New York June Is as a member of
one of the lumber units which went to
Old England as a gift from New England
as the Boston papers said. He writes
from Ardgay, Scotland, under date of
of July II. lie says in part: :" We have
arrived safe and we'll. Had n nice trip
and thoroughly enjoyed it. The crew is
all well. We have been well fed and
used fine. We are located well up i'll the
northern part of Scotland, only a short
distance from Carnegie's famous castle
Skybo, on whose place some of the mill
hands are going to operate.
! This is 4 great country. The noun
| tains are barren of any growth except
! heather. On the low lands the lumber
grows and there are some fine forests,
nearly all Norway pine The weather is
cold, and we are compelled to wear our
heaviest clothing. One of our funniest
experiences is seeing the farmers work
ing in their fields at 10 p. m, and the
sun still shining. At this time of year
there are only four or five hours of dark
ness, and even then not so dark but on1
can plainly distinguish objects for long
distances. Going to bed at 8 with the
sun still two hours high creates queer
feeling. The people are very kind and
hospitahle. Stock raising is their prin
cipal occupation.

POTATOES AS GOOD AS COIN.
Government Loan Plan Will End Pow
er of Profiteers.

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-The use
of potatoes as legal tender is not a
great distance from realization. One
may at least obtain freely negoti-
able paper by hauling potatoes to the
warehouse and on receipt thereof OBJ
tain a loan.
Such loans by an arrangement an.
nounced today will be rediscounted at
the federal reserve banks and become
negotiable paper throughout the
country at the federal reserve rate
Potatoes in the future will be classed
as on-perishable staple.
The arrangement was made at tn,
instance of the food administration
mainly to stimulate proper storage O.
potatoes by growers and others. TIL,
purpose also was to enable growers an,
local dealers to finance their potatoe
so as to be freed in a large measur
from dependence upon spectators an,
profteers in control of the potat
market.

100000 Tons in Year, Says London
Observer, Will Be Needed.

LONDON, July 30-The Observer in
an article arguing that the western allies,
even without Russia, are more powerful
THAN the central powers says:
/ The real crux of the whole war is t.

We refuse for a single moment to believe
that the United States will fail to rise t.
the crisis. The cause needs every single
ton of maritime carrying power that the
United States can muster now or launch
later.
NO possible shiphuilding effort of this
country alone can provide the huge ad
ditional tonnage demanded by coming
American requirements. To get fairly aheat
