Four of the five brothers wanted to keep out of this hornet’s nest, but Nathan, in London, wanted to grab certain Quicksilver mines in Spain which would ive the Rothschild house, already own- the Austrian min mnnogol He therefore negotiated a loan of 16,000,000 francs with Toreno. Break Spanish Minister. ‘Toreno, however, was & bad Iot. He demanded more money, and, refused it, loan elsewhere, thereby imperiling 's already rocky finances. Nathan now became anti-Toreno and with his brothers pressed for repayment of their Joan. Toreno, contemptuous and an- noyed, at length handed over part in cash and part in the doubtful paper of the new loan Even this unsatisfactory settlment cost the Rothschilds 1,600,000 frencs in @ bribe to Toreno. Their ire aroused, they held a council of war, and agreed to bear Spanish rentes in Londo: operation was a complete Spanish funds fell from 70 to 37, sands of holders were ruined (Solomon. who had come to London, was afraid to go out lest some one vho had lost everything in Spanish bonds murder him). but the Rothschilds were avenged on_Toreno.

But we need not ’g: far for argu- ments to answer Mr. Davis’ contentions. ‘They are contained in the course of his own article, with his own words.

But the other branches of the Rothschilds this time do not seem to have supported their hard pressed kinsfolk to the limit. Still, the situation is not a new one for this old financial dynasty. And un- less the stock is getting worn out by too much interbreeding—the Paris house is still adventurous, but the Lon- don house devotes itself to conserving its capital rather than risking it in new ventures—much water will have to flow under the bridge of time and of events before we see these Austrian Rothschilds going out of business and retiring to their Enhoes and estates as private individual — | Dresden Will Exhibit Church Artin U, S.

Siegfried Scharfs of Halle. for- mer professor of art history at the University of Wisconsin, is going to leave for America to make preparations for the exhibition. He will hold lectures in & number of universities, among them Harvard, Cleveland, Chicago, Johns Hopkins and Michigan, includ- ing various church organizations. The proposal to hold the exhibition, to be termed “Religion and Art."” evoked widest interest from the beginning. Offers of support were received from both the Lutheran and Episcopal Churches and from the Carnegie In- stitute, the Carl Schurz Memorial in Philadelphia, the In- titute of International Education and other bodies, all of which expresed a desire to make the exhidition more comprehensive than had been originally planned.

NOVEMBER 1, BLESSED ARE THE COMPETENT BY BRUCE N important New Yorker called me up to ask about two doctors who run a town in Canada. that I had visited them some years ago and that they dia me much good. I described them to him in the words of one of their atients. “They are human errets,” I said. “Tiiey seem to be able to discover and cor- rect conditions where even specialists have failed.” The man went up to the clinic ana stayed three weeks. Yesterday he telephoned me to say t he had not felt 80 well in years. He was so enthusiastic that I could hardly %et him off the phone. 1 sent another man up to Bill Brown’s health farm, op- te West Point. The man wireless sys- | vice president of a business that has had plenty of prob- lems. He was nervous and discouraged. He came back from Bill's on the top of the world. I referred a friend to an architect who has aone some * very clever work for us on our country house. My friend was delighted. The doctors write me letters of thanks. So does Bill. 8o does the architect. They think I have done them 'a friendly service. I reply that, on the contrary, the obligation is en- tirely on my part. They have given me one of the best pleasures in life, the pleasure of recommending some one who is really competent. How seldom we have that pleasure. What a discourag- BARTON. ing lot of applications we re- ceive from men who want to do something, but have never done anything really well. It is time for some one to reprint and redistribute Elbert Hubbard’s “Message 0 Gar- cia.” It tells, you remember, how President McKinley, when the Spanish War broke out, needed to get immediate wora to the leader of the Cuban in- surgents, Gen. Garcia. Some one told the President that there was a man named Maj. A. 8. Rowan who could find Garcia. Maj. Rowan took the letter, asked no questions, sought no airections or advice, but quiet- Lx and promptly set sail for uba, made his’ way through the wilderness and delivered the letter. Hubbard sang his praises. “Civilization is one long anx- fous search for just such individuals,” he exclaimed. “Anything such a man asks shall be grantea. He is wanted in every city, town and village —in every office, shop, store and factory. The world cries out for such; he is needed and needed badly—the man who can ‘Carry a Message to Garela.” I do not think that hu- manity is inherently selfish or hard-boilea. I think there are many business men who would like to help their fel- lows to better j or more business. But so few of those who want help have ever de- livered anything. Now and then comes one who does deliver. And what a joy it is to recommend him! (Copyrisht, 1931.)

This temple, built of wood and crude bricks, resembles the ancient and most highly venerated Temple of Hera in Olympia. Portico Is Enlarged. In the fourth century B. C. a more ample portico was built around the in- ner room of this temple, exactly above the original 8o constructed that it con- cealed it, but with a staircase of com- munication between the original struc- ture and the one superimposed. In front of the temple arose the frelt altar of Apollo, 22 meters in ength. With such vast dimensions, must have been most impressive, was constructed of blocks of tufs volcanic stone, and is identical and contemporaneous with the more ancient Apollonium. - Philon, sons of Annikeris, and possibly a friend of Plato, restored the steps in the fourth century B.C. and covered the altar plate with im- ported marble. The Byzantines, as mentioned above, had carried away the marbles of Philon | and adapted them to the pavements of their baths. It has been our job to remove these marbles and replace them in their original positions, thus restor- ing its sumptuous aspect to the altar. On the northern side the ancient dedi- catory inscription of Philon can still | be read. Temple Uncovered. ‘When the first excavators uncovered the Temple of Artemis, they found that it was a rectangular edifice constructed of huge blocks of tufa; the entrance was provided with a rich portal of sculptured marble. In the vestibule a statue of Apollo is preserved. a re- construction of the temple, rendered necessary by the Jewish conflagration, | a portico with two columns had been | added on the eastern side. That this temple was dedicated to Artemis there can be no doubt, as we learn from the inscriptions and, above all, from the kead of the goddess, a delicate, orig- | inal sculpture, possible the work of a sculptor of Asia Minor in the third or | second centuries B.C. | The latest excavations have revealed | below the Greco-Roman temple the re- mains of a smaller and still more an- cient Artemisium, of the beginning of the sixth century B.C. atiested by parts of columns, by statue of a deity inscribed with an| archaic dedication and by the remains cred repository.

C. Head of Agrippina. Behind the southern wall of the lit- tle temple and evidently rolled there from a height was a splendid marble head of the famous Roman matron Agrippina the Elder, one of the finest portraits of the Age of Augustus. Another admirable head, in bronze, was discoveréd near the southwest cor- ner of the Apollonium; it was the por- trait of a victor in the sacred games, possibly of a Cyrenian sovereign, the style being that of an original dating from the middle of the fifth century . C. Among these remains of religious great Spring of Apollo and stairways which ascended in a southerly direction toward the highest platform of the sanctuary. At the point where the Sacred Way turned towsrd the temples after pass- ing the columnar entrance gateway we found an elegant fountain of Hel- lenic construction, with its rectangular inclosure formed of square blocks. Victory Edifice Described. ‘The most recent excavations in this area have hroushc to light a rectangu- lar edifice, built against the wall of heavy blocks and evidently constructed between the fourth and third centuries B. C. in memory of a victory. With its ancient material Fut back in place, we now can see it in its original aspect. It rises from a base of three steps; its front, toward the north, is adorned with a sculptured portal. In the in- scription are preserved the names of three generals of Cyrene, who state that they dedicated this monument to Apollo, it being a tenth part of the booty taken from the enemy. Above the doorway there must have been another inscrip- tion, but it was cut away by a func- tionary of the Emperor of Tiberius, a certain Sufenas Proculus, who had a new dedication carved there, conse- crating the monument to this sovereign. At one end of the temple was a marbie tatue of Tiebrius, standing erect and holdtn%l globe in his right hand. To the west of the votive monument we have discovered s hundred small tables for holding offerings, and minfa- ture altars made of volcanic stone, with dedications to various divinities super- on one another. Among these was a marble column upon Which there was incised, in clear characters, an in- scription of exceptional historical and political importance. This inscription transmits to us the will by the terms of which Ptolemy Euergetes II, called Physcon, bequeathed to the Romans his enaica, in case of his legitimate heirs. This is the only one of the famous testaments in favor of Rome, left by foreign kings, which has been preserved to our day.

Yet those items, the interest on the public debt and the payments to the veterans constitute more than $2,- 200,000,600 or more than half of our total Federal expenditures. Tremendous Demands. On the other hand, s recent caller at the White House, representing the Veterans of Foreign Wars, urged upon the President the immediate F.ymnt to the soldiers of compensation. cer- tificates which are not due for a num- ber of years, and whose payment at this time would cause an immediate expendi- ture of about two billion dollars. Not- withstanding the fact that every one knows we are facing an annual deficit of about one billion doliars or more, there are tremendous demands that we indulge in a huudind; program covering not only public bulldings and roads, but gther ublic works to the extent of ve grain and give it away to the tune of several hundred million dollars; that we help the banks to get rid of mort- ggu which they are carrying to the e of two billion dallars.

The gentlemen who want us to spend all this money sug- gest that it can all be borrowed, and therefor will not increase taxes. I wonder if any one believes that. I wonder if any one thinks the money which the Government spends does not eventually come out of the pockets of the tax- payers? Even supposing that it were possible to float in these days of fear and depression a loan of ten billion dollars to cover these worthy projects, we certainly could not do so without offering to pay at least 4 per cent. In fact, Liberty bonds today cannot be sold at_that rate. It is nearer 4% per cent. But even supposing the rate were 4 per cent, the annual cost to the tax- payer of interest on this' new public debt would be four hundred million dol lars, or more than a million dollars a day. We are already ruxmu}fi behind to the tune of about three million dol- lars a day. and thé adoption of these als would simply increase our by another one million dollars a day. ‘Where is it going to stop? How are we going to stop it? What are we going to do about it? Are we going to borrow billions and push a still heavier burden onto the shoulders of our children and the next generation? If not, must we not increase the income tax all up and down the line, lower the brackets and raise the rates even though everybody's income has been serously diminished? Should we not impose a selective sales tax on things which we all like to use and enjoy like automobiles and radios?
