Indian Guide Vanishes
 From Brown Building
Advertising Medium of Late Chief Two Moon Was
 Removed Yesterday-Absence Excites Comment

But Chief Two Moon is dead these several months and the In- dian seemed to lack of late the color and the gay sparkle which had been his when the chief was alive and driving about the city in his ong cream-colored roadster or about the country in his famous "house on wheels"
 The Brown building Indian came into existence when Chief Two Moon was at the height of his suc- cess. His patent medicines were be- ing ordered from all parts of Amer. ica. his display at Atlantic City was the sensation of the boardwalk, his light sombrero identified him all over the east, and on Sundays and holidays scores of motor cars from near and far brought more and more persons to seek his help in re-

Exports OfA711s And Munitions Increasing
OOO,OOO Worth in Ten Years-This Past Year Showed Biggest Amount of All

ret profit of $9,662.5S3 for 1893 compared to a net loss of $135,344 for 1882, attributed to recent ap- plications of nickel, which also is essential in munitions manufac- ture.
 Compared with the gre t Schneider = Creusot combination, controlling 412 munitions com- panies in France, the little entente and the Balkans, or with the ex- tensive Vickers-Armstrong firm, of Great Britain, which will sell pistor or a Howitzer, the Ameri- can munitions and armament con- cerns are small fry.
 There is nothing in the United States to measure up to the all- powerful Comite Des Forges De France, guiding and selling power behind 150 armament makers, in- extricably tied up with some of the greatest European banking houses. - On our side of the water, big as they are in terms of millions, there is the idea of competition rather than collaboration between great steel companies. Neither Bethle- hem, United States or Midva1e have established worldwide propa- ganda agencies for war as foreign concerns have done.
 We Build Many Ships
 The government builds many ships and forges guns in its own plants. It does go for battleships and cruisers to the Federal Ship building company, subsidiary of the U. s. Steel, and to the Bethle- hem Shipbuilding company, sub- sidtary of the parent Bethlehem corporation. The remainder of the business is split.
 For it's ordnance, steel plates, guns, rifles, powder. the govern ment goes to: Hercules Powder company, Atlas Powder company. Midvale Steel, General Electric, E. I. Du Pont De Nemours, Colt Patent Firearms company, Peters Cartridge company, Western Cart ridge company, Remington and Winchester Arms. The bulk of the army's artillery and rifles is made in the government arsenals.
 For aircraft; the nation buys the products of Curtiss- Wright, Doug las, United Aircraft, General Avia- ton and North American Aviation.
 General Aviation, incidentally, is a subsidiary of General Motors, which in turn is interlocked with E. I. Dupont De Nemours.
 Combined assets of these firms which through the nature of their peace-time business are called upon to supply most of the munitions necessary for preparedness or ac- tual war, are nearly $5,000, ,000,000 which does not include the feeder industries.

Another Indian passed awaylyes- terday and with him goes Water bury's last vestige of the trappings and splendor of the colorful red man.
 The, Indian who died today had never even been alive but he stood for all the glory of fellow chiefs dead and gone, with the head dress of multi-colored feathers, and their gayly beaded jackets.
 He was just metal Indian, large and impressive, dotted all over with electric light bulbs. Arm out stretched, he had stood for several years atop the Brown building in Exchange place, his pointing finger telling Waterbury and the world that Chief Two Moons office was on East Main street and that his patent remedies were the best in the world.

 New York, March 14.-(UP).- Exports of arms and munitions over the entire world have amount ed to $5O0,000,000 in the last ten years.
 The year 1892 showed by far the heaviest shipments, not only in completed munitions but in the raw materials such as nitrates, that are equally valuable in peace and war.
 In recent months there has been a noteworthy increase of Chilean nitrate shipments through the Panama Canal, for the Orient.
 Exports of airplanes from the United States in the first II months of 1882 were 6.7 per cent higher than for the entire previous year. Curtiss- Wright, during the last year, shipped planes to Russia, Japan, China, Germany, Spain, Holland, France, Italy, Switzerland, Czecho-Slovakia, Bulgaria and nearly every South American pow CT.
 U. s. Buying Planes
 The United States maya is buy ing 1,100 airplanes. The army asks for 1,S00 more.
 Sales of the E. I. Du Pont De Nemours company, dealing in ex- plosives, as we'll as thousand commodities for peaceful arts, in- creased "A per cent in 1893 over 1882. Operating income leaped from $23,363,000 in 1892 to $37,- 262,000 last year.
 The Du Pont company provided 80 per cent of munitions used by the allies during the World war, It was seconded by the Allied Chemical and Dye corporation, an association of large companies manufacturing dye products and extracting nitrate from the atmos- phere.
 The United States and Great Britain have both announced de- cision to build up the naval treaty limits by 1886.
 And in the Japanese diet, two months ago, 8 member demanded dustry, 'this being the most pros- porous of all industries in Japan at present."
 The Japan Chronicle January 6 showed that imports of firearms leaped from T8,S67 yen ($233,- 61O) in 1881 to 6,452,077 yen in 1883. Imports of special steels" Jumped from SS4,9S1 yen to 4,S65,- O18 in the same period. Imports of iron in all forms increased near ly 200 per cent.
 Japan Buy Scrap Metal Increases of scrap iron and other scrap metal imports to Japan is explained by an increase in manu- factures of all kinds. however. Be- cause of low labor costs it Is eco- homie for Japan to buy abandoned mercantile shipping and turn the reclaimed metal into manufactured goods.

THIRTEEN WERE
 FOUND ALIVE IN
 LOST SUBMARINE
Japan Has Given Up Hope
 of Any More - 100 Went to Death

sosebo Naval Base, Japan. March IA A (UP) - Japanese navy officials today abandoned hope of finding more than IS sail ors alive in the water-filled hold of the torpedo boat Tomozuru. which capsized during maneuvers.
 The thirteen survivors of the crew of 113 officers and men were taken to hospitals soon after they had been delivered from the dark, foul-aired compartments in which they had been trapped for 30 hours or more. Some were uncon- scious.
 Continued search of the interior of the warship convinced author ities that the 55 men still unac- counted for had perished. either by suffocation within the ship itself or by drowning. The searchers found 5bodies in the hold.
 When word was first flashed that the Tomozuru, newest fighting unit of the imperial navy, had overturned, it was believe that all aboard had perished. But when the boat was lowed here, with its keel upright, faint tappings were heard on its steel walls. The boat was lighted and three survivors plunged from a hatch.
 One of them was permitted to describe his experiences.
 He said that TomoZuru, moving to its appointed station in the maneuvers. was struck suddenly by a terrific wave. Darkness swift ly descended in the interior, The three men, trained for emergencies rushed to the watertight com partments and changed shut the doors. They believed the others on the ship had done likewise.
 T wrote saying was ready to die for the emperor" the survivor said. "Then I became dazed by the foul air and desperate hunger. l struggled and climbed, and sud- denly the hatch opened. cannot remember exactly how we got out"

realizing the consequences of its abun-

ton that it is a physical vehicle for
life and mind, too, we are only extend
ing our generalization in the same di-
rectiOn.
"A supplementary and semi physical
treatment of survival is now becoming
possible-a treatment which is well call
culated to replace the old materialiStic
view that men had only a material
body and that when that body died
and decayed the animation, the per-
sonality and the individual necessarily
ceased to exist.
It is also well calculated to replace
the popular idealistic notion that any
spirit which survives the death of the
material body must survive in an en-
tirely disembodied condition and be
out of relationship with the physical
universe. Many persons suppose that
