Mexico and in France would seem TO
indicate that both authorities are appre-
hensive of secret hoarding-also of secret
agents for foreign Powers buying up the
boards at a price above the minted face
value.
But that does not explain the absorp-
ton of American dimes, and it would take
Il powerful lot Of proof to convince sane
people that the American public has taken
10 sailing away silver dimes in old stock
ing toes and unused teapots. Still the
cardinal fact "Reminiscences here and
smaller coins in France were absorbed as
if by magic What theme for a new
o. Henry-secret agents gathering up the
coins, melting coins into bars in some
secret cellar and then smuggling the bars
to an India or Germany!
Much stranger things have happened in
the present war and it may be that while
We are shifting along spy trails that are
two years old and dead cold, another
spider is weaving warp and "A wool
around TIE silver coin of the Allies against
the day of reckoning when indemnitics
must be paid.
Suggestion of Teuton Corner.
Consider for n moment; with the silver
production of The world down to 49,
100000 ounces plus; worth 81 an ounce
plus, il wouldn't be much of trick for n
country that has spent bride funds by
hundreds of millions TO absorb the silver
coinage of the world. The silver coinage
from the mints of all the world from 1850
TO 1915 does not total S5,000000, 900
and what are billions in this war!
II Germany could by hook or crook Sc
cret agent or plot absorb the $4,000, 000,-
900 of gold coined since 1885 and the less
than S. ZOO, 100000 of silver, she could
pretty nearly put the world on 4 paper
money basis, when indemnities would not
be SO hard to pay. They could be paid in
paper-"scraps of paper'-and the paper
could be exchanged for trade, and the
thick of absorbing the Allies coin eur
reney would be burglars jimmy to force
open the worlds doors Of future trade
with Germany. The idea is recommended
10 the novelists and dramatists who are
still following old spy trails.
But the absorption Of silver by India
was alarming and grave enough without
recourse to fiction. That story, too, will
some day be told, a story of fact, not
fiction, with secret international plotters
enough 10 put the widest novelist to
shame; plots that reached from assas-
sinations in Vancouver and San Fran
cisco TO Bombay and Calcutta. Five years
ago. year before the war, l investigated
and told something of almost 100000
of revolutionary funds sent from Van
eouver and San Francisco to India. That
was two years before the British secret
agent was shot down in the courtroom
of Vancouver. In fact, I may now
acknowledge it was the imperial secret
agent who gate me the facts, for which
he afterward paid with his life.

it was declared in the House Of Commons

Silver Becoming as Rare to See as Gold
Already Above Dollar Unabaed
Declining Owing ShotageWhe of

ried ont of the country to an extent ex-
ceeding 5000 for each traveller.
The story is told of thirty-seven United
States coinage presses this summer being
unable TO turn off silver dimes as fast as
the commercial demand for those dimes.
You may use rfIe silver 10 buy bullets, but
You can't use silver in bullets Why did
trade Suddenly need so many more dimesl
So fast was silver leaking away from
Mexico to Japan and China and India
that Mexico, too, clapped on an embargo.
1t was typical CarranZa embargo-those
who exported silver must reimport % per
cent. of the value of the silver in gold
within ten DAYS; heads | win, tails YOU
lose; CarranZa edict true to form, Which
ever way the metal market goes in war.
The greatest store of unused silver in
the world was $50 900, 900 ounces bought
in the '90s by the United States Treasury
at price described as "a song'-the song
being So TO IS cents II was 10 permit
the melting and exporting of this silver
That the Pittman act was possible in
April, 1918.
Since the outbreak of the great war
silver has gone up in price from 60 cents
10 81 plus. Why! Several reasons are
given. Here they are:
Owing 10 the war silver mining, Ike
all othoi innings of precious metals, is
declining. When YOU examine ii there is
very little fact beneath this explanation.
The silver production of the world for
1916 was 1T5,933,02i ounces. In 1915
and in 1914 it was more than 1S2 900, 900
ounces-which seems TO show there has
been a decline. But wait! From 1908
TO 1913 silver production went as low as
1S,000,000 ounces and never once ex-
ceeded l62 ,000,0 900 ounces, but the dimes
didn't disappear nor did the price jump
to $l0S.
Another explanation is that owing 10
the disappearance of gold as coin there
has been an increased demand for the use
of silver, bat in the old pre-war days how
often WAS gold really used as CONT About
as often rs $500 bills. We knew it was
there if we wanted it, but we didn't bother
using it.
Explanation Doesn't Explain.
Then an explanation is given of the
explanation. The nations having en-
bargoed gold for foreign trade, the in
creased demand comes for silver. but this
explanation likewise is so much bunk
True, gold is chiefly used for foreign trade
and the various Governments have for
hidden the expectation of gold, except
with special license, but the very same
Governments have also forbidden the ex-
portatiOn of silver except under special
license, so the real explanation of silver
almost doubling in price narrows down TO
two questions which no man can answer,
bluff he never so wisely:
Are people privately boarding silver
coin?
Or has the price doubled because of
open and secret buying of silver for the
countries of the Orient, chiefly Indiaf
No one can answer the first question,
