Herman Ridder, publisher of the
New York Stats Zeitung and treas

The first shipment OF gold into New
York to apply on foreign purchases,
consisting of $5,000,000 has been re-
ceived. Mr.. Morgan prefers to have
it come in small shipments so that it
]. will not unduly strain the financial
] system of the country. Too much
wealth all at once might make us
toplofty.
William j. Bryan rejoices that he
did not live 200 years ago, because If
he had he would be dead. He says
that they killed men 200 years ago

| Perhaps the United States is wise
ln declining to express an opinion of
the Chi-.~5e situation. China does
not appr -ciate an opinion. 1t is dis

in.imatlon is correct, the statement
made Il tue parliament that only
$4,000 had been landed was mislead-
ing. Possibly the allies are making

h While it may be true that large
Russian expedition is now traversing
tue Black sea, bound for the coast of
Bulgaria, there is not much conf
dence in their ability to land and
attack the Bulgarians in the rear.
The Russians have played too many
losing gaMes with their German dir

Should it reach the Bulgarian coast
with u large aggressive force, Bull
earla will begin to squirm.
