WASHINGTON LETTER
WASHINGTON. March "a.

WASHINGTON, March "a.
Senator Moses E. Clapp, Of
Minnesota, who went from
Washington to Huntington last
week to address the Progress
ives of the West Virginia State
committee and those who gath
cred with them at the Dollar
Dinner, returned greatly pleased
with the meeting and enthusiast
tic over the future of the Pro-
gressive party in West Virginia
Prior to this departure for Hunt
ington. he stated that his infor-
nation was that real Progress
ives were not represented ait the
Parkersburg meeting at which
an amalgamation of the two
parties was affected by the Re
publicans and a half dozen or so
persons representing themselves
to be members of the Progress
i've State committee. This in.
formation was corrpborated at|
Huntington, when it became
known that the Progressive State
committee wouly not agree to any
amalgamation and had not been
represented officially at Parkers-
burg. The few individuals who
appe. red and tried to bind the
Progressive State committee to
unite with the Republicans were
repudiated and the attitude Of
the State committee toward ANAL
gamation was clearly shown by
the committee when it read Will
lam o. Dawson out Of the party
and declared that it had no use
for Progressives who We're try
ing to sell them into the Repub-
lican party for the sake of Office.
Senator Clapp is opposed to any
union Of Progressive and Repub-
lican forces and has ample assur-
ance from the leaders of the
Progressive party that it win be-
maintained as separate organ
ization, and support its own can
didates.
The House committee on the
judiciary has decided that it has
no jurisdiction in the matter Of
thecharges filed with the Presi-
dent by representatives Of
Wheeling labor organizations I'M
regard to the fitness Of Judge a.
G. Dayton to sit on the federal
bench. The committee held that
the only way for the matter to
come before it properly was for
some member Of the House from
West Virginia to arise in his seat
and ask that he be impeached.
If that were done, the COMMITTEES
holds, it could then properly take

ONLY $25O,OO0,OOO IN
RESERVE BANK NOTES
Designs Present Many Sides Of U. S.
Industry and Commerce-To Be
Delivered in November.
EACH ENGRAVING WILL Be NEW

The Comptroller Of the Currency has
just given an order to the director Of
the Bureau OF Engraving and Printing
for the engraving Of 100000 OF Fed
eral reserve notes for the use Of the
twelve Federal reserve banks about to
be opened.
1t is expected deliveries Of these notes
to the banks will begin between the
hrst and fifteenth Of November.
The notes win be in denominations Of
5's.' los. 9Os. SOS and lo0s, and each
note is Of new and original design.
The % bills contain on the left hand
side Of their back an engraving OF the
landing OF Columbus and on the oppo-
site side Of the back the landing Of the
Pilgrim fathers on Plymouth Rock.
The back of the ten dollar bill rep
resents a typical manufacturing and
agricultural scene. the picture on the
left hand side showing a harvesting
scene and a modern harvester, while on
the right there is a picture Of a mod
ern factory In operation.
The engraving on the back Of the
twenty dollar bill represents transpor-
tation on land and water and In the
air. the picture on the left being a mod
ern railroad train. an automobile. and
an aeroplane. and that on the right an
ocean liner In New York harbor with
the New York skyline and the Statue
Of Liberty in the background.
The engraving on the back Of the fifty
dollar bill Is symbolicaI Of the Panama

resent America presiding over the Pan
anna Canal. the oceans representing the

EXPORTS GAIN GROUND

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

Britain never has raised enough wheat
to accommodate its own demands
On the other hand, Russia. which was
counted on to furnish large supplies of
wheat to its allies. faces a reduction Of
IS3. 10000 bushels. OF thu non-European
wheat producing countries the United
States virtually stands alone with an
increased production II is estimated
this country will have 30 OOo. 900 bushels
available for expectation, the greatest
amount by 100000 ever exported in one
year.
1t became known yesterday that
Sweden and Denmark probably will be
granted the same immunity from inter-
ference by Great Britain and France as
Holland, in the shipments Of foodstuffs.
metals and certain other conditional con-
traband imported from this -a0untTy. The
same agreement will be exacted in their
cases as In the case of Holland. namely
that none Of the material so imported
shall be exported to. Germany. Austria or
any country at war with the allies.
Allies Want FoOdrtuRs.
That the allies already are drawing
very largely upon this country for food
stuffs Is indicated by the export sta
tistics for September last, made public
yesterday. These statistics shw that We
exported 6.994. .1a pounds Of fresh beef
valued at S975!o6S last month as opposed
to e65 2sS pounds valued at S74.3os in Sep
tember. 1919
While most Of the foreign trade Increase
expected as a result Of the war should
involve Latin America, IL Is admitted that
credit difficulties will offer a great obsta-
Gle. Latin-American importers in their
dealings with Germany and Great Britain
particularly have been able to procure six
months and one year credits. which our
exporters are unable to furnish. The Fed
eral Reserve Board will make every pos
sIble effort to relieve the difficulty and
make Il possible for our merchants to
acquire permanently this valuable line Of
commerce.
Unable to obtain q continuation of the
financing of their production by Great
Britain and Germany. Latin America is
now turning to this country for funds. In.
order to hold what trade they have with
Latin America. industries must do what
they can toward financing production
there. Moreover. by dealing direct
through Latin America instead OF
through London in paying for our i'm
ports. our industries would lose much OF
the selling power OF American products.

panying the Undaunted was officially an
nounced as slight.
The Undaunted was commanded BY
Capt. Cecil II. Fox. Capt Fox was the
| commander Of the Amphion, which sank
the German armored cruiser Koenigeu
Louise and later itself was destroyed by
German mine on August G.
The Undaunted Is a vessel Of $500
tons Her armament consists of
| two six-inch and six four-inch guns.
The destroyers accompanying her are
80 feet in length and have a speed of
| twenty-nine knots Each carries 100 men.
| The Undaunted went into commission
early this year. She is 40 feet long.
equipped with turbines and has a speed
OF better than thirty knots.
More Than 200 Lost.
The German destroyers were OF the
class OF which, at the opening of the war.
Germany had ll2. all ranging in speed
from twenty to thirty-two and fYe-tenths
knots Each carries two three-pounders
or lighter guns and three or four torpedo
tubes.
While London was still flushed with the
pride of the Undaunteds achievement a
rumor, unconfirmed. was widely circu-
lated that the big cruisers Invincible
and Terrible had been sunk by German
submarines in the North Sea The runor
became 50 persistent that the official
press bureau. at the request Of the ad-
miralty. issued an official statement deny
ing the report
Another Ship sunk.
Among the officers reported to have
lost their lives yesterday in the sinking of
the Hawke is DIR. ]. H. D. Watson, the
international rugby football player who
affached the cruiser sir
geon.
Forty-eight more survivors of the
Hawke have been landed at Aberdeen
by a trawler which took them on q
Norwegian steamship. The captain OF
the steamship said he picked them up
from an overcrowded boat The sailors
declared they were unable to do any
thing for the men in the water. They
also stated that the periscope of the
submarine disappeared Immediately after
the explosion which sent the Hawke to
the bottom. With the seventy-three pre-
yiously reported saved, the survivors of
the cruiser disaster now number n Of the
crew Of approximately 400.
Another British ship was blown up by
a German mine in the North Sea today
and nine OF the crew lost their lives.
The steam trawler Ajax out OF Grimsby
struck a floating mine and sunk be-
fore all the crew could be taken on.
With the four warships sunk today, the
British navy now has TO its credit seven
torpedo boat destroyers sent to the bot
tom-six by gun FIRE and one by the sub
marine E-s. In addition, they have sunk
one Austrian and six German cruisers.
as well as several converted merchant
men, such as the Cap Trafalgar and the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse. Several Aus
trian destroyers have been sunk in the
Adriatic Sea, according to unconfirmed
reports.
The Germans have destroyed one Rus
sian and SIX English cruisers. while one
submarine has been lost to Australia by
accident. The Russians also claim to
have sunk two German submarines, but
this is denied in Berlin.
