PARIS. Nov. 19.-The authorities
at the village of Burey, near Paris.
determined that their town should
have a soldiers monument which
perhaps Premier Poincare might be
induced to dedicate, have met with
opposition from an unexpected
source, AS fast as the foundation
for the monument was dug, it was
filed in during the night by myster-
ious hands. A watch was set and it
was found that the culprit was a
woman named Morineau, who, iiv-
ing opposite the site said that as
her son had been killed in the war
she could not bear the thought OF
having such a constant reminder OF
her loss. She was twice brought to
court and fined, but as her offense
continued she was arrested and
locked up.
