 AS FOREIGN GOLD
 COMES POURING IN

NEW YORK. June 2.--The manner in which EuTope's enormous purchases Of war supplies arc draining her gold Into the coGers oi the United States was strikingly exemplined in Wall Street yesterday by two outstsndin6 incidents.
 The first was che arrival at the Sub-Treasury Of another S5.oo0,0O0 in gold from Ottawa, Canada, for the ac- count oi J. P. Morgan 6 Co., making Sl5.0oo.00o In gold which has been brought Into the country by this firm In the last ten days. The second. and even more remarkable event. was the drop of French exchange to 5.4S15. the lowest point in history.
 This means that France's credit In this country has been strained to such Q point that 5.fs5S francs are required to balance one American dollar in the New York market. The par figures os French exchange are 5.1S3s. at which ] franc is worth a triae more than 19 cents in American money. The franc has now declined until 1t is worth only a trlne over IS cents. 1t has never been valued so tow since the New York Stock Exchange was founded.
 Predicted Gold Exporso to U. 8,
 Financial experts had figured that when French exchange got as low as 5.2OM France must export gold Co this country. But the exchange has now gone more than twenty points below this figure. in spite of tho facts that there have already been cnorm- ous shipments of French gold to America and that France long ago established in London Q credit of s400o0.0O0 for the sole purpose Of i- nancing her American purchases of supplies.
 Just what course win now be taken by Frances Finance Ministers is not yet known. but it Is evident that she cannot permit her credit In this coun- try to fall much lower without fear of virtual demoralization.
 The exchange market yesterday showed plainly that few, ii any of the belligerent nations were much better oft than France. Italian exchange ai- SO fell heavily. end although it did not reach the low record Of the early spring. when Italy was straining every nerve to complete her advance pur- chases of war. material. it was quoted yesterday ct 5.91is. while on that pre- yious occasion it touched 5.95. This means in plain terms, that 1t took 5.911s lire yesterday to purchase one

 British Pound Bnys Less Now.
 Neither London nor Berlin exchange has been subject to quite such start lirg drops as this, but London eS. change. despite the pouring in-o Am- erica of British gold at the rate Of million dollars 9 day does littie more than remain stead aE Sf.7S3a to Che pound sterling. whereas in normal tines it required s4S61s to make up one pound. As for Berlin exchange, normal figures quote 4 marks as worth s51s cents. Four marks wiil now bring only S27s cents.
 As showing Americas position n consequence of this state of affairs. it fs. only necessary to point out that the banks and trust companies form, Ing the New York Clearing House re- ported balances Saturday totalling s1Ss. .000,000 moro than the legal re- Quirements. Money 10 loan was in consequence so plentiful yesterday that borrowers had only to pay 2 per cent. on call for it-so eager were the banks to put their huge surpluses to work.
 Greatest Creditor Nation.
 One Of the greatest hnaRciers of che United States. discussing the mean. Ing ot this situation yesterday with a World representative. declared it meant isut one thin. that whether or not United States enters tho war this country win become the worlds great est creditor nation. with financial supremacy that cannot be questioned.
 The outstanding debt of the United States IS now $1.02S.564,000. Interest on this amount Is paid at the rate of from 9 to 4 per cent. annually. This same anancier estimates that at the end of the war the belligerent na- tions will be owning close to S25,000,- 100000. on which they must pay an nually. in interest. total sum as great as the present debt of the Unit cd States.
 American Dollar in chlii.
 At the time that the French and Italian exchange figures were prol claiming yesterday that the Amerl. can dollar has become the worlds standard Of money value. Leopold Frederick. financial adviser of the American Smelling and Refining com pany. just returned from Washington, was announcing that his plan to have the dollar officially quoted on the Var paraiso, Chill. Stock Exchange. had been adopted.
 Tn order to reap the benefits of this new system. NIr Fredrlck suggested that in the future the Chilian gov ernment should be requested to per nit exporters to the United States to pay export duties on nitrate of soda Chni's chief commodity, by ninety day sight bills iu dollars on New York. Hitherto these duties had tc be paid either in gold or in bills or London. The change would establish direct financial relations between chii and New York. - (New Yori ! Worid.)

BOSTON. June 3.-Eyery day seems to increase the confidence in the fi- nancial and commercial position of the United States. This is the result of the European war While every other nation has been crippled be- cause of the struggle, we have been supplying the demands for war mu- nitions and have been accommodating the credits.
 It looks now as if we should have a foreign trade balance something like S1.OOO,OOO,O0o June 30. the close of the fiscal year.
 People are just awakening to the meaning of all this. Moreover there is every indication that our goods will continue to 80 out for long time to come and our credits increase. What the end will be no one eau predict with certainty. but 1t Is safe to say that we are steadily tightening our grip on the worlds gold.
 The brightest minds see in our re- msrkable position situation calcu- lated to arouse the greatest amount of courage and enthusiasm.

Editor Review
Sufficiently there appeared in the
Review an article termed Chasing
Rainbows.' Right here i'm Llndon,
through lack of little capital, work
has stopped on proposition that bids
fair TO give Linden one OF the best
water systems obtainable anywhere.
The Eulmer tunnel is now In twenty
SIX hundred feet and stream of
water large enough to half fill four
inch pipe has been secured. That a
larger stream can be had with a
little more work is quite c1tain
Means to continue the work, however,
are lacking, and il is hoped that some
OF those interested in the Linden wa
ter works will interest themselves in
the work. The water is the purest
obtainable, being entirely free from
confirmation, and by means of q
small underground reservoir the pre-
sent stream would easily supply a
dozen families with culinary water.

What Shall We Do
With Central Park

What shall we do with Central
Park Is the question that will soon be
put up to the people, and which they
must soon answer one way or the
other. IL was purchased several years
ago to be used for public purposes,
a few trees planted out, base ball
stand erected, and otherwise made
into base ball ground for general
amusement purposes. $1,000 on the
purchase price and improvements
has been spent, but there is yet due
about $1,000. The time has come
when this money must be paid or the
park be sold to some one for farm
ing purposes. There are eight acres
in 1t. with full water right, so It will
easily sell for $500. But can the
people afford to be without such a
place? Every go-ahead place has a
suitable ball park and a place for
general amusements, and sooner or
later this community must have one

Since the publication OF our last

the telephone complaining that the
article on Chasing RalnDows" was
an intended reflection OH several oil
our leading citizens. II was certain
~ not intended as such, for those who
we're caught with the glib talk OF the
glass promoter are some OF our very
pest and leading citizens. They not
only are helping In every way with

Our sole aim in using the suits as

taken In by the same scheme las'
year, and almost every one would

We certainly think that the Pleasan
Grove citizens who purchased the
stock are doing the general public
service by commencing suit for al
accounting by the glass promoters.
