The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1917-09-28


feudal ages, Count Rovigno is not
very much Austrian in his sympath-
ies--for more than 20 years he has
been hunting game in the wild ami
NAL territory on both continents.
In the jungles of Congo he has bag
ged lions leopards and buffaloes,
and afoot he has travelled from Cape
town to Morocco. He has taken
elk, deer, bear and mountain sheep
in the widest sections of the Rock
les and he has contributed to ZOOS
in Seattle, Portland, and other west
ern cities many wild animals caught
alive.
One of the most noted hunting
trips made by the count in southern
Montana and northern Wyoming
was 1914 when he acted as one of
the guides that piloted the late
Charles G. Gates of Minneapolis and
his friend, the Prince of Monaco, on
the trip which was cut short by the
sudden death of Gates. On the way
into the Rockies they spent some lit
tie time at Billings outfitting.
Interpreter for Frances Joseph.
When the late Colonel William
f. Cody buffalo Bill) was touring
the continent in 1892 with his wild
west show he was entertained in
turn by the reigning families in
Europe. When the circus reached
Vienna, Buffalo Bill invited Emper-
or Frances Joseph and the royal
family to a special performance AS
Emperor Joseph could not speak
English he appointed his blood rela-
tive, the young Count Rovigno,
lieutenant in the Austrian cavalry and
just out of Heidelberg, to act as in
terpreter between Buffalo Bill and
himself. So impressed was the
young count with the feats of horse
displayed by the men from
the plains of America that he de-
clded to give up military life and
seek out what Buffalo Bill termed
the Golden West"
His plans were Interrupted for a
few years, however, as he was ap-
pointed an Austrian military attache
to accompany Russian expedition
from Petrograd to China, which trip
he made in 1894. The trans-Siber-
ian railroad had not been completed
and most of the trip was made by
Wagons anu SlGuo. Mourning ne |
went to Chile and hunted big game
in the Andes. Later he accompanied |
4 mining expedition to Africa.
Conquered Wild Broncho.
1t was only few years later, how
ever, that he arrived in Billings on
lis way to Cody, where he was taken
n tow by Buffalo Bill. Three years

territory southwest of Billings. Ro-

THE ISSUE

The submarine, as used by Germany for the sinking of merchant
vessels without warning and without safe provision for the lives of
their non-combatant crews or passengers, is a pirate, outside the pale
of international law 1t is SO regarded by all neutral as well as beliger-
ent nations it is so admitted by the German government itself, whose
only defense is that necessity knows no law Imagine, if you can,
the triumph of Germany in this war. What would be the status of the
commerce of the world, at the mercy of a nation drunk with power,
ruled by a Hohenzonern. Who would make the laws or the rules
TO poyern or control the uses of the submarine for future wars? And
who would enforce them? And what would our Monroe doctrine be
but a scrap of paper Can you contemplate this, MIR. Pacihst, with
the cries from Belgium and Serbia and France, and from the Lusltana,
the Sussex and the Iacona still ringing i'll your ears? The issue of this
war. if it has an issue, is the divine right" of kings to rule the world
and extend their doninions. And keep in mind that England has no
king except in name. The people robbed him OF his kingy power years
and years ago.

This shows that 77S per cent of the total export trade OF the
United States was with the entente allies, and that this trade mad
nearly doutled within a wear. The total volume of exports for the
seven months ending with January shows the same story. FOR tn
last seven months the exports of the United States amounted to S3-
Oh 1726 SS, as compared with ST. I828o8752 for the same time a
wear ao To the beligerents in this time goods were sold to the
amount of S2zoI 633o72 and $I6o2.52288o Thus the sales to the
allies for the second period amount to more than the total sales OF the
country for the first.
The sales of foodstufs to these countries is not separated IN the
total. btu. if the same proportion holds good the food supplies sent the
allies in January amounted to $I4I,24,5oS, and Tor tn seven-month
neriod to 1877 I72AIs. These figures are cited at this time to give
an idea of the immense quantities of supplies the countries warning
AGAINST the Germans have been accommodating. 1t is hard to believe,
in the face of this showing, that any of them is facing immediate want
~ that the cessation of transportation for a month would bring either
to starvation.

SURPLUS SUPPLIES FOR EUROPE

Some interesting information is disclosed by the report OF the
Department of Commerce m the foreign trade of the United States
for the month of January. Reports reached the highest total ever re-
corded for a single month in the history of the country, amounting to
SOL S553y6o3, as compared with ~$33oo364Io for the month OF Janu-
airy, 1916. This shows an increase of almost 90 per cent. VI the o
tai, $~1S5z8oo85 was for foodstufs and fuel oils, which compares with
%SIo6oI8z32 for the same month in 1916, a N increase o foyer IS per
cent. The share of the beligerents in this enormous volume of trade
is overwhelming. Exports to Germany and Austria have fallen away
to nothing, but the countries allied against them during last January
bought from the United States goods to the amount of:
