In foreign markets, Notwithstanding tho

Al the beginning OF the war an Amer

In other words, during tho present year

The PopoIo Romano In a recent dis
cuss!on Of the situation stated tina the
general reason for the depreciation Of the
lire was the excess ~ purchases made
abroad over goods sold abroad, an ex-
cess which II estimates for the year 1916
AZ $333, 600. 900. This excess Is due to
war supplies bought abroad. to the de-
struction of the tourist trade OF peace
times and TO the necessity Of keeping at
home articles of food or clothing for
merly exported.
In practice this excess means that n
an italian merchant import. a quantity
or American shoes at 81 each he must
pay an exchange rate that makes zach

Romano states that unless some solution
Is found to the problem the country win

then be In any better position to Increase
the exchange value Of It's money than
now.
II predicts that all the available mon
eys and bonds will be drained out of

urges an arbitrary fixing among the Al
lies or an exchange standard until after

diately after the war. the increase Of

FARMER BURNED
IN WAGON PYRE

Mandan, Nov. John Razicka,
farmer, forty-fve, was the victim OF
one of the strangest cases ever invest
igated by the coroner's Office.
Attorney J. F. Sullivan and j. II.
McGillic we're returning to the city
from Leith in the formers car when
they noticed what they thought was a
straw stack on fire. ... =.
They found Ruzicka dead, his body
lying on wagon load Of burning coal.
The whiffletree was burned, but the
traces held the horses to the strange
carriage of death. The two men cut
the animals loose and they galloped
away over the prairie.
Ruzicka's body was pulled from the
bed of fire, but he was far beyond
mortal aid.
In the opinion Of the coroner's jury,
Ruzicka was suddenly stricken with
heart failure. His pipe, remains of
which were found in the charred wag-
on box, is presumed to have fallen
from his mouth into a bundle Of hay
and straw in the front end Of the
wagon box, firing it, and this blaze in
turn set the coal on fire.
The body was in horrible condition.

neat sum of 81, 700. In addition to the
flax hauled they had reserved about
