ered his own name and found his

State Department Awaits
Official Reports of
LeelanaW's Sinking

Administration circles awaited today
official advices concerning the destruc-
tion Of the American freighter Leela ma ",
which was sunk by a German sub
marine yesterday.
Unofficial reports Of the incident are
not such as TO excite Government
authorities. Tho attack upon the
steamer is not approved, Of course. but
1t Is not believed the incident will add
any great strain to the present relations
between Germany and the United States.
That the destruction of the Leelanaw
does not assume special Importance to-
day Is due to several attendant circum-
stances. Apparently reliable reports
that the vessel was warned before at
tack; that her crew escaped and re-
ceived considerate treatment when taken
aboard the German submarine and that
the vessel carried fax. an article on
the German contraband list, have served
to minimize the Importance Of the Incl
dent and to prevent its having a serious
and disturbing bearing upon the rela-
tons between the two governments.
There still exists, however, a diplo-
matte difference uf opinion regarding the
right of the Germans actually to de-
stroy vessel carrying contraband. This
Issue was raised in the case Of the
William p. Frye, but Germany does not
give to the treaty Of 1928 the construc-
tion placed thereon by the United States.

Rare Collection of
Coins Buried Near
The German Morch

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. Cone
of the finest coin collections in the
world is housed in the home of pri-
vate collector in Pskof, city midway
between Dvinsk and Petrograd, upon
the Warsaw-P etrograd Railroad along
which the Germans are endeaVoring to
advance, and the collection is one of
the most valuable things to be found III
the country around this city-gateway
to the immemorial lands of the Slav.
according to a bulletin issued today by
the National Geographic Society. M.
Plushkin, the proprietor Of Pskof's
principal drygoods store, is the owner
and gatherer of the collection which
has made him known in many foreign
lands and which is easily the most m
teresting thing in the hoary city, once
republic and the rival of Novogorod
the Great.
m. Pluskin lives above his store,
surrounded by his wonderful collec~
ton of coins and many other curios
and antiquities which he has gathered
during twenty years. The other treas
ures of this strange collector are OF
chaotic variety, and fill several rooms
of his home. The coin collection is
the only part of his museum which
contains wide assortment of valuable
articles that M. Plushkin has has AT
tempted to order and classify. Numis
matologists everywhere know this col
lection, and consider it one of the best
and most complete in the world, better
than similar collection to be found
in the Hermitage.
Earlist Russian Coins.
There are any number OF Russian
coins in the cabinet Among these are
examples of the earliest coins of Rus
STA, the oldest of which do not date
further back than $50. There are bars
and half bars of silver, valued at two
roubles and one rouble There are anc
lent coins of Pskof, Novgorod the
Great, Kief, Tver an dother towns, each
with its distinctive stamp. One of the
old roubles is a coin eight inches
square, a formidable piece of wealth
There is another rouble in the collec-
ton, made of bronze which weighs
seven pounds. In this old money, forty
roubles, worth today about $40, would
weigh their happy possessor down like
a sack of potatoes. Papal, Mohamme
dan and Jewish coins, the latter bear
ing the stamp of Solomon's temple are
represented together with concaye
coins of Byzantium, square Swedish
coins of brass, remarkable coins used
by the republic of Pskof, and some
Chinese coins of the year 1000 B. C.
Rare specimens of the coinage of al
most every nation of Europe are found
in the collection. One of the oldes,
was started upon it's career in the year
1900 B. c., and has seen more than 4
600 years of existence, or has become
quite old as most things go.
