GALVESTON MAY LIFT
ITSELF ABOVE HIGH TIDE

GALVESTON. Tex, July 15-Gal-
weston may again "ljft itself by its own
boot straps The city proposes to
spend approximately $500, 900 in estab-
fishing a uniform grade. There will also
be an expenditure OF approximately
$4,000, 000 by individuals who will be
obliged to raise their properties at their
own expense.
To carry out the huge task special
d"ispensattOn Is required from the state
and accordingly next November Texas
will vote on allowing Galveston to issue
S., 00O, 900 more public improvement
bonds than the state constitution per
mitS.
1t is pointed out that the plan Is not
the result of fear that the devastationA
Of the 1900 flood win be repeated. A
seawall and limited grade raising have
already obviated that possibility. But
with a contemplated extensive growth
of the city, a uniform grade for the
island IS believed desirable to insure
proper drainage and eliminate all dan
ger Of inVasions from gulf or bay.
After the flood Of 1900, the city liter
ally lacked itself up out Of harms way
through piling Gulf Of Mexico mud and
sand upon the island surface and
placing its stores and houses thereon,
This work, however, was confined
wholly TO that part Of the city facing
the gulf, The contemplated grade
raising will embrace practically the en-
tire area within the city limits.
The city Of Galveston Is huilt upon an
island approximately 30 miles long and
two miles across at its widest point. To
make ii safely habitable three feats
of protective engineering have been pro-
jeCted-a seawall five miles long, a
causeway connecting with the Texas
mainland two miles distant and n grade
raising which already has totaled ST.

AUSTRIANS AND HUNS
ARE VISITING SERBIA

BELGRADE, July l5,-The German
and Austrian peaceful infiltration of
Serbia has begin. The hotels Of this
city harbor guests whose identity is
revealed by their heavy Teutonic cast
Of features, They talk in German and
laugh loudly over their beer. Indeed
If one does not speak German in Bel
grade one sometimes finds himself mis-
understood. The walters do not know
English or French in the majority of
cases.

Serbia from one end of the country
to the other has been flooded with
cheap Austrian and German goods. How
they got in n can not learn, but every
shop window in the village from Cskub
to Semendria contains cheap mirrors,
toilet articles, knives and gimCraCks of
every description Made in Austria"
Many of the articles are backed with
colored pictures under celluloid Of the
iltI JUS IAN anu btIiAdl tIlpGTOTS
In all their regalia. There seems to be
little prejudice against German and
Austrian goods among the peasants and
village jewellers Of Serbia.
The Serbian hates the Bulgarian as
v~enomously as ever, but he does not
sing a morning hymn of hate against
Germany or Austria. The country is
flooded with pictures Of atrocities COM
mitted by Bulgarians upon Serbians.
The former Emperor Charles picture
stlIl adorns the local police h%eadquar-
tiers.
In Belgrade there is bitterness against
the Austrians, especially among the
better class of people whose homes
were Systematically ~deSpOiled by Aus
trian officers who shipped 60 trains of
household goods from Belgrade across
the Danube into Austria. Each train
was composed of approximately 30 cars.
Three hundred pianos were included in
the loot. Belgrade and Northern Ser
bia are flooded with the deprecated
Austrian currency; in fact, there ap-
p%arently is more Austrian money in cir
culatlon than Serbian.
The American Red Cross employs a
number of German prisoners in trans
porting its supplies. They are better
clothed than many Serb soldiers and
go about the streets laughing and jok-
ing and in general quite at home.
The American Red Cross has for its
warehouse the Palace hotel, which, just
finished before the war, was intended
to be the best hotel in Belgrade. When
the Austrians entered the town, how
ever, they deliberately smashed the
plate glass mirrors, marble wainscoting
and stabbed their horses in the draw
ing room and dining saloon. The wood
work was torn out for firewood and the
mahogany furniture wantonly hacked
with axes.
Maj. G. H. Edwards, of Orlando, Fla
who has been in charge of the American
Red Cross work in Northern Serbia,
distributed help to local orphanages and
hospitals, started workrooms for needy
women, gave out supplies to hospitals
and has equipped medical staffs which
travel through Northern Serbia.

HYDE LECTURES UPON
OLD IRISH FOLK LORE

DUBLIN, July 15.-Dr. Douglas Hyde,
professor of Irish in the National uni
versity of Ireland, has been delivering
a series of lectures on Irish folklore at
Alexandra college, Dublin, and has
made many interesting new discoveries.
He said there must have existed in the
middle ages in Ireland "a whole cycle
of literature dedicated to famous arN-
mails. He had recorded some surveying
specimens of it and translated them for
the first time.
He showed that the ancient Irish were
familiar with the transmigration of
souls and that even in the last century
some traces Of the belief remained,
In County RoscommOn a poem was writ
ten a century or a century and a half
ago telling Of a pig, which, having
eaten an Irish manuscript, spoke and
told the owner how it had been a great
singer among the Turks, fought an
Aughrim against the Irish and been a
hacker in France.

JAP SHIP BUILDERS TO

ITALY AND AMERICA TO
STUDY MUTUAL GOOD

ROME, July Is. Correspondence OF
the Associated Press) .-lnternationaI
exchange in the form of the newest and
most practical ideas in social hygiene
ana education as a mean of arriving
at the greatest good for both Italy and
AAnierlca is me object of a plan pro-
lected by DIR. William C. White of
pittsburgh, head of the American Red
cross commission on tuberculosis for
Italy. DR.. White believes that what
America could give to Italy in the way
OF constructive social welfare e
tions would be offset by Italy's sue
cessful adventures in the realm OF in
dustrial training.
There is no doubt that Italy could
furnish enough ideas for American as
slmllation to more than provide for the
balance of trade in this exchange"
said DR.. White to the Associated Press
correspondent. I'VE have found that
education and can truly teach us many
lessons. IN the other hand she can
learn from US methods of social hygiene,
sanitation social welfare which at
present she has hardly developed.
There could be established between
the two countries a real exchange of
these factors which mean so much In
the happiness of the lives of the in
d~ustrial groups. Before the war, Amer
lea received over 500, 600 Italians a wear,
If these had come to America with
American standards of housing, SANTA
ton and all the innumerable things
which American workmen enjoy, Amer
lea would have been spared the money
and effort of having to educate the
Italians in these ideas in America.
THE whole thing is a reasonable
business proposition. If we expect to
draw n vast labor supply from Italy,
then 1t is to our interest to see that
we handle our human exchange in a HUI
man and economic way. We would save
money by organizing in Italy American
methods for social ills, The Italians
would do it themselves and need only
to be shown the way. Besides the mis-
sionary side of it, the sacrifice side Of
it, there is truly a business side and
it is truly American business. America
is in the potential position to carry on
this work in Italy and to get in return
its vast trade and its own experiences
in successful industrial training
schools"

signet Ink Is especially valued by

.Signet Ink attains these qualities.
