u. S. Mint Melts
Silver Dollars

The government has resumed melting
silver dollars to furnish bullion for
subsidiary coinage, says the Boston
News Bureau.
Daily treasury statement the in.tt
rev days has shown g decrease in nvm
Der or free dollars held as assets Di-
rector Baker, asked whethc- the Sc Cal.
lars had been sold or If they wers be-
in'c melted said: "r'he dollars are be-
ing melted. Under the Pittman act
about 26O,oOO.O00 silver dollars were
| melted down and sold to Great Britain.
These MEETINGS ended last May. There
has now been allocated to me 10000
600 of the free silver dollars in the
treasury and these are being melte,,
at the Philadelphia mint for subsIdi-
airy coinage. So far as price is con-
cerned, it was merely bookkeeping
matter.
The $1O.000,000 will meet all de-
mands for the time being If we
need more we can ask for additional
dollars to be melted There is an e.
normous demand for coinage. All the
mints are working twenty-four hours
a day and even then are unable to
cope with demand.
Asked whether the government
planned to prevent further increase In
the price of silver beyond parity point
of subsidiary coinage, Director Baker
replied d"There is no legislation in mind
at present. The Federal reserve board
has made arrangements to use free sill

Prospectors Get
Free instruction

A class In scientific prospecting abs
been enrolled at the Denver Opportu-
'ity school for a period of twelve
mineral deposits.
The fact that the old time and
picturesque prospector is becoming
extinct in many parts of the west
lends strength to the belief that lat
ter-day and perhaps more scientific
oiass-suf 5rospect6rs must be produced
if the Rocky Mountain section is to
live and continue in development
The Colorado Development associa-
ton, local organization, and the
Manufacturers association are be-
hind the move.
The purpose of the class which is
open to both men and women. is to
fit the embryo prospector for locating g
and opening veins or deposits of ore.
1t is the belief of the hackers of the
enterprise that many valuable deposits
of minerals in Colorado, Nevada and
other adjacent states might be located
| if the number of prospectors was
greater, and there are said to be many
business firms and strong financial
houses that would be willing to fl
nance prospecting parties If they
could depend on the mans ability
without having to hire mineralogists
| The prospecting class intends to
make expeditions into the mountain!
and get first hand information as tC
the most modern means of detectine
ore deposits.

The Growth Of Grammar

In the days of Chaucer there were
undoubtedly differences among writer's
which made their grammar and spelling
seem singular to us; yet crude though
they were, the art Of literary compost
tion was we'll advanced.
That, however, was not the greatest
age; it came in the Elizabethan period;
and while the literary peculiarities Of
Shakespeare style were strongly de-
fined, it could not be said in any sense
that they revealed lack of knowledge
in either grammar or spelling, the
standards of that day being suited to
the culture of the time.
And a great advance had been made
over the days of Chaucer. In the days
of Addison. Johnson, Swift, Congreve
and Goldsmith we find great advance
with more unity in both grammar and
spelling.
The authorized version of the Bible
in the line of literary workmanship
noted the greatest advance Of all and
reached point which has not been
surpassed if, indeed, equalled
There was a certain latitude in SPELL
ing, it is true, to which we to-day look
back with interested curiosity; but
even that was not the result of igno-
rance, but rather of custom, which
allowed the latitude, and it was in no
sense literary difiguremcnt.-C Christ

no one knows. Among those impris-
oned are the Grand Dukes Scrgius,
Constantine. Paul Alexander and the
literary Grand Duke Nicholas Arrests
are made at the sweet will of any
Soviet delegates or group of soldiers.
"All the spies of the old imperial
regime are now in Trotzky's service,
along with new and diabolically ef
access to him. Denunciations by tele
phone are very common. An anony
nous person rings up the Garochovaia
and declares that a given individual is
an enemy of the Soviet, and the name
is entered in q book for arrest imme
diately. The families of those arrested,

Lenine in Luxury
"While torture is consolidating his
regime, Trotzky, who is much more
the dominating factor than Lenine, is
living in luxury, guarded by Chinese
and Lettish troops at Moscow, in the
Krem]n. He frequently takes jour
neys. however, in his special train
which an officer who recently saw it
described to me as being composed of
fifteen carriages.
"As he may in the course of a jour
ney have to live in the train, one car
riage is piled with flour bags, another
with all manner of other provisions.
In the centre is saloon-car-wherc he
receives visitors-and also his sleep
ing-car. Both are the exCzar's cars
and are maintained in the utmost mag
nificence. Trucks are run at each end
and sometimes in the centre of tho
train, on which are mounted light ar
tillery and machine guns manned by
Chinese and Let's.
"There are two engines, each carry
ing guard with a machine gun. The
remaining carriages hold Trotzky's
! suite and more Chinese Pr9torians.
The train is also used by Lenine and
zinovief, Trotzky's viceroy at Petro
grad.
"The nephew of an ex-Russian Am
bassador to Great Britain told me yes
terday that he escaped only three
weeks ago from near Petrograd, and
that during, his dangerous journey he
met brother officers. shaken men with
cut any nerves, who told him that
comrades of theirs had been stripped,
hung head downwards from trees, and
that Trotzky's tiends had then begun TO
fay them alive. This occurred near the
town of Pskoff.

the specifications. but Commissioner
Hancock stated, prior to the meeting.
that he had found his printer had not

for errors and then placed before the
commission for final approval. This
cannot be completed for several days,

NIPPED HUN SPY PLOT
Germans Planned To Have Agent in
| Every U. S. Division.

Washington, Junes 17.-Germany's
plan to place a spy with every unit of
the American army failed chiefly be-
cause of the prompt action of the de-
partment of justice in arresting and in
terning German aliens, the senate mill
itary committee was told by Brig. Gen.
Marlborough Churchill. chief of the
department of military intelligence.
The officer said United States agents
had been sent into Germany thru The
Hague and other points as well as d.
rectly thru the German lines. The
army received much valuable informa-
ton from them, he added. President
Wilson and the state department, he
testified, were kept informed by the
service of the breaking of the morale
of the German people just before the
armistice.
General Churchill told of hunting
down German agents and said a spe-
cial study of Bolsheyism in this coun-
try had been made. He furnished a
map showing Bolsheviki assembly
points in New York and Brooklyn.
