AMERICA PAYING PIPER.
Director Of Mint Shows America Is Be-
coming PrcdiqaI Of It's War Profits.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Direetor OF the
Mint Won Englekan said yesterday that
the high cost of living in this country
is creature Of our own making. He
said that the golden stream coming
from Europe to this country makes the
people spend literally, II not waste
fully
With more gold in its vaults, more
money circulated, and the greatest ex-
port trade in history, the United States
today is at once reaping golden har-
vest and-to mix the metaphor-pay-
ing the piper: the piper being the high
cost Of living, Won Engleken says.
His explanation is: Export trade
brings an unprecedented quantity Of
gold here. There is such vast de-
mand for goods that prices rise re-
sponsiveIy. More workers than hereto
fore are employed, and they are get
ting larger wages. And, while these
workers supply the goods, their wages,
drawn from the immense store OF gold.
buy more goods than before, thus help
ing swell the abnormal demand and the
consequent price increases.
Wages. he admits. have not fully
kept pace with prices-as usual, but
he hopes for an altered condition in
the future.
The United States 10 normally Z
borrowing nation. Capital utilized for
construction in the past has been re-
cruited largely abroad. Our economic
affairs consequently have been ad-
iusted to meet the customary outflow
Of money required to pay our interest
bills in foreign countries.
THE sudden reversal of this condi-
ton. the retention Of interest payments
at home. coupled with a reversal of the
usual trade conditions, presents an I'M
usual economic problem.
'It is to be hoped we will not become
so accustomed to the present ability to
supply our various personal demands
that he will and it difficult to read
just ourselves to the more normal state
of affairs that will confront US, we
hope. in the very near future"

ANTi-WlISoN DEMONSTRATION
IN FRONT OF AUDITORIUM
CAUSES RIOT.
ATTACKED WITH UMBRELLAS;
BANNERS TORN TO sHREDs
Silent Demo nstration" by 100 Support.
ers Of Hughes Starts Trouble Within
View Of President Wilson - Many
Knocked Down and TrampIed-Po-
lice Guard Helpless.

Chicago, Oct 20.-In full sight of
President Wilson and his party
silent demonstration" composed OF
100 members of the National Woman's
party. bearing anti Wilson banners,
was bowled over, trampled, tumultu-
ously ripped to shreds yesterday by a
mob.
The National Woman's Suffrage
party. favoring Hughes because of his
stand for national suffrage amend
ment, had decided to borrow a bit from
the tactics of the democratic women
who had heckled the Hughes women's
slecial on it's coast to coast trip. They
had planned to greet President Wilson
with banners asking pertinent ques-
tons on his suffrage position. 1t was
tired on yesterday when the president
rrotored up to the Auditorium thesiter
to speak. with the riot as result.
Police Guard Helpless.
The police were useless. As the pres
ident's car flashed into sight the
angry word shame" leaped from lip
to lip. There was swift surge out
ward. and the thin line of women
sashed in the colors of the party rurnp-
led up like a rank of paper dolls.
Michigan avenue in front of the Con-
greSs hotel rang with screams and
oaths. The insulting" banners bob
bed for sudden. agitated moment
above the crowd like a fishing fleet hit
by squall. and then sank.
Many Women Trampled.
They nevar roSa ,ITrnhrnlfac rapec
hands, and feet ripped them to bits
and snapped their STATS. So violent
was the attack on the handful of
women that many were knocked down
and trampled. Those who attempted
to defend their banners were beaten on
the knuckles until their grip relaxed.
Hats were torn off. Hair fell in cas-
cades. Hairpins jumped like Mexican
beans on the pavement. Walls rose.
tears fell, waists parted. stays crack
ed, and women were wild in Michigan
avenue.
And President Wilson's automobile,
which halted a petulant tut, tut or so
before the spectacle. rolled aloofiy by
and its chief occupant put on his smile
and entered the Auditorium theater to
speak.
Some Of the Cries.
Cries OF ''Dishwasher." where's
your baby?" Down with suffracats,'
and Back to the kitchen." were still
ringing the boulevard welkin when the
president serenely put forth his open
ing words Ito the women assembled in
the theatert y
Although, men predominated in the
assault on the silent demonstration"
many women also darted into the melee
and registered a few spiteful kicks
on their S0rely outnumbered sisters.
From $4,000 to 10000 persons packed in
Michigan boulevard and Congress
street witnessed the humiliation of
Wilson's women opponents.
