Some years ago Chau- temps’ sister had been married to a certain M. Adam, prefect of Provins. At that time Pressard lived in Provins and was active socially in that beauti- ful and historic town. He made himself popular by brilliant receptions. Among The scandal broke when the Ger- man mark went sliding down until a dollar would purchase a billion or! more. Loans and subsidies were called in (1924) and the Barmats “covered” themselves by bringing out. ali the facts which involved so many German political figures that it was not unlike the Stavisky case in France. However, unlike Stavisky, none of the Barmats died or committed sui- cide. Their international connections, they found, could be made useful to the German government. They built the guests at these receptions was Ma- dame Adam, wife of the prefect and sister of Camille Chautemps. Then one day Prefect Adam was reported missing. Later his body was found on @ railroad track, mangled almost beyond recognition, having been run over by several trains. Three months later Pressard married the Widow Adam. The similarity between the Prince murder and the death of Prefect Adam was too obvious not to start tengues wagging. Furthermore Press- ard was the gentleman who profited most by the “silencing” of Counsellor Prince. Furthermore again, it was brought out in the interrogations that Prince and Pressard were on unsat- isfactory terms. They had had words. And Albert Prince's famous reports to Lescouve accused Pressard directly of Protecting Stavisky. Maffia! Grand Orient! Ven- detta! What of the eight men whose lives had been lost? The evidence against Pressard and against’ the Lodge was nothing mere than cir- cumstantial. There was, really no evidence at all that could tie up the Prince case—and yet the parallel was st : Nor did the charges and insinua- tions against the secret order stop there. It was shown that Aristride Briand was a Mason of the Lodge. There is still in France a faction which hates Briand and lays at his oor all the unfortunate international. complexities into which France has been drawn. This same faction sees Germany and Italy as powers hostile to the very essence of France, sees France disarmed and feeble against the rising tide of Hitlerism and Italian Fascism, helpless and a prey to these jealous nations. And they blame Briand for the idealism he showed at Geneva. The point is not whether France should arm against a German or an_ Italian and the forces of the Left. Operated Vast Espionage Ring From this state of mind it is not a far jump to associate the astonish- ingly broad activities of international espionage and the spy rings which have been revealed recently in France, nor yet the newly discovered traffic in arms. And Stavisky’s name once again bubbles up through the net- or perfected their branches and serv- \itors for the purpose of securing vital |information concerning armaments | and political secrets in countries indi- ated by the German foreign office. ;It was Barmat money for instance, | | movement against French domin ; tion and in favor of German culture. 1, was Barmat money that stirred up powerful German sentiment in the | Ruhr, paid by Stressemun and abet- ted by Von Papen. Arrested in connection with the ex- change scandals, Julius and Henri Barmat were released provisionally after five months detention. They created @ merchant marine for Lith- uania, they floated companies in ; Switzerland, and they came to France to find more opportunities. That was the time taey met Sta- v re Julius Barmat, in France, needed @ finger in the politico-social pie. To jget it he needed an introduction. Stavisky gave him Guibaud-Ribaud He got what he wanted. All that is accurately known of the relations of these two crooks, Stavisky |and Julius Barmat, is that they plan- ned an international group) which was calculated tn overshadow the biggest in Europe. Their plans were carefully and well laid, but there came a dissension between the two. Stavisky, it appears was too im- Patient. His method was the hit-and run system. “Find ’em, fool ‘em and forget ’em” was his motto. Barmat wanted really to create a bank and make huge volumes of money, more or less honestly. Stavisky thought that was just too bad. He rather despised any such concession to regu- larity. He rather dispised Julius Bar- mat for this “weakness.” I cannot refrain, however, from pointing out the self-evident fact that the “weak” Barmat .is alive today and has the comforts of money while Stavisky is merely a legend and bad news to a lot of people. Plotters Together Again But in 1932 and 1933 Stavisky and Barmat got together again. Their methods were dissimilar, but they needed each other. It was inevitable that they associate. At a conference in the Grand Hotel, Paris, Julius Bar- mat and Stavisky had already made Plans, but these were disarranged by, the untimely arrest of Barmat for swindles in Switzerland. But the new plans bore fruit, or 0 it appears, Nobody knows precisely what Sta- visky and Barmat arranged between them in the Grand Hotel. Conclu- sions drawn by the Paris press and its public are purely hypotheses, but they are based upon a tempting sys-' tem of circumstances. It is alleged longing is @ part of the Stavisky-Barmat, gtoup. It is alleged that in Paris Stavisky supported an important] night club and @ more or less secret! cabaret where diplomats of various, nations were wont to find relaxation, It is alleged that the beautiful Rita Georg and the exciticg Marianne Kupfer were artists not Stavisky’s theatre, the Empire, and found there was some fire where smoke showed so plainly. Marianne Kupfer’s permit to act in France had been secured for her by the influence of Albert Dubarry, Stavisky's editor of La Volonte. Rita Georg’s rela- tions with foreign men of importance, while not incriminating, were curious. And even Luciene Boyer, the famous creator of “Parlez-moi d'amour” at whose night club I first saw Serge Alexandre, had been something more than a friend to the Romagnini family before being something more than highly appreciated by the son of a certain foreign diplomat. I could easily write more in this connection. I could name many nemes that are currently associated with the espionage charge. There is for jinstance Lieutenant Froge, recently ‘traffic that had just been revealed in France—40,000 rifles were taken ‘from Communist homes in a recent ‘raid and more discovered later—and ‘show plenty of reason to associate it ‘with Stavisky'’s operations, or if you ilike the word better, the maffia. But ithese things have not been proved. The investigation is far from com- arrested. I could bring in the arms-; things. is a history and not a news article, not a political polemic. Still these suggestions may give more interest to subsequent publications by the news- Papers of the world. Twins Check Blues’ Ninth-Inning Rally St. Paul, Aug. 11.—()—The three Northern Baseball League leaders held their respective positions Satur- day as they chalked up victories in Friday's games. Bert Zahn checked a Superior ninth-inning rally with two runs, giving the Fargo-Moorhead Twins a 5-4 triumph and a sweep of its three- game series, Anderson's homer in the fifth in- ning threw the Grand Forks-Duluth game into a tie, and it wasn’t until the 10th inning that a line drive with the bases loaded gave the Grand Forks aggregation a 9-to-7 victory. Crookston pounded out 11 runs in the first two innings and then slid cL to a 14-to-2 victory over Eau Brainerd scored a 10-to-5 victory over Winnipeg, garnering 13 hits off Bertrand in the doing.

FUKORE OVER NOTHING New York.—The city children’s hos- Pital on Randall's Island was, as they say, in a furore. Four boys were reported to have escaped to the Bronx shore on a raft. A general police alarm was sound- ed in the Bronx, a police launch was called, railroad police were notified ‘at the yard in which the boys were supposed to have landed. Then the boys walked into the hospital—they had been working in the tomato patch—it must have been four other boys. intent ciate PEND | Church Notices ST. GEORGE'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH Rev.
