying the Free State hotel COM
menced that Atchison really did him
self justice. The offices OF the Her
aid and Freedom and the Kansas Free
State had already been sacked and de-
molished and then the mob turned
on the Free State hotel. First the
hotel was bombarded with cannon, but
with little success; the shot simply
made holes In the walls, and the
actual work Of destruction was finally
accomplished by blowing the building
up with kegs Of powder and firing 1t
with paper from the newspaper Offices.
Not to be kept out of the public eye,
Atohison insisted ON fring the first
shot at the hotel A small howitzer
was dragged out into the street east
w inc tiiid VtiShby
where the car track now turns east, OF
possibly few yards farther east
and Atchison went about aiming the
gun at the hotel. The howitzer used
was not loaded with the customar,
round cannon ball, but with shel
set In brass jacket-the only on,
of tho kind the company had.
Atchlsou sighted down the gun bar

gun was not properly aimed.
