 Mr.N c. Fl. Kimball
 Norwich Town, Conn. Dear Sir:
 For the first time we are addressing a communication to you at your home. The reason for doing so is in the fol- lowing paragraph.
 In a recent letter, MT. and Mrs. Rud- yard Kipling tell us of a plan they are working out for making bandages for the wounded out of old household linen, and they have asked us to for ward such material with the assurance that every bit of it will be carefully used.
 Some. of our friends have already been kind enough to send us old linen sheets, towels, napkins, etc, to be used for this purpose, as it is much better than commercially made ban dageS. If you have any material of this kind that is old and soft and which you are willing to contribute, please send it to the office of Double day, Page & Co, II West 32d street, New York, and we will sec that it is delivered without expense to MT. and Mrs. Kipling in England.
 Very truly yours,
 Doubleday, Page & Co.
 Mir Kimbau will see that all such linen obtainable in Norwich reaches Doubleday, Page 6 Co. and they may be trusted to forward same with dis patch to it's destination.

The Washington times., 1914-08-16

The New York Stats Zeitung this
morning published a wireless direct
from Germany, via Sayville. L. l.,
completely denying that there had
been a renewed repulse Of the Ger
mans in Alsace, as cabled from
Paris, wherein the entire Bavarian
army corps had been ''annihilated.
This is a true story: The Seventh
French army corps and one division
taken from the rock fortress of Bel
fort, attempted a renewed invasion
into upper Alsace. They were driven
back into France, after the French
entertainments had been stormed.
CThe Seventh French army corps Is
comprised of the Thirteenth, Four
teenth and Forty-first Infantry reg
iments and, in times Of peace, Is
stationed in and about Bescancoh.)
That the Paris dispatch is not ex-
act is shown by the fact, that the
places mentioned as being "retaken III
Alsace," are not at all in Alsacs' out
in France, as for example, Blamont'
Circey and Avricourt.
II is further explained what the
sentence advance into upper Vos-
ges'' really means. The French
invaders, having advanced as far
as the mountain passes that deVide
Alsace from France, IL not repulsed
were bottled UP in the mountains.
How they ever mean to escape, see
ing that German and Austrian forces
are pouring into upper Alsace, re-
mains to be seen.
one of the Stats Zeitung's repre-
sentatives in Germany has managed
to inform the paper that the first
great battle between the Germans
and the allies has begun already,
the Kaiser's men attempting to out
flank the allied left wing and to
drive the enemy back toward Brus-
sells and Antwerp. This last item
has been conffra1ed from Brussels,
where all preparations are being
made kurriedly to meet "a German
attack. That the German advance
ace to the Belgian capital, is evil
denced by the news coming from
London that the Kaiser's infantry
is massing in great number at
Mechlin, the famous lace manufac-
turing town. in close proximity to
Brussels. The newspapers in the
capital publish warnings to the cltl-
zenry to keep their doors and Win
dows tightly closed. Suburbanites,
especially, are warned not to await
the coming of the invaders, but to
leave their homes so as to prevent
the Germans from accusing them of
using firearms against the soldiers,
and to order reprisals. This comes
pretty near to being the real thing.
and. apparently. the Belgians are
afraid of losing their fine capital. All

"F|AT|SM RUN MAD"

"'Fiatism run mad" is the term used
by Chairman Carter Glass. of the House
Banking and Currency Committee, in
statement issued regarding the pro-
posal which comes from certain New
York bankers to permit the use of ma
tional bank notes, instead of gold and
lawful money, as reserves under the
new currency system The Glass state
ment scores F. A. Vanderlip as the
sponsor for the plan, and Mr.. Glass
says he has received telegraphic protest
In the name Of many New York bankers
against the proposal.
The telegram to me states" says
Mr.. Glass, that many Of the New York
bankers are violently opposed to such
a scheme and that national bank notes
are liability of the banks issuing the
same, and not an asset. A liability

lied to be issued under the Federal
Reserve act. These Federal Reserve
notes will have 40 per cnt gold reserve

assets of the reserve banks. They have
not one element of fiatism about them.
But If Mr.. Vanderlip really thinks
the notes authorized by the Federal Re

in the name of heaven, must he think
of the proposition which he now makes
to Congress to open wide the throttle
and permit currency and credit issues
to be based on the liabilities rather than
the assets of the banks. without one
dollar Of gold reserve as security?
1T seems to me this is 'fiatism' run
mad. Furthermore. II suggests that
we should temporarily repudiate our
gold obligations at home TO help GER

ion should be entertained for one, min
