AUSTRIAN BONDS
FORCED ON CROATS
Latter Soon Sacrificed Them
in Open Vienna
Market.
HATE FORMER RULERS
BY HERBERT COREY.

ZAGAREB. Crotia, February % (by
maiD.-Gold pieces are exposed for
sale in the windows of almost every
money changer in Crotia.
That may seem of trivial impor-
tance. 1t is in fact, in my belief. an
excellent indica ton of the hostility of
these Croats for their Austrian rulers.
In every other one of the beIligerent
countries gold went out of action long
ago 1t wasn't merely that the pos
session of gold was punishable, but
the various governments needed gold
so sorely that no real patriot thought
of Withholding what little he might
have. In Germany, and to some ex-
tent in France and England. gold or
naments and trinkets were even turn
ed over to the government.
Where did you get your gold?' l
asked of the man who yesterday gave
me four hundred kroner for a one-hun-
dred franc note.

The public prosecutor here was sus-
pected. with good reason, OF viruient
hostility to Austria. in fact. he was
a rineleader in the continuous con-
spiracy against the dual monarchy.
One day he was ordered to address a
meeting of peasants and urge them
to buy war bonds. There would be a
large audience, he was grimly assured.
The local commandant would see to
what would happen to him if he did
not make a satisfactory speech.
Peasants Did Not Buy.

chuckle. 1.-The Austrian officer who
took notes upon it congratulated me.

said the Austrian portion OF Jugo-

share of the pre-war debt. but not a

assumed by a monarchy which had
held Jugoslavs in serfdom of the
most cruel and humiliating sort. :.

If a man dares, he grows, but if he refuses to take the hazards he loses. But there is a difference in taking risks It is found in the intention. If you take your risk fro ma nimmora1 intention. you lose even if you seem to win, while if you chose the hazard from a moral intention, you will win even though you seem to lose. It is out of the talk ing of the hazards of life that progress has been made
 Just to be a follower of Christ, is that no hazard in a sin-loving. money grubbing. practical world2 What is this righteousness of God? When it is something external to us alone. then it is merely a garment. we haven't taken the hazard of seeking first His righteousness. I summon you. said the speaker in concluding. to take all the hazard of following such risky thing as the will of God. I summon you and summon myself to dare in this, our united work. That's why I ask you first to seek the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you.

NORWICH PUMPER GOES
 TO EI1CHVILLE FIRE

The large barn owned by Everett ". Stark at Fitchville was totally de- stroyed by fire shortly after g o'clock on Sunday evening. The origin of the fire is unknown. About 9.15 some peo- pie passing along the road in front of the barn noticed the blaze, which started in the rear of the building. They gave the alarm and the Palmer Hose company responded. but the fire had spread so quickly that the stream of water they put on was of no avail. Neighbors of MT. Stark. who was at church at the time of the fire. man. aged with difficulty to get the three horses in the barn to a place of safety and also saved four wagons and three harnesses, but the remaining contents of the barn were totally destroyed. There were farming tools and other implements in the building as well as four tons of hay.
 MT. Stark. fearing that the house, which is only about 50 feet from the barn. would take fire, teiephoned to Chief Howard l.. Stanton of the local department for assistance. As the fire was out of the city limits, Chief Stan ton secured permission from Alderman Joseph A, George, chairman of the fire commissioners, to take the bumper to the fire. The run was made in quick time, but the firemen were unable to do anything to save the barn and de- voted their attention to the house. About zoo feet of hose were laid and
 the bumper connected to give force.
 but the added pressure burst one length and there was delay of few minutes until another length was put in. The break in the hose made no
 material difference as the barn was a mass of blazing ruins.
 Several people had passed the place only a few minutes before the blaze was discovered and say they saw noth- ing of the signs of fire. The building is 26 years old and was about 30x4o , feet. It is only partially covered by insurance MT. Stark was. unable to estimate his loss on Sunday evening.
