WILL SELL PERSONAL
PROPERTY OF SCULPTOR

Atlanta, Ga, June 19.-The person
al belongings left behind at Stone
Mountain by Gutzon Borglun, the
famous sculptor who has been much
in the public eye in connection with
the aircraft production investigation
in Washington, are scheduled to be
sold at public outcry by justice of
the peace on June % to satisfy a
claim against the sculptor by Clar-
ence G. Baxter, formerly his secre-
tary, who claims that Borglum owes
him $500 for services rendered.
1t will be recalled that Borglum
was engaged as the sculptor in charge
of the great project of converting the
precipitous side of Stone Mountain
into a mammoth monument to the
Southern Confederacy. He came here
and spent several months. After
outlining the project in all its details
and arousing tremendous interest, he
built studio on the level facing the
mountain, from which he planned to
direct the work of the stone cutters
suspended from the mountains top
by steel cables. When the war came
on the project was dropped because
it was deemed an inauspicious time
to raise the fund necessary to finance
the work, and Borglum left here and
returned to New York. The Stone
Mountain Memorial Association,
however, is holding the project in
allegiance pending the return of peace.
Meanwhile, Borglum has got him
self into the very vortex of the air
craft investigation in Washington
by charging that there was graft mis-
management and waste in the hand
ling of the vast appropriation passed
up by Congress for the construction
of battle planes.

In nearly every large city the Fed
eral Board of Vocational Training.
Training, through local school au-
thorities, has established schools of
radio communication where men of
draft age who have not been called
may receive preliminary course in
the operation of radio and buzzer in
struments. There are about 800 of
these schools where instruction is
given, usually in the afternoons and
evenings 1t takes about 200 hours
for student of average ability to
obtain a speed of 20 words a minute,
sending and receiving. Further in
formation regarding these schools
may be secured from local school au-
thorities.
Electrical engineers and men with
good fundamental training in engi-
ncering or physics are particularly
in demand for Signal Corps work
Men OF satisfactory qualifications are
given three months training in spec
ial schools, and have every opportu-
nifty to take examinations leading to
promotion.
Men who have had experience as
electrical repair men, wiremen and
mechanics are also desired for as
signment to special schools and later
to field organizations.
Colored Registrants
to Be Given
Technical Training
Nearly $4,000 Negro soldiers are
now in the national army. Of these
900 are line officers holding commits
sions of captain and first and second
lieutenants. There are about ESQ col
ored officers in the Medical and Den
tai Reserve Corps.
The Army now includes two divis-
ions of colored troops, which when
fully constituted will include prac-
tically all branches of the service; In
fantry, Engineer, Artillery, Signal
Corps, Medical Corps, and service
battalions with men technically train
ed in all branches of scientific work.
There are now openings in the
Veterinary Corps for Negroes skill
ed in Veterinary and agricultural
work Arrangements have been COM
pleted to send Negroes registered but
not yet called to schools and colleges
this summer for training in radio en-
gineering, electrical engineering, auto
mechanics, blacksmithing, and the op-
Grafton of motor vehicles.
Next to the aggregate number of
subscribers, perhaps the most striking
feature of the third Liberty loan was
the support given it by the farming
and rural populations of the country,
according to a statement by the
Treasury Department. Not only did
the farmers purchase literally of the
bonds, but the rural communities as a
rule were more prompt in completing
their quotas of the loan than the
larger cities. More than 10000 COM
munities in the United States sub
scribcd their quotas, many of them
on the first day of the campaign. The
majority OF these were not cities, but
country districts.

ADVANTAGE OF GOLD RESERVE.

| The National City Bank of New York sounds
a note of warning in relation to the value anc
use of the great gold reserve which is steadily
growing in the vaults of the federal reserve
banks. The amendments to the reserve act
adopted last year were for the purpose OF aid
ing in this accumulation Of gold, and they were
generally supported on the ground that larger
reserves would strengthen the system against
emergency demands and inspire confidence IN
Its stability. The amendments met general
approval for this reason.
1t will be a mistake however, to assume that
with all of the gold of the country gathered
into the reserve banks it will be just as safe
to run up the liabilities until the reserve is
down to forty per cent? as it would have been
with the member banks still holding important
amounts, as before. The eggs are being gath
cred into one basket and the basket should be
guarded with great care.
The main advantage in gathering together
a great gold reserve in these banks OF issue
lis in the power which is thus created to protect
all of the local banks of the country against
anv possible alarm among their deposltors.
Gold in the possession Of the reserve banks
gains one hundred and fifty per cent. IN ef-
ficiency by reason Of the note-issung powers
of these banks, not to speak OF the advantage
derived from having the reserves concentrated
in practically one store.
This is the great purpose gained by the con
centration of gold in the reserve banks. 1t
gives security to the banks In their relations
with depositors, and although that by no means
was the only object in forming the reserve sys-
TEN it was the first object.
1t cannot properly be said of these gold
holdings that such or such a percentage IS
sufficient to maintain the notes at par, as
though this was the only consideration. There
are two other considerations: First. to main
tain the reserve capacity to issue at any time
great quantities of notes to support the mem
Der banks against calls upon them by deposl-
tors, their own reserves being now uniInportant;
and, second, it is the duty of the reserve banks
to guard the country against imitation.

TODAYS BIT OF VERSE


TO ONE WHO COMES NOW AND THEN.
When you come in, it seems a brighter fire
Crackles upon the hearth invitngly;
The household routine, which was wont to tire,
Grows full of novelty.
You sit upon home-upholstered chair
And talk of matters wonderful and strange,
OF books and travel, customs old which dare
The. gods of time to change.
Till we with inner word care refute,
Laughing that this our boSoms yet assalls,
While there are maidens dancing to flute
In Andelusian wales.
And sometimes from my shelf of poems you take
And secret meanings to our hearts disclose
AS when the winds of June the midbush shake
We see the hidden rose
And when the shadows muster, and each tree
A moment hutte-s. fuli of shutting wings
You take the fiddle and mysteriously
Wake wonders the strings.
And in my garden gray with mist-fowers,
Low echoes fainter than beetle horn
Fill all corners with it, like sweet showers
OF bells in the OWLS morn.
Come often, friend. With welcome and surprise
Come when you like and from whatever skies
Above you smile Or frown.
Francis Ledwidge, in the Century.

other metals.

We recovered S350,000 in Spanish
gold from the Alphonso XII some
years ago. She was lying 165 feet
under the sea. We also recovered a
large quantity of silver bars from
the steamer Skyro off Cape Finisterre
in 1876 feet of water. This shows
what can be done after the war"
Owing to the scarcity of tonnage
after the war, every ship that can
float will be worth fortune. The
salvage companies expect to raise
many of the lesser damaged vessels
with little trouble and put them into
commission shortly after the war is
ended.

An even deadlier phrase was Peace
without victory which sowed the
seeds of disintegration not only in
Russia, but in the peoples of its
allies. These unfortunate platitudes
may well be forgotten in the later
utterances of the president when in
felicitous language he held up to the
American people the great ideal OF
Justice. Thus, in his great speech to
congress of last December, President
Wilson nobly summarized the whole
situation.
"These were noble utterances,
voicing the true spirit of the best
American sentiment, and admirably
served to defeat the latent spirit OF
false pacifism, which Is our chief

formula is valuable that does not
square with the realities of the pres

the people Thus many phrases now
in use, such as the freedom OF the
seas and the right of self-deflnition'
of peoples, are unfortunate because
they do not represent realities. Tho
freedom Of the seas so called, means
the right of a-heutral, immune from
search, seizure. or capture. to sell
goods to belligerent. This right we
challenged in our own civil war, and
If we had not denied the freedom OF
the seas the civil war would have
been prolonged and the cause of the
union possibly defeated. We are
denying now the right of neutral ma
lions to ship goods to Germany, and
thus our assertion Of the freedom OF
the seas not only wounds a faithful
ally, but is contrary to our present
and past policies. We do not pro-
pose that neutral nations shall for
gain sustain Germany and thus by
prolonging the war make greater sac
rifice of our lives and treasure"
