midas Hoarded Gold.

For many years London has been
steadily drained Of her gold by India.
In ten years India has absorbed from
circulation 100000 gold sovereigns
and boarded them away. The coolie
has learned that silver rupees are a
poor investment, especially if he melts
them into anklets or nose ring for
his wife. as over 80 per cent of the
silver is lost in the melting pot. while
the gold sovereign preserves its value
whether he keeps it as coin Or melts
it. When a coolie collects Is rrl-
pees which he finds to be temporarily
surplus he buys a sovereign with it.
He has come to understand the wis
dom of boarding away only the gold
coin. which be knows he can always
realize on at it's original value

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-The United
States and Germany have reached an
agreement for a complete settlement
of the Lusitania controversy,
Official announcement to this effect
was made following a conference be-
tween Secretary of State Lansing and
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassadOr.
According to American officials the
settlement is based on a complete
compliance by Germany with all of
the demands of the United States as
set forth in the first American note of
May Is, and reiterated in the notes of
June 8 and July Fl.
A similar statement is made in
German circles, although it is de-
clared that by avoidance of the ex-
preston Illegal in describing the act
of the retaliation against Great Bri
tain which resulted in the sinking of
the Lusitania, Germany saved herself
from humiliation.
All that remains to be done is the
engrossment OF the agreement in the
shape of formal note from Berlin
foreign office bearing the signature Of
Count Won Jagow, the German foreign
minister.
Bernstorff Sends Text Home.
Immediately after the conference
Count Won Bernstorff sent a wireless
message to Berlin announcing the
agreement and suggesting that the
text of the agreement itself which he
forwarded by cable through the state
department and the United States en-
bassy in Berlin, be signed at once and
returned with instructions which will
enable an immediate publication of
the agreement.
These instructions the ambassador
expects to receive on or before next
Monday along with the formal note.
AT the same time the agreement is
published the state department, it is
declared, will make public a formal
acceptance of the agreement.
