of his filibustering expeditions. On one
occasion, whpn the United States author
ities wero suspicious of Captain Hughes,

Cuba will be asked within a few day3
to pay a part of tho debt sho owed to
tho late Captain Sam Hughes, the king
of filibusters, whose sun-running expedi
tions, moro than anything else, made
possible tho freedom of tho " island.
Philadelpliians who were warm per
sonal friends of Captain Hughes during
his filibustering days and later when ho
was captain of tho port hero, havo "sug
gested" to tho Cuban Government that
a pension he granted ids widow, left

WAR WILL NOT KEEP
U. OF P. ENROLMENT DOWN
Registration Largest in University's
History Is Looked For,
Registration of students of the Uni
versity of Pennsjlvania began this morn
ing and will continue until Friday, when
the tegular esslonu begin. Olliclals of
the University do not think that the war
will have any etrect on the registration,
and look forward to a record enrollment.
No students will bo allowed to register
this vear without a doctor's vaccination
certificate. Thosa who have, not been
vaccinated within the last eight years
aro lequlred to be revacclnuted. As a
result of thlrf order sore arnu and
grouches are in vogue on the campus.
The engineering department will take a
picture of every student entering the de
partment this year The Idea U to keep
a more accurate identification system and
rscord. pf ihe students.
The M per cent, duty Imposed upon tho
Importation of ! dlnmonds hns placed a
premium upon the smuggling of such
stones, In tho opinion of diamond ex
ports of this city. George, A. Moore, of
J. K. Caldwell & Co., believes that tho
incicaso In diamond smuggling since Juno
1 has been nt least 23 per cent., and that
hoforo tho end of tho year It will havo
reached 50 per cent.
A great number of arrests havo been
made In this country recently, nnd they
show that tho Inventive genius of smug
glers has been stimulated by the great
opportunities for largo profits that aro
offered under tho tariff, a point which
Is well Illustrated In ono of tho recent
arrests, whore the smuggler hud cq'n
ceald nn cxtiemely valuable consignment
of diamonds by Imbedding them In the
plaster molding of a large picture frame.
B. J. Berlet, of llaxwcll & Berlct. was
sjvero In his criticism of tho tariff, point
ing out that the Government's Income
tinder a 10 per cent, tarlrt was J4.000.000
annually, while under tho 25 per cont.
tariff Imposed on theso stones a number
of y-ars ago this incomo dropped to I0
000. a fact which ho attributes to the
largo incieaso in smuggling nnd for the
reason that Individuals purchased their
piedous stones abroad, rather than In
America.
That the Increased cost of diamonds
would decrease their sale to any marked
extent or that the war would lead to
any scarcity of the stones weto Ideas
scouted by both oxperts. who say that
tho demand Is steady and that there Is
a sufficient supply In this country to
last for two or thiee years. Neither
of them believes that tho war will lead
to tho opening of nn cxtenslvo diamond
cutting Industry In America. They say
the cost of labor Is too high to permit
competition with tho foreign cutters. If
tne sceno of that Industry Is to bo
changed they bellevo that London will
be tho city to receive It. althoueh thev
doubt that tho war will cause the per
manent cessation of the trade In Bel
glum, where some 13,000 cutters nio em
ployed. The use of reconstructed and synthetic
stones as substitutes for such precious
stones ns rubles and emeialds Is thought
to bo probable by several experts, who
say that they hao notlved a growing
tendency In the buying of Jewels by
society women In this country. ,
FRENCH ARMY REINFORCED

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 22.
Advices received hero today from Der

the Franco-British troops attacked forti
fied German positions between tho Olsc

River Meuse. The German troops In tho
cast retired slowly In accordance with
a plan worked out In ndvanco by the gen

positions were reached.
According to the dispatch the French

losses.
In tho last three days the Germans
passed the offensive of tho French right,
which was heavily reinforced. The

NEW MOURNING SUGGESTED
FOR BRITAIN'S HERO-DEAD
London Times Advocates Purple
Band Instead of Conventional Black.
LONDON, Sept. 22.
There Is a strong movement on foot to
dispense with the orthodox form of
mourning In the event of casualties oc
curring In the British navy and army,
says the Times. A number of sugges
tions havo been put foiward designed to
effect economies, although at the same
tlmo in no way minlinlIng tho respect for
tho gallant dead. Recently we published
n. letter on this topic from Sirs. ICdwird
Lyttlcton, which, In view of tho Interest
ii nas nrousen. we reprint in run:
"If the country should decide to dls.
penso with such mourning, thu economic
effect will bo to save n disturbance of
cash expenditure. Mourning will still be
bought for those who die natural deaths;
but we Bhould havo a large additional and
artificial expenditure, temporal i tl.
flated by tho heavy death roll of the
next few weeks, and the iiionoj so saved
will bo available for the support of or
dinary trade. This Independent of the
weightier reasons for changing our usual
custom.
"What I am advocating Is something
that would bo an appeal to all hearts for
sympathy In bereavement, and It wonirt
moan practically no expenditure, for the
simple narrow band of purplo cloth to be
worn on the left arm by every man
woman or child who had lost a relation
In the war would cost practically nothing
and the badge would be the same for all
classes."
In a few days we shall be receiving the
news pf great loss of life on the Continent
and at sea. One's first thought Isabtiong
conviction that for lUts lost In such a
noble cause the wearing of conventional
mourning would be unsuitable.

LONDON. Sept. 22.
The Official Press Bureau has issued
the following announcement:
"It may be of some Interest and com
fort to the relatives of the officers whose
names appear as missing or wounded
In the casualty lists Issued by tho War
Office after tho termination of the re
treat from Mons to know that letters
havo begun arriving In lndon from
German hospitals, In which tome of them
aro found to be lying. Several of them
appear to be at Paderborn, Westphalia."
Tho British public, however. Is pre
pared to hear of great losses n the bat
tle now raging. The stories sent by
correspondents Indicate that the battle
has exceeded In violence and stubborn
ness anything in modern history since
tho struggle at Port Arthur. There are
stories of charges rivaling Ralaklavn, and
tho casualty lists confirm tho reports.
Casualties among British officers are
out of all proportion to the losses in
tho ranks. Seven hundred and ninety
seven officers aro among the killed,
wounded and missing. One hundred and
thirty officers have been killed. 3S3
wounded and 270 nro missing. Many of
tho missing probably must later be
recorded as killed or wounded despite to
day's official announcement.
Tho Coldstream Guards Regiment holds
first place with .11 casualties among Its
officers' corps. Tho King's Rojal Rllles
and the Suffolk Regiment have each had
23 officers killed or wounded; the Gordon
Highlanders. 23; tho Minister Fusiliers,
21; the Cameron Highlanders and the
Cheshire Regiment, 19 each.

NANCY HERO'S SONS KILLED
PARIS, Sept. 22.
Widespread rejoicing was caused In
Paris today by reports Indicating that
the famous Cathedral at Rhelms had
escaped Irreparable destruction under
tho German bombardment of tho town
and can be lostorcd, though seriously
damaged.
The magnificent windows are all
smashed, according to officers who ar
rived from the front, and ruin has been
spread In the Interior by bursting shells,
but the walls stand unbroken, though
scarred In many places.
Among tho superstitious hope of ulti
mate French victory in tho war Is In
creased by tho fact that the statue of
Joan of Arc, which stands before the
facade, escaped serious damage.
T.(lNnn' Sunt. 5?.
I - .. .-, r
That thero Is an Intention on the part
jf tho German military experts to en
deavor to raze tho entire city of Khelms
Is believed here. It Is claimed tho Gen
eral Stuff now realises the great strategic
mistake made when the Germans with
drew from that city, and that they are
willing to go to any lngth to retuke it.
In describing the conditions In Rhelms,
tho Dnliy Telegraph corespondent says
that there Is hardly a house In the neigh
borhood ot tho cathedral that escaped
damage. Continuing, ho says:
Tho masonry of the cathedral Is
chipped and many of the carved fig
ures and gargoyles have been broken
off. In tho doorway still stands the
crippled beggar crippled In 1S70-who
has remained at his post .through a
rain of flying splinters and dust,
pebbles and glass. Fifty shells found
lodgment In the Interior, but tho stone
work withstood tho concussion of their
explosion.
The building can probably bo restored,
according to this correspondent, ns tho
shell lire seems no longer to be directed
townrd It, but, of course, Its priceless
decorations are rulwd for nil time.
UOMi;, Sept. 22 (By way of Paris).
When Informed of the destruction ot
tho Cathedrnl of Rhelms, Pope Benedict
XV said ho "could not bellevo It possible
In such a civilized epoch as the 20th
century to bo plunged back to the time
of Attila."
The Pontiff requested that Cardinal
Ferrata ask Cardinal Ametto, Archbishop
of Paris, for full particulars, ns tele
grams for Rhelms aro not accepted.

RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 22.-A queer
assortment of articles havo passed
through the Richmond postofflco by" way
of tho parcel post, but the most curious
shipment yet received arrived a few
days ago In tho shape of a peculiarly
constructed papier-macho coop contain
ing 50 newly hatched chickens.
This unusual consignment through
Undo Snm nttracted much attention, and
a few favored visitors nt the Federal
building were allowed the privilege of
seeing thr "blddle3."
While It is strictly against tho parcel
post rules to accept lio fowls for ship
ment, this coop, about IS Inches squarf
nnd divided Into two compartments, with
sufficient openings to allow light nnd
air, was allowed admittance to the malls
at n postofhee In Russell County. Its
destination was a point In Lancaster
County, a Journey from tho extreme
Southwestern portion of the State to the
extromo Eastern.
Tho chicks passed through the Rich
mond office while being transferred from
one train to nnother. Despite their long
trip the half hundred chirping, fuzy
creatures were In good condition, und,
barring any mishap, should reach their
destination in as good shars as when they
were mailed.
Being a violation of the postal Itws.
the shipment would ordinarily have been
returned to tho sender, hut when it
renched the hand3 of postmaster Thorn
ton's subordinates, and the error of ac
cepting It discovered, It was decided to
allow It to continue to the end of its
Journey, for fear the chickens Tvould die
If returned to Rusfcll County.
However, Assistant Postmaster W.
Ross Southward said the department at
Washington will be notified, nnd, no
doubt, the action of the postmaster In
Russell in accepting thn coop as mail
matter will lw the subject of Inquiry.

and watched her cut up for a few min

"Huh, look heah, white man, you tell
