TO PRESERVE HOAGE
OF JEFFERSON DAVIS
Memphis House to Be Me-
mortal for Two Wars.

Memphis.-The old home Of Jeffer-
son Davis in this city is to be repaired
and preserved as a two-fold memorial
of the Civil war and the World war.
The quaint old structure is to be
maintained in its original plan and
design In the midst of small group
of mansions Of other days which still
stand in the heart of the downtown
district.
Veterans of the World war have
sponsored the movement, which has
as its object not only the preserva-
ton of the Davis home for the his
torical value Of its Civil war assO-
Citations, but also to give Memphis
post, No. /, American Legion, a home
that is to serve as memorial to
World-war dead.
Jefferson Davis lived in Memphis
two years during the reconstruction
period His home was located at what
is now Court avenue and Fourth
street. almost within stones throw
of Main street.
The house was the center Of the
citys social activity during the brief
period the ex-president Of the Con-
federacy and his family lived here.
But when Davis moved away, the
dwelling was permitted to fall into
decay, and as the business district
pushed eastward from the river, 1t be-
came enmeshed in a crowded district

The Legion's appeal for funds has
found ready response among the peo-
Pile of Memphis and in the surround
ing territory. The Legion asked for
$4,000 with which to buy the prop
erty and pay for its repair. The
major portion of the sum has been
paid in, and the hrst two payments
have been made on the purchase price
of the property.

THE FRENCH DEBT.

The American debt commission is to- day considering the status of the French debt and means of funding it to the mutual satisfaction of both parties. It is said that Secretary Mellon and Am bassador Jusserand have been several times in conference on this matter, and that plan acceptable to both has been provisionally outlined. It remains for the debt commission to endorse the gen. eral features of the plan before going into discussion with Ambassador Jusse- rand in open meeting. After that, it will be necessary for any agreement or plan to be ratified by both governments be- fore put into effect.
 There has been some demand in French quarters that this debt be annulled, and an echo has been heard in this country to the same effect. There is no sound basis for such an action, however, nor is that believed to be the Mellon opinion. The payment of debts has always been a French characteristic, and still is. Can cellation of debts means far more diffi- cult task of obtaining new loans. France may need other loans in the future. So payment of her present debts is assurance that a new loan would be safe. Besides, if the French do not pay the debt, Ameri- cans will have to, for it is covered by our Liberty bonds.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-12-01
Step By Step.

The French government has decided to re- duce the time of compulsory service in the army. Henceforth infantrymen will only serve twelve months instead of eighteen. This is a step in the right direction, further disarm- ament of Europe The long service in the army was inaugurated by M Delcassc, the minister of war, whose resignation was de- manded by Kaiser William in the stirring days of the Agadir incident. When the serv- ice extension was announced by NJ. Delcasse, there were riots and serious opposion to the move all over France. The more when it was discovered that some German armament firms paid large subsidies to French newspapers. The newspapers fin turn gave hysterical ac- counts of preparation for war in Germany and also in France. The German government naturally increased its orders with the arma- ment firms, which was the aim of the super patriotic firms. But the increase in the length of service of the French troops has a decidedly bad influence on European public opinion, especially in Germany, and the meas ure must be considered as one of the host of causes that led to the outbreak of the grAt war. It's removal marks a step in absolute conformity with the London agreement and the general policy of reconciliation of Premier Herriot.

A Poet Of Bacchus.

|NT. RAoUL PoNCHoN, poet and lover |lV of good wine, has been elected mem
 Der of the Academic Concourt. A writer says of him that he has sung about wine "joyfully, tenderly, enthusiastically, in many odelets of intoxicating wit, of fantasy as light as the froth of champagne" Some French novelists are furious, however, because of M. Ponchon's admission. They consider the Academic Concourt as their own preserve, out of bounds to poets, so to speak. M. Pom chon published only one volume in his life, ''The Muse in the Cabaret but he has con- tributed extensively to different periodicals. On one occasion one of his "rhymed dis patches" was considered to have exceeded the bounds of morality. He was haled before the magistrate and the following colloquy took place between the learned judge and the un- fortunate poet who, by the way is a little hard of hearing: "Your name is Ponchon Raoul, is it not?" "Yes, your honor." Do you wish to express regrets?" Quite right my name is Raoul." The judge imposed fine and addressing the poet asked him. "What do you intend to do in the immediate future, Monsieur Ponchon." "If you are through with me am going to have drink of excel- lent wine, the atmosphere here is exceedingly dry" replied the poet

Effort To Make Gold

Since the first fallen angels found brides on earth and taught them alchemy, men have been trying to turn base metals into gold. The Greeks tried it. the Arabs tried it, the priests of Egypt thought they had the secret Tn the days of Ptolemy the First. Now modest item appearing in the papers suggests that New York university will have it's turn. Amperage enough to ''crack" an atom of quicksilver will attempt to eliminate the eighueth electrOn from billions of atoms and leave residue of gold We believe" says one of the experi- mentors, that the effort will be successful"
 A few strands run through all history and tie us to our part. One of the stoutest of them is mans tireess conviction that crea- lures so superior as we are to the Quadrupeds must be wise enough to find way of making gold. All ages have grubbed in chemicals to find the secret. There were the Greeks who thought that if base metals could be boiled down to their essence it would be possible to boil them up to gold again. There were Arabs who were hunting for philosophers stones 5OO years before Mohammed and Alexandrians who thought pinch of salt in sulphur would make gold. A dozen empires must have fallen since the first Chaldean confided to his friends he knew how it was done.
 There has never been search since the men began to think, which broke so many hearts and ate up so much effort. Yet our age is the last to say that the time of many dis appointed men was wasted. If modern science can pick up the trail today with all the equip ment of the modern laboratory, of it can bring quartz lamps and electric power into play, whom has it to thank if not the early alchem- ists? Blundering to find one special metal, they produced a science. There isn't a stick of forged steel on Lower Broadway or a blue dye in a summer shirt but owes remotely its existence to the single-minded men who couldn't be argued from their search for gold. The world crawls crabwise toward its knowl- Iedge.-New York World.
