TALE OF SUPREME DEVOTION
Simple Explanation Of Reason Why
Romance Of AbeIard and HeIoise
g Will Never Die.

Romance never dies, for lovers are
born each springtime and the heart
of the world is always young.
And so it is that to the modern thun-
der of the guns bombardfng scissors
Is set the tune of an old, old romance
that has spun like a gold-and-scarlet
thread through eight changeful CEN
turtles, spun and spun, and lost none
Of its color, none of its appeal. And
the story winds about the town Of
Scissors and ends in q crumbling old
tower dropping to its last decay.
And the romance was the tragedy
Of Abelard and Heloise, lovers who
have typifed the passion Of devotion
to all the lovers of the universe. The
story itself was not uncommon-the
love Of teacher for his beautiful pu-
pill, her winning and her undoing. The
tale Of Faust has the same harsh note
of betrayal. But it is the supreme de-
votion Of Abelard and Heloise that
make them types; that, and the setting
OF the romance which ran through
Paris and other towns, and drew to
g close in the, tower where Abelard
was a prisoner Of those prosecutors
who held his writings to be seditious.
His marriage to Heloise, his renunci-
alton of her, and the final taking, by
both Of them, Of the vows that sent her
to nunnery and him to q monastery,
all of this availed him nothing. There
in the town Of scissors, lighted now
by the blaze Of bursting shells, he was
compelled to burn. with his own hand
his book in which was set forth the
'heresy" of which he was accused.
What a contrast between the feeble
light of that burning manuscript and
the flare Of the battle we are waging
fol the liberties Of the world!
And yet the burning of that book
was q momentous event at the Sois-
sons council of ecclesiastics.
But Abelard had been a great teach
er, and all the country had throbbed
and thrilled with the serial story Of
his romance with the beautiful He
loise. And so, in the later years trav-
elers have turned aside from the beat
en- tracks and sought the old tower on
the outskirts of the French town for
a glimpse Of the prison where he Ian
gufshed. The steps were worn in
grooves by the thousands Of feet that
went as on pilgrimage to the shrine
Of perfect love.
There today the guns roar and
the shells take their screaming
fight-there at Scissors under
the curtain Of smoke and the hail of
lead there spins on and on the gold
and-scarlet thread of the romance that
never dies.-Memphis Commercial APP

ter who are all artists, and they believe
that If Mr. Statesman comes here as
tbandmaster, the rest Of the family will
undoubtedly make their home here. Mr..
Schliesman is also at the head Of five
dance orchestras which are on the road
and which would probably make their
headquarters here.
According to the proposition Of Prof.
Schliesman, the band would cost the
city about $1,000 the first year. This
would 60 to pay his salary, the players
for concerts and rehearsals; to buy in
struments that would be needed and
music. Prof. Schliesman asks salary
Of 81 200 a year for his services.
According to law the city can appro-
pirate only $3.50 to a fund Of this kind.
There is about $500 left in the fund as
a surplus oyer the amount used last
year, making almost 1000 which could
be used the first year. MI. Olson stat
ed that the Board Of Commerce would
take up the matter Of raising the
amount necessary to- start the band
over what the council could appropri-
ate.
AS the general opinion of the coun-
Gil and business men was to grasp the
opportunity Of securing the services Of
Prof. Schliesman, who will sign two
year contract, the suggestion was made
20 have our representatives in the leg
islature present an amendment to the
law governing the amount Of money al
lowed to be donated for purposes Of
this kind, so that larger amount can
be appropriated. -

ton that City Attorney D. M. Gamer

UNCLE SANS DEBT
NOW $24,s24,345,0o0

Washington, May 3.--Public debt
Of the United States government
was reported today by the treasury
as $24,824, ,345.000.
Most of thissscprtseRts Liberty
bonds of the first. second, third and
fourth issues, the Victory Liberty
loan NOT being included to any great
extent. No deduction is made for
the $8,852,000,000 loaned to foreign
governments. Consequently the net
debt would be approximately $l6,-
0O0,000,000.
The treasury plans to issue other
bonds this year and next year to
meet the fag ends of war expenses,
but in the aggregate these are not
expected to amount to more than
$5000,000,000, so that the gross pub
lie debt of the United States is ex-
pected by officials to be in the
neighborhood Of $4,000, 100000
when the period OF war financing
ends.
The treasury now has working
balance of $l,052,0O000O. and it
holds $2,568. 100000 in gold. Silver
dollars in the treasury have been
redvced to $22o,7ll00O by melting
down of approximately $500, 100000
of silver dollars for export to In

Allies Charged With
Trucking to Japan
in Chinese Statement

The attitude of the council OF
three regarding Fiume is compared
by the Chinese delegation in its.
statement with the reported solution
of the Shantung problem by which
Japan is to get the former German
rights there and later is to hand
over the territory to China.
The Chinese statement says it is
intimated that the decision favora-
Bile to Japan was made in order to
save the league of nations. It's also
pointed out in the statement that
there was secret agreement be-
tween the allies to support Iapan's
claims of which China had no knowl
edge.
