 ScStiOn in Mails

New oIrk, Dec. 10.-Warning that Christmas mail, particularly parcel post matter, should be sent early to avoid grave danger of delay and ot crushing and damage to packages was issued today by Postmaster Patten.
 Five hundred trains have been sus- pended on roads serving this city, it is pointed out, while indications point to an unprecedented volume of postal business
 M1. aPtten said that the supplement tai force at work for the holiday $ would be able to handle tho busin ess however, unless the public waits un- til three days before Christmas for starting it's packages on their jour neyS,' in which case serious delays and damages to parcels would be un- aNoidable.
 Mail sent early may be marked Do not open until Christmas without the payment of extra postage for the message"

ERRONEOUS REPORT
 0F STRIKE ENDING
Announcement Made From White
 House, Then Corrected Later

Washington Dec. l0.--Announce- ment of the adjournment of the In dianapoliS cOnferorcc on the coal strike situation until today held up an extensive pronouncement from the United States Railroad Administra- ton as to plans for the restoration of normal fuel distribution.
 The railroad administration had eN- pected to promulsatc a full program looking to the gradual return to nor mai conditions, but halted the an nouncement when the miners failed to yield to the request for d speedy read iuStment
 lt.iS recognized here that the prcsi- dents proposals to the strikers, tele- graphed to Indianapolis, cmbody in the main the recommendations of pr. Harry A. Garfield, fuel administrator, but to the surprise of every one 1t was stated throughout the day at Dr. GartieldS office that he had not seen d copy of the proposed settlement program which had gone to Indian apolis over the presidents signature.
 Guessing In Capital Renewed.
 The fact that Dr. Garfield appar- ently had been left out of the final White House plans for settlement started conjecturos at once aS to the form of the settlement which thc president proposed. There arose a suspicion that the president had set aside the Garfield recommendations and yielded to the demands of the men or perhaps suggested a com promise along the lines of the pro posals of Secretary of Labor Wilson.
 Therefore. when the actual phrase ology of the presidents proposal was made public here the non -purticipa- toin of the fuel administrator in the final phase of the situation became more difficult than ever to under stand
 During the day the miSinterpreta = ton by officials here of a telegram from Attorney General Palmer to the White House brought forth the CT roncous impression that the strike had been settled. The news flashed ! broadcast but correction was issued immediately.
 Palmer Sends Correction.
 The text of the telegram from Mir. Palmer as corrected reads:
 statements will be given out at 2:3O central time. Contempt pro- ccodings have been continued for one week. The miners will meet at o'clock and promptly acquicsce in President Wilson's plans.'

New York. Dec. 10.-Why should
 ne man out at Browns Crossing or
 inoleum City worry about the de-
 reciation Of foreign currency. as he
 told he should worry?
 Mhat is the matter with the French
 haRse, anyway, tEat the bottom has
 ropped out of it's purchasing power?
 In simple every day language.
 wept clear of all technicalities the
 econd question may be answered in
 his way:
 Assume France and the United *tates to be two persons trading with
 ach other. Call France Jean" and
 he United States sam Jean is horribly in debt to sam. sam has been selling things to Jean and our bills to Jean have so piled up that he
 s up against it to pay them ott.
 ean's been having hard luck, too. Ind accidents and all that. And out bf every dollar Jean earns he has to bay 50 cents to Sam. The result is of tourso to Jean that for all practical purposes a dollar is only worth 50 fents to him because half of every 3iollar he earns belongs to Sam. This
 s not the exact figure of course, 1t is merely an illustration.
 But unless Jean can keep steady lob and work hard, he cant pay sam back And the place where Jean works (Europe) is in very bad repair, |hnd the machinery he is using needs Fixing up, and lot of his tools are broken, and besides Jean isn't in very good health, and he's missed a lot of 3time due to the war.
 Jean can't go on working unless |somebody puts up some more money Ito fix up his workshop (Europe) and .mend the broken tools and help him / get well and make up for lost time. 1If som ebody doesn't put up that 4money, then Jean will be unable to 3pay back the 50 cents out of each dol liar he is making now and sam will Inever get his money back.
 What is true of Jean is slightly less 3true of John (England) and Is more i Itruo of Tony (Italy) and still moro : true of other fellows over there. The fact is that Europe has bor- 1rowed and borrowed against her fu- lure productivity to such an extent that the paper money issued by the

governments to represent these loans Is growing less and less In value And because 1t is growing less valuable, 1t takes more of it to buy things in the United states and the more that is bought from the United States the less merchants in the United States arc inclined to take the French franc and he Italian lire and even tho Brit ish pound sterling, because they are likely to be less and less valuable.
 Result: foreign trade is stopping and IS likely to stop altogether. And if this happens, Europe may never be able to pay us, and the industrial sit uation in the United States may be very badly affected indeed, because of the stoppage Of the outlet for Amer lean products.
 sam has got to finance Jean--has got to lend him still more money-a lot more--if Jean is to get on his feet and pay back sam all the pack debts.
 The United States has sold to Eu- rope in the short space of ten months S3,3SS,5O0, 900 worth more of mer- chandlsc than it got back. But that is only part TO this huge total must be added an expert balance of $9,- 49O 9O3,9G9. accumulated during 1918, 1917 and 1916.
 The net result is that we have sent abroad nearly THIRTEtEN BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF MERCHAN- DISE MORE THAN WE HAVE GOT BACK, in a period of 46 months.
 No nation before ever had such d one-sided balance of trade. These gi- santic shipments to Europe were off set during the war and in the carly part of this year by credits granted by the U. $. government to European governments. In June, however, such credits ceased entirely. There was some break in the exchange rates European money declined in value m measured in American dollars) in March, but it was in June that the great break began, which carried English sterling down below S4.06, French francs down to 9.6O francs to the dollar and Italian lire down to 12.65 to the dollar.
