"President Wilson roust decide for or against Germany," said Gabriel Hanotaux, former foreign minister of France, in an article in the Figaro today. He writes as follows: "Apparently America is enriching herself from the universal ruin. Really she is impoverishing herself. It is a matter of fat dividends but when the respect of other nations and her own sense of honor are put on the other side of the balance sheet she is the loser." FRENZIED FINANCE LONDON, March 8. "It is learned on the highest authority ' that Germany is plotting to foment financial trouble in neutral countries," says the Financial News. "The idea is to wreck banks by nominating German agents who are to incur large liability, then default. Holland, Dennmark, Brazil and Argentine are said to. be the chief centers of these operations."

Two of his brothers, who also took up arms for France, have fallen in battle. ADOPTS 520 GODSONS. PARIS, March 8. Almost every woman in France has adopted at least one soldier at the front or prisoner in a German camp as her godson, but the record of godmother is held by Mme. Robin of Paris, who has no less than 520 godsons, and who is con tinually adding to the number. GIRL ARRESTS SPY. PARIS, March 8. A young girl has been the means of capturing a dan serous spy In Paris, for which she will receive a reward from the British government of $600. She was entering a car in the sub way and in her hurry, trod on the toes of a British soldier, who gave vent to an oath in German. The Parisienne understood this oath, for she had often heard it in Alsace. She followed him to his room and had him arrested. INVENTS TRENCH MACHINE. LONDON. March 8.

HOODOO CLOCK AT IVESTCOTT P. L. Mounce, local manager for the Western Union, tells a "13" story that sounds like But Mounce says it's true and, naturally, that puts the George Washington label on it. When P. L. was W. U. manager at Richmond, this state, Tup Townsend was the night clerK at the Westcptt hotel. Now the Westcott was rather frillsome and one of its show place3 was a Western Union clock that not only kept minutes and hours but the days as well. One night at 11:58 on the 12th of the month Tup Townsend stood talking to some newspaper friends. "Boys," he said, "there's only one thing in this hotel that has '13' on it that's the clock. We -have no Room 13, no thirteen-year-old bellboys no 13 except the clock. It's nearlv the thirteenth of the month now. Stick around, fellows, and watch the clock take on the hoodoo day." . Now it was 11:59. The boys stood with eyes fixed on the clock. The hands moved slowly, steadily. Then it happened. Bing! The figure 13 dropped down into place, then shot up again, became entangled in the clock's mechanism, there was a wild, whirring sound that terrorized the observers: and the clock went dead. That 13 simply wrecked the Westcott's clock and all the good mechanics and electricians in ; Manager Mounce's employ couldn't fix it Mounce had to send to Indianapolis for a man to take the hoodoo awav from . the Wstcott clock.

CLUBWOMEN PREPARE FOR BIG CONVENTION Headquarters of the local Biennial Board of the General Federation of Women's clubs, whose work it is to prepare for the great convention to be held in New York in May, resembles a huge beehive. The program, which will include discussions of public health, home economics, conservation, education, industrial and social progress, art and literature, is nearing completion; Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska, the states bordering on Kansas, can each boast many more millionaires than she, with her less than a dozen, but the Kansas per capita wealth is higher than any of theirs, and Kansas smiles. Ecuador has a tree producing berries which can be used as soap. Clusters of cloves hung In a room and allowed to dry will drive away flies. " .

Homes Thrown Open to Entertain Folks

Attending High Meet "Send us the New Castle crowd. We live out In the east end and by the time the boys get put here they will be too tired to start anything," reads an

application from one of the many high school patrons, who are asking for. the privilege of entertaining out-of-town persons for the basketball tournament.

Blanks requesting parents to co-operate In the caring for and entertaining

of the several hundred out-of-town persons to be here the, latter part of the

week, have met hearty welcome in the high. So great Is the demand for visitors students will be disappointed. f LEADS FOR SENATE INDIANAPOLIS, March 8.

MUNCIE TAKES OVERTIME DUEL BY 6-5 SCORE MUNCIE, Ind., March 8. The Muncie polo quintet won from the All Stars in an overtime game here last night by a score of six to five. Had it not been for Blount, the visitors' gold tend, the game would have been a walk-away for the locals. Blount put up the prettiest exhibition of pass work seen here this season. Time and again the locals carried the ball down the floor past the veteran players, but only to be stopped by the visiting cage man. Doc Harrold of Indianapolis, who played center for the Muncie team, played a stellar game on the offensive and defensive, as well as time and again breaking up the plays of the visitors. Williams scored the winning goal after almost four minutes of overtime, on a pass from Fahrner. The inhabitants of China are counted every year in a curious manner. The oldest master of every ten houses has to count the families and make a list, which is sent to the imperial taxhouse. BY "THE DEVIL." That ain't swearin'. It's just what they call me round the office. Say, talk about women wantin to vote and run the government. It was awful funny; 'bout the funniest thing I ever seen. But, I forgot to tell what's all about. " They had a primary last night, you know. Say, you know If that man Sherman had ever worked on a newspaper, he wouldn't of aaid war' was what he did. Nope, he'd a said "War Is a Primary." If fightin' at Verdua is half as bad as what we done last night, I'm going to join thearmy. Why, we have, at this writing' just been on the job for 36 hrs. without any sleep. We am t been bambarded? No? We could dodge shells, but not some of them fool questions some folk ast. I actually felt sad for them reporters. They had rows and rows of figures that to figure would make a Rockyf ellow's daily income look like a missionary club report.
