1t Is believed here that Emperor
William of Germany may be in con-
tempt with the supreme court OF the
state of New York. Whether he is
aware OF this or not is not likely,
however, to cause him any consider
able amount of worry. This pecu-
liar situation arises from the fact
that some one in Germany. presum-
ably the emperor. is responsible for
the calling to their colors OF two
German captains from this country.
The captains are the husbands OF
two daughters OF doctor and a
chemist who died couple OF years
ago. leaving a large estate. His will
authorized his executors to rent his
city house to his unmarried children
until 1881 at an annual rental OF
$1,000. At the end OF that period
the executors could sell the property
to any Of the children for $4,000.
Just before the war began general
legal mixup started due to the eff
forts OF a third married daughter to
secure the residence, her claim be-
ing disputed by a son. the only un-
married child. To settle the quee-
tion one of the executors brought
action in the supreme court to con-
strue the will. The two captains
were important witnesses, and by re-
moving them from the jurisdiction
of the court after the action had
started. 1t is held that either the
on, poror or h{a agents are in con-
tempt of court. However. Just what
the court can do about 1t does not
appear.

Nelu York Finds
Economy Difficult

|tage of the smaller type OF boat was
the money saved. 1t was figured
that they would be cheaper to build
than the big boats and cheaper to
operate. When the time came to
build. however. the savings began to
vanish. The cost of 90-fcoter was
$15O,OOO. and it was believed that
the smaller boat could be built for
half this sum. As matter of fact
the Resolute cost $125.OO0, and the
cost OF the trial races far exceeded
all expectations. One man who has
seen most OF the bills estimates the
expenses at $2,50O a day for each
day yacht has been in commission.
and 1t is believed that this figure Is
not in the least excessive. A suit Of
sails cost about $4,000. and by the
end of the season each yacht has
three or four suits. $5O,0O0 is a
conservative estimate OF this item.
The payroll is another big item, for
one yacht amounting to $4,000 ex-
elusive Of the captains salary. Each
of the yachts has at least two masts.
which cost approximately $4,000
each and various extra spars costing
altogether $4,000. Every time one
of the boats was hauled out to be
cleaned the cost amounted to be-
tween $500 and $500. Altogether 1t
is good deal Of question whether
the men who put up the million and
a half dollars for these boats will
ever get one cents return from them
in the way of an international con-
test.

New York. Sept. 12.-After all the
months concerning the necessity OF
economy in the administration of
the city government, New York is
finding 1t extremely difficult to
achieve that economy. The figure
which the mayor has sent to the
board of estimate as necessary to
meet the expenses of the city for
1915 is $6O,924,O57. This repre-
sents a saving OF exactly $3.661.6s
over the budget of 1914, figure SO
small as to be entirely lost sight Of
in view of the size of the whole ap-
preparation. However. the economy
is perhaps more real than apparent
since in past years the budget has
been growing by such leaps and
bounds that the ability to get along
without an increase over the preced-
ing years expenses must be looked
upon as notable achievement.
While the appropriations for a few
of the departments show increases
these are not large. For charities
$2s2. 900 more is asked: for the de-
partment of correction $4,000: for
the department of health $4,000.
The street cleaning department tops
all others with an increase of $137.-
$50. while the park board gets the
smallest increase, amounting to only
$500. The mayor continues to sound
insistently the necessity for economy.
The developments Of the past weeks
in Europe" he says. commenting on
the budget. make imperative every
possible economy. 1t must be borne
in mind that the city may be called
upon to assist many brought to dis
tress by the unsettled conditions re-
|sulting from the European war. II
this occurs. 1t may prove necessary
to revise the estimate for the chari-
ties department" The public works.
such as the subways, already under
way, are being continued. but so
far as It is possible 1t is really be-
iieved that the country will be af-
forded the spectacle of Father Knick-
erbocker actually achieving economy
Instead Of merely talking about It.

Many persons reading the war
news from day to day have been
handicapped in understanding the
magnitude of the movement of

cause 1t Ia not a matter of general
knowledge in this country how many
men go to make up the different
army units. such as battalions. brig
AIDES and divisions in the various
foreign armies. Accordingly state
ment has been prepared which
should aid considerably in a more in
telligent understanding OF the war

smallest unit is a company comprised
of $50 men. Four companies. that
is 900 men, form battalion, and
three battalions. 5000 men. a regi-
ment. A brigade is made up of two
regiments, or 5000 men, and df,

men. The largest unit, an army
corps, comprises two infantry divf-
sions, two regiments of field artil-
lery. a total of 70 pieces, two squad
rons of cavalry, one or two batteries
of heavy field artillery. machine
| gun corps. and various companies o
pioneers and field hospital corps
making q total of 10000 men. In
the French army, a company. hattal'

Last Saturday Ducktown invaded Cop

despite this they played the CoPPerheads
TO a standstill.
In the absence of Spargo, Charley Yoder
pitched the game and the fact that they
only got five hits off of him shows that he
pitched bang,up article of ball.
1t was one of the best games that has
been played between these teams and
those who missed it ere big losers.
Had Ducktown had its regular lineup,
the result might have been differant, for
there we're several times when hit might
have changed the result.
