SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE
RETURN DISTLLU.SlONED

New York, Nov 15.-Disillusloncd
as to the vaunted romantic life OF
soldiers of fortune. SO men, all Latin
Americans except three who were
American war veterans, returned to-
day from Spain, where they went
several months ago seeking adven-
ture as members of the Spanish For
eign Legion.
The men said the reality Of life IN
the Spanish Army opposing the
Moors in Morocco did not fulfill hopes
raised by reading the prospectus.
None of the party joined the Span
ish Army and all except three re-
turned in the steerage quarters OF
the Spanish Royal Mail steamship,
Montevideo.
One of the men said that volunteers
in the Spanish Army are required
to provide their own uniforms, rifles
and other equipment and to pay for
their meals, laundry and other c.
pcnscs, in return for the equivalent
of 60 cents a day. Another declared
that man serving under these con-
ditiors for a few months would tall
into debt to the Spanish government
and that the longer he served the
deeper he would be involved.

The old tree is now showing Its
age and evidences of decay have
appeared. General E. w. Nichols,
superintendent of the institute, has
taken steps to correct, as far as pos
sible, these marks of age. An expert
forester has been engaged to treat
the old sentinl. He began work
upon it today. General Nicholas said
that he believed the life of the tree
could be spared for many years to
come, and it is the intention Of the
authorities to do all that science can
suggest to prolong its life and its
unique service.
Twelve oak trees have just been
planted along the west edge of the
parade ground in front of headquar-
tiers and officers quarters. Next year

WEDNESDAY, NOV. II, 1873.

On Friday night last, the
small house, built at the prln-
cipal draw of the Bridge across
the Potomac, took fire and was
burnt to the water edge, to-
gcther with considerable part
of the Bridge. The damage IS
estimated at several thousand
dollars. This accident, IS an
other evidence of the falsity OF
that economy, which saves
dollar at the risks of thousands.
Had the small house built upon
the bridge been rendered IRE
proof" and the occupant fur
nished with coal instead OF
wood, for fuel, the accident
could not have happened. The
Stockholders would not have
lost their money and the pub
lie would not have been put
to the extreme Inconvenience OF
travelling nearly twice the for
mer distance in order to get

Of these propositions can be closed by the hdl company whenever the build
ing fund shall have been completed and delivery of the building upon a definite
can be assured.
1.-THE financial and business situation has cleared. Business in Albuquerque has
o a normal basis. Business and industry in our tributary territory rs
rapidly returning to its accustomed volume and activity Railroad and other in
dustial conditions have SO mended themselves a to insure IN early and com
Piete return to normal; which, IN te case otA albuquerque, means a very large
increased railroad payroll and IN important ncrease in or population.
Y After consultation with the kwenis club, with other business and profession
al men and with large numbers of the subscribers. it has been determined that
the time is opportune to complete the subscription to the hotel fund. This is re-
garded asn necessary Tor a number OF reasons.
needs the hotel now and will need it more urgently in 1922. There
is no argument or difference of opinion as to this fact. 1t is evil
denced every day by inadequate and overflled hotels, and by III
definite knowledge of the increased population, tourist and other
travel that will come to this city in 1872.
GSecond, a total of 625 subscribers to the project have paid all or
a part of their subscriptions to the stock. They have a right to *
pct speedy action and the support and cooperation OF the rest Of
the community in this project to which they have pledged their
funds.
qThnd this project was inaugurated in l92I. Iii highly desirable
and important that the financing be finished in 1921, 20 that it may
stand as al outstanding achievement ofo ur community IN a year
of such business conditions as have caused nearly all other CON
munihes to stand still in projects oil a public character For Abu-
qu1que to put this project through before the end of 1921 will
evidence a loyalty enterprise and faith in om community which
will attract the attention of the entire country and be of incalcul
able value in favorable publicity.
GFourth, there are pending several proposals to lease the hotel
from me of high standing in the hotel operating field. Each Of
these proposals, If accepted, would involve a large financial outlay
by the mar making it. These proposals cannot be held open indefi
and it is to u advantage to decide the matter asq quickly as pos
sbk. The favorable terms of these propositions and the character
of the men behind them absolutely confirm the Albuquerque hotel
project as a business proposition and as a sound Investment.
Finally, Albuquerque word has been given to the people of New Mexico who
come here tic trade, to attend conventions and for various social reasons, that
ADEQUATE hotel accommodations will be provided. 1t would be disastrous for
should we fail to keep this pledge. 1t will be of the utmost advan-
tage to us in business and in growth to make good lin the shortest possible time.
