Assets Much Bigger.

The statistics relating to South Ameri-
can imports show that the banking assets
of paubury are considerably more and in
some cases many times greater than the
total value of the imports for last year
from some Of those countries. Uncle sam
imported goods and fruits. etc. from
Venezuela TO the value OF Sl0,6519S9. from
Uruguay To the value OF S2,i5Q.691. from
Peru goods worth S9666.579. from Para
quay goods valued at S5S.2s9, and from
Ecuador merchandise, etc, with a market
value of S5oG16S9.
Other interesting comparisons which
help 30 show the yigor Of the financial
centres Of Danbury may be had from the
figures relating 20 the revenues and eN-
peuditures of the Central American states

Y. NJ. c. 4. IS AN
ASSET To CITY.
Religious Secretary Says It
Is Power For Local and
World Good.

'sThe Y NJ. c. A as an Asset Of the
Community" was the subject chosen
nv Dr. Clarence A Barbour, secretary
of the religious work of the Y. NJ c. A
for his address Monday night at the
Y. NJ c. A. A large audience of men
and women heard DR.. Barbour, who is
touring the country on a visit to the
American associations.
fOur emblem, said Dr. Barbour
should be four sided rather than three
sided 1t should represent the physical
social, mental and spiritual work that
the Y. NJ. c. A. is doing. Briefly, the
Y. NJ. c, A. is trying to promote boy
hood and manhood. 1t is a salesman
and it has these four lines: physical,
mental social and spiritual goods.
"The aim of the physical department
is the cultivation of a body that is a
good servant of the man that lives in
side the body. The man must be the
master of the body, not the body
master of the man. There is no more
scientific piece of work being under
taken today than the work of the Y
NJ. c. A physical department 1t is
managed by experts and it is one of the
most important lines of goods that we
carry.
''The second line of goods is the
mind. A mans mind should work so
that he can have confidence in it's
working accurately. There are few
who know that the price of strength
is IN DdLllG. II Is through IlGnL d
continuous work that the mind is made
an asset of strength. 1t is through dis
use that it becomes flabby and weak.
One of the most important pieces of
work that the Y. NJ. c. A is doing is
the training of the mind.
Next is the social work; the third
line of goods carried. Man, and par
ticularly boy, is a gregarious animal.
Your boys are going to run in gangs;
/ do not use this word in criticism; and
they are going to have hang outs
Where are those hang outs? That is
one of the most important things for
the parents of this city to know. Ell
Paso needs a survey so as to know
where and what are these hang outs
1 do not know Of a better place for q
boy to be than in the Y. NJ c A. pro-
vided there is the right leadership
there. Let the motto over the door be
Here dwells a company of friendly
workers. The boys and the men will
then come to the Y. NJ. c. A. for their
companionship. I think I am safe in
saying that the soldiers in your city
have already realized and greatly ap-
preciate this spirit
Religious work; that is the fourth
line of goods we carry. Religion is
primary. Every race Of the earth has
the religious instinct The religious
work should be in all the work Of the
association. It should be the very
basis and it should never be lost sight
of. 1t will be a sad day for the Y. NJ.
G. A when religion ceases to be its
primary note. 1t is this that has gained
it support and that has made it not a
statewide, or nation wide, but a world
wide power for good"

ing and tile wall coping, drain and
sewer tile and all classes of building
brick will be made by the new Inter
national Brick company at It's plant
in the Cotton addition, general mana
ger S. J. Heafield says.
When the erection Of a brick plant
vas first considered by the Interha-
tional Bricklayers' union, the pam
building and finishing brick was all
that was expected to be made. AFTER
considering the market it was finally
decided, Mr.. Heafield, the general man

plant and make all kinds Of clay
products at the local factory
Many Kinds of Brick.
The matte brick which are so popular
with architects and home builders for
exterior finish, are to be made in the
new plant when it is completed. Ihese
brick will be especially desirable Tor
the exterior finish of bungalows ana
also for the building of fireplaces ana
outside chimneys. Various grades OF
front brick will be made by the plant
as well as backing brick and the
cheaper grades of building brick. All
of the sewer tile the city Will need
can be made at this plant as this class
Of clay product will be manufactured
In addition to the 100000 plant in
the Cotton addition, the new brick com
pany expects to spend $4,000 il pre-
pairing the shale and clay beds across
the river for the excavation of the raw
products which will be hauled to the
plant in southeastern FL Paso. To
carry these tons of shale and clay, 20
steel cars will be bought by the South
western railroad for the clay trains
which will be run from the shale beds
to the plant. These cars will cost $500
each and will be Of the latest model,
steel bottom dump design.
Work on the foundation will start
this month and general manager Hea-
field expects to have the plant making
brick within the next six months.

AN UNHAPPY EMPEROR AND DISTRUSTED KING

AT the beginning of the great war
ga in Europe two men who stood
"a out prominently in the epoch
* IA making developments were
Emperor Francis Joseph Of Austria and
King Peter of Seryia. The assassina-
ton of Archdllke Francis Ferdinand
and his wife was the fourth great trag-
edy in the life Of Emperor Francis Jo-
seph, now in his eighty fourth. year. 1t
was the indirect cause of what prom
ises to be the greatest war in the
worlds. history.
The beginning Of the war saw En-
peror Francis Joseph's cup of bitterness
filed. He has seen the eldest of his
three younger brothers, the Archduke
Ferdinand, the Emperor Macmillan of
Mexico, executed; his only son, the
Archduke Rudolph, die under mysteri-
Gus and scandalous circumstances. Ell
Their murdered or a suicide; his wife,
the beloved Empress Elizabeth, assas-
sinated, and now his second heir and
the latters wife assassinated.
The tragedy of Meyerling, through
which the Archduke Rudolph met his
death, has been kept as much of a mys-
terry as possible by imperial silencing.
Some historians have accepted it as an
established fact that Rudolph commit
ted suicide that night in his hunting
lodge, although admitting that the
Baroness Marie Vetzera met her death
at the hunting lodge at the same time.
From statements made at various
times by persons close to the facts it
appears to have been at least partially
established that the archduke died of q
great wound in the head made SEEM
ingly by some heavy instrument. One
anonymous writer in the Paris Temps
a few years ago gave this explanation
of the tragedy:
The archduke had gone to the hunt
ing lodge with some men friends, but
without the Baroness Vetzera, who was
q very beautiful girl Of eighteen years.
The baroness planned to surprise her
royal admirer and drove to the hunting
lodge later in the evening, passing sew
eral hours dining and talking with the
archduke and his friends. This account
Of the events Of the night omits all sug-
gestion Of any orgy. The coachnan
who drove the baroness to the hunting
lodge is quoted as having said he saw
the archduke and the baroness chatting
quietly by a window at midnight.
Then, this version OF the story runs
Count Waldstein. another admirer of
the young woman, who had been spy
ing upon her notified Count Ba1tazzi,
the baroness guardian The version
continues that these two went to the
hunting lodge together, obtained adj
mittance on pretext and entered a
room where the royal lovers were.
Then. the anonymous writer continues.
the Count Waldstein shot and killed
the girl, the archduke shot and killed
Waldstein, and the guardian, unarmed,

to the fatherland, unlinited confidence
in his chiefs strong esprit de corps and
a faculty of enduring gayly and nat
urally the greatest privations-sucha are
the most marked characteristics of the
Russian soldier says Russian gem
eral.
ITO these traits must be added re-
markable bravery and rare contempt
of death, combined with naive kind
heartedness and a gentle and indulgent
disposition. The Russian soldier is dis
tinguished by a good humor that never
abandons him even in the most difficult
moments, by his brotherly under
standing with his comrades and by his
gay and contented way of facing all the
DEGREES of fate. Obedience is so deeply
rooted in the mind of the Russian sol
der that during my thirty years ex-
perience in the army do not remem-
Der to have witnessed one single case

peace or in times Of war;"
Russia Eager For Fray.
Russia aspires to be the protector Of
the Slav people, and, while she has hith-
erto failed to play that role with any
great degree of glory, she still clings to
it. 1t was to her that Servia looked for

order Of human beings. Accustomed to
communistic government, they can
obey or command, as the occasion re-
quires They are both prudent and
brave-prudent because they are ac-
quainted with danger and brave be-
cause bravery is part Of their creed.
'The army may sleep in safety when
Cossacks are at the outposts,'' is COM
mon Russian saying, for they scent
danger affair off and are supposed to be
secure against surprises, One proni-
nent feature of the Cossack character
which strikes one as being strangely at
variance in conjunction with their i'm
dependence and self reliance is their
superstitious faith in all manner of
signs and omens, and the most trivial
act of every day life is usually pref
aced by prayer.
In actual warfare the larger part of
the scouting service and Of the cavalry
outpost duty falls TO the share of the
Cossacks. They carry orders and dis
patches, act as orderlies to officers and
perform all kinds Of useful services,
Whenever man is needed for any
thing outside ordinary camp duties a
Cossack is sure to be summoned.
Wherever the advance guard of infan-
try penetrates it is sure to find that the
Cossacl<s have already left their mark.
for they had, if they do not retain, the
activity Of true pioneers and all the
restlessness of savages.
Such are the Cossacks, and as such
they of all the troops of the Russian
army welcome war, since it will enable
them to rub off the rust Of years of
peace, for the Russian makes no secret
of the fact that they are not what they
were a century ago. or when all Europe
rang with their fame after the great
part they played during the retreat
from Moscow of the grand army Of Ma
poleon in 1872. Races of warlike people
| all the world over who have enjoyed a
| long period of peace and turned their
swords into plowshares must lose some
portion of that military instinct which
was formerly part of their nature. In
days gone by the Cossacks, forever con-
tending with the Tartars, continually
engaged in forays and raids. became so
entirely a warrior race that the part Of
their lives not spent in war was passed
4 in military exercises
!, But now, except in such circum-
stances as those Of the present war,
the Cossack does not live to fight. He
passes peaceable existence on the
land he cultivates for the support of his
family and when called out for military
exercise no longer employs his ancient
tactics. but is taught in the same man
ner as the regular troops. He has
thus to some extent lost those especial
qualities which formerly distinguished
/ him The CacSaaLy T1c ct wa 9
an Incompatible irregular soldier, but a
process of somewhat injudicious dra-
/ gooning has gone far TO make him only
an Indifferent regular. The next few
weeks or months will show whether the
traditions and instincts of his ancestry
may not, after ALL be stronger than the
cramping influence Of the barracks.
