 Hubbard D. Bill. Boston, Mass, Feb. sth, 1914. Another Answer To Army Problem MT. Editor: Having read the follow ing problem in Saturdays Bulletin, l send my solution. If my understand ing of the statement is incorrect or my reasoning faulty, I shall be glad to have my misconceptions righted.
 Problem: A messenger leaves the rear of an army 2S miles long as il begins it's days march. He goes to the front and at once returns, reach ing the rear when the army camps foI the night. How far did he travel if the army marched 2S miles that day We will call the messenger A and the head of the army B.
 The distance A travels to overtake (28 plus x) is to the distance E travels meanwhile (x), as the distance A travels back to his camp (x). is tC the distance B travels ahead to hi, camp (2S-x) hence we have the propor. tion 2S plus K: 2S-x. Work ing this out it will be found equals 19.S miles. Then 2S plus 19S plus 19.S equals 676 miles, A travels.

SILVER WILL RISE.

If present emergencies continue silver
is bound tn go up, says the Pitkin (Colo.)
Miner. One of the first results of the
European war was the disappearance of
gold. Had it not been for the prompt
action of this government and the COM
bined financial powers thiscountry would
have faced a panic infinitely worse than
that which swept prosperity to the winds
in 1907. Gold would have disappeared,
and there would have been nothing to
have taken its place. Fortunately pro-
vision had been made for the issuance
of ample quantities of emergency cur
rency, and the legitimate demands of
business were readily supplied.
The various countries of Europe to-
gether with the great financial powers,
are at the present moment boarding
gold.
This must eventually creates "a demand
for silver for circulating medium. Eur
ope for the time being willi be so busy
destroying life and property that she
will have to call on other nations of the
world to supply her with the necessities
of life and silver for small change.
ONot only will the United States be the
storehouse from whence to.draw extern
sively, but other parts not in the con-
flict. And Europe will find out, if.not al
ready apprised of the fact, that She can.
not buy from other countries with pieces
of paper.
England is already buying her white
metal at whatever price she can. secure
it. This is the beginning of great wave
of metal purchasing; others will soon be
obliged to follow. We may confidently
expect to see the same tremendous i'm
petus to the silver mining industry as
came after our civil war when she was
on paper basis. In a year or two after
we resumed specie payments silver for
long time was over dollar an ounce.
In the meantime this government
should render silver such assistance as is
necessary. 1t is assisting the bankers of
Wall Street and preserving the structure
of credit by means of special laws and
enactments, why should the silver min
ing industry not be given temporary
assistance until conditions are restored
to normal?

SOME LATE DISCOVERIES


President Wilson is getting an altogether un-
expected amount of support inside his own party
lon his proposal for the repeal of the Panama ca
nal tolls bill
When he first announced his intention to seek
the repeal Of the bill, it was predicted that he
would run afoul of party members who helped
frame the Democratic platform Of 1872 Now
comes Representative Adamson of Georgia.
chairman Of the interstate and foreign COM
merce committee Of the House, with the declare
ton that the provision favoring free passage for
American ships through the Panama canal was
injected into the Democratic platform withovt
the knowledge of the majority of the resolutions
committee
Branding the tolls exemption provision as
.heretic doctrine Adamson issued statement
paving the way for congressional debate on a re-
pealing bill to be introduced in accordance with
the determination of President Wilson that the
United States should recognize the claim of
Great Britain that exemption for American
ships is in violation Of the Hay-P auncefote
treaty
Senator O'Gorman, who will fight the repeal
provision in the senate, and Representative
Broussard of Louisiana, the senator-elect from
that state, were members of subcommittee at
Baltimore which wrote the tolls exemption plan
into the platform.
This late discovery concerning the baltimore
platform will remind the people of Hawaii of the
situation with regard to free sugar The Demo
cratic delegation from Hawaii thought that it
had assurances from Woodrow Wilson, then at
Scagirt, that he did not favor free sugar The
delegation went for Wilson at the proper time.
A few months afterward Wilson's true attitude
became apparent and the Bourbons who went to-
Baltimore from Hawaii found themselves ex-
tremely busy explaining the situation.
