RIB LAKE, Wis, July 2o.-The
mystery Of why Louis r. Patmont.
the disappearing preached, left
Detroit will probably always re-
main mystery. Today have
had an extended conversation
with the victim Of the Illinois
kidnapping who disappeared from
Detroit five weeks ago, and he
does not know the most essential
points in the story Of his own
travels. That he has been In ST.
Louis, Minneapolis and Duluth he
does know, but merely remembers
passing through those cities and
cannot tell where he got the
money to pay his railway fare.
Here, In brief, 10 the best infor-
nation that anyone has been able
TO get from him: He left Detroit
OF his own free Will. He was not
kidnapped. He is now in a ner-
Vous physical state resembling
acute hysteris. The causes Of his
present condition no one tries 20
explain. His friends think his
mind has partially given away as
a result Of his experience in Dan
vile and vicinity, where he claims
to have been kidnapped.

Her Soldiers Shorter

From the New York Times.
 The new recruiting law of the Aus- tro-Hungary forces stipulates a height of at least feet for men to be enlisted in the ordinary rank and file of the territorial forces of the navy, while for those men who will work in the work shops or arsenals or in the offices as clerks, the minimum height will be 1 inch less than feet Furthermore, the new requirements pay increased atten- ton to be antecedents of the men, es- pecially tho mental history and a his- tory of previous epileptic attacks or mental stability will make the man ineligible for service. In the last year. when. owing to the uncertainty of the political situation, preparations for war included the recruiting of large num- bers of men from apparently underfed districts. 1t was noted that persons otherwise quite healthy did not reach the height limit. These would be lost If the old law should continue in force.
 At any rate" says the Vienna cor respondent of the Journal of the Amer lean Medical association, "even with the new law, the supply of men capable for service Is but sparingly drawn on, not even l per cent of the population of peace, while for war about per cent 50000000 being under arms in time of war are available"

New York; July 1.-(Special) )-Among the other surmised explanations for the failure of H. B. Claflin & Co.,, Is oc- casionally heard the suggestion that It may have been in part due to the heavy exportation of gold had absolutely States since the first of the year. Ths suggestion causes the foreign exchange experts to smile They insist that the exportation of gold had absolutely nothing to do in influencing the crisis which H. B. Claflin was unable to meet, They do say that one of the reasons for the high quotations for foreign exchange which have made possible the exportation of gold Is to be found in the Canadian situation. For reasons which seem expedient In Canada there have been large purchases of foreign exchange in the New York market. And this has tended to maintain the high quotation.
 How large the amount Is none of the authorities ventures to guess. But the aggregate must be considerable.
 There is one feature of this exporta- tion of gold which Is of peculiar in- terest, and that Is the manner in which gold Is taken from the subtreasury to the convenient yard and there packed for shipment to Europe If these bars were delicate cut glass ware they could rot be packed with greater care or with more skillful workmanship. They are SC arranged and so nestled in substances which will not produce any abrasion as to make it certain that they will arrive at their destination without ap- preciable loss. The bars will be weighed and tested abroad and will be found to be substantially of the same value as they were when transferred from the subtreasury to the artisans who slxillfully packed them in the boxes.
 At other times when there has been a large shipment of gold from this city to Europe the rear windows oi the old Gallatin bank, which gave 2 clear vista of the subtreasury yard have been thronged with those who were interested in this packing process That is no longer possible Another of the mechanical features of this move ment of gold is the thorough guarding r1hi<-i~- tha boxes receive from the tir1, they leave the subtreasury, yard til they are placed in the steamship vaults If they were jewels they could not b' nore thoroughly protected.
