Nor is this all. Ai Columbus, Oct. 14, Gov. Cox said: “I charge that Senator Harding is backed { by the anti-Federal Reserve party, whose real purpose is to destroy the greatest piece of financial legislation adopted by the Congress of the United States in half a century.” And now comes the announcement of Senator Curtis, Republican whip, after a protracted confer- ance with the President-elect, that he will urge in’ the Senate vital amendments to the Federal Reserve plan. In place of the twelve regional banks he would have established a central bank, of which the present “regional banks would become mere sub- sidiary branches. Of course this is nothing more nor less than the repudiated scheme of the Aldrich Monetary Com- mission, expressly designed to dam up the Nation's liquid credits in ait Eastern financial reservoir. Such an institution would almost certainly fall under the autderatic control of selfish banking inter- ests, fo the material disadvantage of the borrowing |. public.

UDRUN was the daughter of Hettel, the King of North Ger- many, who won his wife Hilde by kidnapping her and then fighting her father, Gudrun was so beautiful that he was pestered with many suitors. Principal among these were Siegfried, King of Moorland, Hartmut, hetr to the Kingdom of Burgundy, and Herwig, King of Zealand. Hettel, however, deciding that his daughter was yot too young to marry, disi sult, Herwig was loved by Gudrun. Strong in this love, he remembered | how Hettel had won his own bride ind determined to follow his ex So he Ynvaded Hettel's Kingdom au a battle took place, Gudrun torn be- tween two loves beseeched them to vease, and they willingly assented for brave warrior and he had no desi: to slay hié future father-in-law, atter authorizing their marriage ihe end of @ year, expired, how- Before the year wus ever, Siegfried, jealous of big rival's successful wooing, invaded Zealand, and Herwig reinforced by Hettel started out to repel the invaders. And then came the crowning misfo: gaged Hartmut, the thir suitor, tak- ing advantage of the situation car- ried off Gudrun and her attendants/ ‘o his realm of Normandy, ‘The news of this instantly stopped jail fighting In Zealand, where Herwig, Hettel and Siegfried united their forces and set out in pursuit of the Normans, whom they overtook in a place called Wulpensand. Here as jiong as light lasted they fought a most terrific battle. Hettel was slain jand many of his men, and on the morrow the small force left at the disposal of Herwig and Siegfried was unable to prevent the Normans from embarking and sailing home. Sadly the two youths returned to their country. So frightful had been the slaughter in their armies that it | was impossible for them to raise an- ther force sufficient to invade Nor- mandy and they were therefore obliged to wait for the rise of another generation: In the mean fime, Gudrun had reached Normandy. But in spite of ier seemingly hopeless position she was adamant in refusing to marry Hartmut, ‘The latter knew how use- jess it would be to use force for once vefore she had thrown herself over- board rather than submit to him, So ve delivered her to his mothe", hop- ing that womanly persuasion would succeed where the arguments of men had failed.
