Revived for Petty
Thieves In England

London, March 6.-Ancient Brit
ish law has been revived BY London
justices in dealing with burglars
and petty criminals
Lashes on the bare back with the
cat-o-nine-t2ils used to be a favor
ite sentence, but in modern times it
has practically been abandoned.
Alarmed at the rapid spread of
crime, however, Justice Horridge
revived the oldtime law and SEM

Burglary in England is a pro-

Messages From Mars

By ABBE THEODORE MoREUx
Paris, March 6.-The mysterious
messages caught from time to time
at the great wireless receiving sta
.~tions of the world, and which some
scientists. notably the inventor GU
plielmo Marconi, have recently in
terpreted as messages from the in

originate in the sun. Figuratively
speaking, they are the faint echo OF
the immense gaseous eruptions OBJ
served periodically in the great stlr.
It is known that luminous bodies
have the property Of repelling very
minute particles of matter. During
the frequent solar eruptions OBJ
served by astronomers incredible bill
lions of such infinitely small parti-
cles arc shot out into space, the
titanic force of the eruption alone
scattering them to a height OF $780,
600 miles above the suns surface. AT
this point the particles come under
the repelling force of the suns light

i" "Moonshiner's" Watch
ConviCts Him in Court

Gadsden, Ala, March GA fine
gold watch, ticking incessantly
"moonshine, moonshine, moon
shine" was disowned in federal
court here. The watch was found
by federal agents in a pair of over
alls which hung close to a moon
shine still that they raided. Two
men fled to the woods at the ap-
proach of the revenuers.
On the case were engraved ini-
tials corresponding to those OF
Minor Washburn, and, it was said,
on the back of it was a photo
graph Of Mrs. Washburn.
On the witness stand, however,
Washburn said that he never saw
the watch and certainly did not
own it. But the accusing talk of
the watch brought about his con-
yiction.

Washington, March 6.-The man
with an income of $1,000 is now act
ually drawing $3.50 worth of pur-
chasing power upon the basis of
dollar value in 1918. This fact is
brought out plainly in a statement
to congress by Harold N. Lawrie.
an economist, whose computations
have been the basis of the American
Mining congress.
He predicts even worse conditions
because of the gold situation. The
cost of producing standard ounce
of gold, he says, is greater today
than the amount which the standard
ounce brings at the mint, $20.67,
and gold mines Of the United States

By LORD REAvERDRooK.

London. March 6.-The policy 0
sending all the available gold il
Great Britain to the United States
is the only complete method Of pay
ing off British Indebtedness ant
equalizing the exchanges betweer
the two countries.
In this matter it is = fact that nc

Great Britain has gone into one
form or another OF imperishable

an immense reserve OF visible wealth
lies more or less hidden within the

does gold, but on the other hand, he
has been more wealthy. and, in con-
sequence, has spent more on adorn-

Peasants Stocking Hoards.
When France was put on the fin-
ancial rack in the disastrous Franco
German war OF 1871 she surprised
herself by the magnitude of her own
financial resources and by the i'm
mense hidden reserves which sprang
from every stocking and every mat
tress in the farmhouses and cot
tages of the "tirefess soil"
The Germans demanded $l,00O,-
100000 in cash on the top OF an
invasion as the price Of retiring-an
inch for $5-from the occupied ter
ritory. The idea OF Bismarck was
that the money could not be paid
for years, and that so long as It re-
mained unpaid France would be
helpless and hamstrung.
But the French peasant made a
supreme effort. All the little boards
were brought out and paid to the
bank of France, and turned over in
hard cash to the Germans.
The finance by which the French
treasury borrowed money abroad to
pay the rest of the debt was based
OH the same tremendous reserve.
Within l5~ months the whole sum
was paid.
Both Would Be Suited.
As a matter Of fact, the redress Of
the balance OF exchange would suit
the Americans just as we'll as, it
would suit the British. The ad-
verse balance of a little more than

Of exchange between the present
rate and normal only represents the
sum required by the international
hnanciers in order to square their
account.
The difficulty is not one Of profit
telling; it is one inevitably due to
the adverse weight of Britaip's
American debts. Let us Britohs,
then, make up our minds to do the
Obvious thing, and to do it prompt
