Racing Brings Out
Fact That Germans
Secreted Some Gold

Berlin, Dec. with the close of
the racing season nearly everywhere
in Germany it has been found that the
gold pieces which were turned in at
the gates during the summer, in re-
turn FIR reduced prices Of admission,
total about half a million marks.
Whereas the majority of the press
at first greeted this news as 'a1togeth-
er satisfactory a portion of the pa
pers, after thinking it over, have de-
cided that it is altogether disgrace
fur' to discover that so large num-
Der of people obviously had unpatriot-
ica1ly abstained from turning in their
gold until induced to do so in order
to buy amusement little more cheap
ly.
Part of the press is thoroughly in
dignant that In these days of appeals
from all sources to turn in gold, in
these days of collecting bureaus for
old gold and ornaments, there should
still be SO many persons in the empire
who will not be moved by any lessons
to help bring our financial system in
to consonance with the enormous de-
.mands made upon it, This portion
of the press questions whether the
Reichsbank is right in its policy of
trying to collect all the gold in the
empire by voluntary surrender.

The Hapsburg Ravens.

From that unhappy day it seemed
that Francis Joseph's life was blight
ed. Tragedy after tragedy was en-
acted around him; members Of his
own family-his son, his wife, his
ibrother-were taken from him by
death in it's most shocking forms. Yet
the aged man has lived on 'in lonely,
unbroken and horrible grief" for the
curse Of Karolyi willed it.
And the curse of the Hapsburgs!
The story is told tina more than 1000
years ago the Count of Altenbourg,
founder Of the great family. wander
ing in the wilderness near the juno
ton Of the Rhine and the !Aare rivers
on what is now the border Of Switz-
erland and Southern Baden, came up
on a high hill commanding an ex-
pansive view.
AS he sat there he was attacked by
vultures or hawks, the very birds
whose name he bore, for he was call
ed Der HaJbicht Graf, the Vu1ture
Count The ferocious birds were
about to kill him when flight Of raw
ems interviewed and rove them off.
In commentator Of the lnircle the
Count built upon the rocky height a
tower, which he called Habichtsh;lrg,
which in time became corrupted to
Habsburb. The Counts descendants
added to the tower until a great cas-
tie stood upon the hill; and always
the ravens remained with them.
