Paris, Feb. 19.?Raymond Poincare yesterday took over the office of President of the French republic from Armand Fallieres, who retired after serving his full term of seven years. Nothing more simple than the transfer of power from one chief executive in France to his successor can be imagined. President Poincare listened while M. Fallieres said: "I transfer to you the powers of the state." Then in a clear, solemn voice, he replied; "I consecrate myself to the service of the republic." The ceremony took place in the beautiful palace of the Elysee. No oath of office was taken nor any oration made. Just a few courteous sentences were uttered by M. Fallieres and these were answered by M. Poincare. TRAMPING 7,000 MILES. Across Continent and Hark? Testing Army Shoes. St. Louis, Ma., Feb. 19.? Sergeant John M. Walsh, U. S.

But those who are so far removed from right thinking have considerable change of opinion to undergo before they arrive at the true state of affairs. It appears that the rural population is really more interested in safeguarding the interests of the country at large than any other people, J ?1 J 1! ciiiu nicy are uevuung mucn time and thought in this direction. At the recent convention of the Farmers' National Congress in which thirty-six states were represented by delegates appointed by the government, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That a free and fearless press is of such great importance in safeguarding our liberties that no legislation abridging the freedom of the press should be enacted by Congress, and that no legislation should be enacted by Congress unless it has been duly r? ferred to and acted on by the proper committee of both house and senate." The greatest trouble that has heretofore bothered any publication in this respect has been the ruling of an executive branch of the federal government. The farmers believe that Congress should curtail these powers and certainly not enact any legislation restricting the publication of any periodical. The point is, we believe, well taken, and we may confidently expect relief in the immediate future from any intolerable conditions that may have heretofore existed.?Augusta Chronicle.

NINE SAILORS RESCUED. At Risk of Their Lives, Life Savers Take Men From Stranded Schooner. Norfolk, Va., Feb. 19.?Nine men were rescued from the foundered and fast going to pieces four-masted schooner Montrose W. Houck hv thp Hfo_ savers of Paul Gamiels station, half-way between Cape Henry and Cape Hatteras, yesterday afternoon. At 8 o'clock last night the schooner was reported a total wreck, having broken completely up under the heavy sea. Captain Colbeth, master of the schooner, was one of those rescued. The rescue was made at the imminent risk of the life guards' lives, after they had tried for ten hours to get a life line to the vessel and to launch their surf boat through the breakers. Time after time the waves, breaking on the desolate beach house, overturned the surf boat, throwing the hardy life-savers into the turbulent water up to their armpits. Earlier in the day they had tried to shoot a life line across the vessel, but the Houck was too far out, the line falling short in each of the half-dozen attempts. The Houck was bound from Jacksonville to Baltimore with a cargo of phosphate rock. She was driven ashore by the 30mile north wind early yesterday morning. Her plight was discovered by the beach patrol at daybreak, signals of distress flying from the one remaining mast. When the crew were taken off they were nearly exhausted, chilled to the marrow from the incessant beating of the icy water and without food or water to drink for twelve hours. The revenue cutter Onondago, in response to wireless information sent from Norfolk, arrived an hour or so after the men had been rescued. Shackleton to Go to Antarctic Again. New York, Feb. 19.?The i deaths which Captain Scott and 65 of his men met in the An-j tarctic will have no effect on the determination of Sir Ernest I Shackleton to go south again. | At a luncheon in his honor on the eve of his departure for England, Shackleton reaffirmed his intention of leading another, expedition, as there was "still work to be done" in the Antarctic. "Human lives are nothing," , he said, "if by going forth we | can add one iota to the sum of human 1'.owledge." He paid a tribute t?, Captain Scott and to Con mooore Charles V'ilkes ol [teh United States navy, whose discovery of the Antarctic continent in 1HI0. has been con-, ; firmed recently by the Mawson expedition. I EWS, FEBRUARY 21, 191S I SUFFRAGETTES BLOW UP HOUSE OF EXCHEQUER Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst AcI cepts Full Responsibility For Throwing Bomb Under the Dwelling. Cardiff, Wales, Feb. 19.? "We have blown up the Chancellor of the Exchequer's house," said Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, addressing an enthusiastic meeting of suffra geues here tonight. "The authorities need not look for the women who actually did it. I personally accept full responsibility for it." | Mrs. Pankhurst declared that if she were sentenced to penal servitude she would go on a hunger strike. "The government will then either have to set me free," she added, "or let me die. If I drop out a hundred women are ready to take my place." London, Feb. 19.?The country residence of Chancel, jr of it....i ^ ???c liAtiiciiuer uavia LloydGeorge at Walton Heath was practically destroyed this morning by a bomb which the police say was placed there either by militant suffragettes of their male sympathizers. Nobody was injured, as the residence had not yet been occupied. An official of the Woman's Social and Political Union told the police that the society had no knowledge of the perpetrators. "General" Mrs. Flore Drummond, however, declared the explosion was "undoubtedly the work of women." She exclaimed "It was a fine act and shows the determination of the women. I say, all power to all kinds of militancy in the direction of harassing cabinet ministers short of taking human life." ALREADY GROOMING. South Carolina Gubernatorial Candidates Make Announcements.

WAR VESSELS Washington, Feb. 19.?Approval of the plan to place college men on board the war vessels of the United States during the summer vacation was contained in the letters received by the navy department today from President Lowell of Harvard and President Hadley of Yale. While the department has not formally approved the scheme it thas been endorsed by Captain Charles C. Marsh, in charge of naval militia affairs. Captain Marsh believes that the placing of college students on board the vessels would create an interest in the navy i mil wouia t>e invaluable and also would bring to the service many men who would be available in case of war. He plans, with the consent of the secretary of the navy to try the experiment with at least 500 collegians this coming summer. ! We are badly crowded for storage room.

In the first place, when you buy a rug you know just how the complete pattern appears. Then, the designs are the most beautiful of all floor coverings, because the master designers of the world have been working on them lor centuries, and the designs of a i^Jg take in whole floor coverings instead of a small pattern as is necessary in matching a carpet. Another thing, there/is no troublesome matching or fitting and no work in putting them down. When you want to taka tuein up 11 is aone livan instant, so you can clean them as often as desired instead orf" once or twice a year. Besides, when one part of a rug bepOmes worn it is a simple matter to change it around and thai# get the full amount of service out of it.
