AUSTRIAN YOUTHS IN WAR

The Austrian newspapers are devot-
ing considerable space at present to
the part played by schoolboys in the
present war. They are affectionately
termed the war boys" and in the OPP
erations in eastern Galicia they were
of great assistance to the troops.
In some of the artillery battles. es-
pecially those which centered around
Czernovitz and Weinberg, schoolboys
in large numbers braved the shells and
carried water and ammunition for the
troops.
After a battle they would go over the
field and gather pieces of shrapnel and
the shells of cartridges to be made
over again into ammunition. Occa-
sionally a boy thus sacrificed his life
but this did not deter the ardor OF his
companions.
Many of the boys followed the in.
fantry regiments and fought and slept
with the soldiers in the trenches. The
boys who remained at home took the
place OF their fathers and brothers who
were at the front.
The story is told of fourteen-year-
old youngster who all alone managed
the biggest hotel in Czernovitz. He
looked personally after his own cashier
and bookkeeper. Other boys peddled
goods among the soldiers and so
earned a good living for their mothers.
Some became guides. and many an
army automobile had as guide bright
schoolboy who sat beside the chauf
fear and showed him the right road.
II is said that when the history of
this war is written the schoolboys OF
Austria will deserve prominent place
in its pages.

flame was very clear A venerable
bearded priest stood beside the lamp.
His discourse was earnest and solemn
Both man and woman hearers were
very attentive.
The ceremonies of worship are quite
simple, but the mysteries OF the faith
may be less so. The Parsees who
have been educated II England and
many of those whose English educa-
tion has been obtained in Bombay
resent the designation of fire worship
ers.
One of them gave me a monograph,
written by a Parsee baTrister in Lon
don, which explained the creed OF the
followers of Zoroaster as one OF good
thoughts, good words and good deeds,
with the sacred flame as a symbol of
the efulgence of the deity. 1t is not
denied. however. that contact with
Hindus and Mohammedans has caused
corruptiOns to creep into the creed
The Hindus and Moslems regard the
Parsees as fire worshipers.
1t was on a New Year day that
drove out to Malabar hill, where are
located the Towers of Silence, or The
Parsee cemetery. Every traveller takes
this drive. Il is past the other GENE
teries, Christian and Mohammedan
burial grounds and the Hindu burning
CHAT The cemetery of the Christians
is no longer used, but on almost any
day there will be Mohammedan fu-
nerals and Hindu cremations.
On this day there were two Moham-
medan funerals and three parties of
Hindu mourners, with their respective
burdens at the burning CHAT,
Malabar hill is the choice spot over
looking the Arabian sea. Within the
cemetery grounds are fagstone steps,
shaded walks and arbors and bowers.
A luxuriant vegetation covers the
rocks, and there is everything that
goes to make beautiful garden of
flowers.
The towers of Silence, OF which
there are FIVE, are hardly towers at
all. They are about 275 feet in cir
conference and perhaps 25 feet high.
The material is whitewashed stone
and cement or mortar. near ap.
proach to the towers is not allowed
to strangers to the Parsee creed, nor
is entrance permitted to the fire tenn
pie, where the sacred fire is kept alive
and seven kinds of incense are burned.
A model of the towers is shown in
the registry room and an attendant ex-
plains them to visitors. The attend
ant explained to me the circular rows
i'm which the bodies were placed-one
for the children, one for the women
and one for the men. When the bodies
have been stripped of their fleshly
covering by the vultures, which takes
perhaps half an hour, the bones re-
main for a while, and are then
dropped into a well in the center,
which is provided with drains and
water fushes. Charcoal is the chief
purifier.
On this New Year day there was a
Parsee funeral, which could be OBJ
served only at respectful distance

"HOMAS FALKNER, in his
book, speaks of the Rio Negro
as 1.-THE largest river of Pata-
goHa. IL is not only the larg-
est river OF Patagonia but, next to the
La Plata and it's two large tributaries,
which do not, however belong to Ar
gentina alone. the largest of the Ar
gentine Republic. Roughly speaking,
it drains a large triangular piece OF
territory lying between sc and AZ de-
grees of latitude south, with the base
following the line of the watershed be-
tween Chile and Argentina and the
apex resting at the mouth Of the river
on the Atlantic coast just south of
the fortieth parallel of latitude. Falk-
ner gives quite q list of names for this
stream, OF which the Indian name of
Curu Lcuvu has been retained to this
day in the Spanish translation of Rio
Negro.
IL is not to be wondered at that the
Spaniards neglected the inhospitable
coast of southern Argentina in those
early days of conquest and settlement.
No one could be expected TO settle
down in an unattractive and desert
country while there was an unlimited
supply of more desirable lands closer
at hand and to be had only for the

The inhabitants are as cosmopolitan
a lot as is to be found almost any
where. AS in the greater part of Ar
gentina, the Italian predominates on
the farms and the Spaniard in the
small towns; there are a few Ger
mans, English and Scandinavians, in
fact practically every country in Eu-
rope is represented, usually by immi-
grants of the humber classes; the ma
tive Argentine is represented by few
of the gaucho class and by wealthy
landowners who possess palatial
homes and spend much of their time
in Buenos Aires; and there is quite a
sprinkling of Chileans who have
filtered in through the mountains from
their own country near by, and the
Indian has by no means become ex-
tinct.

mourners in thor white robes walking
two abreast, each pair holding q hand
kerchief. The Parsee accounts say
that the body is received by two beard
ed attendants at the entrance to the
towers, and that by them the shroud
is removed and then vultures do the
rest. This is probably what happened
that day
All / could note on this occasion was
Il sudden movement of the vultuTes
in the palm trees. There seemed to
be hundreds of them, They paused
for minute on the outer edge of one
of the towers and then disappeared
within. In a few minutes they re-
appeared.
The Parsee method Of disposing of
the dead is, perhaps, as the Parsees
say, more sanitary than the Christian
burial in the earth, or even than the
Hindu cremation. II meets the tenet
of their faith that fire, water and earth
are too sacred to be polluted. But
the western mind cannot become ac-
customed to il.
In conclusion it may be said that
there are other New Year observ-
ances in India besides the New Year
of the Christians, Mohammedans, Hin
dus and Pars ees. There is a Chinese
colony in Bentinck street, Calcutta, and
the Chinese there observe the New
Year DIS they do in the United States,
G. in any other section of the world
in which they are found.

49,, Year days and this is so be-
s&ASS cause OF the large number OF
races and religions.
When a traveller who expects to
spend some time in the country goes
to the bank with his letter OF credit
usually a card is handed him on which
is printed the various holidays This
is for his convenience, so that he
will not let himself get out of funds
and go to the bank in hurry, only
to lind it closed on account OF some
holiday The holiday auay be Chris
tian, Mohammedan or that Of any one
Of the numerous Hindu sects.
When the usual card vas given me
in Bombay, says a write, ! noted the
number of these holidays which were
ascribed to New Year. 1Ney did not
exactly bear out the humorous de-
scription OF every day in the year as
a New Year day, but there seemed
hardly a month of the Christian calen-
dar which did not have at least one
New Year designated, and in some
months there were more.
Kaleidoscope Bombay observes all
these New Year days because the
stream of Asiatic life which circulates
through it includes all the civilization
and all the races and religions of the
Orient, with some additions from the
Occident. The spirit is one of cath
olicity.
All the races and all the religious
sects observe the New Year Of the
Christian calendar. because British
rule Of India is reflected in this day;
but they also observe the New Year of
the different races and religions
among themselves, at least to the en-
tent of knocking off work.
Whether in Bombay or Benares, the
monkey temple has its throng Of Hin
du worshipers, and the Mohamme
dams often are not unwilling to share
In the observance TO the extent Of
foregoing their business activities.
The Hfndus on their part are apt to
think il a shame to work on Moham
medan New Year day when the Mos
lem population may be thronging the
Jumma Musquid mosque. SO it goes
all round the circle Of New Year holi-
days
There is a simple arithmetical meth
cd of calculating the time from the
Hegira in the terms of the Christian
era, but the easier way is to accept
without question the fact that such
and such a day is the New Year of
the Mohammedan era. Similarly, the
New Year of the Buddhists and the
Brahmins and the jams and the Sikhs
may be accepted without bothering
about the calendar.
The British New Year in Bombay.
or Calcutta, or Delhi is much the
same as in England.
While the Christian New Year is
formal and stately on account of Brit
ish authority, it has less standing than
the New Year of the Parsees, because
II is a single days observance, while
the Parsees take two days. The year
happened to be in Bombay was the
Parsee Yazdezardi, 1876, and the New
Year days came on September 13 and

within. They are more like an ordi-
nary hall.
