War Finance Grille
Field for Research

The task of ascertaning the precise
cost of the war will offer fruitful
subject for scholarly research for many
years after the war is over The ma
terial will become more readily avail
able after the strife is past, and pa
tient scholars will be able to digest
complete statement. Until then sur
veys based on the facts which finance
ministers desire to give the world will
have to hold the field.

Though Russia is no longer a bellie
erent and her financial condition NAV
have no relation to the winning of the
war, several leading items in her fiscal
record are of Importance, particularly
IN view of the recognized need of re-
habilitating Russia The present yalue
of the ruble is so greatly deprecated
that it would be misleading to express
the Russian debt in American MONEY!
The ruble intrinsically is worth 51.5
cents. Russia's total expenditures in
the three and one-half years she was
in the war reached 51,45O,7 200, 900 rubles
(about SIS, 725, 100000 in normal times).
and her total debt when she withdrew
from the war exceeded 49,287, 800 ,698
rubles (about S24,643, 9O4,s4e). against
9,S8S,3o9,69S rubles (about s4,944,154,
849) in 1914. The United States adj
vanced 1926, 100000 to Russia.
The United States place among the
belllgerents is unique. The compare
lively short time she has been in the
war, the large proportion which adj
vances to Allies make of the total
moneys raised since April 6, 1917, and
the tremendous wealth of the nation
distinguish the United States from all
the other leading belligerents.
Since entering the great war the
United States raised s15,915, 1888 900 in
excess of the normal government in

TAJIRI GRADUATE OF YALE
New Mayor Of Tokyo, Japan, Finished
His Education in Great Ameri-
al University.

Viscount Inajiro Tajiri, newly elect
ed mayor of the city of Tokyo, Japan,
is a graduate of the class Of 10 Of
Yale university, where he specialized
In economics. finance, politics and his
tory, says Christian Science Monitor.
Returning to Japan, he was appointed
a secretary in the department of
finance and also to q chair In the inn
perial university at Tokyo. Suisse
quently he was director of the bureau
of the national debt, banks and reve-
nue..
In the course of time he was admit
ted to the house of peers, and was vice
minister of finance, first in 1892-1897,
and again In 1S9S-19O4. He was made
a baron in 1895 and a viscount in 1907.
More recently he has been chief Of
the board of audit. To knowledge of
the technique of banking, national
finance and international credit the
~viscount adds interest in and mastery
of natural science, and In both fields
he is an authority.
His selection as mayor comes after
a long and futile effort of the munich
pal assembly to agree upon a candi-
date chosen from the ranks of poll
ticians or ordinary civilians.

FLU" ORDINANCE
WILL Be ENFORCED

Exactly as other places have suf-
fered where protective measures
against influenza have been relaxed,
sc Goldfield is suffering now as a
result of carelessness in the past
few days. There are eight cases
here now.
This morning the board of coun-
ty commissioners and DR.. j. l.. Nc
Carthy met to consult regarding the
situation and the result is that the
schools will not be permitted to
reopen until at the earliest the
commencement of the new year
term. 1t was also decided to again
enforce the Woodworking ordinance
strictly and the officers promised
to enforce the ordinance rigidly
and arrest all persons found with
put masks. DIR. Mccarthy also
pointed to the fact that lodge meet
ings have been held, which is
against present health regulations.
The commissioners and peace Of
ficers are evidently determined to
go the limit with persons found
without masks and from the tone
of the meeting this morning arrests
u,fn erroIy hA nno1n tf thu ord
nance is not obeyed to the letter.
1t was decided that the masks must
not only be worn, but must be
worn properly and the commits
sioners migt have added to this
that it would be well for some peo-
pie to wash their masks at least
occasionally and replace them with
new ones when they become so
ragged that they are nothing short
of a disgrace.
Enforcement of the ordinance
will start tomorrow morning and
it has been placed up to the peace
officers to see that the law is obey
ed. If arrests are made there is
no doubt but hat public opinion
will be solidly behind the officers
in the step and there is also no
doubt that if the ordinance is not
strictly enforced public opinion will
be solidly against the officers.
After a period is which there
were no new cases reported, it is
evident that influenza has gained
a second hold on the town and it
is also evident that the malady will
reach the epidemic stage this time
if quick and drastic steps are not
taken to prevent it from spreading.

PERMANENT WAGE
FOR RAILROAD
MEN URGED

NEW YORK, Dec. 7. = The es-
tablishment of permanent wage
rates for 100000 railway work
ers in the United States to continue
after the cost of living has decreas-
ed is the aim of the United States
railroad administration, according
to W. 8. Carter, director of the
division of labor, who spoke on
''The Effect of Federal Control of
Railway Labor" before the academy
Of political science.
Carter mentioned the fact that
under the existing act the lines
will revert to private control with
in FL months after the declaration
of peace and expressed the hope
that the rights and aspirations of
labor in the operation of the rail-
roads will receive due considera-
ton If congress decides to enact
additional legislation affecting
them."

CASSED MEN LIKE CHEWING GUM

man in four wards, also a box of
matches. Then the three girls
vent into the gas ward, where
boys are not allowed tobacco in
any form until the gas is entirely
out of their systems. Each of
these boys was given chewing gum,
and some of them were so glad to
get it that they actually cried.
Others were not so far down with
the ravages of the attack and sang
out glad "hurrahs," but there
wasn't a man in that ward whose
day was not made easier by that
package of gum.
The grapes were taken into the
medical ward, where four patients
with parched throats were relieved
by the cooling fruit. The jam was
given to various nurses, for there
was none too much Of it and NOT
nearly enough for all the boys.
The nurses take these little ex-
tras and hide them under lock and
key in their medicine chests. And
now and then it is given to bed
ridden patients whose %appetites, as
we'll as their tired bodies, need
nursing.

"Our country is looking to the

This is not the time for short

money to organize for their com
mercial security.
"a wisely liberal preparation
now will mean millions of income
some day to this country, will
mean industrial prosperity for our

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. H.
Expansion of the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce to enable
it to give effective aid to American
manufacturers and merchants in
taking full advantage of after-the-
war world trade opportunities is
the chief recommendation of Secre-
tary Redfield in his annual report
made public today.
The secretary also reiterates his
approval of the proposed develop
ment of a northumberland intra-
coastal waterway to link up the
great cities of the east, from the
lakes to the coast and down the At
lantic seaboard.
Dealing with postwar trade and
the part the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce can play, the
report emphasizes especially the
need for additional commercial at
taches and trade commissioners.
The balance of trade in favor OF
the United States for the fiscal
year 1918 was 1889, 226,23S; the
total of the merchandise export
trade was s5,s2S,2S5,641 and of
the import trade $2,946,059,408.
Measured by the economic
needs of the country and by the
grave responsibilities of postwar
competition" the report says, "the
bureau should be expanded sub
stantially in every branch of serv-
ice.

company that is strongly financed
has taken over the Northern Belle,
Mt. Diablo, Lucky Hill and Black
Metallic groups. which are credited
with the production of fabulous
sums. 1t is the plan of the pur-
chasers to run a power line into the
camp and mill the ore ON the

AUTO IS TAKEN
FROM GARAGE
FORD CAR OWNED BY DOWNER
BROTHERS is
STOLEN

a Ford automobile owned by Dow
ner brothers was stolen las night
from the garage in the rear of their
assay office on Broadway.
Tracks leading from the garage
indicate that the car, in which wires
had been disconnected so as to make
il more difficult for a thief to start,
was backed down the Broadway hill
and into the alley between Broad
way and Fifth avenue, where the
tracks were lost. Downer brothers
state that the car contained but a
small quantity of gasoline.
The car Is believed to have been
stolen between 10 o'clock and mid
night.
