FORTRESS NOW MUSEUM
ONCE' THE PALACE OF COURT OF
MORAVIA.
Ozechordovakia Gives Isortrese of
Spielberg to Italian Government—
Many Italians Suffered Imprison-
ment There Under Austrian Bole.
Antonio Villa, an Italian patriot
iniprisoned in the fortre.As of Spiel -
berg, at Brunn, Czechoslovakia, dar-
ing the Austrian domination of Italy,
wrote.: "Not Spielberg, mountain of
sports, but Weinenberg, mountaiu of
tears, you must call It."
The old caatle where the martyrs
of liberty euffered—as 'described In
"Mie Prigioni" by Silvio Pellico, a
prisoner for many years in the Aus-
trian stronghold—has been given by
Czechoslovakia to the I! alia n Govorn-
meat. It has been converted into a
museum in memory of the captives.
Spielberg fortress in other times
was the palace of the Court of Mo-
rexia. It was once strong, but the
French bombarded and took it in the
Battle of Austerlitz, It was never
restored to serve as a fortress, but a
Part of the demolished enclosure was
rebuilt to hold convicts.
A monument, for wIsich the funds
were contributed by the birthplaces
of the flatten patriot -martyrs who
perished in the dank cells, has been
erected on the hillside leading to the
old fortress. It fulfills a desire ex-
pressed by Pietro ktaroncelli, who,
writing of the death of Fortunato
Orobonl, a prison -mate, said: "Each
one of us composed an epitaph to
our dead companion in the sweet de-
lirium that one day the last of us
w -ho ahould abandon the Moravian
land, would be able to erect at least
a stone in the place where the afflict-
ed bones repose."
The first official visit by Italians to
Spielberg after the World War was
in 1921. The Italian Government
was represented by the Prince of
Scales., who was entrusted by the
king with a special mission to the
Slovak Government. Then, for the
first time in many years, tbe notes of
the Italian national hymn "Marcia
Reale" re-echoed in the old walls. In
1922 Italian pilgrims visited the
prison. On that occasion a marble
slab was inserted in the wall of the
first courtyard of the castle. The
words chiselled upon it were dictated
by Paolo Boselli, president of the
Dante Aligheri Society, and are an
exaltation of the martyred patriots:
"From these dark caves sanctified by
neartrydom, issued victorious the re-
demption of Italy, 1822-1922."
Authentic copies with the Italian
translation of all documents that con-
cerned the Italian prisoners of Sobel -
berg have been collected in the mu-
seum. One is a letter sent to Petite°
by his parents in 1822 but never de-
livered to him by the custodians. Pel-
lico's cell has been conserved as it
was when he occupied it. Part of
the manuscript of "Le MU Prigioni"
has been placed in the cell where
it was written. In the cell of Oro-
boni has been placed a bust of this
political prisoner, sculptured by
Somme. of Turin.
The cells have been put in order,
but they have not lost their charac-
ter of living tombs—tombs of dark-
ness, without a breath of air or ray
of sun; tombs fitted with chains. At
one time the number of Italian poli-
tical prisoners totalled more than a
hundred and included Countess F11 -
angled. Sime was imprisoned M 1816
with her servant, and died before
Panic° arrived.
4 Deprived ot books, paper and ink
and constrained to silence and to
Iignore the life of the world, they
made their own paper and distilled
the ink from rhubarb. A small piece
of sharpened reed served as a pen.
With these small means the prisou-
ers left records of their prison life
which sunk deep into the national
consciousness. Spine of these writ-
ings were conflscated and a report of
them was sent to the Austrian Em-
peror Franz whom Col. Pellicelli
characterizes as the "most inexorable
'of the gaolers."
The most intelligent and audacious
youths see Italy with older heads
leading them joined the ranks of the
Carboneria, a secret organization
formed with the hope or bringing
about a revolution that should free
the country from the Austrian yoke.
Austria kept a large number of enters
and police in Italy and the work of
the political patriots was now and
again uncovered.

the moat faithful and simple recital
of the hardships endured at Spiel -
berg. It created a sensation and the
Government of Austria hastened to
suppress it, but enough copies had
been issued to acquaint Italy with
the life of the prisoners. "The Cry
of Pain" from Polite° was heard
throughout the peninsula and awoke
the nation to a succoesful attempt to
free the country from Austrian sove-
reignty.

tries
Ottawa, July 8.—Canada now hair
the largest favorable trade balance
of say country in the world. For
the fiecal year 1926, Canada's favor-
able trade balance amounted to 8 le •
134,405, an increase over the prev-
ious year of $116,706,299. Only on
one other occasion WAS the Domin-
ion's favorable balance as large as
in 1926, namely, the war year, 19113,
when it amounted to $662,637,214.
At the end of March, 1926, the
favorable trade balance was ahnost
entieely with the British Empire, the
amount for the Empire being $392,-
031,842 and for foreign countries
only $8,502,563. The unfavorable
balance of trade with the United
States, amounting to $123,970,454,
was approximately compensated for
by a favorable balance with other for
edger countries,
Has Improved Our Exchange
The remarkable iacrease in the
'favorable balance during the past
Iwo or three years, says the Bureau
of Statistics, has contributed largely
to the improvement in Canadian ex-
change. On the average during the
fiscal year 192', the Canadian dollar
was practically on a parity with the
United States dollar.
Canada's foreign trade was ex-
tremely actuve during the fiscal year
ended March 81, 1926, reflecting a
general improvement in the econatiric
condition of the Daminion. While
imports were less in value than for
the "peak" year, 1921, exports were
greater, being exceeded in only one
year in the history of the Dominion,
1918.
Canada's foreign trade duving the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1926,
amounted to $2,255,939,869, com-
pared with a similar trade in 1926 of
81,878,294,180 and in 1024 of 91,-
952,130,164, the increase over 1925
amounting to $377,645,689, or 21.1
per cent and over 1925 to $308,809,-
705 or 16.5 per cent.
Imports and Exports Better
Imports as well as exports show
a improveenent over the years 1925
and 192.1; the -increase in exports,
however, being greater than imports.
Of the total increase in Canada's
trade, 1926 compared with 1925,
imports accounted for 34.9 per cent.
and 'eel...rims for 65.5 per cent, where-
as imports accounted for only 11.2
per rent of the toltal increase from
1924 to 1026, while exports account-
ed Lor • 811,8 per cent
In 1020 Canada's import trade was
valued at $927,402,732, as compared
with $797, 032, 537; in 1925, and
$801,806,867 in 1924; the increase
over 1425 amounting to 5180,470,-
195, or 16.4 per rent., and over 1921
to $3-1,035,13fi11, or 3,13 per cent,
The Dominion's export trade In
1926, domestic and foreign combined
was valued at $1,328,537,137, com-
pared with $1,081,351,643 in 1925,
and$1,066,703,297 in 1924; the in-
crease over 1925 amounting to 5247-
175,494, or 22.9 per cent., and ever
1924 to 5269,773,840, or 25.5 per
cent.
Domestic Egports Increase
The domestic exports for 1926
show an increase over similar ex-
ports in 1925 of $246,125,438, or
23 per cent., and over 1924 an in-
crease of $229,841,736, or 25.8 per
cent., and over 1924 an increase of
5269,841,135, or 25.8 per cent.
Canada's total trade in 1926, while
5104,647,182 less than that for the
"peak" year since the war (1921),
shows an improvement over 1925 of
$377,646,689. The decrease in im-
ports from 1921 to 1.926 was 5312,-
756,150, svhile exports show an in-
crease of $118,109,018. Domestic
exports increased 5126,029,060,
while foreign exports show a de-
crease of 57,920,072. Only in one
Year was the Dominion export trade
greater than in 1926, namely the
war year, 1918, when it totalled $1,-
580,169,792, domestic exports am-
ounting to 51,540,027,788, and for-
eign exports to 546,142,004.
The trade of Canada with the
United Kingdom during the year
ended March 31, 1926, was valued
at $672, 988, 590, compared with a
.sbnilar trade in 1926 valued at 50411-
251,994, representing an increase of
5124,736,596, or about 22.8 per cent
Imports accounted for 10.2 per cent
of this increase, and exports for 89.8
per cent.
During the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1926, the trade of Canada
with the United States amounted to
$1,095,680,246, as against a trade
in 1925 of 5936,964,652, the in-
crease amounting to 5158,715,594,
or 16.9 per cent. Imports accounted
for 63 per cent of the tall increase,
and exports for 37 per eent.

Sunday School Lesson
BY CHARLES G. TRUMBULL
(Editor of The Sunday School Times)
THE CALL OF MOSES
Sunday, July 18.—Exodus 2:11 te
4 :18.
Golden Text:
"Certainly I wid be with thee"
'Ex. 3:12),
For forty years Moses had the best
training and education that the court
of Egypt could geve him, as an adop-
ted son of the Royal family. But he
had far more to learn of God and
God's ways.
Men of faith in God are men of
Dation; but men Of action do not al -
'gays have faith in Ged, lYloses took
precipitate action one day when, see-
ing an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew,
he promptly killed the Egyptian. He
had not consulted God, but went a-
head on his own initiative. He was
grieved by the persecution of his
kinSmen, the Hebrews, and he want-
ed to end it, but he did not go about
it in the right way.
The next day he tried to end a
quarrel between two Hebrews, and
one of them resented it, reproaching
Moses for the murder of the Egypt-
ian, which finally reached Pharaoh's
ears, and Moses' life was at stake.
That was the end of his standing at
court; he fled into the wilderness of
Horeb, came into touch with a priest
of Midian, dwelt with him, and mar-
ried his daughter. And so forty
years more passed by, Moses living
the life of a shepherd, far from both
Egyptians and Hebrews.
.His life was divided into three
great forty -year periods: the 'first
forty years at Pharaoh's court, in
splendor and luxury; the second for-
ty years an outcast in the desert, sup-
porting himself by carieg for his
father-in-law's flock; the third forty
years, in response to God's call, ad-
ministering one of the greatest, tasks
ever enthusted to a man in the hie -
tory of the world, leading Goti's
chosen people out of unspealcable
slavery, through svilderness
line, to the edge of thi, land that was
their covenanted right, and that has
been anti will yet be, the strategic
centre of human history.
After. Moses' forty years as a
shepherd, God heard Israel's cry in
Egypt, knowing the time bad come
to set His people free. Probably l
Moses had long ago abandoned any !
idea of becoming the , deliverer; he
realized, with shame and humlliation,
that he had killed his own chances of
that when he killed the Egyptian. !,
But God eves to do for a Mall the
very thing that the man has come to
see is impossible. It is never too
late for God when things are really
put into Rio hands. So He appeared
to Moses in a burning bush in the
desert.
Some one has called attention to
tWo different looks of Moses, sena-
fa:J
ated by forty years. Back in Egypt,.
before slaying the Egyptian, "he
looked this way and that way, and
when he saw that there was no man,
he slew the Egyptian." That is the
human method: to look everywhere
M earthly directions till we think It
is safe to go ahead.
But forty years later, out in the -
wilderness, Moses looked, not "this
way and that way," but fixedly at
the burning bush in evhich God was
manifested. Then we read: "And
when the Lord saw that he turned
aside to see, God called unto him
out of the midst of the bush, and
said: 'Moses, Moses.' And he said:
'Here am "
God now, at last, had the undivid-
ed attention of Moses. Anti so God
could begin to entrust a mighty un-
dertaking to the man who naa stop-
ped looking in other directions, and
was ready to look unto Him. We
often keep God waiting a long while
before we are ready to do this—
and then wonder why God keeps u$
waiting .
When the Lord had revealed to
Moses His plats for bringing Israel
out of Egypt and -bondage, He ac-
tually commissioned Moses to be the
human instrument of this deliver-
ance. "I will send thee unto Phar-
aoh," said the Lord.
What followed is not to Mos&
credit. He objected over and over
again. He began thinking about him-
self, and his weakness and unfitness
for this vast commission, instead of
thinking of the Almighty One who
was accepting te entire responsibil-
ity for the task, and who was quito.
able to carry it through. God's pat-
ience with doubting and resisting
Moses is very notable and beautiful:
it was the same patience he has to
man ifest toward us.
God told Moses what to say to the
Israelites, and promised that they
, would hearken to hie NreiCe. 3it0003
replied to God: "They will not be-
lieve me, nor hearken unto my
!voice,"
I God then entrusted supernatural
signs or miracles to Moses to use as
; credentials. And when Mosee
jeeted that he could not epeak before
!Pharaoh, because he was slow of
! speech, God - patiently answered e
"Now, therefore, go, and I will bp
, with thy mouth, and teach thee.
what* thou shalt say." Even then..
Moses hung back, until God appoint-
ed his brother Aaron the spokesman
to the people.
And so Moses accepted his divine
eommig,lon. It is a remarkable story
of God's patient, triumphant use of
a reluctant, unbelieving meesengers
until God's grace had overcome the
human unbelief, and transformed
Moses into as great a charaeter—
apart front the Son of God—as hum-
an history has ever known.
