The above rates express the cost Of
foreign money in terms of the Amcri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling, say, at S4.5S. The intrinsic
parity is $4.SG9s per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at a premium,
which is owing to the fact that in Eng
land the demand for dollars with which
to settle accounts in this country is
greater than the demand in this coun-
try for pounds with. which to settle
accounts in England

HUNS FEAR NEGROES
Offer Reward for Each CoIoreG

Now Attract Great Attention In Occu.
pied Sections Of
Germany.

With the American Army Of Occu-
patton. Wherever American negroes
have appeared in the area occupied by
the Americans they have attracted
great attention among the civilians.
In Ireves, COblenz and other places,
during the early days ot the occupa-
ton, crowds assembled wherever any
negro soldiers stopped in the streets,
and it was necessary for the military
police to enforce the orders prohibit
ing gatherings in the public thorough
fares. Even yet in CObenZ and Treves,
where there are number of negro
soldiers, the negroes attract crowds Of
German children every time they ap-
pear in the streets
The German soldier also regards the
negro with great curiosity. According
to discharged German soldier in
Rengsdorf, the German army, early IN
the war, offered reward of 400
marks for the capture alive of each
negro. The discharged German soldier
said that throughout the war German
soldiers lived in great fear. and even
terror, Of the negroes and it was in
order to overcome this fear that re-
wards were offered.
One evening on the front scout g
party, consisting of ten Germans, in
Guiding the discharged soldier, encoun.
tered two French negroes. In a fight
which followed one of the negroes es-
capped, the other being taken prisoner
In the fight two of the Germans left
their comrades and ran to the prOtec-
ton of their own trenches, but these,
1t was explained, were young soldiers
marks subsequently was divided
among the remaining six Germans for
capturing the French negro.

The conception of the past and the

of a little boy who said to his mother

that babies cannot speak until they

because they come straight from heav-

let them speak until they have almost
