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- |

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withdrawn.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.
He waived reading of the informa

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

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.

A <in au (?crinan.
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.

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.
