NORTHUMBERLAND
ACT STOPPED PANIC
By Victor Elliott.


WASHINGTON, June 5.-On May
so, 1915, the provisions of the act of
May so, 1908, known as the Aldrich-
Vreeland act became imperative and,
as a consequence, the United States
government lost method of increas-
/ ing it's circulating legal tender. AL
| though the Northumberland act had
| been on the statute books for six years
| before it was invoked to relieve a
money Stringency, the good II accom-
| plished on the one occasion when 1t
was put into operation is declared to
| made up for its dOrmancy.
The story of the issue of Aldrich-
Vreeland emergency currency should
| be interesting to many. When the
European war broke out. American
| financiers expected European holders
Of American railroad and other Sc
curities to dump them on the market.
This expectation left the stock specu-
| latOrs in q state of panic which soon
was communicated to the New York
stock exchange. Prices declined until
the exchange had to be closed 10 save
many securities from practical obliter-
alton. This same panicky feeling was
communicated to the business men
throughout the country. Banks
evinced that ancient sign of severe
panic-the boarding of reserves. The
legal reserve being as low IS Is per
cent. Sec'y of the Treasury McAdoo
found some banks holding as much
as rs per cent reserve. This meant
the people were getting no money.
SO 10 relieve the money stringency
being felt more and more every day,
the treasury department pat out emer-
gency currency. The issue continued
until a total of 1882. 900, 5000 mad been
circulated.
This checked panicky tendencies
and business began to right itself.
Political credit for this coup, which.
] it is not unlikely. saved the country
from a severe panic, belongs TO both
the democratic and republican par
ties. The Aldrich-Vreeland bill which
provided the currency was a repub-
lican measure enacted by republicans,
while the democratic administration
put the law into effect last fall.
Many people believe that the issue
OF the Northumberland emergency
currency was the work of the new
federal reserve board, but treasury Of
ticials will tell any investigator that
the board had nothing whatever TO do
with the issue and that il was a treas
ury matter, unrelated TO the federal
reserve act. The emergency cur
rency issues provided by the federal
system are different
4 curious fact in connection with
the Aldrich- Vreeland emergency cur
rency was notwithstanding that bank
ers and others have believed that all
emergency currency had 10 be retired
by May 80, 1915, the date OF the ex-
piration OF the act. such is not the
case. Bankers have made sacrifices
TO retire emergency currency by May
80 while the law merely provided that
no more may be issued after May 80.
1915. saying nothing TO the effect that
no emergency currency may remain
out. Practically all Of the currency
was in on May so, however, although
there were many millions OF dollars

the bankers at favorable interest rates

BREACH BETWEEN HAGUE
AND HOLY SEE HEALED?
RumOr That M. NOIenS in Effort
to ConCiIiate Holland and
Vatican Matters.

THE HAGUE, June s. Strange
| things have been brought about In
Europe by the great world war, not
the least surprising Of which is the ru-
mOred healing of the breach between
| Holland and the vatican. MOnsignOr
/ NOlens, leader of the Catholics in the
| second chamber of the Netherlands,
has undertaken to so to Rome and all
sorts of reports are current about the
object of his mission. 1t is believed
| by interested Roman Catholics here
| that the journey TO Rome of Mon
| signor Nolens is in the interest of the
| resumption of diplomatic relations be-
tween The Hague and the Holy See.
The Catholic newspapers here have
stated fatty that DR.. NOlens is on his
way to the Eternal City to reeStab-
lish the relations said to be desired by
both the Dutch government and the
pope.
1t has been given out officially, how
| ever, that Monsignor NolenS went TO
Rome at the invitation of the Holy
Father to discuss with the pope the
possibilities of restoring peace in Eu-
rope, in which work the pope, it is
stated, plans TO make use of the Dutch
| diplomatic service as we'll as the &c
clesiaStical channels at his disposal
so as to make himself heard both in
a worldly and spiritual way.
1t was in November, 1871, that the
final breach between the vatican and
Holland occurred. Relations had been
strained for some time but at that
time the second chamber refused TO
appropriate the money necessary to
maintain an envoy at the vatican.
Thus the break became official, though
the vatican always has kept charge
daffaiTes at the Dutch capital, with
the exception of a few years after the
peace conference, when the pope was
refused admission.
Thus matters have stood for 40
years. In that time the Catholics OF
Holland have increased in numbers
and in power and influence.
That Negotiations now are going on
between the pope and Queen Wilhel-
mina'S government is absolutely true
and that DR.. Nolens is the interme-
diary is equally true. None Of the
neutralS Who want 10 see peace re-
stored in Europe can afford TO neglect
the pope's influence. The visit Sir
Henry Howard 10 the vatican indicates
that Great Britain long ago reached
the same conclusion
The pope is probably the only
wholly disinterested power on earth
who can see that justice be done and
wrongs righted
Far better than one OF the minor
neutral countries or a league of them,
far better even than the United States,
the pope can take the lead now, or
at more opportune time in the near
future 70 unite his spiritual force with
the temporal power OF those neutral
countries in order 10 put pressure on
the belligerents To make them desist
from bloodshed and come 10 reason
again-if they have any left.
Official statements on the situation
are not forthcOming The diplomats
are just as secretive as though their
works these days were just as dull and
il is reliably stated that this is the
mission OF Monsignor Nolens 10 Rome.

THE LAIR OF THE GERM.

All! what's the use in bing your
hair. swatting the fly. sleeping on a
roof. and lambasting the baby for
eating mud pies? These germologists
never agree on anything for five days,
anyhow!
Here comes the journal Oral Hy-
giene with an attack on one Of our
cherished institutions-th toothbrush
by DR.. Bernard Feldman, a distin-
guished dentist and germologist Of
New Jersey. a state where you swal-
low germs when you travel and fight
EN- nights when you don't sleep.
The toothbrush, says DR.. Feldman.
is full of germs and cannot DE cleared
of germs by any ordinary process. on
every bristle Of the toothbrush there
are 74,19S germs, which. in two weeks
or Whereabouts, will produce, by geo.
metrical progression. 79S. 600. OOO,Os4
more germs. These latter. in turn, as
the toothbrush ages. will produce a
progeny 10 the number of-well, we
just haven't type enough 10 show you
that number. Call it plenty enough to
scare the daylights out of you.
Moreover, according to DR.. Field
man, the toothbrush wears away your
teeth and hurts your gums and folks
should so back 10 the old japanese
method OF cleaning their teeth with
the forehnger. rather than risk the
common toothbrush.
It's time that these germologists got
settled in their convictions A good
many people. upon their advice. gave
up the corncOb and adopted the hog
hair toothbrush. and now it appears
that the latter is buggy Life is just
one blamed germ-fght after another,
anyhow, and the contradictions OF the
scientists are no help 10 humanity.
However, cleaning teeth with a fore
finger like a Jap. or with a big toe,
like a hen, won't appeal 10 many
Wen stick 10 the toothbrush until the
germ sharps get up some sort OF
buzzer that we can take 10 the wash

A GOOD Plan CONE WRONG.

New York manufacturers have

written by Louis d. Brandeis, which
five years ago established peace in the
great arment-making industry, is ter
minated. Under that arrangement.
until lately. the industry fourished as
never before, with mutual advantage
70 employers and employees. Working
conditions were immensely improved.
wages were raised, employment was
more regular. workers were more
conscientious and dependable. and the
whole industry ran more smoothly and
efficiently. Justice was done TO both
sides. There was suitable machinery
for representatives of employers and
employees getting together and talking
things over, and adjustment was
usually simple and easy. But finally
distrust arose between the two sets OF
men charged with the duty Of carry
ing on the plan, and bitterness grew
until it caused a break. 1t will be a
mournful omen for American industry
If so excellent a system is permitted
to lapse because individual representa-
tives Of the employees and the workers
can't get along together. and rational
cooperation gives way to the old
regime Of chaos and violence
