SAYS REMEDY.
Continued from page y

Governor Harding reviews the de-
velopments of the rre-war period and
their effect upon credits and prices.
including the heavy purchases in this
country by the European belligerents
which led to the shipment to this
country of large amounts of gold. He
mentions also the tremendous in
crease in bank deposits. a gain of
nearly $4,000. 100000, between the
beginning OF the war and June, 1918,
the latest date for which complete
figures are available.
He mentions, too, the increase of
the public debt BY s24,5ls,0S4,s40 up
to August /, 1919. and tells of the net
decrease in circulation since Deem
Der l. 1918, which amounts to $685.
0s5. 900. or s297 per capita.
Higher wages, ignorant distrust OF
banks, the amount of money taken
out or the country by emigranss and
the adoption of United States cur
rency by our dependencies and by
some OF the nations to the south of
US are given as reasons for the
amount of money in circulation. OF
the increased volume of federal re-
serve notes in circulation Governor
Harding says that. aside from the in
crease due to exchanges for gold and
gold certificates which have been
Withdrawn from circulation, II Is the
effect, rather than the cause of ad-
vancing wages and prices.
Rising prices are attributed by the
board to relaxation of the economical
measures which were observed by the
people while the war was in progress
and the diversion of labor to the
manufacture Of so-called luxries.
The remedy for the present
situation, says the board is ito
work and to save: TO work regu-
larly and efficiently in order TO
produce and distribute the larg-
est possible volume of commodi-
ties; and to exercise reasonable
economies in order that money,
good and services may be devoted
primarily to the liquidation of
debt and to the satisfaction Of
the demand for necessities, rather
than to Indulgence in extrave-
ance or the qualification OF de-
sire for luxuries.
The war is over--in a military
sense-and. while the bills have been
settled by loans to the government,
these obligations. Sc far as they are
carried by the banks, must be alb
sorbed before the war chapter of the
financial history OF the country can
be closed

GOR1LLAS TOO SOFT HEARTED

Baltimore, Md. Aug. l0.--Goril-

as domestic servants IN this country,

African hunter. now a resident of this

vanced by Professor Garner, and
other naturalists. that the giant apes
might be brought here and trained to

Mr.. Dackhaus says training OF

cause. when transplanted from their
