streets sides demolished, but the con-
cussion spent its force within the
banks Offices, where the bronze cages
for the clerks, the marble counters and
part of the colored glass dome were
damaged. The Assay and the Sub
Treasury buildings suffered only ex-
ternal injury, one Of the iron slugs,
which were sprayed over the neighbor-
hood, having knocked off piece Of the
cornice Of the Assay Building. The
weatherstained " front of the Sub
Treasury was spotted with hicks where
1t had been hit by the iron bolts.
An indication that scores were hurt,
Of whom no record was kept, was
shown by the work Of the medical staff
Of the Reserve Bank in the Equitable
Building. Five nurses and two doctors,
who were on duty on the fourth floor
Of the Equitable Building, dressed the
wounds of more than thirty men and
women who had been cut by broken
window glass. No record of the names
was kept. The wounded were mostly
clerks and stenographers who had run
out Of other buildings and were found
in the street.

Billion izs Gold Near
Scene of the Explosion

II the Wall Street explosion
was q radical plot against capi-
tai, it struck at the heart of
things. Within a short stones
throw of the blast was stored per-
haps a billion dollars in gold
probably the greatest accumula-
ton of this precious metal any,
where in the world to-day. At
least $9o0,00O,o0O was the esti-
mated value Of gpad in the United
States Assay Office, and possibly
another $15o,000,oo0 reposed in
the United States Sub Treasury,
next door.

or greatly restricted. Many of the
banks in the vicinity Of the Morgan
Offices and the new Assay Office and
Sub-Treasury across the street were so
badly damaged that only business of
the most urgent character could be
transacted. Among these were the
Bankers Trust Company, the Equitable
Trust Company, the United States Trust
Company, the Bank Of Manhattan, the
Foreign Trade Banking Corporation,
the Bank Of the Americas and the Bank
Of Cuba.
The Federal Reserve Bank, more
than block away from the scene of
the disaster, closed its doors shortly
after the noon hour and dismissed its
employees for the rest Of the day.

Lord Grey's Position.
Liberal thought in the United
Kingdom, while convinced that the
treaty of peace is in part unwork-
able and in part needlessly de-
structive to the enemy countries,
has in no wise relinquished the
feelings of sympathy with. and 10y
atty to. France and Italy. At the
same time, appreciation of the diff
fculties of visualizing at the dis
tance of America the problems that
have arisen out of the war is main
tained. Liberal opinion here Is
deeply chagrined at the present
pass of Anglo-American official re-
lations.
Without in the least desiring to
Question the reasons that led to the
seolusion Of the President during the
period of Earl Gray's stay in Wash
ington. everyone regrets profoundly
that the British Ambassador could
not have been received, because
Gray was sent to Washington as
the most distinguished liberal and
the most unequivocal supporter of
the League of Nations in the Unit
ed Kingdom. Liberal opinion in
dignantly rejects the suggestion
advanced from certain quarters
that Gray was sent to the United
States in order that the Prince of
Wales might be fittingly received
by a worthy Ambassador. At the
same time, the letter of the re-
Ambassador is viewed with
mixed sensations.
Naturally it is regarded as most
important that effective and SYM
pathetic Relations be rc-estabii~ ..
And from this standpoint liberal
opinion is appalled, to see the .iI..ie
Minister jettison Geddes into Wash
ington in order to improve his po-
litical position At home.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
TEA FOR THREE oA AUG. Il

theatrical event for which patrons of the theatre have been looking forward to for some time with impatience is an nounced for the Davis theatre on Wednes- day evening, Aug 11th. It is the forth coming engagement of Tea for Three, Roi Cooper Megrue's sterling comedy hit, which is presented under the management of The SelWyns.
 The cast, which is of super excellence, is headed by Bert Leigh. The comedy will be seen here exactly as it was pre- sented at Maxine Elliott's theatre New York where it ran for one entire year.
 Tea for Three is a brilliant bit of writ ing. Critics have declared it the ebest thing of it's kind to come from the pen of an American playwright. Moreover, it is one of the most dramatic stories ever teld on the stage.
 The strongest proof of the excellence of the attraction booked for the Davis is the fact that since it was first offered to the public if ha sbeen seen by more people than any other play of similar character And the first unfayorable criticism has yet to be uttered of it.
 To tell the story of Tea for Three would be to deprive theatregoers of some of the pleasure in store for them. Suffice to say it is intensely interesting, highly dramatic and withai so thoroughly human slice out of real life.
 Seat sale opens today at 10 a. n. Prices 56c to S2 plus war tax.

The centennial anniversary was celebrated in grand style and has passed into history as Stonington's greatest eele- bration.
