Old siqns Of War.

There are more ways OF telling that
a war is on in Europe than by the
increased cost OF foodstuffs. Reserv-
lists in the United States and Canada
are finding 1t difficult to obtain insur-
ance before they enlist. Not one OF
the big New York insurance COM
panies is looking for that kind OF bust
ness. though at least two OF them

Yassing military encampments or re-

cepted only when offered in the city
which is actually the residence of the
insured.

NEW YORK DAY BY DAY.
BY CHARLES HENRY ADAMS.
New York Could Send Biq Army.

1t is stated upon reliable authority
that there are sufficient men Of foreign
birth who are subject to service abroad
In New York City to equip an army
big enough TO patrol the border OF
Holland. OF course such an army
would be made up Of men OF all ma
tionalItIes. but the fact that so large
number Of men Is 10 be found in
just one city is something OF an eye
opener TO American citizens. There
are said TO be in the entire United
States one million men subject to
service in foreign armies. This means
that right here on American soil is
on army equal almost to that OF Aus
tro-Hungary. And most Of them are
eager to get across the ocean and take
part in the fighting that Is going on
over a large area OF Europe.

SOME ANCIENT HISTORY.

Judge ]. T. Maloney, in looking
through some of the old records at
the court house, ran across the record
relative to the incorporation of Bryan.
which will no doubt be OF interest to
the older citizens, especially those
who lived here at that time. The pc
tition for Incorporation was igned by
S. d. Conger and twenty-seven other
citizens of the. village of Bryan, and
is recorded is minute book A, page
ia. The election on the question OF
incorporation. which carried was held
on March %, 1867.

American, Glad to Get Home.

The comparatively few Americans
who have been fortunate TO get home
from Europe tell remarkable stories
OF their experiences abroad. some OF
which are amusing. while others are
most distressing. The great difficulty
OF tourists who are yet pened up In
the various countries affected by the
war seems TO be to get something
to eat There are many instances
where women state that they we're
stalled in trains and compelled to exist
merely on a cup OF coffee for two days
or more, not being allowed to dis
mount at railway stations to get a
meal. This is due to the fact that In
many Instances all hotels. clubs. etc.
where meals are being served. have
been taken over by the governments
under which they exist, and In turn
devoted to the use Of the troops be-
ing modified for the big war.

means for raising money from the

very heavy even before Mexico had
a revolution, has been doubled recent
ly Every bill for merchandise, every
check to pay such bills, every page

money received in sums exceeding
five pesos. every real estate transfer,

the government many thousands of
dollars day.

OF late President Huerta has gone
out of his way many times to show
courtesy to Americans. He says that
he likes Americans and always has a
good word for them. He always
speaks pleasantly of President VIII

discussing Wilson's antagonism to

also of his countrymen, and he takes
