I LARGEST CHECK
IN THE WORLD
Rio Business In The y. 5.
Treasury Department

The largest check ever issued IN
the world has been returned TO
the United States Treasury, PAID
and cancelled. The cneck for two
hundred million dollars was sign
ed by Secretary of the Treasury
William G.. McAdoo, and repre-
sented the first payment IN the
loan of the United States to Great
Britain.
Other large checks which have
been signed by Secretary McAdoo
within the last six months are one
for $1,000, 100000 to France and
one for S1O0,O00,0O0 to Italy.
Numerous other smaller checks
ranging from S1,000,0O0 to S75,
100000 have been signed as loans
to our allies.
Previous to January, 1917, the
largest check that had ever been
signed by a Secretary Of the
Treasury Of the United States was
one for S40,000,000 in payment for
the rights of the French Panama
Canal Company, for the privilege
of constructing the Panama Canal.
The next largest check was for
S25,O00,000 in payment for the
Danish West Indies.
When the treaty ceding the is
lands of the United States was
signed it contained clause call
ing for payment of the entire
amount in gold When it came
time for the Danish minister to
collect for the islands, the Treas
ury was ready to make the pay
ment in gold, but the perplexed
minister found that there were
hardly enough wagons in Wash
ington to haul S25, 100000 in gold,
and finally, after much cabling be-
tween officials, he consented to
take a draft for the amount, to be
placed at the credit of his gov
ernment.

OUR DUTY TO THE TEACHERS

Of course Newark is interested
n her schools. Certainly moth
lng concerns more people. Sure
" nothing is more important than
the presence of good teachers,
The Newark Board of Education
at the close of the school year,
Jast June, was confronted with the
necessity of finding new princl-
pal and five assistant teachers. A
difficult proposition it was, to Sc
cure all we wanted for the salar-
es which it was within the power
Of the Board to offer them. But
good fortune attended their efforts
and they have succeeded in bring
ing to the community a corps Of
splendid teachers.
Now, however, the Board face a
new difficulty. Where shall these
teachers find homes? Boarding
houses are already overcrowded; !;
MOTEL prices are prohibitive for a
school teachers pocketbook. Room
three dollars, table board six dol
lars, has been the best the
strangers have been able to find
after a three days search.
4 relation of the facts, we be-
lieve, will solve the problem. Shall
not the hospitality of Newark pro-
vide for these young women pleas
ant and congenial homes?

boy, reared on the farm, who is
leaving the plow answering Ma
tion's Call, is the son Of father
who fought and made possible the
conditions under which we live.
He, that boy, if fortuned to return,
is one that we will proudly fete in

He is hero in the making. Aye,
he is hero, though yet he has not
the spirit and dash that will be
his later on.

A LESSON FOR US ALL
To A Mother of A Soldier:

Your letter in the Peoples
Column of last weeks issue of
The Post is deserving of editorial
acknowledgment. The writer of
this column can but feebly ap-
preciate your feelings just at this
time. But any expression from the
Mother of Soldier should have
always our deepest consideration.
That you wrote convincingly we'll
is attested by the increased in
terest being expressed throughout
the town. Your remarks on the
College hospitality were, to our
mind, we'll taken. Recruits, to get
the cadence of marching should
have a drill ground. A rough field
does not suffice at first. Person
ally. we should like to have seen
the men tented on the Campus it
self. The College Green would be
honored indeed with such history.
Further we should like to remem-
Der the scene of the Soldiers of
1917 dining in the Commons. The
tradition, and history of the Old
Dorms would have been honored,
nor would the elegance of the New
nave been marred. Rest assured we
could have been, that those men
would have appreciated the cam
pliment and conducted themselves
in keeping with the surroundings.
As YOU remarked, Dover Academy
has one bit of patriotism in it's
history that is lost to Delaware.
This is said in no spirit of carping
criticism. We lost an opportunity
that's all. We didn't think.
For the insulting remarks made
on the streets-NeWark must not
bear the blame. Those who
make fun of the awkward soldier
are neither good citizens nor typ
zeal Americans. They deserve OF
course severe censure but certain
" they are not representative.
The baseball fund. This was
certainly we'll intentioned. The
desire was to do something that
would be appreciated. While we
were not wildly enthusiastic, we
did not criticise. 1t was an honest
expression of interest. Those who
wanted to give only to Company
E. That was laughable. Strange
too, but they simply forgot their
manners.
But your letter did much good.
You aroused attention and caused
Us to think, which is the secret of
doing things well.
The library is open to the SOL
diers, entertainments, our homes
are open. If in Newark, another
Sunday. we should like to see an
open air sermon with soldiers
specially invited as guests.
Praise, expressions OF hurt
pride, condemnation, recognition
of the justice of your criticism,
mas resulted, and we have benefit
ted. all.
Your letter was stern rebuke
but we better sense our duty-and
humbly thank you.
