JUMP IN BUSINESS
DURING PAST WEEK

In an interview with a reporter of
The Tribune T. q. Gaddis of the Bet
tilyon Home Builders company, says
that business during the past week
the firm had anticipated. In fact it
was one of the best weeks this COM
pany has experienced in the last twelve
months. 4 number Of important sales
were reported, and there are bright
prospects for good business the COM
ing week. as number Of deals are
now pending, which will very likely
be closed within the next few days,
Mr.. Gaddis adds.
He saws there is great deal of in
terest being manifested by prospective
home builders, and the company IS
planning to take care of the increas-
ing number OF contracts which it is
receiving for the erection of modern
bungalows.
The Bettilyon company reports the

The importation of ichthyol, Pc
culiar asphaltic material found in Aus
tria, which finds application after ap-
propriate chemical treatment as a very
important medicament, has been, along
with many other products, cut off by
the war. The raw material comes from
a fossiliferous deposit near Seefeld, in
the Austrian Tyrol. 1t is carefully Sc
lected and subjected to dry distillation.
The distillate thus obtained is then
sulphonated and subsequently neutral
lied with ammonia. The use of this
material has greatly increased in the
last few years, and it has proved very
beneficial Almost Immediately follow
ing the beginning of the war its price
doubled, going to over so cents an
ounce Already, however, a firm in st.
Louis has material on the market,
which has been favorably recommend
ed as an efficient substitute, closely re-
sembling ichthyol itself.-United

The trouble was that, though the

was intervening great range of hills

The Terrible War Bill.

The wars of Napoleon in 10 years
cost France 0OO,O00,0O0 Our Civil
war expenditure of the federal govern
ment amounted to $1,000, 100000, or
nearly 10 times as much a year as Ma
poleon's The Franco-German was cost
France $3.50, 100000, besides an added
war indemnity of $1,000, 100000. This
same great war, which lasted only
100 days, cost Germany $450, 100000 for
an average fighting force Of 1,250,000
men. The other big European war of
the past half century, the Russo-Turk-
ish war, cost Russia s7S6,140,000, but
she had two years fighting for her
money. The war in the far East cost
Japan $650,000,000 and Russia $723,-
100000, not counting lost ships. Only
towards the end had either side any
thing like a million men in the field.

BERLIN OFTEN TAKEN
GERMAN CAPITAL FOUR TIMES
OCCUPIED BY ENEMY.
Most Severe Blow Was During tho
Thirty Years War-captured by
the Austrians in 1757-When
Napoleon Entered.

OF the capitals of the nations now al
war in Europe, Berlin, in times past,
has suffered most at the hands of for.
eign troops.
In all warfare, the capital Of the
country invaded is usually the object
i've of the hostile action. Our own cap
ital at Washington suffered at the
hands of the British in the war of 1872.
Since 1448 Berlin has been the seat OF
the HohenzolIerns and has been occu-
pied four times by the forces of an in
vading enemy.
During the Thirty years war the
city was practically RACED to the
ground. About one hundred years la
ter, in 1867, it was taken by the Aus
TRANS. They did no harm TO the city,
as they received a ransom of 100000
thalers-about s1,125,O00.
At the end of the disastrous Jena
campaign the capital of Germany fell
into the hands of the French in 1906.
1t was occupied by the troops of Ma
poleon for two years. When Prussia
and Russia allied in 1912 Berlin was
again taken by the Little Corporal"
and was held for year.
Next to Berlin Paris has suffered
most at the hands of hostile troops
In March, 1874, the allied armies
which had opposed Napoleon took the
capital of France and held it for two
months. A year later, at the end Of
n no 10 ri fu 90 in,
into the hands Of the enemy.
The Germans were anxious to blow
up the Arch de Triomphe, which cele-
brated the victory of the French at
Jena, but the British we're opposed to
it and saved the arch.
After long siege by the Germans in
1870 Paris was again occupied by hos
tile troops. This time much damage
was done to the city Many of the prin-
cipal buildings were destroyed OF
burned, and for several months the
Notifications around the city were
held by the kaiser's soldiers.
Since it became the capital of Eng
land, London has never been occupied
by foreign troops, nor even has been
threatened by them. 1t was held by
Danish and Roman invaders before
England, as a nation, came into exist
ence But since the time of the Nor
mans the English capital has never
been threatened.
Before the present struggle Brussels,
had not been held by foreign troops, as
the integrity of Belgium was pre-
served in the struggle of 1870.
ST. Petersburg, or Petrograd, as it is
now called, has been too far removed
from the center of activities in Euro
pean warfare to have suffered at the
hands of an invading enemy.
Moscow has been the objective point
of troops invading Russia In 1871 and
1891 it was taken by the Tartars of the
Crimea and destroyed. In 1912 Napo-
leon made it the object of his invasion
of Russia and aided in its destruction,
the Russians themselves had
done much to destroy the city before
the enemy arrived.
