It would be used to repay a similar loan obtained from the government at'the close of federal control. ‘The application recites that in set- tling accountss with the road the di- rector general of railroads withheld $16,997,642 from sums due the car- rier under the guarantee, setting off that amount against additionss and betterment items charged against the road for the control period. * T Great Northern sought to have the government carry this obligation, but was denled, as no funds were avail- abl The director general has. as- sured the carrier, the application ada- ed, ‘that in event of a change of policy and funds were made available, he would refund the withheld sum in whole or part, the sum which the direc- nk. | tor general withheld to reinfburse the government for additions and better- ments made to the road. of real saving as $14.75 $95.00 1 Dresse 4 Coats and Capes—being broken sizes of many lots.” S also Satin and Taffeta. s B e e .

The camelots do all sorts of errand- boy work for the royalist organiza- tion, and sometimes, as in the affair of the cabaret, go out with their canes and make a row when they find something they particularly dislike. And there is an organization of Young Ladies of the King, and therec' is a royalist stratum of fashionable French soclety which gives royal tea parties. Then there is, of cours the royalist political organization. And above thenr all, subject only to his beloved vereign, is M. Leon Daudet. He writes elegantly and vi- tuperatively every day against the government and democracy. It is said that he fears assassination; at least, it impossible for any one mnot personally introduced to see him. Hi; Secretary says curtly to any one ing for an interview: “I have instruc- tions to refuse all requests in crudef language. The other day a man was arrested for hissing M. Daudet on the street. And when the police got him safely locked up they found that he was him- Only he was you must know, if you are in- ted in kings and would-be kings, that it is only one branch of the roy- alists that “calls” M.
