PARROT "TALKED TOO MUCH"
Escaped Bird Shed Light on Matter
Which Has Long, Been No Secret
In Vienna.

A story from Vienna shows how
the viennese regard the relations az
listing between the Emperor Francis
Joseph SO years old. and the Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand. the heir to
the throne.
The story goes that q policeman
recently found parrot in tree out
side the Belvedere. the Vienna palace
of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand.
As the parrot freely used the names
of various august personases. the
chief of police was informed, and he
ordered that the bird be brought be-
fore him for cross-examination. The
parrot talked freely, using the most
violent explosives, but always winding
up with the phrase: Hell live to be
a hundred"
Z Thereupon the chief Of police said
there was only one man in Vienna to
whom the parrot could belong. and
ordered that the bird be taken back
to the Belvedere.
The story is said to be very popular.
as everybody knows that the emperor
and his heir cordially dislike each
other.

Washington. = Although q world
leader in the interchange Of products
among its own people. the United
States foreign trade is far short Of its
immediate possibilities. Such is the
conclusion Of officials Of the Depart
ment Of. Commerce after study Of the
statistical, abstract OF the United
States for 1913. American home trade
at present is estimated at about $4O.-
O00.OO00OO, which is equal to the inter
national exchanges Of the world and
approximately ten times the value Of its
own foreign trade, now valued at $4.-
000. 100000.
The abstract shows that the present
American export trade OF $2,500.000.-
900 represents about $25 per capita.
A per capita basis equal to that OF
Argentina. 1t says. would raise Amerf-
can export power to $4,000. 100000 and
one equal to that Of Belgium would
bring its exports to 10000, 100000 b
year. while its aggregate Of foreign
trade. when upon a per capita basis AZ
large as Canada's, would be consider
ably over $4,000, 100000.
The United States commercial pow
er and its strong international power
Is further emphasized in the abstract.
1t shows that the United States, with
25s.000 miles OF railway, possesses
one-third Of the worlds total. It leads
in the mileage Of its telegraph lines.
performs more than one-third of the
worlds mail service on its own routes.
while its public debt Of $1,000. OOO.00
is less than that Of Italy. Austria-Hun-
gary, Spain, Germany. Australia,
Japan. Great Britain and is less than
onesixth that Of France and one
fourth that of Russia.
In the period since 1870 farm prod
ucts rose In value from $4,000. OO0, 900,
to $10,000.OOO.00O a year; the coal out
put from less than 100000 to $780,
100000 long tons; copper from $12.500
to 100000 tons: pig iron from 2.0OO.

Europe are practically at an end for

Recently, Roberts said the excellent
grain crop in this country, coupled
with the bad crop conditions In Eu-

This prediction was realized and the
