BELFAST, ireland. December 4, 1905.
The name of Mai Gen. Robert Ross of
the British army, naturally is not held in
az high esteem IN the United States as it
Is IN County Down Ireland, his birthplace.
Born in 1866 he entered the British army
IN attaining manhood and served in Hol-
land. Egypt Italy and in the penlnsular
campaign. On the close of this campaign,
IN 1914, he was sent with four oattalions
Of his veterans to harry the shores of
Chesapeake Bay. He defeated Gen. Win
der and a force of unframed American
militia at Bladeusburg, captured Washing
ton, and Gisgraced his victory by burning
the unfinished capitol and the White House.
Thence he proceeded against Baltimore and
was MORALLY wounded while riding to the
attack al the head Of his troO-s.
The imposing obelisk to his memory
stands in conspicuous position near the
family seat. RostrevOr House. County

RAISES COST OF BEER
German People Are Exercised
Over Taxation Scheme. \

Special CablegrGm to The Star.
BERLIN, December 23.-The economic
situation in Germany continues decidedly
mixed. While it is true that the govern
ment itself is in a bad way and has been
obliged to resort almost to extremities to
raise money for necessary expenses, 1t Is
also true that Industrial Germany has been
making giant strides. The situation briefly
stated Is about this; The government it
self is practically bankrupt but industrially
along certain lines the Germans are max
ing as much or more progress than any
other nation in the world.
1t is difficult TO analyze situation like
this. About all that can be done is to give
specific instances and allow students to-
draw their own deductions For instance,
the English board of the Buenos Ayres
Great Southern Railway Company, who
have recently placed orders FOR 100 locomo-
tives, are having twenty of the number built
in Germany. The secretary of the COM
pany states that the price quoted by the
German firm is % per cent lower. than that
OF any English firm and that quicker de-
livery can be obtained. The firm is one of
high standing, and there have been previous
satisfactory dealings with this company.
Increases in Taxation.
1t is noteworthy that while the announce
nlent OF the proposed great increase in the
expenditure on the navy was received with
very, little adverse criticism, except as was
to have been expected from the social DEM
ocrats. the new budget of imperial taxation

Antique card tables are much sought
after, especially those of the Louis epoch.
They were most in use during all the eight

auiuncts of every salon. During this period
the gambling fever ran high. Many men

Progress of Reform.
During the next ten years the work OF
building up strong national army pros
crossed without interruption. In 1868 a conn.,
plete scheme of military organization was
promulgated, and the troops were armed
with the famous needle gun. In 1860 n
standing camp of instruction was establish
ed at Moldavia. From that time on the
upbuilcinG of the army has been rapid and
successful. The Importance OF holding an
nual maneuvers has always been recognized
by King Charles and the practice has
never been interrupted except in years Of
abnormal financial stress. The district Sc
lected for this years operations was in the
extreme north of Moldavia. between Doro-
hoi on the north and Harlan on the south;
the ground being admirably suited for the
purpose, being open and Uudulating with
wide fields and downs ,interspersed with
forests. The troops employed were the
seventh and eighth divisions, composing the
fourth or northern Moldavian army corps,
numbering altogether about 80 Coo men. The

character which reflected great credit upon
