UNIQUE WAR MONEY
SECURED BY SAMPSON
Pieces of Paper Money of Small De-
nominations Issued by France
and Germany During War
Presented to First
National

An interesting collection of French
and German war money secured by
II, w. Sampson, formerly assistant
postmaster, who just recently re-
turned to Pullman from postal serv-
ice overseas, is on display at the
First National bank, and is attract
ing wide attention. Up to the be-
ginning OF the war, according to Mr..
Sampson, there was no paper money
in France under five francs ($1.00),
but during the war both France and
Germany were compelled to issue
notes of small denomination.
The collection of French notes is
featured by display Of the grim
Ihumor of the French during the war
in the form of "cootie' water marks
in the place of the usual silk threads
through the paper money.
The collection gathered by Mr..
Sampson and now on display at the
First National contains the follow
ing pieces:
(l0c), issued on account of shortage
of prescious metals instead of the or
binary one-half franc silver piece
This note may be cashed at any
French bank and will be invalid after
two years following the cessation of
hostilities.
French notes of 80 confines
G0c), issued by the chamber of
commerce of Nancy by special per-
mission of the French government,
because of the shortage of silver
coin. Not good after December 81,
1920.
French note of one frame (20cl,
issued by the chamber of commerce
Of Anglers to replace silver coin of
the same denomination in July, 1915,
and good up to July 81, 1920.
German note, so pfennig (12hc),
now worth only about three cents.
A German bank note issued by the
city treasury of Andernach and the
savings bank of hayden, good up to
March, 1919.
German rs pfennig (6Ae) note.
the smallest sum offered In the form
OF paper money in Germany. This
now has an actual value of less than
two cents. This money was put out
by the savings bank of AndeTnach-
Mayen to replace the nickel coins of
the small denominat on formerly
used
The collection also includes three
German coins, each of which has an
interesting history as related by Mr..
Sampson The 10 pfennig (2kc)
piece is pre-war coin, issued in
1911. All nickel coins were with
drawn from circulation in Germany
during the War and the metal used
for war materials.
Another 10 pfennig piece dis
played is made Of baser metal. or
an alloy. largely aluminium and re-
placed the nickel coins that went in
to cannon, These coins were issued
in 1917 and under the present fl
nancial status Of Germany are now
worth practically nothing
A five pfennig q a q German pre-
war coin of nickel, Issue of 1918,
represents the smallest coins circu
lated in Germany previous to the
great war, These pieces disappeared
entirely during the war,

Harold Farley, four-year old son

used as a chicken house, the pens
had been thoroughly cleaned by the

4 several inches OF straw placed on
the floor. This, as well as the
cracks in the pens, had been saturat-

which he found to be in flames. He
called the mother and upon attempt

not better informed along these lines
than the average city man. He Is
