ably represents in manner that puts to shame those members of the organ ization who do not work as they should for it's advancement
 The points which will be stressed in the fight for new members by the com mittee are the social advantages that accrue to the members of the order: that fraternal spirit that is engendered the spirit of fellowship that pervades the der and the insurance benefits.

missions made to Spain when drafting the treaty was inspired by the desire to make the terms as easy as possible to Spain and to console her for the loss of her great eastern possessions.
 When the time came for making pay ment the government at Washington was ready to draw gold to the amount of $2000o,000 from the treasury and, if nec- essary, to ship it to Paris, where it was to be placed to the credit of Spain. James Stillman, however, at that time president of the National City banlS.<in association with several International bankers undertook to provide the means whereby this large sum could be paid oyer to Spain in Paris without shipping dollar of the coin. The arrangements were speedily and with much prudent caution made with the government. The treasury department was ready to de- liver the gold in New York. The bankers procured foreign exchange. some of it on London and some of it on Paris, equal in amount to this s20, 900 in gold. The exchange was shipped to Paris. The gold remained in New York and undoubtedly the exchange was liquidated by means of trade transactions. Nobody but the government and the bankers knew until payment had thus been made how 1t was all done.
 Our Payment to France
 In the first administra ton of Theodore Roosevelt as President, the time came for making payment of $40.000000 to France in return for which we were to receive all her rights and titles in the Panama canal plant. It became neces- sary to ship some $25, 900 in gold to Paris as part payment. The government was prepared to ship this gold, but the international bankers under the leader ship of J. P. Morgan & Go. perfected a plan by means of which the gold could be kept in the United States and exchange sent across the sea aggregating $25. .000.- 00o There were a good many details to work out before the plan was perfected While this work was in progress no one

A Gold Import of s1O0,O ,OOO, 900

A uOlu lulpUIt Ol pAVV,VVV,VVV
 The import of $l0O, 900 in gold in Me- Kinley's first administration was not a single transaction. It extended over some two months There was no secrecy about It. The gold came in payment for very large imports from the United States, but 1t came in todd lots," so to speak, sometimes $1,000,O0 a day, sometimes $3.- 100000 or A000,000. It was all stored in the vaults of the celaring house. and these vaults were so greatly clogged by this gold that 1t was necessary to fit up temporary shelves in the aisles.
 Tn the financial district the secrecy and the swiftness which characterized this latest and greatest movement of gold across the Atlantic in large amounts are spoken of with admiration.
 Not the slightest hint had come from London that steamer whose cargo was $34 00, 900 in gold had sailed for Halifax or for any other port. Not until the steamer reached Halifax did the fact be- come known. It was. of course, impos- sible to perfect arrangements for shipping the gold from Halifax to New York by rail without attracting attention. Some years ago a special train left the Pacific coast for New York whose only freight was several millions in gold. It was amply defended, and in the very fact of the defense there was awakened curiosity respecting the shipment
 The gold was brought across the conti- nent in such manner as to make 1t easy for the express company to initiate, last week the example then set. In that way the $34.OOO.0O0 in gold was brought from Halifax to New York, and with as much care as would have been the case had the cargo consisted of high explosives. Of course, there were many surmises re- specting the purpose which lay behind this shipment from London, and yet this purpose was apparent.
 In some way the money Is to be used in huuidation of some of the obligations Great Britain has established on account of heavy purchases in the United States. The shipment of gold justified a predic- tion made some weeks ago by Max May one of the worlds leading experts in for efgn exchange, who said that he did not see how the exchange market could be protected unless the nations which have been buying heavily in the United States began to ship gold to this country. The surmise Is general that this is mot to b' an isolated shipment, but that 1t will bs followed by others, and 1t is one of the paradoxes which the European war has caused that the one nation Tn the world which has no need of gold--since it pos sesses the worlds greatest supply O1 available gold-is also the one nation tc which gsld is irresistably attracted.

excepting the bankers and the govern ment was informed of the plan. At last, 1t was perfected and the transaction did not effect the money market in any way. Not until some weeks had passed was the information given to the public that we had paid France $25.0o0,oo0 and had kept the gold at home.
