Declaration of Senator stone on After

Washington. Jan G-America will be
safer from attack from abroad at the
close Of the war in Europe than at any

AMERICAN DOLLAR IS
HIGH IN VIENNA
II Sells at 7.18 Crowns Instead Of 4.as
as Heretofore.

Vienna. Jan. 25.-Formerly the Ameri-
can dollar was worth here 4.o crowns:
to-day 1t sells at 1.l6, Even the money
of Austria-lIungary's allied states Is
much above par. Normally 100 crowns
cost SO marks. while to-day one may buy
them at about 20. The Bulgarian Ira,
which in times OF peace was cheaper
than the Austro- Hungarian crown,
stands at an average of 100 to 104 and
the Turkish pound is worth about 81
crowns where formerly it was only 81.
This depreciation OF the crown. in some
cases nearly 20 per cent. would he a
serious matter for Austria Hungary were
the causes of an economic nature related
to peace, instead of wartime conditions
The Austro- Hungarian crown is low for
the reason that the paper currency of
the country, based principally on the ma
tional gold reserve is being deprived Of
its base by the many purchases the cOun-
try has made in foreign markets for
which the actual metal gold had to be
exchanged With her allies. Austria
Hungary still trades on the normal basis
OF credit resting on an exchange of
merchandise. but in buying from ncu-
trails and through neutrals from the
enemy even, nothing but the actual
transfer Of gold sufrices So far Aus
tria- Hungary has been obliged to de-
pletc her national gold stock and reserve
to exactly what the average of deprecia-
ton OF the crown indicates, roughly
speaking, 90 per cent.
The case is analogous to that Of Great
Britain in her trade relations with the
United States. After having realized
as much credit as possible by a transfer
to American holders of much CONNER
cial paper owned in Great Britain. the
value OF the pound sterling is being kept
up by shipping specie to New York.
Austria Hungary has been doing the
same thing, though not with the same
success because her gold reserve was
never nearly as great as that of Great
Britain.

address was regarded as particularly
significant. lie remarked himself that

on the ground that 1t behooves the Uni

point for which tho United states has so
long contended.
IN many particulars the suggested form
of agreement designed to conclude tho
controversy which was submitted through
the ambassador, Is acceptable. It was
stated by excellent authority, however
that the United States insists upon hold
ing the German government 70 "strict
accountability" for the loss of more than
one hundred American lives and desires
that the Berlin government admit in
effect that II Is liable according TO law
for the lives Of neutrals lost In the COM
mission OF an net against a vessel of the
enemy.
From the sources usually we'll informed
came the statement that Germany, In
the proposal, had considered friendship
for the United States to a greater extent
than law in making such concessions as
have been made. The administration was
represented as taking the position that
law also should be brought into con-
sideration
Germany from the beginning OF It's sub
marine operations in thu North sea, has
refused to accede to the American view
point that law makes her liable for the
lives of neutrals lost as were those
aboard the I.usitania.
