VIENNA, July 25.-The long dread

The government order announcing
the step contained one saving clause,

The most absorbing gamble OF the
age is the future of silver metal after
the war. Unprejudiced experts look
far either one of two possible alterna-
twas. Either silver will be restored
m the monetary systems of Europe
after the war, and very high value
nlaced thereby on the metal for many
wears to come, or else, If silver be
not restored to expanded coinage in
Enrope. the bottom will drop COM
nletely out of the silver metal market,
and silver will drop to further depths
than ever In history Those who pro-
fass to know claim that there can be
no half measures for silver Either
the metal will be monetized and come
hack into its own, making fortunes
for silver miners and holders OF silver
mining securities, or else. If 1t be not
monetized, the metal will drop TO
under soc per ounce, to stay.
The one great outstanding argu-
ment for the probable RECOMMENDATION
of silver in Europe after the war, is
the scarcity of gold, and the pre-
s,med absolute necessity OF an ex-
handed monetary system to handle
restored business in Europe The
intarest on the war debt, payable In
gold, will alone make huge inroads

WATERS IN TAHOE
REACH THE LIMIT
LEVEL OF LAKE REACHES ELE
WALTON OF 622e.eo FEET
ON JULY IL

Project Manager f. G. Hough re-
turned Wednesday from Lake Tahoe,
where he spent several days on mat
tiers connected with the regulation of
the lake by the government. says the
Fallon Eagle.
On July IA the waters of the lake
reached the maximum elevation for
this season of 6229S0 feet above sea
level. which Is the exact height to
which the Reclamation service had
planned to carry the lake this year,
A remarkable thing about the stu
alton is that the outlet gates have
Asen practically closed for three
Months. The behavior of the lake
having been identical with that pre-
dicted by the project officers, II was
unnecessary to change the gates dur
ing that period in order to reach, but
not exceed, the objective elevation OF
622980. The water level stood at the
maximum stage until July 49, when
1t dropped to 6229.79, which repre-
sents decrease of one-eighth OF an
inch, due to evaporation. This seems
like an insignificant drop, but 1t rep
resents 1900 acre feet of water

SILVER THE MOST INTERESTING

On July 81, 1914, the debts of the six
principal bellfgerent powers we're

debt will be $72,O0O,0O0, 900. To pay

age around per cent, will tie up
about $3.50, 100000 of European gold
for yearly interest charges, Monetary

vital necessity of subsidiary silver
coinage to handle the every day
needs OF commercial currency-ei either
as real silver money. silver coins. or
else as silver reserve backing the

Gates.
On the other hand, if silver be not
remonified on a liberal scale, it is
likely that the demand for and value
of the metal will decline. The prin-
cipal use outside of coinage which
establishes its commercial value in
modern times, as in ancient times, is
that of ornament. Naturally one will
look for but little demand for silver

home two hats from Madame Roses
in New York she hadn't any use Tor

"Isn't that the most impossible hat

Maud had done so until she left home.
Now she scorned them and thought OF
nothing but tea and toasted mullins at

pleased with his sisters evidence of

"Rather punk" emphasized Maud.
"Blair, 1t is positively atroclOus. 1t

&c, absolutely. 1t is the embodiment

Blair was more attentive TO Maud's
little trade than she had expected.
"You ought to know, suppose"
agreed Blair. "Now, I'll tell YOU why
