friendly neighbor Germany dis
solved the Rada-the first Ukrain-
ian assembly. The term republic
was substituted by "Derzshava,"
which means empire. And the
money originally ordered by the re-
public and bearing that terrible
name was coming from the printer.
1t had to be accepted and couldn't
be used. The shipment had to be
accepted and stored and new money
ordered. Money was so scarce that
people paid five and ten per cent
for ordinary change. You could not
get change for even a twenty
ruble note. To supply the demand
some people went into the import
ing business and some into the job
bing. 1t was very profitable to i'm
port currency from Bolshevik Rus
sia, or buy it from the scab print
ers. They were buying Kerensky
money by the "arshine" and Ukrain-
ian notes by the dozen-at reduced
prices, of course In fact, the busi-
ness became so farreaching that it
became necessary once for the CEN
tral government of Kiev to send a
trainful of special policemen to ar
rest half the police department of
Odessa, which also was engaged in
this profitable business.
But the Russians don't care.
What's money to them, when they
have tons of it? No matter what
money is printed, and how much of
it is printed, it all very soon disap-
pears into the spacious pockets
of the peasants. 1t is true that the

but he could not tell what had be-
come Of the money O'Mahony had
collected. He said he had received
only $4,000 of the money the Irish
in America had contributed to free
their native land.
After a considerable delay there
was an audit of OMahony's accounts
which showed collections from all
sources of S165, 900 and accounted
legitimately for the expenditure of
the entire sum. What portion Of
the money came from the sale of
bonds was not specified. But the
Fenian Brotherhood settled the con-
troversy by holding another congress
and declaring the entire issue null
and void.
Eamon de Valera now says he in
tends to pay off that old repudiated
issue. He declares it to be his pur-
pose to redeem the repudiated bonds
of the former republic with part of
the proceeds of the new issue Of
$5,000,000 of Irish Republic" bonds
he intends to put out. There are
plenty Of the old bonds lying around
in various places and, perhaps, the
amount that O'Mahony sold may be
determined when de Valera comes to
pay them off.

about accepting the new money.
They would rather take the Gear
sky money. An order was then
issued announcing a date in Febru-
airy, 1919, after which date no other
but the new Ukrainian money was
to be accepted as legal tender. And,
Furthermore, whatever "Czarsky"
or any other kind of money any one
had, it was to be exchanged for the
new Ukrainian money. And the
money thus received, said to be more
than two hundred millions of it,
may be found on the exchanges of
Europe or America.
But the Ukrainians certainly had
a difficult job breaking into the
business-the money printing busi-
ness. They had had no previous ex
perlence and no one to teach them
the Germans came much later. At
first they could not get any paper
good enough, nor printers expert
enced enough to work for them. The
paper tore easily, the colors were
not steady. and the printers forgot
to put serial numbers on the bills.
Not single bill had serial num-
ber, not even the Hundreds" Of
course, it tempted the non-union
printers and they started the same
business. Competition was keen, and
the scabs were taking the upper
hand. They gave better quality
money-much cheaper. The coun
terfeit money was better made and
more plentiful, with the result that
the government bank had more of
that money than of their own print

weary of his money. He'd rather
trade food for goods of any sort.
But he finds nothing in the city to
trade for-there is nothing to buy
or trade for. Yet they still accept
money in the market place. The
peasants accumulated more paper
money than can be estimated. They
tell about an incident which took
place in government Office, where
a poorly dressed peasant woman
came to exchange some of her money
for new. The story is probably true.
The woman had all her money in a
large earthen pot hidden in cellar.
Rats or mice tried to eat it, but only
spoiled it, spoiled the bills beyond
recognition, rendering them un-
changeable. The woman wept and
some of the bystanders consoled her.
Then one Of the people asked her
how much money she had in the pot,
and she answered that she did not
i;now-she couldn't count. There
were three pounds of it, she said.
She had weighed it!

afe people who have liking for
the ruble. Indeed, a good many
even have faith in it's future value.
When the old monarchy was over

became an uncertainty, the Russian
people became even more attached
to the old-time currency and began
to hoard it the same as they did with
gold and silver earlier in the war.
Even while the Gar was vet in

and stamps were printed to substi-

three kopeck copper pieces.

Russia. But SO are the stamps little
