16 PROTECTION WAVE AT ITS HIGHT SAYS M. YVES GUYOT PLAN FOR DEVELOPING AMERICAS TRADE IS El ROPE. Former French Minister of Public Works and One of the Lea dinar Political Economist* of Enrope Declares the “Rising Wave of Pro tection Ha* Reached Its HiKhest Point in the tutted States.*’ Scheme to Organise in the Heart of Europe On American Trade Center. 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' M. YVES GLVOT. "Washington. It has been carefully ex- , 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- EST.

The Palais Royal would become the great European department store of the United States.” 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. —Mrs. Alice Galleher Sessums, wife of the Rt.

Mrs. Sessums has already re ceived three flattering offers for the patent. —Gen. Andre, who has been forced out of the position of Minister of War in the French government, is a man of ungainly appearance.

WILL BURN WICKED 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. GEORGIA AND FLORIDA MADE HIS SON DRUNK. For taking his 11-year-old son, Jolhn Albert, into a saloon and making him limber drunk, J. T. Albert, who has been working for the Georgia Railway and Electric Company, was sent to the chaingang in Atlanta for thirty days and denied the alternative of paying a fine. PAPER PUBLISHED BY SCHOOL.

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 certain creditors, including M'aj. D. A. Lyle, the United States government • 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.
