Hahnvllle, La., Nov. 18.--Julius S. Funk, former president of tho Bank of Paridle, now In the hands of the State Bank Examiner, was ar rested here Wednesday on the charge of embezzling $96,?00 from the parish of SI. Charles. He was re- | leased later on bond in the sum of * 10,000. According to information filed by j State Bank Examiner Young, road bonds of St. Charles parish were sold by Funk through Chicago con cerns. The Information charged that Funk furnished St. Charles parish authorities what purported to be a deposit ?lip for $90,000, the proceeds of the bond sale, informing them that the money had been placed to their credit in the Bank of Paridis. It fur ther charged that Funk had deposit ed the funds In his own name, and that $6"),000 of the amount had been withdrawn. Funk came here some years ago from Bloomington, 111., where the family is widely known, and organ ized the Delta Land Company, of which he became president.

OPPOSED TO THE WADE PLAN. Greenville I Winkers Tell Why They Think Scheme in Unwise. Greenville, Nov. 18.-In a short talk delivered before the bankerB of Group One, South Carolina Bankers' Asociation, Capt. E. A. Smyth de clared the "Wade Plan" to "be a "great bluff on the part of .Northe... capitalists." and he doubted that the South would ever see a dollar of the money. He did not believe the scheine was practical, but believed that each individual farmer, hanker and cotton mill manufacturer must work out bis own problems without expecting any help from abroad. He did not like the margin required by the syndicate'In the liquidation pro cess. Following the roil call of banks In Hie group, Mr. Norwood was called upon to explain thc! Wade plan, which be did clearly and briefly. His chief objection was the amount of margin reqiured in the liquidation process. He did not like the plan of holding the 25 per cent throughout the greater period of paying back the loan, and frankly admitted that it was poor finance and not likely to be used to any great extent by Southern bankers. lie liked better a plan which the local bankers are to carry out for their customers, in dependent of the Wade plan, and one which will likely prove satisfactory. He stated that one of the local banks will act as agent for all the j Greenville banks and will borrow j $200,000 from Northern States, put ting up $50,000 themselves and this will be loaned out to the trade. How ever, the local banks will not have their collateral up after the debts are individually retired, but will have it out at Interest, together with that which is borrowed from the Northern banks. There is an ar rangement whereby another $100, 000 cnn be borrowed in case the amount ls needed. Hence it appears from Mr. Norwood's remarks that the local situation is in pretty fair shape, or will be at no distant date. Mr. Norwood bas investigated the Wade plan thoroughly, and has had considerable correspondence on the subject. He evidently does not like the plan, as was evident from his remarks concerning the chief objec tion, which is the sinking of 25 per cent of the total amount, plus the in terest and tho contingent fund, until the syndicate ls liquidated. Before be took bis seat Mr. Nor wood was called upon to express his views on Hie overdraft proposition, and be stated that the best way to handle the proposition was to get a little stiffening in their backs and frankly tell customers who make this business a habit that their patronage was no longer desired unless they could stay within their deposits. He said he did not think it was right to pay out other people's money in this way; that it was better to tell the COMFORT PE RF SMCj*T,LE?g YOU n warm and dress tion S m i Heater w ordinary : minutes.

TUE WAR WILdL BND IN UM7, According to Estimate Accredited to British Expert. The military expert of the London Daily Mail estim?tes that the war will not end until 1917. The esti mate ls based on the belief that the Germans will commit no groat tacti cal error. The Dally Mail's author ity divides the war into six periods - two past, one present and throe to come. The lirst period was the Ger man advance through Belgium into Franco. The second period was the battle of the Marne and the German retreat to the Aisne. The third period comprises the fighting on the Aisne, continuing and developing into the battle of Calais. The fourth pe riod will be the German retreat and j a battle on tho Meuse. The fifth period will be a further German re treat and a battle on the Rhine. The sixth period will bo the allied march on Berlin, The expert estimates that the battle of Calai3 will not end com pletely before the beginning of De cember. Ho assigns a period of five months for the battle of the Meuse, bringing the end or this battle lu April or the beginning of May, 11)15. The campaign on Hie Rhine, he esti mates should last nearly twice as long, or until February, 191 (5. The Anal march to Berlin and the nego tiations for peace, be figures, should consume at least a year, bringing the withdrawal of the allied armies of occupation In 1917. The estimate gives the total lieriod of the war as rather less than three years lt ls presumed that the Russian advance will occupy a similar period and that only the steady combined pressure of the allies can bring matters to a conclusion within the jveriod suggest ed. He assumes that the German forces will withdraw steadily and that there will be no sudden collapse on either front. Prevent? Longstreet Proi>orty Sale. (Toccoa Record.)

W. W. Wothcrspoon, chief of the genernl staff. In lils annual report to-day. Necessity for a mobile force of 500,000 thoroughly trained and equipped lighting men in the first line of the military establishment and the need for a secondary for?a of 300,000, consisting of a thorough ly trained force of organized militia, is urged in the report. To build up this mobile force Gen. Wotherspoon declares that the alzo of the regular or standing army should be about 205,000 enlisted men.

I Charleston News and Courier.) A 17-word dispatch from Berlin, published lu yesterday's newspapers, announced the death of August Welsmann. In the same newspapers scores of other dispatches, thousands of words In length, were devoted to the desperate ?nd frightful war in which millh ns ol soldiers are en gaged. So strange a thing ls human civilization and HO crazy a place ls this world of man. We have brought lt about that in this 20th century matters have como to such a pass that the death of a great genius is of small interest compared with the wreck and ruin of machines of war. A Welsmann dies and the world scarcely knows or cares. Three lines for the passing of one of the greatest scientists of science's golden age; colmun after column for bloodshed and suffering and destructive wrath. Weismann in his lifetime served not Germany but manklud. The au thor of the germ-plasm theory of heredity labored not for one country but for all the world; and science, which knows no international fron tiers, was the beneficiary of lils la bors. Yet in bis death Weismanu may be said to have performed a ser vice1 for his country. His passing at this moment in the world's history will serve to emphasize anew the greatness of that peaceful Germany which is, alas, no more. lt will bo a reminder of the value of the ser vices which that peaceful Germany has performed for the human race. It will call hack to men's minds the intellectual glory of a people which could produce such a giant, as the great biologist who has just breathed his last. It will intensify the sorrow which all thinking men and women must feel because a people, capable of such splendid achievement in tho realm of the intellect, has plunged or has been dragged, as the case may be, into the dark and terrible abyss where Germany now struggles In aw ful warfare with the rest of Europe. An Army's Pyes. (London Answers.) When peoplo read that, armies aro engaging each o 1er at 2,000 yards' distance they an ipt to imagine that ;ho combatants can see each other, but, as a matter of fact, they cannot. At that distance it is impossible to distinguish between a man and a horse, and even at 1,200 yards, es pecially where there is any dust, lt requires the best kind of eyes to tell infantry from cavalry. At f)00 yoards the movements be come clearer, although it ls not until they get within 750 yards of each other that tho heads of the columns can be made out with anything Uko certainty. Infantry can bo seen In tho sun light much more easily than cavalry or artillery, because less dust is raised. Besides, infantry ls distin guished by the glitter of tho mus kets. At 2,000 yards, however, everything ls unsatisfactory.
