TAKE LOOT FROM HUN
Four Billion Dollars Worth Cap
tured by British.
Immense Amount Of Stolen Praperty
Left Behind In Hurried Ger
man Retreat.

Namur, France.-Four billion dol
lars is the most conservative estimate
of the value of the war loot captured
from the German army by the Brit.
ish because of the haste of the Hun
retreat.
Eight hundred barge loads, each car
rying 800 tons, and 10000 trucks held
part of the treasure.
Some Of the loads were coming to
| supply the German army. Some were
cargOes taken from the allies and load
ed for shipment to Germany. But the
latter was the least part. One barge
carried 400 tons of iron bolts
In one small area was seized 10000
tons of chicory, 100000 candles, LOO
tons Of soda, 200 dynamos, 1000 farm
implements, 5000 shovels and pick
axes.
In one sale of loot 10000 stoves have
been disposed of, mostly to Belgians
and French.
A cargo Of rags was bid up to $3.50
a ton before the auctioneer discovered
what the bidders already had learned
that the rags covered q store Of
copper.
Here is Just partial list Of the arti-
cles seized and now being sold by the
dispOsing board: Brooms, buckets,
trench mirrors, dried tripe, toilet pa
per, water bottles, hammers, lamps,
pumps, blunderbuses, carbide, beds,
spring mattresses, mousetraps, bells,
rotary pumps, wheelbarrows, harness,
netting (by the 1000 yards),

CARRY SILVER SAFELY
Trains Cross Continent Without
Loss Of an Ounce.
Mint Director Revealed How Wartime
Shipments to india Were
Handled.

WashIngtOn.-Now that the govern
ment has completed its wartime ship
ments to India Of silver from melted
dollars, Director Of the Mint Baker
has disclosed how thousands OF tons
OF the metal were hauled from the
Philadelphia mint to San Francisco In
special trains, guarded by armed men,
without loss Of an ounce and without
general knowledge of the procedure.
Eighteen of these treasure trains
made the trip across the continent In
the IL months ending last April %,
with the silver like big bricks piled
high In each Of the five express cars
composing special train.
Two men with automatic pistols at
their hips and sawed-Off shotguns on
their laps sat in each car, and later
guarded the secret transfer Of the
white bars from train to ship ut San
Francisco.
Each silver brick weighed about so
pounds and was worth $1,000 and each
train carried between 100000 and
100000 Of the bricks. Wrecking
of the trains and theft of the metal
by bandits was considered an ever
present menace to be guarded against.
Guarded shipments Of silver dollars
also were made from the United States
treasury in Washington and from
the New Orleans subtreasury In Phila-
delphla. These dollars travelled In
stout bags of 1000 each and were
handled much like bags OF sugar, ex-
cept that armed men always were
near. M
More than 285.O00O 900 silver dollars
were melted and shipped to India dur
Ing the year, to meet urgent war de-
mands for coinage.

JOkers Kidnap Bride
on Wedding Night

Bridgeport, Conn. = Charles
Brownell of this town was the
victim of an Impractical" joke,
in his opinion, when friends of
the young man kidnapped his
bride following the ceremony,
took her to the home of one of
the young women conspirators
and held her prisoner until the
following morning.
Shortly after the wedding
cake had been cut an auto drew
up in front of the door and the
appearance of the bride was the
signal for action by the kidnap-
ers. She was hurried into the
machine, which sped away at
full speed. Not until the next
morning was she returned to the
disgruntled husband, who adj
mits he failed to see the Joke.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO
LEAD IN HANDLING LANDS

AsheviIle, N. c., June S.-The sec.
ond of series of regional conferen.
ces planned to consider the specia
conditions throughout the country
which must be studied to form a
broad national policy of forest con.
servation was held here today. For
est problems of Kentucky, North Car
DINA and Tennessee were discussed
by the representatives of these
states and of the Forest Service Of
of the U. S. Department of Agricul-
tufe.
1t was the sense of the men in at
tendance that the Federal govern
ment should take the leadership in
| bringing about through cooperation
and assistance to the states such
measures as may be necessary for
the adequate protection of private
timber lands and their renewal after
cutting the timber.
Wood using industries of this
country are facing the very serious
problem of getting adequate supplies
necessary for their continuance,
said Col Henry S. Graves, chief of
the Forest Service, who presided.
"The time is at hand for us to
face this situation. 1t cannot be ig- ]
nored any longer. Present methods
of operation of private lands fail to
replace the timebr growth on an
area once it is cut over, with new
growth of potential value for the in +.
dustries. At the present time we \
are using the original and virgin sup 4
plies with no thought for the future. 4
The problem of forest protection and 4
forest perpetuation are big and we y
are in no way meeting them"
"More than one-tenth of the whole
population of this country is Deepen
lent on forest products in one form
II another for their industrial ex- y
stenee.o f
"The situation can be adequately y
net only by the proper handling of
timber lands in private ownership. :
About 80 per cent of the total con- "
of wood in its various il
orms comes from private timber t,

wind Of timber. The new movement
in forestry has as its object the main
tenance of a permanent forest grow
tn Of all lands not suited for other
purposes"
This can be done along two gem
eral lines: First, by the extension
of the public forests, Federal, state
and municipal; and second, by bring
ing about the growth Of timber on
private timber lands by public direc-
ton and cooperation. To accomplish
these results it is necessary that
there be united action by the FEEDER
al government and the several states.

DOES NOT AGREE.
WITH Mr.. SMITH

To the. Editor Of The IntelliGencer:
Strive would like 10 take eNpection
TO some Of the statements in the ar
ticle. THE Wheat Guarantee" in Mon
days edition.
We take it that 1t was put out by
the Liberty Loan committee and not
by the editor as inferred by Mr.. Smith
Of Claysvillc.
In taking exceptions to some OF the
statements in the article We DO not
want to be understood as being OPP
posed to taking bonds OF the ruin
issue, for we oil know the necessity Oh
another bond issue.
First, the guaranteed price. Did not
Uncle Sam guarantee the manufacturers
a certain price for their products: He
did and no complaint made about H.
why all this discussion when It comes
10 fulfilling hi sagreemcnt with the
farmers?
Second. in every Liberty loan 10 date
the farmer failed to carry his share OF
the load. Probably In the first and sec
ond, hc did not because the rural con
munities were not canrasscd in the
third and fourth. l think he took his
share. Furthermore the farmer does not
consider II IL burden To buy Liberty
bonds, but a good investment, while his
city brother, who Is accustomed 10
double this income from his investment
does consider it burden.
Third. he would be doing we'll If he
received $3.50 per bushel for his wheat.
According 10 careful estimates made
this would not pay tch cost of pro-
ducinE it. Costs plus fair profit was
allowed all manufacturers. Why object
to giving it to the farmer:
Lastly. suggestion. that this com
nittee needs. what almost every other
war committee from the greatest to the
least lacked Il representative OF the
food producers on il to make L plce IN
the farmers that would bring better
results than the one referred to in your
Mondays edition.
We fell that Mr. Smith OF Claysyil;a
Pa, should have investigated little
farther before he criticized the Intel
liGenccr's attitude toward the farmer
for VIC feel that il has always been far:
,u us and Is always reudy TO help cult.

exist between the city people and inc

Wheeling this week. was a unique oc-
casion. and one worthy Of more than
mere passing notice. Probably in the
history Of Wheeling. a larger and moro
representative body of high class busi-
ness and professional men. was never
gathered within the city limits. Rotary
Is the ono national organization that is
distinctly actuated by no personal or
selfish motive This does not mean. OF
course, that there arr no Rotarians. who
are not both individualislc and selfish.
but the spirit Of the organization Is the
highest idealism, the ideal Of service
to humanity.
Rotary has no creed: It has no def
mite object having to do with benefits to
Members with national policies, or re-
lisious beliefs. 1t has no qualifications
for membership, except Of q limited
character Ita purposes and objects car
hardly be defined in words It Is rather
spirit: an atmosphere; line OF
thought: a. quality Of suggestion. which
finally seeks to make Of the member
ship, better and more useful citizens: tc
instn into their mind a higher sense al
civic responsibility: to inocnRte the
doctrine of human fraternity. and to in.
spfre to definite and useful action.
The range Of Rotary is wide as the
interests Of men. There Is mo subject
having to do with the welfare Of mer
and women; with the good Of a COM
munity, which Rotary may not con-
slider. and as to which it, may not ash
its members to act. The. spiendid WORK
Of this organization, not only locally,
but practically all overtthe world. is an
inspiring evidence Of "a new thought
coming into the world. 1t is impos'
sible to conceive Of limitations to the
useful service which such an organiza:
ton may perform. Rotary is ALREADY
as wide as the broad American eontl'
nent. It Is rapidly spreading into
every country in which thouShtful mer
give a little time to the consideration OF
community problems. In sthe not dist
ant future, 1t will be worldwide. and
