 Since the outbreak of the war, the German Reich bank has succeeded in uncoverng and bringing into its vaults some SSO0OOOO0O of gold which had been held or hidden among the people in coin otherwise and which has been voluntarily exchanged for banrnotes
 This remarkable performance has now attracted the initiative attention of other countries The French government has started similar campaign through the Bank of France with the immediate result of bringing out long lines of people offering gold for banknotes Premier Asquith has intmated that the British people hold large amounts gold out of circulation and hopes they win bring it forward in subscriptions to the new bond issue AustriaHungary is starting similar movement
 Hoardng is not habit of any of these people so much as it was before the rise of the great public debts the appeals Of modern industraism to popu lar confidence in corporate investment It has been less a habit with England and Germany than with France. whose unsuspected hoards of coin among a thrifty peasantry enabled that country to amaze the world with its rapidity in paying off the bilhon-dolar German war indemnity of 1871.
 But Germany has shown what vast gold resources the other countries must have hidden away which may be called forth for monetary uses One result of the war will be an immense addition to the worlds none tary stocks of gold aside from mine production.

Hudson Maxim says in the Boston Sunday Post: 'Tt is a warfare of ex- plosives. Attacking forces must dis emburrow the defending forces; they must be blasted out of the ground America's plants for the production of explosives cartridges. shrapnel and rifles have so increased their ca pacity that we have today ten times the capacity which We had at the time of the wars outbreak and for certain things the increase has been greater. By the middle of next winter our ca pacity will be thirty-fold wh>t 1t was at the beginning of the war.

one morning. THAT dog Catsup has
been up to mischief again. What

"Whatsermatter asked Sugar

Just then Catsup came around the
corner and Sugar Plum started after
him. Away they went, through the
toy factory and all over the place
until Catsup jumped into the Lollypop

When Sugar Plum came back to
where Mrs. Santa. Claus was, he
found the dear old lady quite upset,
for the telephone wires had been
broken and Santa Claus could not hear
what was said.
Then what DO you think happened :?
Sugar Plum took hold of the wires
and the words came out of his mouth
like a stream Of water out of a hose
pipe.

band. and when the jolly old fellow
