SPIRIT OF SPARTANS
Is TRACED TO DRUIDS
Frenchman Says Bravery Of
Gaul Tribes Was Instilled
by Priests.

Special Correspondence TO THE New YORK
HERALD.
PARIS. Nov. 3.--Druid priests who in
the olden days carried out mystic rites
by slaughtering their devotees and
burning them on affairs erected in the
heart Of some primeval forest have been
misunderstood. Instead OF controlling
merely the religious life of their fol-
lowers they were responsible for the
fighting qualities Of the early tribes of
Gaul and later spread their Influence to
Greece. where Druid training develored
the martial spirit of the Spartan SOL
diers.
This is the conclusion reached by NJ.
Solomon Reinach, who In an exhaustive
communication presented to the French
Academy Of Inscriptions gives the result
of several years delving into the folk
lcre OF Greece and the country that to-
day Is France. 1t was only recently that
NJ Reinach discovered manuscript
written by a Greek historian, born In
Sparta. revealing that the Spartans
had modelled their military training on
the system In vogue among the tribes
of iberia, located somewhere between
Egypt and the Indies. and which had
been visited by an imaginative tourist
known as Lycurgus
The latter's description of the coun-
try convinces M. Reinach that the ex-
nlorer must have landed on the south
ern coast of France. and that the iberia
OF which he wrote was not the Spanish
iberia which later adventures de-
scribed as n land lacking martial feel
irgs but filled with drinkers and high
way robbers.
According to NJ. Reinach's ancient in
former, Lycurgus visited the Druid
riests In their mountain caves and for
est haunts and found them busy train
Ing the natives OF Gaul to preserve their
country against its enemies. teaching
children to perform their tasks and later
instructing them In the arts and sciences
Of their time. Lycurgus apparently re-
ceived some good tips from the forest
priests Of his Iberian Gaul. for II was
some years after his return TO Greece
that the valor Of the Spartan youths
first began to make Its appearance.

While New York apartment houses,
according TO reports received here, are
short of coal French shipping officials
here admit that the harbor at Hayre
Is temporarily blocked by score Of
ships laden with coal from the United
States, the shipments apparently, being
a part !of the coal contracted for by the
French Government when the prospect
for the winter supply was not bright
ened by the German coal promises made
at Spa. The amount OF coal now In the
harbor at Havre Is about 100000 tons.
while much moro is on the way from
the United States.
French consumers OF this coal will
have TO pay about $40 2 ton for Il. while
the output OF the Fresch and the Ger
man coal mines, as long as the supplies
laet from these sources. Will sell for
little more than half the price OF the
American fuel. Nevertheless, French
goal famine has been avertef and even
the smallest shops here are we'll heated.

Jacob may have worked seven years
to earn enough to have a mate. but the
average Frenchman is beginning to think
that the Biblical gentleman had a snap
compared to the present cost of starting
a household in Paris. Statistics from a
score OF French industries show that the
average wage Of a French workman is
bout 10000 francs year, and from
this sum only the thriftiest will save ten
per cent
THE NEW YORK HERALD Bureaus In

wishing TO try housekeeping In a small
apartment, even II they get one. will
have to pay at least 5000 francs for the
most ordinary bedroom furnishings, 1900
francs for kitchen furniture, cooking
utensils and a stove: another 1000 for
dining room. tables. chairs. plates. &c ;
with not less than 1900 each for eX-
penses incident to the marriage, such as
tips to mayors. INDECENT cures and the

II Is generally conceded that the
French soldiers pay of less than franc

thrift TO be exercised upon. apd II is
evident that, unless the brides dot"
helps out. the average workman will
have to wait at least ten years accord

conclusion is while Jacob NAV have had

 BEET FARMERS
 AREM SESSION

DENVER, Jan. 29 (by Associated Press) ).-Five hundred beet farmers, representing the more important beet growing districts of eleven states, are met here for a three-day session for the purpose of organizing the National Beet Growers Association, call for which meeting was issued by the lead ing farmers organizations of the West thirty days ago.
 Questions under discussion are the perfection of an organization to look carefully after all interests connected with the raising of sugar beets; ex- pansion of this great branch of agri- culture; steps to post thoroughly all beet growing districts as to market conditions; to remove the national sugar bowl from the clutches of few powerful corporations which are so united and organized as to form a most menacing trust"
 The sugar beet was termed one of the nations very greatest agricultural assets by delegates. The delegates are seemingly unitd in the effort to be vigorously launched to make the country independent of every other sugar producing country in the mat ter of sugar.
 Representative from several de- partments of the federal government are taking part in the proceedings. Delegates are registered from sugar producing districts of Colorado, Cali fornia, Idaho Michigan, Montana, Me- braska, Ohio, Washington and Wy oming. A number of women are in attendance.
