By the time the road work is going
in full blast, from 200 to $50 men will
be employed, said Mr.. Hoskins. The
weekly pay roll will run between $4,000

Currency of Gold and Silver.

l We are confronted with the stubborn
fact that the peoples of the world since
the dawn of recorded history have adj
hered to a metallic currency Of gold and
silver.
Q. That until England, which had
financed the allied nations in the Napo-
leonic wars at its close in order to forti-
fly her position as the creditor nation
of the world adopted the gold standard,
the worlds credit was based upon a
bimetallic currency.
3. That the peoples Of the world by
a universal common law enactment
adopted the metallic monetary system
because metallic currency is practi-
cally indestructible and survives the
great cataclysmic unheavels that through
the ages have devasted te world and
for that very reason it is the money Of
the toilers. By its very nature it can be
boarded by them against the day of
need, secure in the knowledge that, no
matter what governmental changes may
affect them, the necessities of life are
provided for That this is true is pro
ven by the fact that in the present war
the French government had to cease
coming its minor nickel coins because
they were taken out of circulation by
the poorer working people.

Must Have Specie Basis.

1. No currency system is stable
which is not based upon specie basis
or redemption fund of at least 35 per-
cent of the outstanding volume Of paper
This is the specie reserve held at all
times by the Bank of England.
At the close of the War of the Rebel
lion, the national debt was $2,S00,O0,
a mere bagatelle compared with the
debt made in the present war. Yet
with California, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada,
British Columbia and Australia pouring
the vast stream of gold into the chan
nels of commerce, the premium on gold
rose to $50 per cent At that time the
monetary system of the United States
was on bimetallie basis.
As usual in all discussions of the
monetary system, all the hoarX schemes
to make one dollar do the work Of two
dollars, that have been handed down
through the ages, are advanced as some

Centenary Quota For This
Area Half Subscribed

Baltimore, Md, May 2I.-Metho-
dism in this a.'s,. again marked up
another smashing record today.
Funds subscribed to the Methodist
Centenary world up-building funo
was close to the $4,000,000 point TO-
night. Centenary leaders were con-
vinced that the Cyer-night returns
yet to be tabulated would push the
total half million beyond that fig
ure.
Revised figures tonight based upon
reports from 476 churches out OF
the 1900 in Central Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Delaware, District of Co
lumbia, Virginia and West Virginia
showed subscriptions amount TO $3,-
1856, sos. This figure is based upon
the annual pledges made fol period
of five years, covering the entire
Centenary Survey.
"Over the top" churches number
ed 164, a remarkably high percent
age in the opinion of Centenary head
quarters here. When complete re-
turns are received they are expected
to reval that double that number ac-
tually have reached their FIJI alolt-
ments. Delay in reports renders the
official total much lower than the
actual amount thus far subscribed.
Central Pennsylvania districts,
which held the lead in the Centenary
race in the first three days, were out
distanced today by crush of new
pledges in Baltimore conference
cities and towns, which gave the lat
ter conference first honors on the
list. 1t is now a neck and neck race
between these two big conferences of
the Area.
This Area as whole stands high
in the list, showing records in other
parts Of the. United States. The
Washington Area with today's tabu-
lations complete. stood fifth among
the eighteen big areas into which
the nation was divided for the Cen
tenary campaign National head
quarters today announced that the
total Centenary subscriptions for the
entire country amounted to $50,648,-
5S7, nearly one-half of the $1O5,-
100000 sought before the drive ends
May IS, for world wide relief, social
and educational projects.
The record up to date, embracing
subscriptions made upon an annual
basis by the several conferences, is

Central Pennsylvania, $lS3,574;
Washington conference, $67, 7,5OZ;

BERLIN RAGE COOLING
Crowd Apathetic at Latest Demon
stration Against Treaty.


Berlin, May 24-The Majority So
cialists held a demonstration of pro
test against the peace terms in the
Wilhelmsplatz Wednesday.
The crowd, in contrast with earlier
meetings, received the speeches in
rigid silence.
Philip Scheidemann, the chancellor,
said he hoped to attain peace by un-
derstanding on the basis of the Ger
man counter proposals. A peace of
Cancellation, he said, only was possible
if Germany is inclined as an equal in
the league of nations.
The league was necessity, but the
government was against the spirit of
its present form, which made the Ger
mans the slaves of other nations. He
ended by calling for cheers for the
league.
Herr Mueller, for the Independent
Socialists, said the Socialists of all
countries must regard peace as impos-
sible under the treaty. Frau Jucha-
noZ said that if the allied peace terms
were carried out they would perpetu.
ate a war of hunger.
The Independent Socialists also
held a demonstration in the Lust gar

WASHINGTON. Jan. 22.-The Re-
publican Publicity Association, thru
its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., gave out the following statement
from its Washington headquarters:
According to report Mr.. Wilson
has announced his statue at the peace
conference to be that Of prime min.
ister.' A prime minister is defined
as the responsible head Of a ministry
OF executive government, especially
of a monarchial government Mr..
Wilson has long been suspected of
ftvoring a monarchial government,
and his writings and utterances show
his admiration for the British form.
The English prime minister, con-
tinues Webster's dictionary, control
the actions Of the members OF the
cabinet and the ministers. He is near
ly always the First Lord of the Treas
ury, who has no portfolio and has
control over practically all appoint
ments that might have an important
influence on the general policy OF
the government In this respect we
find Mr.. Wilson running true to
form.
But he has gone beyond that. By
his autocratic assumption of power
he has regated to himself not only
the functions of prime minister,
but of an imperial ruler, He would
have us believe he is the state in
theory, as dictator, and in fact, as
prime minister by self appointment.
In this respect he has attempted to
put himself not on a plane with the
ex-Kaiser and the late Gear, but ev-
en- above them, for whereas their will
was made known through the me-
dunn of representative, who at
least availed himself of a little lau.
tude in interpreting the imperial de-
sires, Wilson makes his own inter
probation Of his own desires at the
peace conference, for, as everyone
knkows the other members of the
commission, and the AZ press agents,
