PRICES DURING THE WAR
AND REIMBURSEMENT PERIOD
The World Wide Phenomenon of R;s
ing Prices Accompanied by In
crease Of Money

The United States department. of la
Dor, through the information and edn-
cation service, is issuing the results of
a study of prices during the war and
REIMBURSEMENT period made by the di-
VISION of public works and construc-
Ilon development. Discussing the
worldwide phenomenon of rising
prices accompanied by an increase Of
money, the report says:
"A study of the index figures of
commodity prices in the United States
I'M! Che Var period, tIie rise II
other countries has been greater Ac-
cording to the figures Of the bureau Of
labor statistics, the wholesale prices
of all commodities in September, 1919
were 1O7 per cent higher than the av-
erage for the year 1918. This was the
highest figures reached in this coun-
try. The price level in Canada, ac-
cording to the Canadian labor depart
ment, reached the high point in No
vennber the price level then being 1l5
per cent over the 1913 figure. Ac-
cording to the figures of the London
Economist, the price level in the Unit
ed Kingdom was highest in the month
of August, being at that time l33 per
cent above the 1918 average. Figures
on the increase of prices in France
are not available for any time later
than June, 1918; however, the index
figure as published by the Statistique
Generate for the month of May show
ed an increase of 235 per cent over
the 1913 price level. Not only do the
countries nearer the scene of actual
warfare show greater rises in the
price level, but it is also true that IN
these countries the price began to rise
at an earlier date than they did in the
United States.
"The general rise in commodity
prices was accompanied in all thes'
countries by a considerable increase II

and in the amounts Of bank deposits

Court martial for Colonel Hayward?

In Colonel WILLIAM HAYwARD's
lively and interesting relation Of in
cidents observed by him while COM
mandlng in France the American
fighters who won from the Germans
the gratifying title "Blutlustige
SchwartzmHnner." or in the English
language "bloodthirsty black men,"
we read without surprise that at the
game frlvolously denomlnated African
golf the soldiers from the United
States numerically trimmed the ebon
hued fighters from Morocco, but it
is astonishing to learn that Colonel
HAYWARD added:
81 don't know what the boys would
have done except for this 1.-THE accession
of wealth produced by their superior
skill at crapsl. for many of them had
received no pay for several months"
Having been in France, and conse-
quently deprived Of the light shed at
frequent intervals by the War De
partment on the subject Of soldiers
pay, Colonel HAYWARD labors under
the erroneous belief that American
soldiers in France sometimes were
unpaid for considerable periods OF
time. He even asserts that many Of
his own men received no pay for
several months" Had he remained
in the United States and attended
intelligently to the utterances of the
War Department, Colonel HAYWARD
would not harbor this mistaken be-
lief. He would know, as all stay at
home Americans know, that the pay
master was always on time, and per-
haps a little ahead Of time, with the
troops In the American EIpedltionary
Forces.
1t is an ancient privilege Of travel
lers to tell tall tales, but Colonel
HAYWARD must not infringe on good
nature. He is still IN the army, and
subject to court-martlal.

MODERN KNIGHTS ERRANT.
Recognition Wanted for Americans
who Fought Under Foreign Flags.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Str. In
tho midst of the rejoicings over our
Homecoming troops and the celebra-
ton of their glorious victories the thou
sands of Americans who saw from the
first year of the war that this was a
war on the part OF Germany for world
domination long before our Government
was aware OF 1t. and who enlisted in
defence OF freedom In the Canadian,
English and French armies. have appar-
emily been completely overlooked by
their country.
What has become OF these true knights
errant of the twentieth century? Have
most OF them returned already 20 their
native shores as quietly and modestly
as they left. or are they still in for
eiRn service?
What provision, IL any. has been made
by foreign Governments f"- the support
of tho wounded and maimcI among these
heroes? Many OF these men have un-
doubtedly fought throughout the war.
Are they to be treated now as men with
out a country. or are We prepared to
greet them and 10 provide for them as
well as they deserve?
And what OF those who fell, Should
not their relatives be as generously pro-
vided for as II they had fought in our
own army. and should not some fitting
memorial be erected in Washington to
these men who answered the call OF
duty and Of humanity, even though II
meant that they must serve under a
foreign flag? HOWARD w. STARR.

Give Uncle Sam the Budget System.

Chairman SHERLEY of the House
Appropriations Committee is making
every effort TO crown his service in his
present capacity by providing for the
United States budget system for the
regulation OF its appropriations. II
he succeeds. he will deserve the thanks
Of every American citizen.
Had the United States adopted a
budget system before the war, we
should have saved millions, II not bill
ions. of dollars. The absence Of any
intelligent method of coordinatlng ap
rropriations the chaotic condition pro-
duced by the unrelated activities of a
dozen committees to get money out Of
the Treasury. each without regard TO
what the others are doing, has al
ways invited confusion and extrava-
gance. When the country's money bag
was ripped open for war the situation
became far worse than 1t Is in normal
times. Had there been q budget in
peace, it could have been adapted for
war without serious difficulty. and
every taxpayer would have got the
benefit Of il.
President WILSON follows the ex-
ample of all his predecessors in re-
cent years when he urges the adop-
ton of budget system. Chairman
SHEREY follows the example of oil
his predecessors when he appeals to
his colleagues to adopt the budget sys-
TEN. Every student Of Government
finance who has not personal inter
est in maintaining the dignity and
Importance Of some committee or
other acknowledges the desirability
OF the budget system. There is not II
Treasury Department official ofbralns
and experience who does not support
the principle Of "a budget.
The United States Government has
got to save money in the future. APP
populations must be made intelli-
gently and with knowledge Of the ma
tons financial condition and needs.
The way to apply intelligence to and
to obtain knowledge of appropriations
Is through the application of budget
system and the establishment Of order
where disorder now reigns.
