The entire $4,000 men composing
forces will be under training early in
October. Under orders issued Mon
day the first 80 per cent of the quota
of each district will begin entrainment
for cantonments September 5. the next
80 per cent September Is and another
80 per cent September 30. The re-
naming 10 per cent will be mobilized
as soon after that date as possible.
The new division to the number of
10000 men will be commanded by
General Mann.
The plan to assemble the new forces
in three increments distributes the
task of furnishing supplies and equip
ment through September. 1t also will
prevent serious shortages in any camp
land will give the new officers from
the training camps time to familiarizt
themselves gradually with their duties
before responsibility for a great body
of men falls on them.
The order issued Monday means
that about 10000 men will reach each
of the 16 cantonments soon after Sep
tember 5. They first will be examined
physically by army doctors and final
ly accepted or rejected.
Presumably the first increment will
have been organized into skeleton
companies, battalions or regiments be

comers can be absorbed quickly by g
going concern in that case, and the
third lot can be taken into the wal

SILVER AND GOLD.

The price Of silver has reached the
highest price in 40 years Lately il
has been selling around 81 cents an
ounce That makes The bullion in the
silver dollar worth about twice as
much as it was before the war.
It's hard to be strictly accurate,
however. in discussing the value OF
silver or any other commodity The
ordinary words mislead us When we
say that silver is worth twice as much
We mean that anybody who has silver
bullion TO sell can get about twice
as much gold for it, Is that because
the silver is more valuable, or because
the gold is less valuable? The latter
is nearer the truth
The value cf anything is its pur-
chasing power The purchasing power
of the gold dollar which is TO say.
the purchaing power of gold bullion
has been steadily diminishing in re-
cent years. and diminishing with APP
palling rapidity since the war began.
Silver has risen in price along with
other standard commodities the gold
dollar buys less and less Of any Of
them.
The silver quotations happen 10 be
of small importance, except to those
who produce or buy silver bullion
The rest of us are not much concern
ed with silver except as We use silver
coins as counters for gold. Gold
quotations are of enormous impor.
lance because they affect all financial
obligations. all credits and the money,
price of all property and goods. Yet
We are largely unconscious of these
gold quotations. because they appear
only in the form of comparative
tables of commodity prices
We're told that the general price
level of the necessaries of life was
so-and-so in 1900, and sO-andso last
month And we blame the other
things for the rise, instead of blaming
the chief culprit gold which by its
keeps on unsettling all
commercial values
Some day we may proceed TO
strighten out this difficulty, and
establish a general or absolute stan
iard based on single. and therefore
unsteady commodity Then Wn shall
buy and sell gold as we now buy and
sell silver or or iron or glass. Then
we shall not be troubled by constant
y rising prices. and when we have
ieht repaid we shall get back as much
much purchasing power
