Doesn't Know what to DO for the Relief
OF the money sharixss
NEW YORK, Dec. 22-A dispatch to
the Times from Washington quotes
Secretary Gage as saying:
1.-THE treasury has endeavored to
relieve a money stringency In the only
way that it could be done legitimate
ly. By offers to purchase bonds, to
anticipate interest due without and
with rebate. and to go without the in
come to be derived from internal
revenue 90 that the money could be-
come available through the deposit
tories, it has done what seemed proper
to; do.
"Since it offered to take up $25 5,0O0,-
600 of bonds. the prices of bonds have
advanced and they hold their price,
while many stocks have fallen many
points on the market. Some of the
bonds DOW on the quoted list would be
worth to purchasers less than two per
cent a. the price made. OF the $685.
OOO, 900 of bonds the treasury offered to
buy, but $50, ,OOO, 900 has been offered.
The offer Is still standing. We may
get the other ,$5. 200, 600 or Sc, 10000
"Altogether, there will be released
from the treasury and made available
for immediate use at various points,
as the treasury could not discriminate
in favor of one city in increasing its
deposits in banks about sac, 600, 900. AS
have said, the prices OF bonds have
advanced, They are now beyond the
price at which the treasury offered to
buy them. How much should the
treasury offer to pays And when 1t
has offered to pay price. will that
price be advanced again? That seems
to be a matter worthy of careful con-
fdaratiOn -

jutant General Major Heistand gives
facts and figures concerning the mill
tary department Since it's organization,
during the War of the Revolution
some of his statements are very inter
esting. During the revolution the
number of individuals actually in mill
itary service did not exceed 25Q,000; in
the war OF 1919 there was All 1929, of
which 6a,674 were regulars; In the war

Casar's Ashes,

Julius Caesar was stabbed to death in
the hall of Pompeius his ashes have
been found in their resting place in the
Roman forum, beneath a column erect
ed in his memory by Augustus. Per-
haps. no one who was present when the
urn was placed beneath the marble
gave a thought of the place that would
be accorded julius in history 20 cent
uries later. Most of them would have
accorded Augustus the higher rank,
This discovery, if authenblc,is more in

War Words That Live.

There may have been no war poetry

never be forgotten. They will be re-

report, Suspend judgment pending
investigation quenched many fires of
wrath In their inciplency, that, had
they been permitted to go unchecked,
would have developed into a harmful
conflagration. Then came the laconic
statement of Dewey before actually be-
ginning the attack on Manila last May.
"You may fire when ready, Gridley."

Irrigation on a Great Scale.

/. England is preparing to spend $780,
900 a year for thirty years for a great
lake for irrigation purposes to be made
by damming the Nile. OF the result
Of this ,dam-building, Mr., F. @. Pen
field speaks thus in the February Gent
ury:
The Egypt of the map shows more
than 100000 square miles, an expanse
nearly seven times as great as New
England; but the practical Egypt
that which produces crops and sus-
tains life--is barely as large as the
States of Vermont and Rhode Island
taken together This is the ribbon
like strip of alluVlal land bordering
the Nile, g few miles wide on each side
and measuring not more than 10,500
square miles. The extension planned
and to be completed in the next six or
eight years, wholly by irrigation, Is
no less magnificent in conception than
the frescuing from the Libyan and
Arabian deserts OF $500 square miles,
or twice the area of Rhode Island.
This will be exploitation in its truest
sense, and dts accomplishment will be
a verificatlon OF the ancient saying
that Egypt is the Nile, and the Nile is
Egypt"
AS an object lesson this Egyptian
enterprise should have no more inter
ested observers tnan in America, es-
pecially in Colorado, Nevada, Califor-
mia, and other states of the West,
where the irrigation expert is succeed
ing the railway builder as a developer.

The Private Reduced the Corporal.

At the barracks Wednesday morning
occurred an amusing and significant
incident, in which an inebriated cor
poral and an equally inebriated but
v-rtuously indignant private were the
principal figures. The corporal, like
many old soldiers, always makes pay
day the occasion Of a grand debauch.
This month he exceeded the limit and
at an early hour in the morning was
in that stage of intoxication common
ly known as "paralyzed" The benev-
olent barkeeper had thrown him upon
a billiard table and in this situation
the indignant private above mentioned
Ia notorious character about the post
found him.
WELL" he exclaimed, this a pretty
sight (hic.) He ough, to be reduced.
A noncommlssioned officer who don't
know his own name is a disgrace to
the army. / am going to reduce him
by order Of me. Give me a knife"
The knife was produced and in a mo-
ment the corporal was as bare of
stripes as the newest buck private"
in the post. In this condition he later
went to the quarters amid the jeers of
his comrades. Needless to say he will
long remember this debauch, and per
haps will keep away from the next
cne And at the same time this incl
dent goes to show in what estimation
irunkards are held among the soldiers.

he gave 1t up with the following val
