partisans of the German cause, is said

Jaime, despite the statements to the
contrary by the so-called Carlist pa
pers that are Germanophile.
In letter to Senior Melgar, Don
Jaime says: you know that the kind
of friendship shown me in Berlin on
the occasion of my last trip there
consisted in having me arrested and
in behaving with incredible rudeness
toward me-"

ALL WORLDS MONEY
COULDN'T PAY WAR
COST. SAYS EXPERT

"
james Phelan, an accountant from
Columbus, Ohio, sat in the New Will
lard lobby at Washington and tossed
off few figures showing just what
Secretary McAdoo's war cost estimate
of $21, 100000, 900 actually means when
it comes to counting.
''In the first place, such a thing as
$21, 900, 100000 in real money doesn't
exist" he said. "It's mostly in cred
its and certificates. If everyone of
the paying tellers in Washingtons
fifty banks started to count out this
money at the rate of $40 a second,
and all worked day and night without
an interruption, it would take them
two years and four months to COM
plete the job.
IF the government printed $1,000
600 day in dollar bills, it would re-
Quire nearly sixty years to print the
full $4,000, 100000 issue"
