j. S. SOLDIERS
GOING TO FRANCE
Do Not Need To Change Ameri-
can Money Into French
Currency
HOME SERVICE CHECKS

American soldiers going to France
do not need TO change their money
into French currency. All that is
necessary to be done in order to shop
as comfortably in France as at home
is to buy Service Checks. This story
tells what the Service Checks are.
Three lines of soldiers, each ex-
tending nearly quarter of a mile
converged at the entrance to Y. NJ
C. A. headquarters in Camp Dix one
night last week II was dry and sui
try. To relieve the strain. three ''Y'
men passed up and down the lines
with buckets of lemonade which they
parcelled out in big dippers.
What in the world is that gang
lining up for at this hour?" asked
rookie not far distant who was hav-
ing his first fling at sentry duty. II
was almost midnight
Inside the building was the ans
wer. The lines led up to three win
dows in a little iron cage, above
which was the sign:
Service Checks For Sale Here"
The rank and file of the American
army is beginning to understand the
operation of the Service Check plan
and to appreciate the greater secur-
ity of carrying overseas in the new
form, whereby it will be worth its
full face value on the other side
oh ~
his checks or be killed in action, the
amount outstanding will be turned
over to his relatives, for every trans
action is registered.
Officers now carry their funds in
the form of Service Checks, as well
as enlisted men. 1t is the only way
a man can bob in in France with a
number of francs on his person which
represents the exact equivalent in
purchasing power of the American
dollars he had before departure, un-
der the rates of exchange agreed
upon between the United States Gov
eminent and the Bank of France.
A Service Check is the same size
as an American dollar bill and print
ed on paper fully as strong, so as to
be durable if handled through many
exchanges. Millions of dollars worth
of them are now in circulation in
Europe, being used just like bank
notes here. In the upper left hand
corner of check is a dotted line on
which the purchaser must place his
signature as soon as he obtains the
check. 1t does not become negotia-
BILE paper until he signs it again in
the lower right hand corner, after
which it is money to anyone who re-
ceives it.
Some of the lads in khaki take sew
eral Service Checks with them, bound
together in little booklet or folder
to protect them from weather and
wear. The smallest sum they can
carry in the form of Service Checks
iii fifty francs, which costs $SS5. The
average amount taken is $50 francs,
equal to $26.55.
On the big night last week total
of $4,000 worth of checks was dis
posed of. During the week 100000
changed hands in this manner at Dix
and, tits estimated, total of half a
million dollars at all the camps
where Service Check banks have been
established.
1t is surprising to note the facility
with which most of the soldiers grasp
the transaction. Some of them never
stepped up before bank teller's
window in their lives After the sim

VOTES AND PRECIOUS TREASURES


The Prussian government is Crap
ping again with the franchise prob
lem. The Prussian parliament has
been trying TO frame a voting system
that would suit both the Junkers and
the working classes, of course without
satisfying either. The privileged
classes want to keep their monopoly
of government; the workers want
equal manhood suffrage with fair rep
resentation instead of the present sys-
tenn, which DISTINGUISHES most of the
industrial population.
Chancellor Won Hertling, reaction
airy though he is. has been demanding
radical reform. He gives a most in
teresting explanation. He is not so
hypocritical as to profess any jealous
concern for the progress of democracy
in Prussia.
My honest conviction" he tells the
Prussian house of lords, lis that with
this serious question the protection
and the preservation of the crown and
the dynasty are at stake. fully ap-
preciate the scruples regarding the
introduction of general equal suffrage;
but at the present time these scruples
must give way to greater tasks. name
ly, the protection of the most precious
treasures of our political life-the dy-
nasty and the crown"
There is truly diverting and in
structive pectacle--democratic suf-
frage being adopted to save an auto
cratic crown. Hertling. the Kaiser
and their crowd probably think they
can get away with it, too. But is it
conceivable that even Prussians, if
they once win full and free voice in
their own public affairs. will use it to
maintain those precious treasures"
the Hohenzollern family and the au-
thority it has abominally misused?

OUR 1919 WAR CONTRIBUTIONS

IL will pay every man and woman
TO follow with close attention the dis
cussion of the war revenue measure
now before Congress.
There seems to be general agree
ment that the measure, on the whole,
is well framed, based on sound prin-
ciples OF economics and dividing the
burdens about as fairly as may be ex-
.pected among the different classes of
citizens. Changes of detail will be
ably go through pretty much as it
stands now. The fact that this is the
greatest revenue measure in human
history should in itself fix public at
tention. 1t provides for the raising,
next year, of the stupendous sum of
$24, 900 .000. 900. That is half as much
wealth as the whole nation produces
i'm year. That is to say, as a nation
we shall be expected TO turn over. in
some form or other. half or all we
earn.
vi tiietA 1thOdiiN viii bC III
the form of Liberty Bonds and Thrift
Stamps. The other $S,000.0O,000 will
be raised by taxation; we shall have
to pay it all out of our pockets, in
cash.
Every citizen will do. well to study
the tax methods and the items that
particularly effect him. Every citizen
will do well, too, to figure out his
share of the taxes, income and other
wise, and his share of the new Liberty
Loans. Every one must contribute his
just part OF those twenty-four thous-
ands of millions of dollars. Every
citizen is personally responsible for
financing the war
Having got those facts clearly in
mind, we can come down to brass
tacks and figure out just how we're
going to provide our share of the
money. 1t will take considerable re-
arrangement of personal budgets, and
the sooner we begin the better.
