ENGLAND'S CURRENCY.
Confusion Concerning the Treasury
Notes Corrected.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir. It
seems to me that your correspondent
Mr.. Oberfohren il sadly confused In
reference to the revolution in financial
methods brought about by the necessities
OF England to do her part effectively in
the great war.
The treasury notes of Great Britain
are legal tender. money. and carry no
inscription which implies redemption in
coin. nor Is there any exception to their
use. as was the case with the issue Of
greenbacks by our country during the
war Of the rebellion. So far as that par
ticular issue is concerned England is
not required to provide IA und OF metal
for either their redemption or security.
The good faith OF the empire. the COM
bined wealth of Great Britain and her
dependencies. rs the security buttressing
the current values of those notes. This
Is the marked distinction w the
Treasury and Bank of England note
issues.
In the emission of the notes the Eng
lish Government not only adopted a
method to aid in carrying on a great war
but also furnished the way and means
whereby the commerce of the empire
may be carried on when the war shall
have terminated, a far more effective in
against German importations
than "a protective tariff would be. Once
the English people realize the conven-
ience and advantages OF paper money
they are not likely to revert to bullion
or coined metal for the internal com
merce Of the empire.

Another Gun Fired In the Campaign
for 1915.

To rHE EDITOR or II SVN-Sir; Mr..
Wilson misht have made as good a peace
President a. some others. but in the face
Of DANCE he has failed. Even should
he manage to wriggle out of war at the
present time. he has failed, for the rel-
son that he has brought the nation into
disgrace before the world, and created
a situation under which war. If not now,
then at some future time, can hardly
be averted. except by good fortune. upon
which We have no right to depend.
What We needed in this crisis was a
President who fully understood that 'ln
a crisis the duty OF a leader is to lead
and not to take refuge behind the gen.
orally timid wisdom of a multitude OF
counsellers' a President capable of Civ
ing sue advice as this
Let us make 1t evident that we Intend
TO do Justice. Then let us make It
equally evident that We will not tolerate
injustice being done to MS In return. Let
US further make It evident that we use
no words which We are not prepared TO
hack up with deeds. and that while our
speech ia always moderate, we are ready
and willing TO make II good. Such an at
titnde Will be the surest guarantee OF that
self-respecting peace the attainment OF
which is and must ever he the prime aim
OF a self-soverning people.
1t is the great tragedy of Woodrow
Wilson and of the nation that he led
US wrong in the beginning and tina now
there Is no going back. We are peril
ously near the point at which we shall
have to decide between a d~isgraceful peace
or a war almost as d~isgraccful because,
again thanks to MIR. Wilson'S temporiz-
ing, we are u~nprepared to put up a good
fight. This is not to say that in his at
titude toward the army and the navy
the President is more culpable thar some

the error of President Wilson has come

But where are we now?
Despite TIE Mexican hasco We have
tried to believe in Mr.. Wilson and To

his lofty sounding words, and even when
we have felt some doubt as to the wis

England Turning to Compulsory
Service.

After the acclaim that greeted the
final response to Lord DERBy's re-
cruiting plan. when hundreds Of thou.
sands Of men swarmed into the at
testing offices. the uninitiated fail
to understand why 1t should be nec-
essary to resort to CONSUMPTION In
England. The explanation Is very
simple: the married men, who had
the Governments assurance that they
would not he called on first. regis
tered practically as Il unit. but among
the single lei the name of the
''slackers' was legion. 1t Is 10 drive
them into the ranks that the Govern
ment must bring in u form Of con
scription. England cannO rely upon
the voluntary system il the human
wnsiage ut the front Is to be re-
placed. That can be mnthemattcally
demonstrated. assuming that the war
will last through the next year.
There will he opposition in Parlia-
ment to abandonment of the volun-
tnry system, and Ministers who OPP

The argument that the system Is not

now In uniform and the response to
Lord DERBy's appeal reflected a will
ingness among able bodied men, to
join the colors If they were needed
has a certain force, and there Is
something In the fear that compulsory
service once adopted there will h.
no backward step. Nevertheless the
presumption Is that the Government
will be able to redeem It's pledge tn
the married men.
The '~slackers' are in an indefensi-
bic position. and public sentiment,
which has been hardening against
them. will determine the issue. That
compulsory service would become
necessary has been evident for some
time. Between the lines of Lord
K%ITCHENER's speeches could be read
his conviction that it was unacceptable.
Mr.. LLOYD GEORGE was convinced In

peals have been irresistible. 1t Is
