AMAZING FEATs OF STRENGTH
Pole, Without Seemingly Remarkable
Muscular Developments, Breaks Rec
ord-Performer's Awful Fate.

Visitors to a well-known London mu-
sic hall some years ago witnessed
remarkable sight.
1t was announced that a Pole,
named Lettl, would perform some
amazing feats Of strength
There appeared upon the stage a lit
tie man only five feet in height. and
weighing about $40 pounds. Not
young, either, for he was only three
years off forty.
The audience rubbed their eyes.
Was this the much advertised strong
man? A huge anchor was brought in.
and four men chung to it. This bur-
den, weighing no less than 1,5OO
pounds, was at once lifted by Lettl.
who thus beat the record lift by no
less than 400 pounds.
He then stood between two eight
horsepower cars. to which he at
tached himself by means of hooks.
which he held in his hands. The cars
were started simultaneously, but, by
sheer finger-strength. Lett held them
so that they could not move, although
the engines were working at full
power.
This feat Of holding two cars may
perhaps be taken as pretty well the
limit Of human strength. That it is
fearfully risky feat is proved by
the horrible accident which recently
befell the famous strong man known
as Apollon.
At Vichy, before large audience,
he essayed similar feat his arms be-
ing harnessed by chains to two cars
which were driven in opposite direc-
tons. He accomplished the perform
ance safely, and then, in answer to
applause, tried 1t again. To the hor-
ror Of the spectators, he was seen to
lose his balance. Before the motors
could be stopped, all the muscles Of
the right side of his chest were torn
out. He died almost instantly.

days of April, 1916, Nine. Marcievfcs

OF boy scouts. A story is told which
shows the amazing muddIe of those
days. Some English lady visitors had
just looked at the Shelburne hotel

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN
EUROPE.

Interesting and timely informatlo con-
corning economic conditions Eu rope
is contained in a statement issued by W..
S. Kies, chairman of the board of the
First Federal Foreign Banking Assocla-
tipn, who has returned from three
months trip through most OF the coun-
tries of that continent. Mr.. Kies made
a special study of the practical basis OF
merchandising credits, and conferred
with European bankers on behalf OF the
Institution of which he is the head and
which is the first to be formed under the
so-called Edge law. One OF the favor
able features of the situation, ne said,
is that the greatness of the task of re-
construction seems to be appreciated IN
Europe, not only by leaders among COM
mercial classes but by the leaders of the
masses. The necessity of building up
redit in order to urchase raw materials,
he dangers of imitation, the necessity of
increasing exports and reducing imports,
the need of heavy taxation and curtail-
ment of expenditures in order to balance
budgets, all seem to be quite clear in the
minds of the Socialist leaders of France,
Belgium, Germany and also Italy. Europe,
he declared, is no longer in danger of
Bolshevism. The real facts about the
Soviet misgovernment of Russia have
been brought home to European workers
through reports made by delegates who
have visited Russia. Even in Italy, he
added, where radical actions appear to
have gone the furthest, the leaders do
not want a Soviet government. Every
where throughout Europe, the Socialist
party, which is the great workers party,
has been eliminating its ultra-radicals,
Bolshevists and communists.

THE DEFEAT OF NON PARTIsANs

Perhaps the most heartoning fea-
ture OF the recent election was the
decisive defeat OF the Non Partisan
League In the Northwestern states,
or the seven states where townley-
ism fought for control, In six II was
thoroly beaten. In the seventh state,
North Dakota. its hold was sadly
shattered. While II won In the
Goyernorship fight It lost control OF
the state House OF Representatives
and probably In the Senate as we'll.
No doubt It would have lost In
the Goyernorship fight, too, had the
