A complete reorganization Of the
American Cities company manage
ment is contemplated, according TO "a
report received yesterday. The first
step in the reorganization was said
to have been taken on Tuesday at a
meeting of stockholders when
proxies were voted representing
more than two-thirds Of the stock
holders. Nineteen new directors
were elected at the meeting, sup
planting all former directors, and a
meeting has been called for March
Is. at which the reorganization plans
will be completed, it is said. The am
nual report which was presented at
Tuesdays meeting showed that while
the cOmpany's gross income was
greatly increased from that for
1917 heavy advances in costs Of fuel,
labor and supplies resulted in re-
porting a deficit for the year.

Animal Trainer Escapes With Life,
While Hundreds See Battle.


Bristol, Pa, May 26-While several
hundred persons screamed in terror,
John Martin, wild animal trainer,
battled despartely for his life with an
infuriated lion in steel cage in which
the animals were being put through
an exhibition at a carnival here.
Martin. through remarkable cool
ness, finally escaped, after practically
every stitch of his clothing had been
torn off.
One of group of six lions which
Martin exhibits daily had been sulky
for several days. While the trainers
attention was mOmentarily attracted
elsewhere, it sprang upon him from
the rear, bearing him to the floor of
the cage and clawing desperately at
his face and shoulders In the close
embrace the trainer could not use his
whip, but finally managed to draw his
pistol, which contained only blanks,
and fired several shots close to the
lions face.
For a moment it relaxed its clutch,
and the trainer managed 10 free him
self and get out of the cage. He suf-
fered from number of cuts. none of
which is of a serious character, how
ever Spectators sat in terror during
the struggle, which lasted for several
minutes.

Ultimate Questions
About Currency

have been at pains to enforce this
idea, and the Russian illustration of it.
for very simple reason, which I may
set out IN these propositions:

inmate relation between money and
prices, what earthly objection is there
against the freest issue of Fat"
money? Why should any government
bother about stable" currency :?
What is STABLE" or "sound' cur

money, as in Russia. does have q baie-

structive lesson in modern
finance since our own Civil War
is now unrolling itself in the land OF
the Bolshevik. Advices from Moscow
announce that the Central Soviet of
Russia has now suppressed the cir
cNlation of money and mas substituted
work k-coupons" for it, This was after
Russia had been so flooded with issues
OF paper money that they had practi-
cally ceased 10 have any value, just
as was the case with ;he Confederate
currency as the Civil War was closing.
When the world war opened every
paper rubc was backed by an equal
amount of gold. The Russian Imperial
Bank held the second largest stock of
gold in the world. Instead of covering
tho wars expenses by taxes and the
issue of bonds, the Cars government
made up the enormous deficits by keep
ing the printing presses running. AS
the volume of paper rubles went up,
month by month, their value went
down. And it was the disturbance or
values and the fall in the currency
that had as much as anything to do
with the downfall Of the imperial re
gime

Conditions in the bond market
were not as satisfactory at the
close of the week as had been hoped
for. 1t was reported that the large
amount of new corporate financing
Of recent weeks had glutted the
market and that until the new secu-
rites have been digested and we'll
distributed not much Improvement
could be expected. AS a matter Of
fact, III one or two cases, prof. jected
corporate financing has been post
poned temporarily until conditions
/. in the investment market improve.
Liberty Loan bonds developed an
/ interesting market during the week,
when the first and second 4s ad-
vanced sharply for time, owing to
the proposal of Secretary Of the
Treasury Glass to reopen the con-
version privilege, thus permitting
holders of these issues who failed
to exercise the option which eX-
pired by limitation in November to
convert into a 14s. There are more
than billion dollars worth of the
first and second As which remain
unconverted. Definite announce
ment was made by the Secretary
that the fifth government war loan,
TO be known as the "Victory Loan"
will be offered early in April. AS
yet the details have not been de-
termined upon, although it has been
intimated that the new loan will
bear higher rate of interest than
the preceding issues, probably AZ
or AZ per cent, with compara-
lively short maturity. Foreign gov
ernment financing in this market is
believed to be imminent, and it is
not improbable that Great Britain

There has been. there exists, an

be put in the "greenback" or "fiatist'

steadfastly denied that $4,000, 600 or

wars scarcity values which skied the
cost of living and made the 1918 dol
lar" the equivalent of 60 cents in 1914.
And this belief seemed shared by our
Federal Reserve Board. created to
establish "stable" banking and cur

Men of this type of thought, bankers
and business men, are now sitting pa
tiently awaiting the prompt return Of

10-cent cotton, and

12-cent copper, and

Wherein Check Money
Was Different

1t was said above that this paper
money, this check money, was issued in
practically unlimited and uncontrolled
amounts. That was not quite true.
Against these checks there had to be
banking fiction called deposits: And
these deposits, in turn, had to be Gre
ated largely by bank loans. And
these bank loans had practical limit
in the amount of gold or lawful re
serves which the banks held. While
this vast issue Of checks seemed so un-
controlled and unrcstrained, as mat
ter of fact it was very much tike a
captive balloon-the volume could rise
only 10 certain height
In reality, this form Of currency was
more or less actually fixed by the bank
ing laws and banking customs of the
Of gold end lawful money. That is why
we could seemingly give the right to
millions OF people to call into exist
ence monstrous sums of real currency,
and yet not have the currency system
of the country go to pieces aud prices
rise to the skies. just as has happened
in Russia. But it was a real creation
of money, and its degree had the same
effect.
Lest this should seem to any one
somewhat fanciful, consider what
WOulU nave DeCn LNe result II Ine DnukS
in making loans had issued to borrow
ers actual banl.notcs. Just as they used
to do in the old days before the check
system came into general use. Then,
instead of merely deposit" upon the
bank ledgers, each borrower would
have carried away with lin what might
be slangily termed a correspondingly
amount of the real stuff" If during
the war the banks had actually issued
the same number of billions of new and
real" banknotes as they created
through expanding loans and the cor
responding expansion of bank deposits,
does anybody doubt that it would have
had just as much an effect upon the
business of the country and upon
prices as if it had been gold or new
the expanded bank credits did haveo
