THEY HAVE PLENTY TO SPEND

Written for the Sunday Standard
New York, July 26.-Both at home and
abroad the lavish way in which Ameri-
can millionaires scatter their wealth has
been gratefully acknowledged by trades
men, large and small. This is a democrat
ic country, but our moneyed men have
certainly acquired royalty's taste for eX-
pensive living. We have palaces in this
country that the kings and queens of the
old world would consider fit abodes for
the mightiest monarch. and our men of
vast means lack nothing that ROYALTY
enjoys beyond empty honors.
Nor does the wealth of these rulers of
nations surpass that of some of our rich
citizens. The Queen of England. though
the ruler of the biggest and richest en-
pire the world has ever seen. is by no
means the richest person on the earth In
fact her salary, 81. 925.00 a year. is one of
the smallest paid to any ruler on the
globe. And of the 81. 925, 900 all except $3.50

master of the horse and the lord treas
urer, who are responsible for the mainte-
nance of the royal household. And of the

The struggle between the colonies

ships as could be found in our ports

posed for the most part of crank, clum-

made commander-in-chief. On the 18th
of February, 1916. the first American
squadron cleared for sea, sailing TO the
south.
The intention was to proceed against

quantity of ammunition.
The assault was made about mid
night, n by morning the intrepid
Yankee was ready to give battle to a
1O-gun brig which, with a convoy of
five merchantmen, appeared off the
harbor. After a brief but fierce en-
gagement the English vessel struck her
colors and Rathburne overhauled and
captured the traders, one by one, at
his leisure. Two of these he burned
when he had distributed their cargo
amongst the other three.
