RUMORS have already reached
Washington Of the intention of Eng
lish financiers to brighten the admins
tratlon by attempting to bring on
money panic by unloading American
securities held by them. Those ru-
mors cause no uneasiness in our ma
tional capital; such action would be
more costly to the British than war
would be. The silver men in Con-
gress would welcome such a move on
the part oithe British, as they believe
it would result in the United States
setting up an independent financial
policy of its own. This country has
too many resources which its patriotic
cirizens would place at the disposal Of
the government to be frightened by
such rumors- Sun.

them Is most unique. There Is no eN-

trained pigs and dogs are used. Their
acute sense OF smell locates the trutiles

are passionately fond Of truiiies, and worn
with greater diligence. To keep them
in good humor and encourage them, the
peasants occasionally give them small
