land itself in the first days of the war
had to resort to nat issue by the
Government. Gold, which was the
general medium of exchange aside
from the Bank of England notes, dis
appeared from circulation overnight.
The Bank of England had a rigidity in
its circulation that permitted no elias
ITCHY, and the Government was forced
to begin the printing Of fat notes be-
fore suitable paper could be found or
adequate plates engraved.
To-day the amount OF Government
notes outstanding in Great Britain
amounts to more than $1,000. 000,0 900.
Against this there Is held a special de-
post of gold amounting to f2s,500,00o
or roughly s140,000.000. theoretically
the notes are redeemable in gold. Prac-
tically the holder OF either these notes
or the notes OF the Bank of England
would be so closely questioned in re-
gard to the use he intended to make Of
the gold II he demanded their redemp-
ton in gold that their redemption
quality Is for the present a fiction. No
one Is permitted to export gold from
England without a Government license
and that license in fact is not granted.
A bank deposit in England is payable
only in Bank of England notes or the
Government currency notes, and as
these notes will not be redeemed In
gold on demand the pound sterling has
ceased to represent gold.
In France the sole national issue Of
circulating notes are those of the
Bank of France. The outstanding issue
of these notes Of the Bank Of France
has gone up from about six billion
francs before the war to over thirty
four billion, with the limit Of author
ization Just raised to thirty-nine
billion. The notes are at present ire
deemable and all gold has disappeared
from circulation.
| 1t is well to stop a moment and
translate these figures SO that our
minds can grasp their significance.
The circulation OF the Bank of France
now amounts roundly to six and half
billion dollars. France has a popula-
tion OF about 39.700.000. This gives an
average amount of circulation per
capita of roundly s1s6. Our own cir
culation is s6.ssS. zss. 900. or $54.s4 per
capita. France with Its 39.700.000 OF
people and Its area less than that OF

plicity itself, however, compared with
that in some of the nations on the
eastern front. After the armistice
Poland found itself poor in everything
but currency. There were in circula-

rubles issued under the old imperial
regime, counterfeits issued by Ger

representing a forced issue which Ger
many had compelled during her occu-
patton. and perhaps OF the least value
of all, Austrian crowns.
Here was a conglomeration OF notes
more intricate than anything Mr..
Paderewsh had ever tried to play.
But he has made an attempt TO
straighten out the complication by
issuing a new Polish currency and by
taking in the forced Polish issue. re-
turning half the notes stamped and
retaining the other half against an
issue of bonds, while the other cur
rency issues are being exchanged on
various terms for Polish obligations.
Serbia, Rumania, Czecho- Slovakia
had almost as complicated a currency
situation and have made heroic at
tempts to reduce the circulation by
calling In all existing issues, returning
part Of them stamped and issuing
funded obligations of the State to rep
resent the notes retired or carried In
the States treasury.
The Austrian note issue has become
so complicated and the gold reserve
so slight that the gold reserve repre-
sents three-eights OF per cent. OF the
circulation.
Another currency complication that
has added to the untold difficulties
is found in the Bolshevik attempt
to counterfeit successfully sterling
francs. pesetas, lire and marks. How
far this has gone no one knows

There are three main gates to
China: Manchuria, Shantung and Flu
Klein. The last, which is opposite the
Island of Formosa, lies in the
japanese zone of influence: Manchuria
is sparsely settled and Japan is as
sisting in it's development. With
Shantung the situation is very DIFF

A brief resume of the history OF
China since 1909 is necessary to get
an idea of what the peace treaty. in
tertwined with the League of Nations,
means to China. 1909 was the year Of
revolution. Then was the Yellow
Kingdom that has stood for ages d.
vided. In the south arose the Consti-
tutional Government. In the north
ruled what was called the Pekin Gov
eminent with Hsu-Shih Shang as
President, recognized by the Powers
whose legations were in Pekin.
After the demands Of Japan had
been settled In 1915 came a counter
revolution. President Yuan Shih-k'ai
aspired to become Emperor. and with
cember rs, 1915, tho revolutionary
leaders Of the Yun-nan province de-
clared their independence of Pekin
and were Joined by other provinces.
On June 6. 1916. President Yuan
died and Vice-President Ii Yuan
Hung, the hero of the first revolution,
succeeded. In the years 1916-1917
he was sincerely democratic. but a
group of militarists rallied under Gen.
Tuan Chi-kui (Premier), and the re-
lations of the Parliament and Presi-
dent became strained. The militarists
compelled Ii to dissolve the Parlia-
ment Of Pekin. Ii Yuan resigned and

the entrance into the war as a single
and indivisible republic.

money and munitions. and under Gen.

THE moral awakening of 100000

world its grandest spectacle. There

A Chaos of Currencfes.

An important factor contributing to
the present commercial disorganiza-

situation OF the currencies of the
various nations. The chaos in the
circulating medium is enough to make
Europe seem like an economic mad
house. The very fret days of the war
saw experiments In currencies by the
greatest countries which departed
from all experience and disregarded in
many cases all sound principles. Eng

Statements that conditions in
