DEMAND NEW COINS
Scores of Letters to Congress Urge 2
2k and 12% Cent Pieces.

Washington, June 20.-A strong de-
mand has arisen in many sections of
the country for new coins to meet
the changing war time needs. Scores
of letters to congress and treasury
officials have urged the adoption of
21z and 121z pieces and also a cent
piece to facilitate war tax payments
on small articles at the theaters, and
slight increases in many items.
McAdoO Discourages Changes.
Thus far. however, Secretary Nc
Adoo has discouraged any changes,
altho there is a bill now before con-
gress which would establish a 2-cent
piece. Both McAdoo and Director of
the Mint Baker believe the war has
not yet developed a need for the new
coins sufficiently urgent to offset the
complications resulting from making
obsolete present established systems
of handling small coins accurately and
quickly.

EAKlNG TIE NEWS

Occasionally our readers are shock
ed by the scare headlines of news
items which cause us to investigate
their reaSonableness An example of
this reached the Associated Press
the other day, to be more exact, on
July 10. A press bureau spread all
over this country the report that pri-
soners and munitions and mateals
taken were beyond the fondest hopes
of the Allies. 1t quoted the Allied high
command as taking the initiative,
making a statement which was so I'M
like the Allies that the Associated
Press caused an Investigation to be
made in Paris.
The truth was. the Allied high
command had issued no statement
at all. The dispatch as filed by the
correspondent of the press bureau
did not attribute to the high com
APPARENTLY the disptchp was changed
after being censored in France and in

GERMAN CLERGY BUSY.

The services of the clergy have
been enlisted in various parts of Ger
many to assist in keeping down the
growing popular discomfort over food
difficulties. In the doses of Munster,
Westphalia, the Official War De-
partment" has arranged for special
lectures throughout the diocese, at
which the local prieses and clergy
will preside and emissaries of the De-
partment will furnish information, in
struction and arguments designed to
answer complaints regarding food
scarcity and against the severity of
punishments for small transgressions
to the food regulations.
There are also many complaints in
the country districts over the intri-
cacy of the food regulations, and these
complaints generally reach first of
all the ears of the parish priests. The
Rhenish Westphalian Gazette, in an
editorial approving of the scheme
to enlist the assistance of the clergy,
says:
"The last few months before the
harvest will be the most trying time
Of ALL There fore the Food Depart
ment should remain in constant touch
with the priests and benefit by their
observations among the common peo-
pie"

RICH AND POOR ALIKE

"The longer the war lasts, the more
strongly will the fact be brought out
that the practic of Thrift in America
must be universal that the sacrifices
of the rich must be as great as those
of poor, declared S. w. Straus, Pre-
sident of the American Society for
Thrift.
True Democracy in a nation exists
only when it is general and there is
no Democracy without universal thrift.
We are fighting this war for the Dem
ocracy of craftsmanship, the Democ-
racy of business and the Democracy
of politics. We must fight it democ-
raticaly. Each must do his share not
alone in the terms of dollars and cents
but in personal sacrifices and self
denial, as we'll
Within sixty days our Government
will ask the people of the country for
a loan of possibly $7,OOOOOO,OOO. If
we analyze the statistics of our war
finances, we will see that require

a position to purchase larger mounts
Of these securities.
Our three Liberty Loans, amount

been subscribed to by approximately
2LOO0,OOO Americans. Thrift Stamps
are being sold at the rate of $50,000.-

monumental figures. in addition to
which we must remember the various
taxes and the excessively high prices
Of all commodities in life, we have

patriotism OF the American people.
1t is largely through the practic of tn
rift that those at home during the war
are able to demonstrate their intense
devotion to the cause for which our
boys, with marvellous valor and bril-
liant military department, are achiev-
ing victories on the battlefield
I'm floating the next issue of Lib
erty bonds, which will be as large as
the last two loans combined, it is
apparent therefore that greater fin
ancial sacrifices must be faced by
wealthy individuals and large bust
mes corporations. We must learn, in
this country the Democracy of great
wealth. Thrift must supplant the
luxures of the rich just as it is supp
lanting the thriftlessness of the poor.
The autocracy of medievalism must
be crushed blythe Democracy of the
goth century, moving forward in solid
phalanx. The thrift Of wartime is the
thrift which means America First

a SEA SPORT

A sea sport which has arisen out
of the war.hunting German submar-
ines by airship is described in The
Times. The writer's story concludes
with telling how the crew of the U-boat
apparently preferred death to'being
captued.
One of the crew of an airship spott-
ed submarine lying on the bed OF
the ocean, in fairly shallow water
THE wireless sparked," reads &C.
count in The Times, "and soon away
on the horizon there appeared little
destroyer, followed far astern by four
equat trawlers, all racing toward the
spot above which the airship cruised
around.
THE destroyer came up first, of
course, and it was not long before,
guided by wireless instructions, her
guns were trained in readiness to
greet the unsuspecting Uboat should
it bob to the surface. 1t seenged ages
to the impatient crew before the traw-
lers arrived, but things moved rapidly
once they were at the scene of action,
fer they knew their job of old.

their victim from opposite directions,
steaming toward each other Between
each pair strong sweep" was street
ched and allowed to hang in huge
loop that it might traverse the seabed.
The vessels met and crossed each 9TH
eHs tracks Immediately above the
the doomed craft. The sweep of eth
er pair engaged the U-boat fore and
after simultaneously and held her in
gigantic cradle
THUS far the German boat had
shown no signs of alarm although
those with her must have heard the
churning of the trawlers' screws. Now
she suddenly seemed to awake
to the menace that threatened her."
The article goes on the describe the
fate of the submarine. "She wriggled
and squirmed about in frantic end
eavor to scape but it was useless. Not
loophole was there to be found, and
at length. realizing the helplessness
of her plight, she ceased to struggle.
This fact was duly wirelessed by those
on board the airship to the destroyer
below. and, to give her an opportunity
to do so, the British craft now waited
for several minutes. She preferred to
lie STILL and so at tagged signal
from the destroyer, the starboard
foremost trawlers and the port aft one
attached a tin. of high explosives to
each Of the cradle wires and allowed
it to slide downwards until it rested
upon theU-boat's hull. Then those in
the airship tagged a signal and upon
the two trawlers two firing keys were
pressed.
Followed then the uprising of a
geyser Of water, and when the troubl
ed ocean became calm, of the subma-
rine there was no trace other than
an extensive patch of oil floting upon
the surface of the sea"
