Automobiles in Brazil.

Rio de Janeiro;7 Brazil, Sept. b
Results Of coffee crop failures are
seen in the large number Of high
grade automobiles available for public
hire in this city. Most Of them were
originally purchased fer private use
in times of prosperity but their own
ers were compelled to sell them when
the crop failed and financial distress
ensued.
The widespread use made Of them
for business. pleasure or social pur-
poses is a striking feature of life in
the Brazilian capital. They are not
on the usual taXicab type but expen-
sive cars
The broad. smooth avenues and
boulevards are admirably adapted to
the use Of automobiles. and as there is
no speed law the one great object in
life for the native chauffeur appar-
entity is to go at top speed whether in
city or suburb. That there are not
numerous daily accidents is due, per-
raps, mainly to expert handling of the
cars,

Admiral Sims OH Red Cross.

Washington, Nov. THE gratitude
of our fighting men ahoat for the
service rendered them and their fam
lilies by the American Red Cross is
voiced in a characteristic appreciation
by Vice Admiral William S. Sims,
commander OF the American naval
forces in the war zone, which was
made public today in connection with
the Third Red Cross Roll Cali.
The only red tape about the Red
Cross writes Admiral Sims, is the
two small bits that make its symbol:
The use Of navy funds is limited by
law and the auditor. The Red Cross
placed no limit upon its help to the
natv, and there is no limit to the
navv's gratitude for assistance abroad
and care of the families at/honae.

Albert. King or the Belgians.

America has never received a nobler
guest than Albert, King Of the Bel
Sians.
Years ago he visited our country,
as simple earnest young prince, pre-
pairing himself for the unknown duties
of perilous throne. He was quietly
studying end seeing the world be-
cause he felt that his ki"gdom would
be part of it and must stand or fail
by its eternal laws.
He saw the world to good purpose.
The education of the Prince develop
ed the qualities OF the man; modesty
with confidence. courage with pa
tience. justice with sympathy. lnteg-
rity Of heart, and kind Of moral
sagacity which trusted right against
might. In the years Of peace these
talents made his reign prosperous and
won the heart Of u difficult people. In
the fierce emergency OF war they
stood the strain: rose to that spiritual
height of genius which upholds the
right ''in scorn of consequence; and
they held the heart OF that difficult

bodied in their King. In thousands of

MOVIES IN BRAZIL
American Films Are Popular in
South America

Rio Grande do Sui. Brazil. Sept. %.
An American visiting small towns in
Brazil can easily crafty his desire
for home scenery. Whatever the
place, large or small, he is sure TO
find on the main street at least one
moving picture theatre and never fails
to see there an American production,
in fact, seldom anything else.

made stops at the ports OF Paranagua.
San Francisco 40 Sui. Florianopolis
and Rio Grande. the latter being the
largest with about l 000 inhabitants.
In these typical towns. as in the
smaller communities Of the United
States. the moving picture seems to
be the chief source OF evening enter
tainment.
Adorning the foyers Of the theatres
are always to be seen posters and pho
tographs of Well-known American
moving picture stars. sent from the
United States with the film and with
captions still in English. These are
usually supplemented. however, by a

Brazi, in Financial Straits.

Rio de Janeiro. Brazil, Sept. g.
President Epitacio Pessoa gave warn
ing in his first message to the Bra
lillian congress today that the gov
ernment must practice economy if it
is to avoid financial difficulties I'VE
are at this moment in position Whlch
warns us Of our danger" he said.
Four-f1fths OF the nations reve-
nues, according to the president, now
are absorbed in paying the salaries
and expenses of what he characterized
as the "inordinate and ever-increasins
governmental personnel" This leaves
but twenty per cent Of revenues for
the purchase Of materials lncludlnS
equipment of the army and navy.
The president pointed out that twice
since the beginning OF the republic
the country has been forced to sus-
pend payment on the public debt and
had been compelled to issue bonds
secured by customs revenues to meet
excessive disbursements. These bonds
We're held by foreigners and have not
been redeemed ard the president stat
ed that instead of economlzinS to
pay off these Obligations, Brazil had
allowed them to remain unpaid.
Criticism was made Of the mourning
in the last five years Of a deficit OF
$3.50, 100000 and Of the issue OF
loans TO meet it. This was described
as a step which aggravated the
financial situation. disturbed econom-
ic conditions and forced into circula-
ton an unexpected amount Of paper
money, continually depreciatig in val
ue''
Although the war reduced the GUS
toms revenues to minimum. BraZlpS S
expenses had grown with the increas-
ing personnel Of the various minis
tries and this had produced super
abundance of employees, inactive lndi-
viduals and had increased the pension
fund until it amounted to more than
$12,500,000.
1T is impossible FOR any nation to
continue along such path and not
eventually fall into difficulties said
the president. The country now
found itself confronted with demands
for increases in salaries TO provide for
the necessities Of life in abnormal
times resulting from the war. To
grant these would be a wrong policy,
the executive asserted
The government had made use Of
all possible means Of credit in the last
five years. including the. emission of
more than $500, 100000 in paper mon
ey. The president asked whether it
would be possible to continue this
palliative narcotic policy" which in
his opinion, would soon lead us TO
the stern reality Of submitting our
selves to the eXigencies of our cred
itors.'' He asked congress to avoid
increasing more obligations except in
cases Of extreme necessity.
