PLAN FOR DEVELOPING AMERICAS

Former French Minister of Public

Political Economist* of Enrope
Declares the “Rising Wave of Pro

Scheme to Organise in the Heart

New York. Nov. 26.—Declaring- that
•‘the rising wave of protection has now
reached its highest point in the United
States.” M. Yves Guyot, one of the
leading political economists of Europe,
and for three years Minister of Public
Works of Prance, laid before the Board
of Trade and Transportation, briefly,
a plan for a tremendous development
of American trade in France and Eu
rope.
Later, in explaining the undertaking,
M. Guyot said:
"I represent an important French
syndicate, which proposes to organize
in the heart of the European continent
an American commercial * center, the
home of which shall be the famous
Palais Royal, in Paris. We have laid
this project before the government at'

amined by both the Secretary of State
and the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor, and 've are authorized to say
that they cordially sympathize with
and approve the general policy which
the project is designed to carry out.
"The proposal which we submit to
the commercial world of the United
States has been suggested by the man
ner in which the great business houses
organize their sales by means of a cen
tral agency which establishes sub
agencies in the various states. The
merchants of the United States could
co-operate, each preserving his indi
viduality. for the foundation of a cen
tral agency in Paris, which would
have branches throughout Europe. The
proposal is simply the application of
advice so familiar in the mouths of the
American consuls.
“To concentrate the European trade
of the United States in an edifice which
would serve at the same time as an ex
hibition, a show room, a retail store, a
warehouse, and an inquiry office, where
each merchant would preserve the in-

Port Arthur the Key of Asia.
From Collier's. Nov. 19.
The story of Port Arthur, distressing
as It is, has at least the merit of
showing what a cargo of heroic vir
tues the old world still carries. Slaugh
ter has never been more shocking, but
bravery has never been more abundant.
Never in all history have men shown
greater defiance of death than has been
shown in the terrible months of strug
gle for the citadel which has been for
years the key to the Eastern situation.
We cannot wonder at the price Japan
would pay for the fortress, since as
long as Russia owns that fort the pur
pose for which this war is fought wfl'
not have been accomplished by Japan.
If the war should be settled without
depriving Russia permanently of the
fortress, a dagger would still be point
ed at Japan’s heart. The control of
Korea by Japan would be an insecure
defense as long as the strongest po
sition in Manchuria was held by her
enemy. Russia needed to hold the
fortress for the same reasons that Ja
pan needed to take it. Additional mo
tives for both sides were furnished by
considerations of prestige and by the
bearing of the Port Arthur situation
on the immense struggle further north.
The talk about whether all this des
perate courage and destruction about
Port Arthur has 'been well invested,
therefore, seems to us beside the mark.
If the war was to be at all. Port
Arthur was a necessity to each of the
combatants, and time was an essen
tial consideration to both, especially to
Japan. It being something vital, there
fore, to their countries’ welfare, Rus
sians and Japanese alike have fought
for the stronghold in a manner to
prove that man still retains the vir
tues of the bull dog. Effeminacy, for
the great modern nations, is an imag
inary bogy. Let a danger, as vital as
has confronted Japan, threaten Ger
many, France, England or the United
States, and we imagine that they also
would still be found capable of fight
ing desperately in the last ditch.

FRENCH NOVELS
CUSTOM HOUSE OFFICIALS
TO DE JUDGES AND CENSORS OF
FRENCH LITERATURE.
The New York Customs Official*
Charged With the Duty of Pre
venting the Importation of Any
More Highly Spiced French Novel*
Only Books of Antiquity Will Es
cape the Furnace.
New York. Nov. 26. —No more highly
spiced French novels will get into this
country if the second clerk in the liq
uidation department of the Custom
House can prevent it. Hundreds of
volumes will soon go up in smoke
and Are. and the winds of heaven will
carry their ashes to the four quarters
of the globe. There is only one way
in which a work which falls below the
ethical standard of the liquidation de
partment can escape oblivion, and that
is by being as old as it is bad. Its
sins will be forgiven on grounds of
venerabllity.
Of course, the liquidation clerk is the
only one who condemns the wicked
books to the fire. He is the court of
Wist resort, when the pictures do not
speak for themselves or the title is not
suggestive.
Days of stress and anxiety have fall
en upon the law division since this
quest for the erotic began. Members
of the literary family, who have hith
erto been regarded as respectable, have
come under the inquisition. The of
fices in the Customs House look like
the establishment of a book reviewing
magazine the day before publication.
Pages were turned with feverish haste
by several men so that they might
keep pace with the exacting demands
of censorship. The pictures closely fol
lowed the text in many cases and
when there were no illustrations the
interest of the litterateurs abated. The
industrious clerk, who does the most
reading, has had to submit to an un
fair division of labor, for the greater
number of the books which he receives
are not illuminated by art.
No one in the Customs House will
tell the name of this censor. He is
very young, and he is a French schol
ar; that is all that can be learned.

Albert, into a saloon and making him

FOR A MAD DOG niTE.
R. B. Chandler, a member of the
firm of Chandler Bros, of Girth, Burke
county, was bitten by a mad dog, and
is now at the Pasteur Institute in
Atlanta, where he is being treated.
CLERK SUSPENDED.
Brunswick Journal: City matters
took a rather unusual turn this morn
ing when Mayor Crovatt suspended Mr.
N. D. Russell, clerk of Council, for
’’impertinence and neglect of duty.”
It seems that the clerk was not in
his office and that a citizen went to
another office in the City Hall, where
t/he clerk was engaged and asked if
ae was registered. The Mayor noted
that the clerk was not in his office and
reprimanded him for it. The clerk re
plied, and was thereupon suspended.
DEFALCATIONS charged.
In a hearing before Judge Alexander
R. Walton, Ordinary of Richmond
county, it was brought out that James
A. Sapp, a United States soldier sta
tioned at the Augusta arsenal and for
years before his tragic death a trusted
non-commissioned officer, had embez
zled government funds to the amount
of $6,171. These embezzlements extend
ed from January, 1902, to tihe time of
his death, last spring. Sapp was mar
ried, but divorced. He left one child
about 6 years of age. It will be re
membered that Sapp committed suicide
in the woods beyond the filtering sta
tion of the Augusta waterworks. Sapp
left an estate that has been appraised
at $3,073. Mrs. Sapp came under the
laws of Georgia, claiming a year's sup
port for the minor child. She was al
lowed SI,OOO by the appraisers in their
report to Ordinary Walton. Following
the filing of the appraisement of the
estate and t/he filing of the report

• I. B. DI CESXOLA,
Director Metropolitan Museum of Art.
New York. Nov. 25.—Gen. Louis Palma di Cesnola, managing director
and trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, who died at his residence,
•the Hotel Seymour, from an attack was not only distinguished through
the world as an art connoisseur, but had a brilliant military record.
By birth an Italian nobleman, he achieved great distinction in this, his
country by adoption, in many ways. He served with great bravery during
the Civil War, and the famous plan to escape by means of the "Richmond
tunnel,” through which a few soldiers did escape and reach the Union lines,
was conceived by him. Had it not been for a traitor in the camp of the
prisoners the whole plan might have been successful.
From 1865 to ,1877 Gen. Di Cesnola was United States consul at Cyprus.
He made extensive archaeological explorations, unearthed statues, inscrip
tions, sarcophagi, architectural remains, vases, terra cottas, bronzes and
gold and silver jewels at Curium, all of which are now on exhibition at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art.
and S. D. Langley, each caveated the
return of the appraisers, alleging that
the year's support granted to the
mother for the child was in excess of
what the law- contemplated, the estate
being Insolvent. In Its caveat the gov
ernment alleged that by reason of de
falcations the estate owed t 6.161.68 to
the United States. These defalcations.
It Is alleged, Sapp committed over a
period of a year or more, by raising
the face value of vouchers In excess
of the amount due. and appropriating
the excess to his own use.
