New York.—A special train carrying $50,000.000 lu treasure, one third lu gold and two thirds lu securities, whk-ii had been shipped by the Bank o f Eng land from London via Halifax to this city, arrived at the terminal of the American Express coaipuuy at Thirty- third street uud Tenth avenue lu sev en steel car* garrisoned by forty arm ed men. The treasure crossed the Atlantic In it battle cruiser accompanied by a flo tilla o f torpedo bout destroyers. The gold, which Is worth about $20.- 000,000, wulghs approximately seven ty-lire tons. The cost o f shlpptug It to this country. In the upkeep of the naval forces, lu the elaborate guard maintained on its railway journey and In loss o f Interest Is sakl to amount to about $170,000. When the armed train left Halifax It was preceded by a pilot engine for tho purpose o f testing bridges and trestles and to frustrate any attempt to wreck the treasure cars by dyna mite. This precaution wus suggested by tho exploit o f Werner Horn, the Herman reservist, who attempted to blow up tho St. Croix River Interna tional bridge on Feb. 2 to stop ship ments o f munitions for the allies from tms country to Canada over the Cana- •I ion Pacific railroad. News o f the arrival o f the greatest enrgo o f treasure ever carried by a single ship did not get out o f Halifax because o f the rigor o f the British censorship. It wus learned, however, that before the treasure had been land ed one day's delay ensued, for the rea son that Admiral Beatty had orders to deliver the shipment directly to the American Express company, which Imd no offices o f ita own in Halifax and was represented there by the Do minion Express company. Admiral Beatty cabled back for instructions and was ordered to make the delivery to the Dominion Express company. In this case one day's delay means a cost o f thousands o f dollars. The In terest on the valuable shipment at 5 per cent would be $2,730 a day. which was lost. The cost o f keeping the fleet on the errand for an extra day and the expense o f maintaining the express company's train and guard was h I so a heavy one. BUG IN TAILOR’S EAR.

Chicago, Aug. 23. —William J. Bryan, former secretary o f state, tonight gave out a signed state ment here, in part as follows: “ I have read the editorial opin ions concerning the sinking o f the Arabic, as those opinions were re produced in the papers, but they seem to me to avoid the most im portant question. The real ques tion is not whether American cit izens have, under international law, a right to travel through the danger zone on the ships o f belli gerent nations. That is admitted. “ The question just now is whether an American citizen should put his convenience, or even his rights, above his nation's wel fare. I f American citizens refuse to consider their own safety or the safety o f the nation, then a sec ond question arises, whether the government should permit a few persons to drag the country into this unparalled war.” WE EN JO Y CHILDREN IN OUR S TO R E .

Savannah, Ga.—Dr. Joseph Goldberg- er. In charge o f pellagra research work for the public health service, an nounced that experiments conducted at the Georgia and Mlsslsslpl state sanl- larlums have confirmed the theory that pellagra is caused by eating too much starchy food. According to Dr. Goldberger, experl- menta have proved the theory conclu sively. He added that It had been de- termined that the disease was not con, taglous. "W h ile pellagra is more prevalent In the south than in the north, there Is just ns much a posstbiity o f the re- verse." said Dr. Goldberger.
