REIMBURSEMENT IS
 ALREADY UNDER WAY
Trouble Has Been Caused By Un. precedented Volume of Exports which May Be Over $1,O00, ,00O,-
 900 In Our Favor
By Fl UPLAND

New York, February Especially J In 1899, the London banks cheerfully fa- cilitated a movement of $100 100000 of gold from London principally to the United States. Up to that time, no similar amount within a like brief pe- riof of time ever crossed the ocean for delivery at New York.
 few years later the United States was able to give some assistance to Great Britain at the time of the Boer war, although. of course. it was tenn porary. not large and represented an emergency situation. In 1907 the Eng fish bankers cordially assisted in pro- viding the United States with gold enough to enable us to furnish S400,- 100000 new credit. for S100, ,000.O in gold was shipped. This shipment. which was practically a single transaction, al- though it extended over a few weeks, made it possible to master the currency panic of the fall of that year. In 1899, the shipment of gold from London to this country was so heavy and rapid that the authorities of the clearing house were in great embarrassment be- cause the institution at that time did not have convenient vault for storage
 
 Frederick D. Tappan, chairman of the committee to order that the gold be placed on temporary shelves that were built for that purpose in the clearing house vault aisles. This shipment led to plans for the construction at Pitts burg of what was to be at that time the largest vault set up in any institu- tion in the United States
 At the time of the first Balkan war, when Germany was in considerable fi- nancial distress. the American bankers gladly responded to appeal for as- sistance and gave financial aid variously estimated. The figure commonly men, tioned was somewhat in excess of $100,- 0o0, 00O
 These transactions are selected from a good many illustrations which reveal how closely unified the great nations or the world have become within re- spect to their financial associations Now we are to have another illustration. The changes that have been recently in progress have been as undemonstratiye as the gradual changes of the season. But within few days there has come a curious financial storm which is so violent as visibly to demonstrate the Tact that stupendous changes are now In progress. These are of especial i'm portance to our domestic business ac-

EDUCATORS TALK
 ON M|L|TAR|SM Schaeffer Opposes Military Activities in Public
 Schools

Cincinnati. February 24.-The intro duction of militarism into the public schools would be "organized insanity according to N. |. Schaeffer, state su- perintendent of public schools of Penn sylvania, before the department of su- perintendence of the National Education assoeia ton here tonight. Tonights pro gramme was devoted to discussions on the topic should Our Education Sys- tenn Include Activities Whose Special Purpose Is Preparation for Var"
 Dr. Schaeffer said:
 With the demand that militarism form an integral part of vocational training the teachers distraction reaches a eli max. If sine should succeed in fulfill ing this latest requirement. the public schools would develop race of amaz- ons more fierce than the militant suf- fragettes.
 "Militarism does not develop the sense of duty such as the Sunday school inculeates, but justifies spying, lying, forging letters. telegrams and signals to mislead the enemy Having been taught that 1t is right to suspend the decalogue for his countrys sake, the pupil afterwards repeals the 10 com mandments for his own sake whenever any advantage can thereby be gained in the political or financial world"
 John H. Finley, president of the Uni versity of the State of New York, and state commissioner of education. said:
 If by our educational system you mean our elementary and secondary schools and if by war you mean the helliSh thing which is now going on in Europe, the greatest savage game played under international rules then say no; our educational system in its basic nation wide principles. in it's erstwhile racial heritages and it's Vo- cational courses. should not include those whose special purpose is prepa- ration for war"
