WHAT YOUR MONEY IS WORTH
Comparative Value of Coins Of DIT,

Explained.

How much Is a franc? A ruble? A
mark? To be we'll posted man should

no telling how soon he may be called
upon to exchange his perfectly good
circulation In France, England, Russia,
Germany or other European countries.
OF course values are changing al
most daily, as regards the exchange
of foreign money for Uncle Sans dol

can be figured that in Germany the
mark is worth 23.8 cents In United
States money. The German thaler Is
equal to three marks, and the krone "a
gold piece equals ten marks. In Eng
land the sovereign (gold) is worth $4.-
1868, a pound sterling; the penny
equals two of our cents. the crown
$1.21 and the shilling "a cents.
1t is interesting to note that the

also the unit Of currency In Belgium

to the peseta of Spain, and Ira Of

No Satisfaction to France.

[By John DeGandt, United Press
Staff Correspondent
PARIS, Oct. 22.-'"The German
reply gives no satisfaction to
France" a high government official
stated to the United Press today.
President Wilson stated that the
allied command should dictate the
conditions of an armistice. Germany
asks it on bases advantageous to
Germany. She agitates the question
of honor, after the most numerous
lies.
81 am sure President Wilson can
not be pleased that Germany attempt
ed to make the world believe he was
hasty when he denounced her muir
ders. She would like to induce neu-
trails to verify things which already
have been verified, thus to gain time
and prolong the conversation.
Berlin vainly waited for i'm
provement in the military situation.
Then Won Hindenburg brought bad
news to Berlin, which consequently
set forth in its reply more ardent
desire for an armistfce.

son will make no reply. In case he

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Germany is

entice America into protecting the
German nation against the righteous
retribution for it's crimes against
humanity BY seeking to encourage
international sentimentalism among
Americans, Germany hopes to escape
with some of her loot, at the same
time dividing the democratic nations
against one another.
While pleading for peace of JUS
tice, the German government has
taken no action against it's military
criminals who have tried to conquer
the world by rape. incendiarism, muir
der and robbery. All of the old gang
retain their positions from Won Hin
denburg to the lowest, their hands
still dripping with the blood of civil
lization.
Every note addressed to President
Wilson is debated by the war chiefs
before it is despatched. Every pos
sible trap into which the militia rists
believe America might fall is care
fully set and concealed with cunning
words.
A German chancellor who pleads
for the salvation of honor of the
people and at the same time denies
the cruelties of Germany's submarine
policy cannot be trusted.
Having outraged Belgium. defiled
France, bombed the open towns of
Great Britain and murdered Ameri-
can women and children on the high
seas, the Germans will henceforth lie
to the uttermost, believing false
promises may save them.
Now that their bloody crimes have
failed, they cringe before the least
harmed of their marked victims and
plead that their interests be safe
guarded.
They can not speak honest words
having but single meaning. Their
acceptance Of conditions for an
armistice is so phrased as to mean
anything or nothing. Their promises
