CERMANSAWED BY LIGHTNING
 ATSTRASBURC

STRASSBURG, Aug. 21 (by maiD It has become known only recently that the huge statue of Germania, which stands in the public square here, commemorating the victory of the Prussians in 1870 and the founda- ton of the empire of the Hohenzol- ferns, was shattered by lightning in August, 1918, when the allied armies were driving the Germans before them all along the western front. The stroke of lightning, now regarded as symbolic of the approaching fate of the German armies, caused conster- nation among the superstitious Ger mans, and their authorities here de- creed that absolute silence be kept regarding it. No one was allowed to see the monument thereafter except workmen who were at once employed to repair it.
 The lightning struck the sword which "Germania" brandishes toward heaven The imperial eagle was damaged and the angel of war, which stands at the foot of the statue, was

HOPELESS HUMAN BEINGS
 WANDER ABOUT POLAND

WARSAW, Aug. IA (Correspon- dence of Associated Press) All through the quiet portions of Poland are to be seen long trains of freight cars filled with the displaced pOpu- lation of the troubled regions. They are the human fotsam from Russia, homeless some of them for years and in many cases hundreds of miles from their homes.
 On the grass and Weed-grOwn sid ings these long trains dot the country side. Scanty and ragged washing flies from the nearby bushes and on improvised stoves or open fires on boxes of sand they cook such meager food as foraging or charity either of the villages or government gives them. Generally they are wretched- ly clothed, the children often being half naked.
 Many of these refugees are trying to get back to their homes in the freed regions, but many more are simply milling" about aimlessly, having long ago abandoned hope. Now and then locomotive will drag them slowly somewhere, so these floating and pitiable people drift about Poland and face the r1gors of nearing winter

LAWYERS AT ODDS in
JUDGE ROSES COURT
Cambridge Lawyers in United States
District Court as The Result o.,
Charges.

AS the result of the bankruptcy
proceedings of Thomas j. McGrath,
of this city, Attorney Leroy L. Wal
lace, of this city, was summoned to
appear before Judge Rose in the
United States District Court on Mon
day of this week, on charges alleging
a breach of professional etiquette,
the charges being preferred by At
torney Lloyd Webster, also of this
city.
The trouble appears to have aris-
en- over the fact that within a short
time after Mr.. Webster had paid for
and had assigned to him mortgage
of $500, held by the Eastern Shove
Land Improvement Company, against
the property of Thomas J. McGrath,
McGrath filed a petition in bank
ruptcy, which held up the foreclos-
ure proceedings. Mr.. Webster al
legged that Mr. Wallace had been
connected with the action of Mr.. Nc
Grath, either in an advisory or other
capacity, and filed the complaint
against him before Judge Rose
Mr. Webster was represented by
Attorney Henry L. Johnson, of this
city, and w. Calvin Chestnut, Of
Baltimore, while Mr.. Wallace was
by Attorney Emerson c..
Harrington, Jr., of this city, and
Howard Bryant, of Baltimore.
After hearing the evidence in the
case, Judge Rose announced that the
charges had not been sustained, and
upon motion of the counsel for Mr..
Wallace, placed the charges upon the

WHY SHEHAN RESIGNS

He Gives Reasons For Quitting as
State Insurance Commissioner.
AT Easton yesterday, w. Mason
Shehan, State Insurance Commission
er, said he would hand his resigna-
ton as an incumbent of that place
to the Board of Public Works in a
few days
Mr.. Shehan said:
For more than year it has been
my desire and purpose to resign as
Insurance Commissioner. l have
found it impossible, under the con-
dition of affairs, to give to the Office
the time that l feel it requires with
out making sacrifices that L am I'M
able to make The very small salary
that the office pays when all of the
expenses of travel, living and other
matters incident to the holding of
such an office are deducted there
from leaves very little to be devoted
to ones personal needs. This neces-
states the following of business pur-
cults outside of this office. 1t seems
almost impossible for a person stu
ated as 1 am to hold an Office of this
kind, and to give to it the time re-
quired, and to make a living outside
of it. This is the principal reason
for my resigning, and l have never
been contented to accept the salary
and give less to the Office than,i ac-
tually requires
Mr. Shehan, when asked if he
would outline some of The things
that have been accomplished while
he has been commissioner, stated
that he felt there were a number of
things that had been done in the
past seven years in aid of insurance
business and tending to place it up
on a higher and better standard. In
the first place, almost the entire In
surance Code of Laws mad been re-
formed and rewritten along lines,
while measurably conservative, at
the same time in keeping with ad-
vanced thought and present-day reg
ulations. This was not done at one
time, but through the various ses-
sions of the legislature since he has
been commissioner. The investiga-
ton of Industrial Insurance Compa-
MES in the State has been consider
able, and its reformation has been
almost complete. The situation was
most deplorable one in the begin
ming. This condition was well known
20 Governor Harrington, who was
Mr.. Shahan's predecessor, and it was
one CT the first things to which he
called Mr.. Shehan's attention.

 and Killed.

Berlin, March 9.--A story of whole sale cold-blooded murders, including the shooting of some sixty detectives by the Spartacan forces, was told' to- day under oath by government sol dier who had been captured by the insurgents, but managed to escape.

 While this was going on band of Spartacans brought in sixty detec- tives who had been captured in the attack on the Lichtenberg police sta- tion.

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
 FOR LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
Suggests, However, Preservation of Monroe Doctrine and Enlargement
 of Voting Power of the U. S.

Washington, Mrch 11.-William Jennings Bryan issued a statement here tonight indorsing the league of nations, but suggesting amendments to the proposed constitution which, among other things would preserve specifically the Monroe Doctrine, en- large the proportionate voting power of the United States and make it clear that each member nation might de- eide for itself whether it would sup port decrees of the leagues general council.
 While pointing to imperfections, Mir. Bryan urged that they should not be allowed to lead to rejection of the plan, declaring that risks to be run in accepting the league were less than those involved in rejection and return ing "to the old ways of blood and slaughter" MT. Bryan dictated the statement fro minis sick bed at the home of friends, where he has been confined for nearly three weeks.
 He said the league of nations idea, "the greatest step toward peace in a thousand years," was taken from the thirty arbitration treaties negotiated by the United States while he was secretary of state. It was not expect ed. he said, that 50 great an idea would be made perfect in detail in so short time and added that while President Wilson "had done the best he could,' he would be helped by in telligent and friendly criticism from the American public.
