World OF Finance

alarm. About $1,000 100000 of this
money will be appropriated to our AL
lies for expenditures here. Another
big sum will go to the Shipping board
for new ships. Both these items must
be regarded as assets, and the expen-
diture will stimulate industry at home.
Our own future OUTLAWS for the war
are estimated at about $40, 900, 100000
which sum, huge as it may seem, Is
easily within our ability to meet, be-
cause it is simply authorized and will
serve to carry the war well beyond
the fiscal year. The authorization of
these vast amounts does not mean
their immediate withdrawal. They
will be raised gradually, and must be
an exhibition to Germany of our fl
nancial determination to carry the
war to successful finish.
Peace prospects are Strengthening.
The crumbling of Austria as result
of the splendid Italian victories is inn

down their opponents on the Western
front; while Germany seems unable
to carry on any vigorous movement

Values Of Money
Valueless to All
Americans Abroad

Rome, Sept. 1.-The steady en-
ployment of Americans in Europe is
a problem difficult of solution simply
because they seem unable to appreci-
ate the value of European money"
said Sherman A. Boyce, of Portland,
Oregon, at present detailed as trav-
cling Inspector for the European.
branches of a large American express
and banking concern.
Before the war; he continued,
such firms employed almost exclusive
" Englishmen, though now they are
trying again to get Americans to come
over. The trouble is that an Ameri-
can cannot live abroad for, the same
salary that he gets at home, nor even
with an increase of a third more. At
home he appreciates the value of ten
cents, or a: dollar, but when he gets
abroad shilling, a franc, or even five
francs has no value to him. At home
he is perfectly satisfied to live in a
boarding house for six or eight dol
lars week, If he is single, but when
he gets to Paris or Milan, he thinks
he's got to pay ten francs a day, the
living, working equivalent of two doll
lars, or fourteen dollars week.
Firms can only afford to pay sew
enty or eighty dollars a month to be-
ginners in the European braiches,
which is much more than would be
paid an Enghshman OF native of the
country for the same work, but the
young Americans who come over
hardly get here before they begin to
complain about their salary, that they
are not making enough to live on,
The worst of it is, they are telling
the truth. I find myself that L spend
money very freely because / can't
realize that a franc or a lire has any
real value. This is a delusion that
has stranded many an American
abroad.
Many AMERICANS are coming over
here how partly for military, partly
Tor business reasons, and Europe is
simply going to be flooded with Am
orleans after the war. Many of these
will be here for business, and those
who stick and succeed will be those
who learn to think in francs instead
of dollars. The deception is one 81
big figures. We know that one hun
dred dollars is a small amount, that
It will go only so far, but when we
get it exchanged for five hundred
francs or so, we think it's enough
to last forever. But it's just the same
old hundred dollars after ALL
The field for America goods over
here is unlimited, fortunes are being
made now and more will be made af-
ter the war, but they will go to the
fellows who steer clear of this curl

 Among other battles which made Lloyd George stand out as a supreme advocate of the people was his struggle for the estnb- lshment of state insurance and old lge pen sions, modelled after the German systems. These great social benefits called forth much hostile criticism, and predictions that they would prove a failure The organization of the insurance scheme had barely been per fceted when the unusual conditions brought about by the European war caused partial break down of the system, and critics then again came to the fore with the assertion that 1t would never work satisfactorily. However, 1t stood as the chic! i,cm in the program of the Liberal Asquth ministry, and was distinctly Lloyd George cause.
 The force of Lloyd Georges personality Is particularly remarkable because he IS little man, not only short, but slim, with 8 small mustache and white face, though his eyes are as eloquent as his voice. His man. ner is cheerful, frank and democratic, and le is che of the most approachable men who ever held public office in England. Al
 hough little in favor among the aristocracy, it is said he is one of King Georges favor ties, liked by the sovereign more than any other minister.

REMARKABLE TUNNEL TAKEN
 BY THE FRENCH TROOPS

The taking of Chilly by the French early in October discovered one of the most re nlerkable underground works of the Ger mans on the Somme line.
 After the first French wave had cleared the German front, killing or capturing all Germans in sight, and as the second wave was advancing, from somewhere under ground large body of Germans came be tween with machine guns and grenades The French second wave bayonetted some of the Germans and the rest disappeared into a tunnel.
 The first wave got into Chilly and the other end of the tunnel began to disgorge German troops Their exit was brought to an end by French detachment. Those inside were summoned to surrender, but hey held out for eighteen hours. Then more than 400 men were captured.
 The tunnel is nearly 1000 yards in length, with an eighteen-inch railroad track run ming through it. At depth of twelve yards were sleeping quarters, munitions depots, an inhrmary fresh water wells, tons of equip ment, electric lights and ventilation pipes, The sides and roof were boarded up and

TUNGSTEN

High speed tool steel contains from to F per cent of tungsten, according to Its quality. If you put shrapnel round in lathe and start to work it down with tool of ordinary steel, you cannot exceed from eight to ten feet minute III your cutting speed, because the ordinary steel tool will f@l at high speeds But if you substitute a tool of high-speed tungsten steel the work can be run ninety feet per minute. The tool will get hot, showing dull red m day light, but it will stand up and cut; and, as machine shop output and costs are based on such speeds, the enormous demand for machine tools and war material made high speed steel almost priceless.
 Just when we needed tungsten most how ever, the supply from Germany was stopped and there was scurry through the West tc

PROVINCIAL NEW YORK

Remote places like Chicago and Phila- delphia still cling with pitiful provinclalism to the concept of a presidential election as a more or less national event, participated Tn by some i50O0,000 or 20,000,0O0 voters Poor nuts, they cannot live in New York.
 On Manhattan island only and alone Is eIimpsed the fundamental truth that presl- Cential election consists of nothing more or less than coming down to Harlem river One candidate comes down to Harlem river and the other goes up to Harlem river That is all there Is to it. Strange that otherWlse fairly intelligent persons fail to grasp so simple and concrete fact.
 Accordingly. when it trGnspred that Hughes had come down to Harlem river with some perfectly good hundreds of thou sands majority, New York knew that the election was over A mere matter of detail to send up bombs, flashes" and extras.
