GOLD STOCKS REACH
HISTORIC HIGH LEVEL

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. (UP)
Omitted States gold stocks reach
ed the highest point in history
yesterday at $1l,00l ,6l2,674.
That figure, about $94.50 for
every person in the country, rep
resents approximately half Of all
the monetary gold in the world.
The gold holdings were reveal
ed in the daily treasury statement
for Oct. Is, the day Secretary Of
the Treasury Henry Morgenthau,
Jr., announced the new gold
standard" agreement with Great
Britain and France. Morgenthau
said, however, that the passing Of
the eleven billion mark in gold
holdings was not aresult of the
agreement, since the additional
gold was shipped before the an
nouncement.
None of this gold can be spent
in the ordinary sense Of the word
spending. Almost $3,000,000,000
of it is used to back outstanding
gold certificates; another IS, 1867
875 forms the gold certificate
fund Of the Federal Reserse sys-
TEN. The exchange sterilization
fund takes $1,800,000,000.
The only use the United States
has for the gold is to get foreign
exchange. If pounds Of francs are
needed in exchange transactions
to steady the dollars information
al value, the u. s., under its new
agreement, can buy them from
Great Britain or France and will
pay for them by placing gold to
the credit Of the respective coun-
thies.

GIBRALTAR, Oct. 16.-(UP).
Spanish insurgents today opened
a terrible airplane bombardment
south of Madrid, while on the
ground their infantry and cavalry
drove demoralized loyalists in to-
ward Madrid on a dozen roads.
Loyalists fired on their own men
to stop the disorderly retreat
which threatened to become a
rout. The Madrid governments
position was desperate and appar-
emily hopeless in so far as Madrid
is concerned.
1t was indicated that the bonn
bardment had cut the Madrid

places, cutting off the govern.

What on earth made you do

smiled-bent to light the fire.
No, I admitted, I wasn't particu-

I didn't. I said, expect it to do

Who Will Paw?

The indication coming from the District Building to
the effect that the Commissioners expect to submit to

matey forty eight million dollars for the coming fiscal
year would mean more to the taxpayer if he had any
way of Judging what will happen to the figures later
The estimates have now passed under the veil of
secrecy from which they will not emerge until they
submitted to the Congress with the Federal budget in
January.
While under the veil strange and mysterious things
have been known to happen and Of them probably
will be repeated this year.
THERE IS NO MYSTERY ABOUT THE FACT,
HOWEVER, THAT THE DISTRICT CANNOT MEET
BUDGET OF FORTY EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS
WITH ITS PRESENT ANTICIPATED REVENUE.
AS the city stands it count obtaining from
present sources only about forty million dollars.
To the extent that the Federal lump sum- the share
of the national Government in the cost of its Capital may
be increased the anticipated will be increased
It possible that the Presidential committee may
ommend doubling the Federal appropriation, which
would bring it to ten million dollars.
This would lift the anticipated to forty-five
million dollars still considerably short of the indicated
budget.
If this increase in the lump sum should be granted
and it lUOuId certainly nat Ae than fair in
creuse-and if the budget should be approved as it
is indicated it uU be submitted there lUOuId still be

For the Commissioners to encourage belief either at

BAGUIO


One of the most beautiful and
healthful summer resorts in the
world is in the heart Of the tropics.
It is Baguio, the mountain, sum-
mer capital of the Philippines,
situated 176 miles north of Man
liza. 1t nestles among the hills of
Benguet, 5000 feet above sea
level, a garden city in a forest
of pines. One goes to Baguio dur
ing July and August. when it is
coolest there, and it is like en-
tering another world to leave be-
hind the cruel, crushing heat of
Manila for this lovely place. And,
added to all the beauty, the lush
vegetation. the scenery, the or
chidS, is the knowledge that the
main hotel is American, offering
all the comforts of home in this
land of the tropics.
MARKET PLACE
The city of Baguio is beautiful
and perfectly planned. One strolls
through the city, and there are
lovely views in every direction.
Sooner or later one comes to the
market. Sunday is the big market
day but there is always some
thing doing. It is a colorful and
bizarre scene, as the natives ar
rive at the market place, travel
ing by motor truck, by slow cara
bao cart and afoot. One sees many
different tribes, and frequently the
whole family comes along for the
jaunt.
One may wander for hours in
the great stone buildings housing
the stalls, without fear of moleS-
tation or annoyance. Near by is
the pig market, which is, of
course, very noisy and then there
is the grain and rice market. The
whole thing is extremely colorful
and one finds oneself waiting i'm
patiently for the next market day
to arrive.
One of the largest and certainly
one of the most beautiful of all
army posts is Camp John Hay at
Baguio. 1t is like a great park
or estate open to visitors. There
are tennis courts. a fine golf
course and an exquisite floral am

country.
Persuaded by Louis Napoleon
and urged by the ambitious Car.
lotta, his wife, MaXimilian con-
sented to be crowned Emperor Of
Mexico. But his dream and Car
lotta's was Short-lived.
When the Civil War ended the
United States Government turned
its attention to Mexico and its re-
Sponsibilities, under the Monroe
Doctrine.
Washington ordered Louis Ma
poleon to get out of Mexico or take
the consequences. An army under
General Sheridan was ready to
cross the Rio Grande and enforce
the order.
Napoleon deserted Macmillan
and withdrew the French troops.
The Mexican republicans rose,
overthrew the monarchy and shot
the unhappy Maximilian against q
stone wall at Queretaro.
Carlotta, stunned by the trag-
edy, went mad. For so years she
lived on in a chateau in Belgium,
her darkened mind still dwelling
in the past, still dreaming that she
was the Empress.
She was still alive when the
Great War began, and the German
troops poured through Belgium un-
der strict orders not to moleSt her
home, where an American flag
floated over the gateway.
UNHAPPY FAMILY
In the meantime, so the story
goes, the treasure of jewels and
gold which had been hers and
Maximilian'S had been smuggled
from the Mexican treasury to the
Inflated ship Merida.
Over that treasure hung the
curse which has followed the
Hapsburg family to this day. For
the greater part of the treasure
was from looted temples.
Back in the sixteenth century
an ancestor of Macmillan robbed
a Burmese temple of rubies and
diamonds.
Carlotta, herself, added to these
a store of gorgeous emeralds from
ancient Aztec temples in Mexico.
One must believe that the male
dictions of Burmese and Aztec
priests followed their stolen jewels
from all that followed. Maxi
milan dethroned and executed;
Carlotta a mad woman, doomed
to live on half a century in her
madness, the treasure itself at the
bottom of the sea.
And young Otto, too, may be
under the blight of the curse
which was leveled against the
House of Hapsburg hundred
years ago by the Countess Karolyi,
whose son had been executed by
the Austrian government. Face
to face with Emperor Francis Jo-
seph, she spoke these frightful
words:
"May heaven and hell blast
your happiness! May your
family be exterminated! May
your children be brought to ruin
and your life wrecked! And
yet may you live on in lonely
unbrOken and horrible grief to
tremble when you recall the
name KarOIyi!"

The Washington times., 1936-09-29

For young Otto of Austria,
scion of a tragically unfortunate
royal house, and the hulk of S. s..
Merida are strangely linked by
the historic Curse of the House
of HapSburg."
A treasure seeking expedition
which is even now probing the
ocean for the gold bullion which
went down with the Merida seeks
also the emeralds and rubies which
once belonged to the Emperor
Maximilian of Mexico and his
Empress, Carlotta.
When the unfortunate Maxi
milan was captured and shot in
1867 his treasure was seized by
the Mexican republic. Early in
1911, when Porfirio Diaz, the die
tator of Mexico, was overthrown,
a group of Mexican aristocratS
fled with the treasure.
They escaped from Mexico on
board the American steamship
Merida. And the Merida, steaming
northward toward New York, was
rammed and sunk on May II,
1911, by the steamship Farragut
off the Virginia CapeS.
SUNKEN TREASURE
Maximilian was a brother of
the Austrian Emperor, Francis Jo-
seph. Carlotta, his wife, was a
daughter of Leopold I, King of
the BelgianS. When they were
married in 1857, she was only 16,
very beautiful, very ambitious.
MaXimilian was then governor
of Milan, for the Austrians at that
time held all of northern Italy.
Louis Napoleon, Napoleon III,
dreaming of a new French empire
in North America, and Seizing his
chance while the United States
was rent by civil war, sent an
