Thousands OF Tons OF
Saper Hauled Across
Country Without Loss

WASHINGTON May 21.-Now that
the government has completed its war
time shipments to India OF silver from
melted dollars, director Of the mint
Baker has disclosed how many thous-
ands OF tons Of metal were hauled
from the Philadelphia mint to San
Francisco In special trains guarded
by armed men, without loss Of an
ounce and without general knowledge
of the procedure.
Eighteen Of these treasure trains
made the trip across the continent in
the twelve months ending last April
%. with the silver like big bricks
piled high in each of the five express
cars composing special train. Two
men with automatic pistols at their
hips and sawed off shotguns on their
laps sat in each car, and later guarded
the secret transfer Of the white bars
from train to ship at San Francisco.
Each silver brick weighed about
six pounds and was worth 800, and
each train carried between $4,000, 900
and $10,000,000 Of the bricks. Wreck
ing of the trains and theft of the
metal by bandits was considered an
ever present menace to be guarded
against. Guarded shipments of sill
yer dollars also were made from the
United States treasury in Washington
and from the New Orleans sub-treas-
ury to Philadelphia. These dollars
travelled in stout bags of 1000 each.
and were handled much like bags OF
sugar, except that armed men were
always near. More than 265, 100000
silver dollars were melted and ship
ped to India during the year, to meet
urgent war demands for coinage.

ENTERT AINMENT
FOR ROTARIANS
Muncie Club Guest Of Local
Rotary at Dlnner-W. D.
Foulke Gives Speech.

Richmond Rotarians entertained the
member Of the Muncie Rotary club at
a dinner at the Arlington hotel Tues
ray evening. Nineteen members of
the Muncie club were present, a large
number being unable to come be-
cause of the Indictment weather and
absence from the city.
The tables were artistically decor
ated with large vases of Rose Premier
and Laddie carnations and small
French baskets Of sweet peas, with a
bronze Goddess Of Liberty placed on
an end table.
During the evening, Kranston and
LaSalle, an act from the Murray thea
ter, entertained the clubs. Several pre-
sensations were made during the even
ing, among them a distinguished
Service Medal" presented by Walker
Land to Jerry" Keever of Muncie.
The medal which was tin plate, bib,
fork and spoon. was presented for an
act of bravery recently when the
Richmond club visited Muncie, and
Keever is said to have paid for three
plates. Rev. j. ]. Rae, better known
among Rotarians as "Doc," was pre-
sented with a box of flowers, which,
upon opening. proved to be rubber
whistle. J. H. Bentley, president OF
the Richmond club, was presented
with a gayel by ]. ]. Rae.
Athens of America.
The after dinner speech of the even.
ing was made by William Dudley
Foulke, who, in clever and humorous
manner cited to the Muncie Rotarians
the wonders of Richmond, stating that
It has often been called the Athens OF
America, but that sooner or later
Athens would be called the Richmond
of Europe. He pointed out the writ
ers, artists and statesmen who have
hailed from Richmond.
Speeches were made by Muncie and
Richmond Rotarians. Each had to
make some sort of a talk whenever
called upon, and the speeches created
a lot of impromptu fun, among the
members of the two clubs. Rotary
club functions are always informal,
for everyone must call everyone else
by his first name or suffer fne and
the sergeant-at-arms is sometimes
very exacting.

WILL PAY WAR TAXES
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
CONGRESS PLANS TO LEVY 3
BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
TOTAL DEBT 80 BILLIONS.

To pay for the war within gen
Grafton, at the rate of $1,000, 900
of the principal of the debt and near
ly 1,000,00O,000 of interest thereon
each year constitutes the basis of
the frscal program being framed by
the republican leaders of the new
congress.
Taxes this year will be $4,000,
900. Next year it is hoped to reduce
the amount to $3,0OO,000,000. The
republicans will aim first to reduce
the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment to approximately the $1,000
100000 year of ante bellum days.
On the basis of an annual tax of
$4,000, 100000 year this will guar
antee a balance of $2,000,000,000 a
year for the war debt.
During the years that this pro-
gram is in effect the allies will be
repaying the $1O,000,000,0OO worth
of loans made by the United States.
1t is not expected that these funds
will come back in great volume Tor
some time to come. In fact, some OF
the loans may never be repaid, IN
dicating the necessity of congress
adopting a program that will take
care of the entire debt incurred by
this government during the war
against the central powers.
War Debt Now $50, 200, 100000.
The cost of the war to date is esti-
mated at $30,000,000,0OO, including
$4,000, 100000 loaned to the allies;
The cost will be increased by several
billions more necessary for demoblil-
cation and other expenses. Altogeth-
err. it is estimated, the American peo-
pies war bill will approximate $25,-
100000.
At the present time, it is asserted
there is a considerable sentiment ID
congress against any further loans
to foreign governments. Many tnin :;
that this country has done its full
share and cannot be expected to con-
tinue lending money abroad, except
as American bankers, on banking
terms, may make the advances.

.BASKETMAKER WINS
HIGH PROFESSORSHIP
SELF TAUGHT ENGLISH WORK
Err RISES TO POSITION OF AU-
THORITY ON LANGUAGES.

LONDON, England.-From max
ing baskets in the grimy east end of
London to becoming a professor at
Cambridge University is just about
as long Jump as one can imagine.
This is the record of Thomas Okey,
distinguished British scholar and
author, who has just been elected
first professor of italian at Cam
bridge. 1t has taken him something
over half century to make that
Jump, for ne was a mere boy when
he started making baskets in Spita-
fields, and he is now 81.
Professor Okey's history is through
out one of "self help" He knows
French, German and Spanish almost
as well as italian, in which he has
specialized; he is the author of a
whole shelfful of learned works (as
well as one on basket-making), he
has occupied succession of distin-
guished positions and been the recip-
lent of many enviable honors. His
success is the outcome of years of
patient study, most of it in such time
as he could spare from his trade.
His father, like his grandfather
and great grandfather, was basket
maker before him.

HEIRESS SHUNS WORLD
BELIEVING SHE'S ALONE
Dropped From Sight When Mother
Died, and Rents From Holdings
Are Piling Up.

NEW YORK.-Although Miss
Mary E. Wood is mistress of an es-
tate estimated at $75O,OO0 she feels
that since the death of her foster
mother last September she is alone
in the world and friendless. So she
has closed her big house and is living
quietly by herself.
Miss Wood dropped from sight Last
January Rents from her large rea
estate holdings piled up. Business
matters, including bills that required
her attention, accumulated. But there
was no word from her to those who
handled her affairs.
To add to the puzzle of her disapp'
nearance there are two striking feat
ures. One is that the legal action that
brought to public attention the DIS
appearance was a petition by an I'M
dertaker to compel her to pay the
bill for her foster mothers funeral
expenses here.
The second is that steps already
have been taken to sell the home by
foreclosure proceedings, PERMISSION
having been given to serve MISS
Wood by publication.

THE OUTLAW RIVER
Is CURBED AT LAST
SACRAMENTO WILL GIVE UP A
HALF MILLION ACRES. FER
TILE FIELDS IN VALLEY.

The Sacramento river in Califor-
mia has gone on its last rampage. Six
more weeks and the project for
Stacking its giant forces will have
been completed and the state freed
Of a tyrant whose ravages have cost
millions of dollars.
From the dream of two real estate
brokers of Sacramento has develop
ed the scheme that will make 100000
of the most fertile acres in Califor-
MIA produce big crops and attract
thousands of new sttlers to land hith-
erto unproductive.
Land Safe From Floods.
Land in ID counties is involved in
the project, and eventually 1,750,0O0
acres will be included in the reclaim
ed area. The year 1919 will see all
of this land made safe from floods,
but productivity calls for irrigation,
and this is the work now under way,
Enough of the irrigation systems will
be completed this year to care for
10000 acres.
Former soldiers will be sought for
settlers in the Sacramento valley. 1t
man has little money he can buy
40 acres of land that has been plant
ed for him, move into home already
erected, with COW, pigs and chick
ems awaiting their first meal from the
new owner. If he does not have mon
ey, but has ambition and some knoWl-
edge of farming there will be men
ready to back him to the limit.

KAISER BILL SAWS
TREES TO REWARD LOYAL
Cuts II Saplings Into Blocks, En-
graves Them and Sends Pieces to
Faithful in Germany.

AMERONGEN. Correspondence
of the Associated Press. )-Seventy-
seven trees sawed into logs in one
day is the best record attained by
William Hohenzollern since his flight
into Holland and his semi-imprison-
ment in the castle of Amerongen.
William II completed on May IA the
saving of 5000. The last of these
was cut into about thirty small
blocks, which were taken to the eX-
kaiser's apartments in the castle and
there marked by his own hand with
the date of the occurrence.
On this occasion, as when the
1,OO0th and 2,000th trees were cut,
blocks were presented as souvenirs
to several members of the suite and
to the workmen in the castle garden
who help in arranging the trees for
saving. Most of the remaining blocks
were then packed in a case and sent
off to Germany for distribution
among those who have remained
true to the memory of their former
ruler.
