FRANCE LACKS SMALL COINS.
Coppers Especially Are Scarce Since
the War Began.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 10.-Notices have
been posted in many of the Partisan
cafes that patrons who do not have
the right change to pay for refresh
ments will have to accept postage
stamps or checks for change for any
sum less than 10 sous. This is another
indication of the scarcity of coppers,
which numerous collections for chari
table purposes have withdrawn tenn
porarily from circulation. and the fact
that since small money became scarce
there has been tendency on the part
of the people to cling 10 what they
have. Some people are said to be
boarding coppers because they are
afraid they will get entirely out of
them. and others. it is charged. are
collecting them with the less worthy
motive of making franks premium
on every hundred francs in copper
coins delivered at certain confidential
points. 1t is the old story of the Ger
mans trying to drain France of it's
copper. The real reason is thought in
official circles to be simply that the
absence of gold overworks- all the
minor denominations, copper and nick
ell, as well as silver.
The mint is handicapped by the
mobiliZing of some of it's machines
for other urgent work for the ma
tional defense, and the copper coinage
fell last month to 100000 francs.

Mrs Hoover knew that the members
of the Ladies' Aid Society did not mean
to be unkind to her nor malicious
Most of the members were her friends
indeed, her very old friends. The older
women had gone to school together. at

broidered tiny bonnets for one anoth-
ers tiny abies, wept in sorrowfu con-
cert with one another's btryings They
were conNarsant with one anothers
business. even to the small everyday
details But there was nothing spite
full in this gossipy knowledge.
1t had come to pass. however. that
every Wednesday afternoon, when the
weekly meeting was held. was time
of torture to Mrs Hoover She held
her gray head high. She never missed
a meeting. She had too much pride to
stay away.
The society was fairly large 1t had
grown from the six CHAPTER members
of whom Alice Hoover was one-to
nearly forty. 1t had been organized
some thirty years before. And so the
older women. who composed the ma
jority sat by themselves. The fewer
young women gathered together.
But the topic of both groups was
usually their children. And Mrs. Hoo

Listening had not been so bad some
years before, when the children OF
nearly all these older women We're in
their teens. Boosting then had been
more Il matter of hope than certainty.
Mrs Hoover had made happy fore
casts with the others.
Now the teens had been left behind.
The children were doing their work in
tie world. and listening had become
tragedy to the mother of Richard
Hoover, who was getting SO a week for
driving a grocery wagon. No work to
boast of.
And she sewed steadily, but did not
look up, when Mrs. Lane mentioned
with unsuppressed price that her Dick
had taken first honors at the State Ag-
ricultural College. She sewed swiftly
and her checks were family red while
Jane Cullom poured out a glowing ac-
count of her Edde's rapid rise in the
wholesale drygoods house in Chicago,

she had pricked a finger to bleeding,
while Mrs. Howard read a letter from
Jim Howard. Jim was secretary to
the congressman from their district,
and the aid society listened avidly1 to
those snappy Washington letters. and
they acknowledged that his mother
had a perfect right to take pride in
such reading. Every one knows that
boy who is a Washington secretary
stands an excellent chance Of walking
right into the White House. Even
women who were not bit snobbish
could not help being triffe deferential
when addressing Jim's proud. happy
mother. Who knows what might hap
pen some day?
Mrs. Hoover sewed busily, while Mrs
Gary. whose Harry was exactly the
same age as Richard. complained with
a crossness that was only disguised
pride, that 1t was perfectly terrible
the way the girls telephoned to Harry
and wrote notes and came to call on
her, hoping, of course, to meet him,
and just wouldn't give him bit of

times Mrs. Hoover was frightened at
her own growing feeling of unmother-

Her. bitterness OF spirit almost
swelled into speech, upbraidings that
would prick him into action, while the
aid society arranged a big holiday en-
tertainment in the opera house to get
money to fill Christmas baskets for
the poor. 1t was a big affair, prac-

people of the town were called upon

SUFFRAGE LEADER NAMED
TO DIPLOMATIC POSITION
Sir Edward Grey Shows Courage OF
His Conviction of Equal
Rights for Sexes.
CORRESPONDENCE of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 10.-The appoint
ment of a prominent suffragst leader,
Miss Presley Smith. as an assistant
secretary in the British legation at
Christiania is a departure in British
policy and tribute to the work of
British women in the war. When the
campaign for suffrage was being waged
before the war Sir Edward Grey de-
clared himself a supporter of equal
rights for the sexes, and several mem
bers of parliament asked if the min
lister of foreign affairs would dare to
show the courage of his convictions by
appointing women to the diplomatic
service A practical answer to the
question has now been given. Norway
itself was the pioneer nation IN thls
movement, having woman secretary
Of legation on it's own diplomatic roll.
Miss Presley Smith has been the or
ganizer of the National Union for Suf-
frage in Edinburgh for the last two
and a half years, and SINCE the war
began has shown fine organizing ab1nty
in the management of societies for the
relief Of soldiers and sailors and their
families. Prominent advocates OF the
woman's movement have been urging
the government to open the higher
branches of the civil service to uni

suitability for diplomacy. There is no
doubt that Miss Smith will be per-
soma srata in Norway, since that is
suffrage country. where women are
eligible to all branches of the public
service except the army and the
church.
Miss Presley Smith was one of a
hand of women who went into the fields
as berry pickers to obtain first-hand
knowledge OF the conditions under
which women worked. The result OF
their experience was to persuade em-
blowers to raise wages and to furnish
decent shelter and food for the hun
dreds of women and girls who are
drafted from the cities in summer by
the great canning firms.

Correspondence of the Associated Press

BERLIN, October 2S.-Houston Stew
art Chamberlain. who. although the
son of an English admiral, has become
German, has contributed to one OF
the Hamburg newspapers a statement
of his views on the present and future
relations between England and Ger

lie is convinced that the war between
the two countries will last for at least
a hundred years.
He does not mean. he explains. that
the present fighting will continue fo-
so long a time, but rather that an in

which the world war is but a phase.
The German word 'kreig.'" observes
Mr.. Chamberlain. means much more
than the English word war the
French 'guerre': it really signifies an
obstinate persistence in. the endeavor
to accomplish some purpose. In this
sense the war between England and

convinced that force and sagacity will
master that difficulty. with
England however, the matter is diff
ferent For the struggle between Eng
land and Germany is no mere fight for
physical ascendancy. Each nation
wishes to secure the ascendancy for its
world philosophy. The essential aim
of the English MISUNDERSTANDING is the
of the will: the German Is
devoted to artistically- directed knowl-
edge and action.
The English philosophy produces en-
ergetic, able but ignorant undlsclplined
individuals, whereas the German meth
cd produces great mental power in the
individual and the obedient submis-
sion of all to one great purpose. Thus
the average Engl;shman is not nearly
so well educated the German, and is
less given to REJECTION.

situation has now arisen. the writ
er contends, which VIII continue until
one nation subjugates the other, for
the two cannot possibly live on the
same footing near and with one an
other. Diplomatic agreements and
courts of arbitration cannot in any
way affect such a situation. for this is
a war between two ideals of life. and
1t must be fought out-in war with
firearms and in peace with intellectual
weapons.
There is no need for hatred in this
war" says Chamberlain. and the Ger
man may properly perceive and
acknowledge all the excellent things
accomplished by the English method Of
life and thought.
But it is Impossible by any argu-
ment or proof to convince the English
man that he and his race are not pre-
destined to rule the earth. The only
way to teach the Englisiran that he
is wrong is to compel him by force to
recognize it. once Germany holds the
power III its hand it can permit the
English and others to follow the bent
of their own minds in their own
sphere. But in the meantime Germany
must be strong and intieXible.'
