the affairs of the world when a large American army might be needed and needed quickly. Many veterans and citizens believe that the army should be kept around 300,000 men at all times. It is probable, however, that congress will reduce the appropria. tions so that by next year the army will be cut down to 175,000 men and kept at that number for some years. The huge taxes and cost of the army is the thing that will force a reduc- tion.
 Regular armies of the principal na- tions, existing at this time, are: Great Britain, 31O,OOO; Japan, 372,- 900; Italy 3O0,O00... Russia 480,0OO; Germany, 15O,OO; France 794,OOO.

prise in spite of his extreme need of money and rather lax principles.
 Eva, who feels a certain affection for the handsome young squire, though not in love with him, pleads with him to have nothing to do with her wicked stepfather's schemes. Rattray finally is persuaded to enter into Santos plans by the promise that Eva shall be given him in marriage and the assurance that no human lives will be sacrificed.
 Succeeding scenes show the Lady Jermyn at sea. There are dances in the saloon and musicales at which Eva sings a little Hawaiian farewell song while below, in the hold, the plotters prepare to set the ship afire after transferring the boxes of gold to the captains gig.
 The plotters bore holes in the bottom of one lifeboat and cut the ropes hold ing one end of another nearly through, seeming insuring the death of all per sons seeking safety in either.
 When the fire is discovered, Captain Harris forces all the passengers and all the sailors, except two, into the two lifeboats, driving them away from the gig in which the gold has been placed. From this tense situation the action carries the principal characters through series of extraordinary and thrilling adventures to a happy ending.

The book has thrilled the English speaking world for years and has also been translated into several European languages. Every single thrill has been transplanted from the original story to a masterful scenario, which was edited by Lillian and George Ches- ter, authors of international repute.

VIENNA, Feb. S.-The deficiency of

100 900. 900 600 kronen, or S2OtoOO-Oo0 OOo,
as estimated on the pre-war value OF the
kronen. Announcement to this effect
was made today following Cabinet ses-

slider the budget and TO take steps to
obtain financial aid.
The first measure provides for douD-

Gluttony and famine, debduchery and dis
ease, wealth and poverty and gayety and

Of the population is in utter misery. The
remaining 10 per cent. enriched by gam

DANCE ALL NIGHT
DURING CARNIVAL.
The carnival season, the gayest time
Of the>ysar in pre-war days, is here, with
dancing, singing and drinking from eve
ming until dawn. Twenty thousand
kronen were charged for q box at the car
nival ball. This price proved too steep
even for the English, with the exchange
rates overwhelmingly in their favor, yet
5000 Austrians attended. Tickets were
sold out three weeks in advance.
For the carnival festivities almost every
other building has been converted into a
cafe where passersby are invited to drown
their cares in champagne-at 5000 kronen
a bottle.
While all this hectic gaiety marks
some parts Of the city the inhabitants
OF the poorer quarters walk with drOOp-
ing heads and faltering steps and with
tragedy in their eyes.
WOMEN SHOW
CONTRAST IN DRESS.
Ragged women with gaunt faces,
clutching babies beneath their dirty
shawls, pass by the wives and daughters
Of prohteers who are attired as brilliant
" as any Partisan.
The smart" shops are filed with a
profusion of elegant goods, but the price
tags take ones breath away. The cheap
