Some Astounding Facts ' LHELM WORRYING OVER HUGE ,ESTATES AND MANY CASTLES Despite the report that the former German emperor is worrying over his financial affairs he is ,not short of money as he possessed a considerable amount oh deposit in Holland before , war began and this was added to I appreciably while hostilities werein progress. During the few stirring v�teeks preceding his abdication, Wil - 1 m il -Ilam and his followers transferred further large sums in ready cash. Told About "Brain Trust" But William is troubled as to the fate of his real estate. He possessed By Archibald Roosevelt no fewer than 55 castles, huntaxig box- es oxes and country seats scattered'"ver the empire: The revenues of these properties are for the present at least in the hands of the new government, which hitherto has paid from their proceeds all Herr Hohenzollern's bills, forwarded . to Berlin for settlement. These accounts have been quite form- idable as the imperial refugee is call- ed upon to pay for everything he con- sumes as well as for his accommoda- tion and the upkeep of his suite, be- sides paying the wages of the garden- ers wind . domestics of the Bentinck estate who render him service while wood cutting or in the household.

RCHIBALD ROOSEVELT, captain in the 26th Infantrl, American , ExpeditionarY Force, who was wounded in Fiance in August last, is the author ofau article in Everybody's Maga- zine,which should be read by any resident of the United States wh;o feels like joining in tte unfounded claim that the soldiers of` that coun- try won the war. "Lest We Forget" is the title of the article written by •a son of the late Theodore Roosevelt, whose aim ° is to hearse the forces of also fall on the Hohenzo the United States in shape for any future conflict. In its ruthless un veiling of the 'sine of omission on the part of the authorities of the United States long after • that country `had entered the war it is reminiscent of the frank language that the writers father often used when criticizing policies or men. Iii - discussing the unpreparedness of his country at the ttnie It ceased to be. a money -making onlooker -and became an active belligerent, Roose- velt says: "It is a fact that many, went to France believing that only mule wagons could be need in the transport system of an army." He cites ease after case in which. the military; authorities of the united States as well as the Government.as a whole failed to grasp the most ele- mentary principles, of the warning that the fighting in 'Europe. conveyed. with -the result ,that the training had to commence after the Americana ,had landed in France and was car- ried on largely with equipment and materials borrowed from the other belligerents. "The swivel -chair ex- perts" and "the Brain Trust at home" are two of the terms the author uses to deal with the men )who until the end of the war devoted their efforts to improve upon the'• weapons and _ other materials that the Allies had found so serviceable, with the -result that they were still- experimenting when the war ended. Gas masks were favorite objects of exReriment, with the result, he lays, "that when I left France twenty months after we had drifted into the war American gas. :masks were in the same place as the Liberty airplanes, theLiberty trucks, and the Browning machine guns. All ire figments of the imagination." Capt. Roosevelt is almost ferocious his criticisms of the rejection of the Lewis machine gun as used by the British and Belgians; ° and which wns standing the test of actual battle, waffle the Americans were telli g of the superiority that was to be found ' in the Browning gun. But up to August last "no Browning automatic • rifles or machine guns had been em- ployed with any of the fighting divi- sions on the firing line.. At the end of hostilities only a very few; of very latest arrived units were equipped with these.weapons," says Roosevelt. 'As to hand grenades, the Amer$Cams used what' they could borrow from the French, while "the Brain Trust" at home experimented to find a "per- fectly safe grenade." Caput,. Robse� veli says: "They found it. It was safe both for us and the Germans. Only a.' trained mechanic in° a lerge, quiet field could set one off. Sp up' to the time of my dep .rturct' Zroni Prance! American troops used only. French; grenades." - In concluding his article he tells 'of some United States troops at last reachipg the front line and of what they found, adding: "But most im- portant of all, the younger officers-- 1 fficers-1 am not so .sure about the older --- discovered their absolute ignorance of modern warfare." It is a pity, ill view of the con- troversy aroused by . the extreme claims of some sections of- the Unit- ed States press, that Capt. Roose- velt's article cannot be widely dis- 4141 tributed throughout- every part of. that country, so that it might reach a great mass of people who know nothing of the war beyond what they read in a class of iiewspapers which pander to national prejudices first and often deliberately distort the truth to carry on their canipatgns.

There has been no plebiscite on the matter of course, • but President Carranza, whom the sport lovers now call Car- ranza Carramba, believes that the populace will approve his, decree which transforms the great bull- ring in Mexico City into an open air opera house, Even 'if it does not - well, in Mexico there are ways of disregarding the wishes (4 the peo- ple that must fill Nothee m political leaders with, envy. undoubtedly have a good effect upon the outside world for it is evidence that Mexico intends to become civil- ized, and is willing • to forgo most of her bad old customs, except, cock- fighting and ' shooting, up American border towns. This is of vital im- portance to • the Mexican Govern- ment, for it must have foreign capi- tal if it is to be. developed. Especi- ally it must stand 'well with the United: States, if pit is to prosper. One might suggest, however, that Mexico would have, made. a better impres- sion if she had announced a modern educational programme which prom- ised to rescue the next and following generations from the illiteracy that is so general. So /Spain remains the only surviv- ing stronghold of a sport that 'was once almost as wide spread_as do- mestic cattle; We do not know that there were ever ,bull fights in England, . but there were bull bait- ings and bear baitings," -which were almost as. brutal, if more sporting in which dogs were pitted agajnst these animals. • In the bull baiting of course, the bull was not killed. He was not, indeed, seriously hurt. When he was thrown by the bull dog, that is to say when the pres- sure upon his , nose became so se- vere that he lay down, the combat was ended, and the•following week the bull was able to fight once more. But if it comes to ,brutality we think the palm must be awarded to the British race, for it was ,no -un- common thing at one- time to see a man fight a clog, teeth to teeth in England. Bull fighting remains the greatest of Spanish sports, rivalling baseball in the United States, football in England, and boxing in all Anglo - Sax on;couptries in its tremendous grip upon the general public. It was from Spain that the alleged sport spread to Latin America, but has been up- rooted, ,and now finds favor only.in its original home. That Sweet Tooth. A species of ant =-with, an inordi- nately sweet tooth, whose destructive faculties are almost Hunnish in their backdoor methods of operation, is thus described in the Detroit. Sunday Nears:- "One of the greatest pests that Haunt our orange groves is the Ar- gentine ant, and yet it never goes near the trees. Every bit of the dam- age it does is done indirectly. It 's seeds that it has a very weet tooth and is abnormally fond of a honey dew that is secreted by certain mealy bugs and scales that are most injur- ious, and it will go to any lengths to protect them from being destroyed or harmed in any way, "In Louisiana they have discovered a way of trapping these ants, They construct nests and .when they all congregate there, as they will in rainy* weather, they can destroy them. "In' California they kill them with poison syrup. When they are once gone it is easy enough to deal with their friends." She Was Disappointed. Booth Tarkington was strolling round an artistic Red Cross fair when two pretty "flappers" of sixteen or so came up and asked him for his a,utograah. "I haven't got a fountain pen," he said, much flattered, "Will pencil' do?" `Yes," said the older flapper, and he took out a pencil and. .signed his name in the morocco - bound book that she had presented. Tke flapper studied the signature with a frown. .Then she lookedup and said: "Aren't you Robert W. Chambers?" "No," he said. "I'm Booth Tarkington. ;' The dapper turned to her friend with a shrug of disgust. "Lend me your rubbed, May," she said, according to Mr. �I Tarkingtou himself, v• The bull , fight to the Spanish people is what the gladiatorial games were - to the > Romans -a bloody spectacle. It thus differs from true sports. and from the great pastimes of other countries in that, while in the United States and Cana- da there are few men who have not played baseball at some time or other, and few Englishmen who have not kicked a football or swung a chicken bat, in Spain not one roan in - ten thousand ever fights _ a 'bull,: It is a spectacle, but it is also a ritual. Every move in the combat >is marked by ceremony and old tra- dition. It is no rough and tumble scrap in which the principals devise hew tricks or rules on the spur of the moment. The bull fighters are most_ elaborately costumed. There are quite enough of them, if' each was armed with a penknife, to rush Upon the -bull and kill him' in a few moments. The first to appear in the ring are the picadores, xnen mounted on horses, sorry scrubs of little, value that are bandaged . over one eye so that they cannot see the bull. Their riders carry lances, and the bull, is Made to charge them. He cannot miss the -horse, of course, and it is the goring' of these terrified an- imals that makes the spectacle most disgusting to spectators who have Anglo-Saxon ideas of fair play. When the bull has disemboweled a few hdrses, the picadores retire, and the banderillerous appear. They /brow short darts into the bull, and display wonderful- agility in avoid- ing his frenzied rushes. By this time the animal is pretty `Quell exhausted from the " blood he has Iost and the efforts he has made to toss his en- emies. The stage is now set for the appearance of the star of the per- formance. This is the\rnatador oxo. espada. He is armed -With a short sword and carries . a cloak with which he flicks the ; bull. It " is his business to so manoeuvre the animal %hat by a single thrust: he can send his sword through the beast's heart Great finesse is required. A slight- ly misjudged blow brings hoots of honest indignation from the crowd, but the swift stroke that finds the heart instantly" is rewarded by gen- erous applause. It often happens that by the time the final thrust is "delivered, the bull is so tired that 1 he stands or lies helpless;, and could be despatched by a stagehand with an axe. Sometimes brill -fighters are killed in the ° ring, but not often.

The Government takes a rake-off on. all performances.,In Mexico it amounted to fifteen er cent. of the receipts, and sometimes on a single day's fight the Government's share has been $35,000, However, as this was in Mexican money, the Govern- ment may feel able to do without, it, if by the sacrifice, the outside world can be satisfied that Mexico has re- pented and wishes now to be admitted to the League of Nations as a self- respecting and respected people. :[ar1att' Specific Rem ves Stones Hours THE Never -Failing Remedy for Appeudictis Indigestion, Stomach Disorders, Appendicitis and Kidney Stones are often caused by Gall Stones, and mislead people until those. bad attacks of Gall Stone Calk - appear.
