His home, a dilapidated houseboat, is
drawn upon the bank of the St.
Johns river, in the heart of Riverside,
the most exclusive residential section
of Jacksonville. Surrounding 1t are
the homes Of many well-to-do citizens.
Major Monroe wears his years light
ly. He is as sprightly as some men
of fifty. He works in the gardens Of
the weather. residents Of the River
side section, and Is favorite with
the children, for whom he has con-
slant fund of stories relating to the
Mexican war. the Civil war and ante
bellum days. He has been married
three times, and has lost five sons
fighting for this country. Two of
them were killed in the Civil war. One
daughter remains alive. Her home Is
at Richmond, Va.
At the side Of the houseboat home
of Major Monroe a Confederate flag
flies, but in the place Of honor is the
Stars and Stripes. Each Fourth of
July Major Monroe salutes "Old
Glory" with a volley from flintlock
musket.

HUNS FEAR AUSTRIAN CRISIS.
Tremble Over Crisis as Emperor
Charles Gaqs Parliament,

SHdTiSS gags FariIdment..
London May 6.-"There are at least
q dozen different crises in Austria to-
day" wrote one Of the best informed
English correspondents Yesterday. Al
these crises appear to concentrate on
the problem Of food Even the racial
animosities Of the composite empire,
which have always been the weak tim
bers Of It's structure have been in
famed into unusual bitterness by sec
ttona1 jealouSies over food distribution
These crises appear to have reached
elimination yesterday in the gov
ernment's decision to proroguc paria-
ment during the present phase of the
war for the reason that 1T could not
help but only hinder in the solving of
economic problems on which every
thing depends. in the words of semi
official explanation. Before this an
nouncement was made Premier Won
Seydler met party leaders, impressed
upon them necessities of the situa-
ton offered vague promises of reforms
for the disconnected races demands.
and issued warning that any agitation
would be dealt with by all lawful
means.
Parliamentary governme nt, or rather
parliamentary debates, are to be SIP
pressed indefinitely and an autocratic
government will try to hold the helm.
What straits Austria has reached
were partly revealed by the premier
speech and also by the German Official
statement that all food supplies from
Ukraine this month will be given to
Austria on account Of her greater
need. The Hague correspondent Of the
Times, discussing the German food
shortage yesterday, remarked: Even
the ordinary German public realizes
that something worse than food scar
city threatens Austria"
For two months past the exaspera-
ton between the Slavic sections of the
Austrian population and the other
races has been at the highest point OF
tension. The Germans have been
bullying Premier Won Seydler with
insolence which reached It's climax in
the request that the Austrian frontier
populations of German race should
for food supply purposes be annexed
to Germany.
This rquest appeared at first little

nothing more significant Of the depth
OF the present crisis has occurred thar
the fact that the Austrian government
felt compelled to yield completely or
this point. To many politicians this
yielding Of the food administration In
Bohemia and Tyrol must seem Il Dis
tinct step toward the breaking up Of
the Austrian empire.
Some terrible pictures Of the fooc
situation in Bohemia have reached the
outside world thru the correspondent
of the Vienna Arbeiter Zeitung social

these districts. . He wrote:

Peanut oil mills, the specialists say.

can profitably grow the Spanish type
Of peanuts, which are high In oil con-
tent and have less shell than the larger
Virginia varieties. The mills should
be equipped with peanut cleaners, and
oil the nuts, after going over screens
to remove the stocks, stones and other
trash, should be thoroughly secured.
For the by-products obtained in the
manufacture Of peanut oil there is a
growing market especially for the
