u. S. Entered War.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Announce-
ment was made here Wednesday OF the
death in this city OF Francis Banner

relics, who believed 50 thoroughly IN
the wal against Germany that he tried
to donate his 81, SOC, 900 stock of mill
tary supplies to Great Britain.
Zimmerman offered his entire stock
to Lord Kitchener at the beginning. OF
the war, but the offer was declined be-
cause, though Of Scotch origin, he was
a naturalized American. Later, by
emitting to state that heswas an Amer

ment for a regiment of soldiers, valued
at 10000. He made another gift of
1000 rifles, with bayonets and other

forbidding the export Of military sup
plies TO the allied nations, He made
several addresses against the proposal,
and to back up his arguments gave
away souvenir pencils made OF cart
ridge shells captured by American SOL
