The movement made in the Quar-
terly County Court last Monday to
secure an expert accountant to audit
the books of all county officials COW
ering the period of the last five years,
is one to which nobody objects so far
as we know-eXcept as to the cost
these knowing ones" who make fig
uring speciality, come high in price.
However, the cost being limited to
$4,000, its payment will not bank
rupt the county, The Progress man,
following the action of the County
court, made it his business to inter-
view the various present incumbents
of the offices, and all state that they
are ready to have their official af-
fairs investigated without warming
while some added that they would be
wiling to personally pay the expense
of the investigation, while the auditor
is working on anything found not
sssrsst in their offices, The officers
interviewed made the statement that
they were ready at any time, without
warning, for anybody, with or with
out pay, to make any investigation
they might see fit, 1t is due the
Superintendent of Schools to state
that he is not included in the official
interviewed but we understand that
on last Monday he was called upon to
make an explanation, which he did
and following which the court took
no action. Superintendent Holmes is
an efficient man and has the bsst
wishes of this office.

Postage Stamps Used
For Coins i'm France
Restaurants to Give Change in
Paper Because of Silver
Shortage

PARIS, Oct. 20 (By The Associated
Press 1.-The disappearance of silver
money from circulation has resulted
IN such shortage of small Change that
many restaurants in Paris posted no
tees to-day that customers must make
their own change or accept postage
stamps In place of silver.
At one time there appeared in "Lo
Journal Ohiciel" new law providing
a penalty of from ten days to six
months Imprisonment and fine of
from 100 to 5000 francs for persons
convicted of melting. recasting or
otherwise demonctizing French specie
To these penalties was added confisca-
ton of any metal seized.
The disappearance of silver is vari-
ously explained. A prominent banker
said to-day that the principal cause was
the fact that the metal in silver coins
is worth more thnn the face value of
the coin, making it profitable for peo-
pie using silver in the arts and indus
tries to melt coin instead of buying
silver in bars. Explanation is the
tendency of peasants to accumulate
silver in bars. Another explanation is
the tendency of peasants to accumu-
late silver, as formerly they did gold
when gold WIS in circulation A ma
iority of the authorities, however, arc
of the opinion that speculation and the
use Of silver money for industrial pun
poses are the principal causes OF the
shortage.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O.-The bodies

Luxembourg and North Russia are to
be brought to this country for rein
terment, regardless of whether rela-
tives have made any request The di-
rector of purchase and storage Of the

to return the bodies. A special force Of
officers and men will perform the task.
A War Department statement said the
steps are to be undertaken at once
without waiting on the action of the
French government with respect to the
dead in France"
ut is expected that the friends Of
the dead will be comforted by the an
nouncement that the movement has
been determined upon, and that they
Will be willing to accord such time for
its completion as may be required to

statement continues "All bodies from
United States, if thev have not already
been rcinterred in France.
"France has been purposely omitted
The problem in that country assumes
an international aspect, the determine

neither Controller Travis nor any men,
ber Of his staff would venture a guess
as to the amount of the tax the state
might endeavor to collect. AS the tax
on estates transferred is graduated ac-
cording to the amount of the estate,
and as the extent of the Astor holdings
in this state is not definitely known,
all that the lawyers in Controller
Travs's Office would say was that if
the estate within the jurisdiction of
the Controller amounted to as much as
$50 000, 900 or $50, 100000. the tax mi ght
reach more than $5,00O,0OO.

would be necessary to prove that the

sons was made in contemplation Of

"The appeal taken by decedent's
