dollars are coined, an equivalent num-
Der of these reserve notes are to be
cancelled.
It would look as if Uncle Sam lost
money in melting up his dollars,
which have a coinage value of s129,
because less than a dollars worth OF
silver is put into a dollar But the be-
lief is that ultimately all dollars
melted would be replaced by others
made of Sian ounce metal, so all
would balance again.

MAY MELT OUR
DOLLARS TO PAY OUR
DEBTS TO CHINA

Washington, April 25.-Shades OF
William Jennings Bryan! Congress Is
about to discuss silver. Not free and
unlimited coinage at the holy ratio
of 16 to /, but the question of melting
down silver dollars and using the
bullion to pay some of Uncle Sans
debts.
The trade balances in India, China
and other parts of the Orient have
greatly risen against us since the
war. In other words, we owe them
more than they owe us. And pay day
is coming around. Uncle Sam doesn't
want to let go Of his gold, especially
when the Orient is used to silver,
likes it, and is perfectly willing to
accept It.
So Senator Pittman, from the sill
yer State of Nevada, has introduced
q bill aimed to fix things It provides
that of the 491,00O00O silver dollars
held in the Treasury, against which
silver certificates have been issued.
as much as 25O,O00,oOO may be re-
leased through the retirement of an
equal amount of certificates. This
quarter billion of silver dollars may
be then melted up into bullion and
sold at prices to be fixed by the Treas
ury
But the director OF the mint is to
buy in the market at 81 an ounce, as
much new silver as has been melted
up into bullion. The new silver also

Amsterdam, April 26.-For some

has been growing thinner and thinner
until at present the weight of tobacco
is little greater than of paper. The
pre-war cigarettes in Germany, when
sold by the ounce, ran about sixteen
to the ounce. Since the early part Of
this year the cigarette has faded"
until it takes more than 80 of them to
make an ounce.

JAPANESE MISCONSTRUE
AMERICAN MOTIVES
(By Associated Press.)

Toxic, April 26.-Some misgivings
as to the policy of the United States
as affecting Siberia recently have
found expression in the Japanese
House of Representatives. Conviction
| that Japan should pay close attention
to the activity Of the United States In
Russian territory was expressed by
Manitsu Tanaka in speech in the
House recently This activity, he
said might be designed to obtain
rights and interests of various kinds,
Tanaka said he believed that, IL Amer
lea attained its object hard blow
would be dealt to the interests Of the
Japanese Empire
He thought that American SYM
rathy for Russia was largely due to
her ambition to implant her influence
there by utilizing the present oppor-
tunity for investing her large capital
lin an extensive area Of Russian ter
ritory, to exploit Russia's vast nat
ural resources and to help forward
Russia's civilization. To speak
frankly. he believed that another OBJ
ject of the United States in showing
sympathy to Russia might be to check
the advance Of Japanese influence
The speaker also referred to ru-
NOR that the United States was trying
to purchase Kamahatka which he said
he believed America coveted for its
economic value and perhaps because
America had an idea of institating a
gigantic scheme of communication
between the three continents of Amer
lea, Asia and Europe.
There is no confirmation, however,
of the rumor referred to by Represen-
tative Tanaka.

$4,000 Worth of Bonds
Sold At Patriotic Meeting
In Park This Morning

Liberty Day was observed in a
most satisfactory manner in Lake.
land today-by fine talks, in the first
place, but followed by the better
thing of suitable and patriotic action
resulting in the sale Of $4,000 worth
Of Liberty bonds in few minutes at
the close Of the patriotic speaking.
At the signal given by the fire whis
tie at 1000 o'clock large crowd
gathered in the Park, and Mayor
Flanagan first introduced Col. Edwin
Spencer, who made an earnest and
thrilling talk. He was followed by
Hon. e. D, Lambright, former editor
OF the Tampa Tribune, and present
postmaster at Tampa, who made a
beautiful and impressive address,
bringing home to his auditors that
while they are here in peace and com
fort one of the greatest battles the
world has every known is in progress
lover there" and that boys from
Florida, from Polk county, are there,
and many more will soon be there.
Mr.. Lambright's address made a pro-
found impression.
Mrs. Marie Varney, a talented lady
who is visiting our city to deliver
some lectures under the auspices Of
the w. c. T. u, also made a stirring
talk, which touched the hearts Of her
auditors, as she referred to the fact
that she had given up both her hus-
band and son for service in the army.
Having given her all to the nation,
Mrs. Varney said she had no hesi-
fancy in asking others to do some
thing and she urged her hearers to
rail the pro-German lies that are ev-
erywhere rife, by buying a Liberty
Bond. That, she said, was the effec-
tive way to nail all these falsehoods.
At the conclusion of the speaking
the Liberty Loan Committee men,
bers passed through the audience tax
ing subscriptions, and Colonel Spen'
Ger announced them from the plat
form. The responses were ready and
generous as will be seen from the fol
lowing list of subscriptions received
today:
