But Atlanta Mar Finds l. Good Ref

w. I. Boswell, forty-eight, evidently
believes the Atlanta police station is
good refuge on cold night, even
with its ordinary Inconvenience.
When found intoxicated in the
streets, Boswell was locked in a cell,
with furnace heat and blanketed cot.
At the end of two hours he put up So
collateral and asked to be released.
1t may have been the cold wind that
came whiStling around the corner of
the police station or it may have been
the long tresome trip home that dis
coura2ed him. At any rate, he turned
back.
II amt right yet, gentlemen" he
said, as he displayed all the symp.

under the edge of the farm porch. Give
me back my SO and let me stay two
more hours"
His money was refunded and he
was given bed for the night.

THE GERMAN ATTITUDE

The vast reparation sum fixed by
the allies has brought the usual indig.
nant outcry from Germany. German
statesmen and editors are now loudly
telling the whole world that the de-
mands made are absolutely Impossible
for their country, in it's present and
prospective situation, to fulfill. They
may be right or wrong from the stand
point of fact-the question Is certain
ly open to debate-but there is one
aspect of their position which must
strike any thoughtful person very
disagreeably. 1t Is the aspect re-
marked by former President Poincare
of France, in an official article in the
Paris Matin, in which he says:
Germany complains Of her misery
as IL she we're not the sole artisan of
it. Poor Germany! She fell upon
Belgium and upon France to seize for
herself Antwerp, Briey, Toul and Yer
dun. She expended billions to destroy
our cities, to flood our mines, to raw.
age our forests She shot innocent
French people, led away women as
hostages, condemned thousands of
young. people to humiliating labor
And now that she is, a3 she says, ruin
ed, she implores her victims to give
up their claims against her. Poor
Germany"
II is necessary to keep such facts
as these ever fresh in mind when
considering the relations between Ger
many and the allies. 1t Is necessary
to remember that mercy Is undeserved
because Germany showed no mercy
to the nations she attacked, and has
not even earned mercy for herself, ac-
cording to Christian standards, by re-
penting of the wrong she has done.
Whatever mitigation of penalty the
allies may concede to Germany VIII
be dictated therefore purely by busi'
ness exigencies. If they do not en-
force full justice, of the Mosaic sort,
1t Is only because they cannot make
Germany pay what she deserves to
pay.

UNCLE SAM BUYS BONDS

The U. s. treasury department Is In
the market for couple of hundred
million dollars worth of Liberty
bonds. And why should the govern.
ment buy its own bonds? 1t Is legal
ly obliged to do so by law, in order to
retire certain quantity OF these
bonds from time to time, through a
sinking fund provided for that pur'
pose. In the gradual process of wiping
out the war debt.
But Uncle Sam isn't saying much
about II. He doesn't go out and ad-
yertise for the bonds, or many any
other public announcement. He just
goes into the bond market, quietly and
shrewdly, and gets the best bargain
the market affords. Thus he saves
money, obtaining considerably below
par securities which otherwise he
would have to make good at their face
value.
Nobody need get sore at Uncle Sam
for that. The money he saves is pub
lie money The nation as whole
benefits by such thrift. and the only
people who lose are those foolish
enough to sell him the bonds below
par.
Any private citizen is free to play
the same game. As has been said
over and over again. all of the wal
bonds are bargains at present prices
and anybody with II little cash to in
vest can buy them just as cheaply as
the government can and profit jus,
as much, or more. They cost less now
than they will after the government
has made It's heavy purchases.

FAMOUS SILVER CROSS
IS STOLEN and MELTED
italian Church PiIIaged Of Price,
less Treasure Which Is De-
stroyed by Thieves.

Antlquarians all the world over will
regret that the famous Byzantine sill
yer gilt cross with collection of
Fourteenth century chalices and pyxes
preserved in the treasury of Grave
dona parish church on Lake Como
Italy, have been pillaged and destroyed
by thieves. A certain Buttista On
dion. formerly sacristan of the church,
confesses he was led to organize the
midnight robbery through numerous
offers he received from time to time
from English-speaking visitors to pur-
chase the precious relic at its weight
In gold.
Entry was effected across the roof
of an adjacent silk mill by saving
through an iron grill protecting the
windows. and the author of sacrilege
probably would have eluded identifi-
cation had not one of his two accom-
pliccs, who was military deserter,
dropped his pocketboOk containing
personal papers during his hasty re-
treat with the result that the culprits
were traced and captured the same
evening. But, alas when at length the
thieves were prevailed upon to loosen
their tongues, 1t was to recount they
had broken up the booty into small
bits on the journey home.
Finally the police extracted from
them the name of the Mfilanesc silver
smith to whom they had sold the treas
urc. but on penetrating the laboratory
of that receiver of stolen jcwelry, the
authorities behcld the entire haul, ex-
cepting the brass has of the Byzantine
relic, In state of fusion.
So highly esteemed in the world of
art were these antiquities that during
the great war they were removed to
the capital for safety. The extraordi-
nary psychological imbccility is re-
veaed in the fact that although the
early medieval cross alone is valued
Mt 1,0OO,000 francs the wretched perpe-
trntors Of the sacrlege turned over
the entire collection TO the silversmith
for 80 francs.

The total cost of this Improvement
will be $500 according to the esti-
mate made at the meeting of the new
industries committee last evening.
This money burden will be born equal
ly by the Chamber of Commerce and

ed this factory building will be large
enough to house the portion of the
industry that the home company wish
es to establish in Mount Vernon at

The Swedish twirler, Erickson. was
too much for the stalwart Vikings,
who could not use their surplus
strength as they failed to connect with
the ball, and hence were beaten by a

commendab1e work.
Erickson was the pitcher for the
Swedes and was supported behind the
