CHINESE DISLIKE SOLDIERS
Inllke the Japanese They Have 4 Con-

The well-known olden dislike o.,

the country when war IL In the air.
They have not glorifed vaior or quite
grasped the beauty, not to say tho
duty. Of dying for ones country. al
though when they do fight they face
death with 9 great indifference.
Discussing this phase Of the Chinese
character, Yone Noguchi, the Japanese
writer, says in the course Of a recent
article, according to East and West:
This Chinese hatred Of soldiery bust.

called The Arm Broken Old Man.
This old man was not informed till

become q soldier and Intentionally
broke his arm in order to be excused
from such a duty. Although his arm
panied badly on a cold or rainy day,
he was glad to be thankful for It, for

Rothschild Money
Twice Prevented
British Disasters
Bankers Financed yelling.
toms Expedition; Stopped
Run on Bank Of England

Leopold de Rothschild, whose death
was announced recently. was an ener-
getic member of the Jockey Club for
many years, and for ,early half CEN
tury he took an active interest in all
matters connected with the turf, says
The Dundee Advertiser" Not until
1904. however, did he win Derby,
when the blue riband was carried off
by ST. Amant.
The story is told how he trudged
through the mire in heavy downpour
of rain to see the horse saddled for the
Derby, and how on his victory his first
thought was to send the news to his
boys at Eton. He had spent fortune
TO win the great race. Members of the
sporting press received gifts OF gold
matchboxes with his racing colors in
enamel. His account of how the first
news of the victory at Waterloo reached
this country through an agent OF the
great banking house of Europe, who Sc
cured a copy of the Dutch Gazette" at
0stend, is an interesting footnote to
history.

Stocks


After a brief period of hesitation at
the opening, to-day's market bounded
forward on a strong and broad inquiry
for rails, shippings and some of the
less active specialties. Trading became
more sharply defined with the progress
of the short session. industrials,
notably the Steels and equipments,
showing only moderate strength at best
and falling away toward the end
United States Steel forfeited virtually
cQ It's ore point gain, and some other
shares Of the same class finished with
moderate net losses.
The movement in rails centred around
Canadian Pacific, its subsidiary $500;
Union and Southern Pacifcs, New York
Central and the entire coal group at
extreme gains Of IL to 4 points.
Shipping shares were featured by an
advance Of 34 points in American In
ternational Corporation, recently listed
on the Stock Exchange, but Marines and
associated issues were irregularly low
or. American Sugar was unusually &C
tive at a gross gain of 2l2 points and
motors and oils contributed to the gen
eral improvement. Profit taking caused
recessions of to liz points at the
strong close. Total sales amounted TO
425,0O0 shares.

Industrial
Cotton

Unfavorable crop reports from the
Southwest. together with news concern
ing German affairs, caused a renewal
of strength in the cotton market yes
terday.
Notwithstanding the cautioning note
sounded in Washington advices, the
reports from Germany evidently
strengthened the hopeful view Of
peace prospects. Moreover, reports OF
the Presidents opposition to the in
clusion of cotton in the food control
bill served to eliminate one of the
causes for hesitation and uncertainty
which have recently had a restricting
influence on business. Continued dry
weather in the Southwest was report

ports Of a good demand for spots out

months showed net gains of 45 to 40
points at the best level of the morning,
with the market closing irregular at q
net advance of 60 points on July and
of Q to 81 points on later deliveries.
The official forecast was rather more
encouraging for showers in the South
west, as it indicated unsettled con1i-
tions. There was no definite predic-
tion of showers for Texas, but showers
were looked for in parts Of Arkansas
and Oklahoma. THE feature Of trad
ing was the scarcity of offerings. ex-
cept in the way OF proft-taking.

attention was attracted by the de-
crease in the stocks at mills and public

A market for Argentine cheese has

Press Fund he told how, when he first
went into the City, they were dependent
for foreign news on a mysterious let
ter, "Le Petit Papier," written by A. NJ.

some of the greatest journals of the

Leopold dc Rothschild was the head
Of the British branch of the family.
which largely controlled the financial
issues of Europe. From its origin in
the Jewish quarter of Frankfort the
family first came into prominence dur
ing the early years of the Napoleonic
wars. At that time Amschel Roth
schild, by dint of unfagging energy
and a keen business mind, succeeded in
founding the family fortunes.
At the time of Wellington's Peninsu-
lar campaign it was a Rothschild who
came to the rescue of the British with
funds and supplies, and in 1926, when a
financial panic caused a run on the
Bank of England, it was again a Roth
schild who sverted disaster. 1t was in
1893 that Nathan Mayer Rothschild. the
founder of the British branch of the
family, first came TO England. He es-
tablished himself in Manchester, and
dealt largely in textile goods. Six
years later he visited London, and in
1906 received his first opportunity.

the downfall Of Napoleon in 1915. Il

de Rothschild's fortune dates from the
great coup Nathan Rothschild won
