had let him allow his figure to run to
such ungainly proportions.
In the French political world the Baron
was we'll known. Many Of the leaders OF
the small political groups into which
French politics divide the Chamber OF
Deputies received subsidies from him. He
was the man of broad political views and
contributed as readily to the Golfers OF
the conservatives as to those Of the radi-
calls II merely depended on the man
who was asking for the funds.
Il is estimated that the Baron spent
over 500, 900 in the last eighteen months
in this way. But never without an object.
He obtained early information, special
licenses and had his somewhat stormy
financial path eased over dozen times a
year owing to the strings that he was
able to pull and the scores of political
acquaintances that he could claim.
But the police found that the great

In a safe were found few
hundred dollar bills and n
great pile of high value
French stamps. These, it is
found, had been stolen from
the national printing works
by an associate of Genser's.
in the other rooms of the
great mansion were found
pictures, plate, jewelry, tap
estries, old china and beauti-
full antique furniture in huge
quantities. All of it came
from thefts, or from swind-
ling operations carried out
during the past three years
by the Baron de Reith de
Baillencourt.
His beautiful country seat
the Chateau de Couvicourt
built for a favorite of King
Louis XIV, is surrounded by
a lovely park and is greatly
admired because of its won
lerful mural paintings. Here
we're found six splendid
motor cars, none of which
had been bought by the
Baron, and all of which, de-
spite the subtle changes
which had been wrought in
their appearance by new up
nolstery, changed numbers
and so on, were finally
recognized by their respec-
tive owners as cars which
had been stolen from them
during the few weeks prior
to the Baron's arrest.
Every evening in his office
the Baron used to receive his
principal agents, who deliv-
cred the profits of the busi-
ness to him and received his
orders for future operations.
As the news of the Baron's
arrest leaked out there came
from all sides accusations Of

American Legion and Auxiliary En-.
deavoring to Supply News to Dis
abied Men in Hospitals.

There are 10000 young Americans
| who were wounded while fighting dur
ing the World war or who have be-
come sick following their service in
field and camp, now confined to hos
pitfalls over the United States. Most
Of them are hundreds of thou
sands Of miles from their home town,
friends and relatives Many Of them
can do nothing but read to pass away
the time.
The American Legion auxiliary,
composed of the wives, mothers and
sisters of service men, is endeavoring
to have personal, cheerful letters
written to these men. Now the Legion
Is trying to have people in the mems
home towns send the hometown
newspaper to them, either every day
or every week
There are not more than five or six
ex-service men from any average-sized
town in hospitals, the Legion esti-
mates, and asking newspaper editors
to send free copies of their papers to
their hometown boys in hospital Is
not asking too much, nor more than
citizens would be willing to do. The
Legion is forwarding to its officials in
each state lists of names of men from
that state in hospital, and asking that
local newspaper editors send their pa
pers to these men. Newspaper edi-
tors who are interested, the Legion an
nounces, are asked to signify their
willingness and to request lists of
names Of men from their towns, from
national headquarters, Indianapolis,

SHREVEPORT FIELD
SHOWING ACTIVITY
Fifty-two Completions, Six
Failures and Three
Cassers for Week.

Shreveport, La.-Fifty-two compile
tions with forty-three producers, six
failures and three gassers brought the
initial production of the Shreveport
territory from 8,718 barrels for last
week to 1851 barrels for the current
week, a gain of 2,782 barrels, and the
average production showed an In
crease in every field except in Caddo
and Homer. In the latter field daily
average was practically the same as
last week The total daily average
production rose from 1925 for last
week for the present week.
The number of completions rose dur
ing the present week from forty-four to
fifty-two and the number of failures
declined from nine for last week to
six during the present week.
The Haynesville field shows that 1t
has fully recovered from the effects of
in the increase of initial production
and in the increased daily average pro-
duction.
The Caddo field last week recorded
1,000-barrel we'll, while this week the
record shows two producers with a
combined yield of 820 barrels. Belle
vue shows slump, falling from an
initial yield of GAS barrels last week
to ITO barrels for the present week.
Four completions were made, three be-
ing producers. Both competitions in Do
Sofa parish this week were failures,
while last week this field recorded one
producer of thirty-barrel capacity.
The Ell Dorado district showed a
slump in initial yield, as only 1875 bar
rels initial production are recorded for
the present week, while 3,095 was the
initial yield last week The average
daily production, however, shows an
increase from 1880 to 1920 this
week.
The largest completion in this ter
rftory was in the Haynesville field, be-
ing the Ohio Oil Company's ]. T. Wat
