ladies are nursing wounded men, making
bandages, collecting food supplies, succoring
distress-and shoulder to shoulder with them
are working their humber sisters. There is
no caste in mercy 1t is just another evidence
of the enormous levelling power of this great
war;"
The speaker expanded this point.
SO active and many-sded is the energy
of the British woman of to-day that any
woman who deliberately devotes herself to
pleasure is almost ostracsed socially. The
question that the women Of England are ask
ing to-day Isl What can dor When no OPP
portunity presents itself to them, they hustle
out and create an opportunity to be useful.
For example: During the last few weeks in
England women collected one million eggs
for the wounded soldiers. They didn't make

They took their automobiles or hired vehicles
and made house to house or farm to farm

And then because, being American, one is

is melted also because if weighed as received
all dirt or ether foreign substances adhering
to the coins would be paid for at S2o67 an
ounce, the price of gold the world over. This
dirt disappears in the melting and only the
molten gold goes into the forms.
AMERICA NOW THE CREDITOR
The process of conversion is simple. A bank
or banking firm in New York or San Francisco
receives consignment of foreign gold coin
by express from correspondent in Canada or
by steamer from correspondent in Europe or
the Orient 1t is deposited at the New York
Assay Office or at the San Francisco Mint and
melted, its weight and fneness are ascertained
and the superintendent of the mint or assay
Office gives the depositor check on the Treas
urer of the United States for the exact value
in dollars and cents of the pure gold contents
OF the resulting bar or bars. If payment in
American gold coin is preferred it is so made.
The amount paid for this deposit of foreign
coin goes into circulation and our media Of
exchange are added to just that much.
American bankers and representatives OF the
governments of Great Britain and France are
now endeavoring to arrange a gigantic credit
for the purpose of stabilizing foreign ex-
change. 1t would be in the form of loan,
payable in dollars, every one of which would
remain on deposit in our banks and all of which
would be paid back to US for our wares. No
financial PROPOSE of any period has caused
such an international STIR none has been more
praised or censured. The feeling abroad is
that exchange must be bolstered in New York.
This credit-principal and interest--would be
payable in dollars because in the matter OF
floating obligations Great Britain so long the
creditor nation OF the world, and whose
wharves at London and Liverpool have been
the marts OF merchantmen from every sea and
every port, has become debtor nation, and
because every other nation Of Importance in
Europe is in like sense debtor nation, and
the great creditor nation is the United States.
That is why when d merchant in Australia
buys $4,000 consignment of goods in Bos-
ton the draft for payment is now drawn in
dollars on New York. The credit is there.
Formerly it was in pounds sterling and drawn

Now the Dollar Exchange Is Reality
Explains Next Problem How to Re-
tain Our Financial Supremacy.

Yet in the first weeks of the war we sent
abroad SS5y00o000 in American gold coin and
bars, every dollar OF which has returned. New
York City borrowed S8O00O00O in gold and
paid Indebtedness to that amount due in Lon
don and Paris on January 1. 1915, and when
other foreign creditors showed signs of uneasi-
ness Our bankers formed Sl00,000,000 gold
pool to show that there was ample gold ready
to be exported if necessary.
DOLLAR EXCHANGE A REALITY.
Dollar exchange was but a rainbow few
months ago; to-day it is a reality which causes
the fnanciers Of more than one country appre-
hension and our own fnancicrs much thought
as to how it shall be made permanent. 1t is
the bag Of gold at the end Of the rainbow come
true; the good fairy will take it from us II we
do not earnestly conserve it.
The farmer-the producer OF cotton and
wool and grains and meats-has been the domi-
mating factor in securing for us the SI,oooooo,-
900 balance of trade, and he bids fair to play
leading part in clinching it, though the manu-
facturer. especially of munitions, doubtless will
overshadow him in the end If the great war
continues much longer or if an armed peace is
negotiated. RECORD productivity pei dSic, III

dollar in our banks to pay for our mill prod

ever increasing quantities.
Now, it is because dollar exchange is for the

coins come to US. They are sent here to pay
for products exported from our shores, but as
