LOVES FLOWERS
(By z. d. Koontzl

Flowers in abundance piled on your
casket,
Plucked from fair gardens which ma
ture has fed,
The papers announce with an air Of
approval;
But how have they helped you. when
you are deadg
Win they undo the wrongs that were
done you
Or brighten the future, where spirits
must tread2
VIII the roses and lilies in piles of
profusion
Bring back the smiles you should
have had here
VIII their sweetness and fragrance
cheer the heart broken,
Heal up the wounds, Or dry up
grief's tears
win the petals of beauty that die by
your gravestone
Change visions Of hope, or humanity's
fear?
If you have a flower my friend,
That sheds fragrance sweet,
why hold in your chilly hand or
cast it at unthankful feet?
Why cast your flowers hundred
fold
Upon a casket fine
If to some living soul that's sad
'Twould shed a light divine?
Perhaps its beauty lights the eye
Of some poor sad faced child
Or in the rooms of misery live
It's beauty undefiled
What matter to the sleeping dust
If they cast their weight in gold,
Or il It's just a pine trees sprig
Plucked from some mountain void.
As for me I'll take mine here
And save all stylish show.
A common pansy now and then
Is good enough | know
With words of love and sun-lit smiles
To cheer me on my way
But leave the flower decked funerals
For those who thing it pays.

far as to call them cowardly. This Is
contumely poured on a race of fine,
peace loving people. Cinnamon are
not a race OF pugnacious brawlers;
they do not love quarrels for them
selves. They love peace and wish to
remain at peace with their neighbors.
But properly armed and drilled, China
men are splendid fighters and will give
q good account of themselves.
1.-THE Chinese army. so-called, exists
on paper. 1t Is neither drilled nor
equipped. It may be great in numbers,
but that means nothing, and herein is
the inherent weakness Of the militarist
element OF our country. Without for
eign help these men can do nothing,
all their plans are baked at the be-
ginning.
1.-THE Chinese people arc awakening
rapidly to their own responsibility, not
only to China, but to the rest Of the
world. They are not standing still.
AS an instance Of their progress know
that China has adopted a new phonetic
alphabet consisting of thirty char
acters. The former alphabet, a
picture one. had over 200 char
acters and was with difficulty acquired.
BY the people it was never acquired.
The consequence was that our various
provinces could not understand each
other, certainly not in speech and
rarely by written language. The gen.
eral adoption Of the new characters
will bring about homogeneity. 1t is a
big stride. In fewer years than many
people foresee China will become edn-
Gated and the poison Of militarism will
be eradicated.
"In religion the educative process
goes on broadly. It accompanies ed
ucation in ordinary things OF this
world. Therelare no narrow sects pre-
served by the Chinese when they adopt
Christianity. They do not realize a
difference between Methodists. Presby-
terians, Episcopalians. except so far
as to say, for instance, that the Meth
odists are people who have their
church in a certain street of a city and
the Presbyterians have their church in
another. In other words the various
creeds are designated by the locality

notes. One OF these, for which the
ingenious and patriotic artist who de-
signed 1t was subsequently lodged in
a German Jail, had on the back an out
line sketch of lion whose tongue pro-
truded contemptuously. 1t was dis
covered by the German authorities
after many of these were in circulation
that the lions body embraced an out
line map Of Belgium and the con-
temptuous tongue Of the lion was that
bit Of Belgian territory that was
strongly held by tho Belgian troops
throughout the war.
In addition to the Belgian notes
there was a great fiotation Of German
marks. When the German troops
evacuated Belgium the Government
faced the problem OF withdrawing
from circulation both German marks
and the forced issue of the Societe
Generate. It accomplished this by
giving in exchange a certain amount
of the notes of the National Bank OF
Belgium and the remainder In bonds
of the national government. As re-
suit OF this exchange 1t holds now
more than six billion marks OF Ger
man currency. an amount normally
equal to one billion two hundred mil
lion dollars.
France had n similar problem In Al
SAGE and Lorraine. With more patriot
ism than financial Judgment France
exchanged French bank notes for the

seen no counterfeits or the Bank of
England note. but there Is said to be
Q plentiful supply Of them in Constan-
tinople and throughout the Near East,
where a greater confidence was shown
in Bank OF England notes than in any
other form OF paper currency; and the
Bolshevists were ready to meet the
demand.
This programme of wholesale coun-
terfeiting by the Bolshevists Is a part
Of their political programme. In Boil
shevist political economy there is no
place for money. They found 1t was
impossible to withdraw money from
circulation In Russia and so they con-
sciously set to work TO make Russian
money of no value by printing I'M
limited amounts not only of their own
ruble issue but of the Car notes and
the Kerensky rubles.
The finest money printing estab-
lishment in the world next to the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing in
Washington was located at Petrograd.
The Bolshevist propa ganda in other
nations required money, and so they
set to work counterfeiting the notes
OF other nations with the double object
in view of furnishing funds for the
immediate use OF Bolshevist propa-
gandists in other countries and Tor the
deeper purpose of destroying conf
dence of other peoples in their own
circulation by injecting perfectly exc
cuted counterfeits into the circulation
OF other countries. No one processes
accurately to know how far this dia-
bolical scheme has been successful It
is regrettable that in this connection
the Bolshevists had the example of
one of the Allies, who counterfeited
the mark while the war was on and
gave the counterfeit paper TO German
Socialists to help their propaganda in
Germany.
In normal times of peace the great
varieties OF currency circulating in
Europe always tended to hamper the
freedom OF commercial operations.
The difficulties which flow in the
train OF the numerous and extremely
complicated issues now in circulation
make the currency situation on the
Continent a serious obstacle in the
way OF returning to a normal economic
life.

In the East there are coal and oil to be

mineral and agricultural possibilities.
The Germans made no mistake in Sc
lecting the Near East as a place for
investment. They organized banks
there, and the banker did not take
chances. He knew what he was
about There is a banking vacuum
from the Adriatic east.
"If America will study these oppor-
tunities and will link imagination with
an actual knowledge OF existing con-
ditions she can, with her ways OF
dealing with things. make a new world
out of these backward countries. The
greatest export America could send to
those countries would be men with a
knowledge Of construction. Of finance
and OF management. These countries
have had bad government SO long that
there Is no impetus left in the native
people and they have made no prog
ress, in spite of having natural re-
sources that would have supported
great development. The course fol-
America to follow is, first. to investi-
gate. to prospect, then to construct
retaining an interest in the Junior Sc
curities and keeping the operation ir
their own hands. There is an enor'
nous field for profit to Americans and
FOR service to these people,"
There seems to me much SOUND
suggestion in this interview, as wei
as informing discussion of the Euro
pean railroad situation.

quarters OF billion dollars moro cir
culation than we have in the United
States.
While the notes OF the Bank Of
France are the only national circula-
ton and the only legal tender, there
has been issued by many Of the towns
OF France, through the local chambers
OF commerce, circulating notes Of small
denomination.
In Italy circulation consisted of notes
of the three great banks of issue, the
Bank of Italy, the Bank of Naples
and the Bank of Sicily. Before the
war the Italian note circulation was
1,730, 100000 lire. To-day II is $751;
100000 lire.
In Belgium the pre-war circulation
consisted of the notes of the National
Bank OF Belgium. When the German
Government came into Brussels they
were not in a position to command a
further issue by the National Bank,
but they compelled the leading COM
mercial bank, the Societe Generate, to
put out an issue. The volume of this
issue grew to large figures, but large
as 1t was 1t was supplemented by
issues by every town OF Importance
in Belgium. I have seen a collection
CT these issues OF Belgian and French
city currency which filed two large
scrap books Of perhaps a hundred
pages each. each page of which was
covered with an endless variety OF
