because of adverse weather conditions.
He lost one days flying yesterday,

conference in history was faced with
problems of such variety, complexity,
magnitude and gravity, and declared
the time spent in framing the League

stead of wasting it, as the league pro-
vides the means of adjustment of pos
sible errors.
1T is not true that the Unit

tempts to SOW dissensions among the
delegates. He declared that questions
had cropped up at the conference
which imperilled the peace of Europe,
but believed the conference had sur
mounted those difficulties.
He said it was his conviction that
military Intervention in Russia would
be the greatest act of stupidity.
Il would rather leave Russia Boil
shevin until they see their way out
of it than to see Great Britain landed
in bankruptcy" was one of his decla-
rations. He said no approaches of

BRITISH COINAGE SYSTEM OLD
Movement Started for Change in Cur
rency That Had Its Origin Seven
Hundred Years Ago.

Great Britain's present system Of
coinage, which is threatened to be
changed, goes back something like
700 years. In the early days, the
barleycorn was standard for meas
ure. Three barleycorns laid end to
end made an inch. The wheatcorn,
at the same time, became the meas
ure of weight. 1t was laid down
that a British penny should weigh
80 wheatcorns, each taken from the
middle Of the ear and thoroughly
dried.
These, of course, were silver pen
MES. Later, when the silver pennies
were standardized, an act was passed
decreeing that 20 silver pennies
should make an ounce, and 10
ounces one pound. Twelve twenties
equal $40, and there are still $40
pennies to the sovereign, while Troy
weight, which jewelers. and gold
smiths use, preserves the old nume-
ration to the present day.
The reason why Troy weight is
so called is that the French town of
Troyes was in the middle ages the
site of great annual fair in
precious metals. Troyes had its own
system of weights, and these, or
some of them, were introduced into
England.

LONG HIDDEN FROM ENEMY
Remarkable Adventures Of Allied Sol
ders and Civilians In Lands oeou-
pied by the Huns.

There have been some wonderful
tales told of the way in which men
in occupied districts have escaped
detection by the Germans. To the
ingenuity and courage of the coun-
trywomen many British, French and
Belgians owe their lives or their lib
erty There is the case of that Brit
ish hussar who, in the Mons retreat,
managed to escape capture by hid
ing in a wood and, after many DAYS
and many adventures. was hidden
by two Belgian peasant women in a
cottage. Little by little he assumed
the air and appearance of a peasant
of the neighborhood, and passed
muster even with the Germans. Then
there is the story of the treasurer of
a French town who was hidden by
his wife in the garden for three
years. AS town treasurer the Ger
mans were very anxious to catch
him and obtain his books, but the
French wife was too much for them,
and it was only when the Germans
had gone, bag and baggage, that the
town treasurer emerged with his
books.
