He handed me a long envelope and
with a bow asked to he shown to the
door. Jed. not s%uspecting that the
little man had any connection with the
sailor, showed him out.
I went to my room to examine the
paper which had been left with me.

statement frst.
"Memoranda for DR.. Nicholson:
The accompanying typewriter sheet
1s a part Of a document stolen from
MI. Sidney in Montevideo ten years
ago by Alexandra Dravada. then a
servant in the capacity of porter. ORA
vada preserves the original, of which
I have had several typewriter copies
made. Dravada had the complete doc
ument in his hands. but only for a
short while. he had discovered. in
the course of several years service
under Mr.. Sidney in Montevideo, that
Z strong box in Mr.. Sidney's room
was particularly guarded. He sup
posed it contained jewels. He is, I
should Judge, q person of small moral
character and great cupidity. He de-
termined to steal the box. hoping. that
its contents would enable him to get
married and set himself uppin a small
business.
ssHe succeeded in getting the box,
by entering Mr.. Sidney's room, but be-
fore he could make his escape he was
unfortunate enough to be discovered
BY another servant, known to you as
Jed. Jed leveled a revolver at my
client and made him surrender the
box. 4,

iuently this case. has caused me to
conjecture; but I think that the man
Jed, although he knew something val
liable was contained in the box,
thought, as did my Spanish client, that
1t was personal property and. unlike
my client, he was not careless of prop
erty rights. This conjecture may not
interest you. but I imagine you ask
ing: why did. not Jed steal the box
be afterward took from my client?'
It was, I think, because the man Jed
was by nature honest. and it was only
when his inhibttions had been broken
down by the sight Of another man COM
hitting a crime which had been easier
for him to commit. that he lost control
Df his morals.

from dirt, mold and mustiness. If
ground feeds get wet they are likely
to mold. This is especially true of cot
tonseed meal and ground corn. They
should not be fed if in bad condition.
Z. Do not waste time in feeding the
calf. To waste time in feeding or pre-
pairing feeds needlessly increases the
cost of grains. Grain should be fed
whole except when teaching the calf
to eat and possibly also ear the end
Of the fitting or finishing period. Whole
grain as q rule is more palatable than
ground feeds. Ear corn may be
Ehelled, broken or chopped up in the
feed box rather than ground. Husks
on snapped corr need not be removed
for this purpose. 1t rarely pays to
shred stOver or to cut or chaff hay for
the calf. 1t need not be fed three
times a day when twice a day will do
as well, although the former may be
practiced when fitting the animal for
show or sale. Do not go to the ex-
pense of buying prepared "stock feeds"
or remedies" Home-mixed feeds r

Tourists Svarn Uerdun, Scene
Of Wars Epic Combat, Where
Battle Chambers Are Gazing In

Belgium. England and parts of
France.
Inasmuch as the verdun front is
changing its character fast and also
on account of the fact that the army
Ia likely to step in at any time and
say certain points are again to be-
come military secrets. every visitor
feels he must go to Verdun this
year.
The city Is rebuilding much fast
er than most places destroyed as a
result of this influx of visitors. But
to one who knew Verdun in it's great
days, and who often slept in It's
citadel when there was no Other
safe place, it was something OF q
shock to face a long line of souve-
and collection of guides. !.
seems Like sacriIege.
To me it seemed something like
sacrilege to watch brass medals
sold in the citadel of yerdun-in q
long mess-hall where officers had
staggered in, wet, covered with
mud and exhausted TO snatch a
hasty meal and then take a few
hours sleep while shells pounded
harmlessly on the hundred feet of
solid earth and rock above their
heads-then back to shell pits again.
For be IT remembered that on this
battlefield of a million dead" there
were no trenches.
The trenches we see today were
built toward the end of the war as
second and third lines of defense.
In the great days there were neith-
er trenches, nor roads, even paths.
There was nothing but a desolate
waste of shell pits with the edges
often overlapping and where the
soldiers advanced crawling to at
tack. We went out to Douamont
this afternoon in automobiles. A
quarter of a mile distant we got out.
1t still is necessary to walk that
last quarter of a mile into Fortress
Douamont. There were more tour
lists in plain view than the entire
garrison that kept concealed in the
underground galleries during these
days of October when Douamont
again became French.
Yet over Douamont the war at
mosphere still hangs. 1t was a grey
day. There are no trees, not even
stumps, not even a bush. In year
or so only the great monuments
now being erected will aid one TO
reconstruct the past. Even weeds
hide scars and there are weeds ey-
.erywhere. and among them golden
irod, daisies and a million blazing
poppies.

Verdun. July at,-A portion Of
Fort Douamont has just been CLOSED
to tourists on account of the danger
OF CAVERN. An accident there a few
days ago resulted in the imprison-
ment of several soldiers in one Of
the underground galleries for sew
eral hours. A party of American
visitors narrowly escaped being cut
on by the earth barricade, A few
days ago the entire fort was lust
closed by orders of the government.
but today tourists are again per
mitted IN the main Underground

lower galleries as far as the fa-
nous post of the commandment" /"

ground where the epic combat of
the entire war was directed
The galleries which were the
scene of gas and liquid fire attack 8

man occupation and through the
top of which the French finally ex-
ploded heavy shells that resulted in
the German retreat are now sealed
with, concrete and are not to he re-
opened until the army takes over
the reconstruction of the fortress.
Despite the fact that il is natural
for Americans to first visit the old
battle line, Chateau Thierry usually
being the FIRST stopping place, Yer
dun remains the mecca of all pil-
grimages, with Fort Douamont as
the central shrine.
Complete Trip In Day.
There has been considerable conn
plant among the Americans that
until now tourist bureaus have been
unable to arrange a Verdun tour
except at prohibitive price and also
1t has been deemed impossible to do
II in a single day, which is as much
time as any American seems TO have
for single sector. A new French
bureau now organized gives a com
plete circle of the Verdun front
from Paris and return, in one day.
This trip involves a train ride from
Paris to Verdun city and by auto
mobile for the remainder of the trim.
The entire trip costs about SIS. The
bureau reserves seats in trains and
dining cars and has guides with
each automobile speaking English.
AS a result the hills around Yer
dun are now literally black with
thousands of visitors, a majority of
whom are Americans although great
numbers are coming from Italy,

of the telephone calls have been

others to the Bronx.
Once a ferret faced young man

Esperanto Boom Launched.

Esperan'o again is being pusl ed
70. =. dru - the only solut.sn OF the
foreign language problem. Your
correspondent called this morning
at the Bahai library in Madison av-
enue where the faithful followers
of the Universal language were
holding their thirteenth annual
conference. Esperanto was created
by the Russian linguist, DIR. l.. l..
Zamonhoff thirty-eight years ago.
Edward S. Payson, of Boston, is
resident of the Esperanto Associa-
tion of North America. He said:
I'VE don't really need il in Amer
ica as they do in Europe. Most Of
US think that our own language is
better than any other ever invented.
But in international gatherings we
are rather at loss for words
Had Esperanto been generally ac-
Cepted, most of the difficulties Of
the peace conference would have
been obviated."
What the Esperanto fanatic fails
to admit Is that there is a universal
language at the present time. ANY
one who has Travelled knows that a
person speaking French can get on
famously anywhere. French is an
actuality while Esperanto is a
dream tongue-even If the Soviet
government of Russia thirty days
ago did make IL compulsory In the
public schools of that strife-ridden
land.
