RUSSIA BANKS
GOLD TO OPEN
TRADE CREDITS
200,000,00O Is Deposited in
Copenhagen Institutions by
Soviet Government.
COMMERCE IS LIMITED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The Russian
soviet government has just deposited two
hundred millions in gold with banks in
Copenhagen for the purpose of estab-
fishing trade credits with the United
States and other nations, according to
information received today By the State
Department from its agents abroad.
The only hope for a Russian COM
merce OF any volume. experts here assert,
lies in the possibility Of utilizing this
gold as a credit nucleus for a three
cornered trade by which Lenine may sell
his surplus wheat and raw materials to
Scandinavia and Great Britain and buy
American manufactured products with
the proceeds.
According to official reports to the de-
partment, Russia at present has prac-
ticaIly nothing in the way Of raw ma
terials which the United States needs.
She has some Siberian wheat, a small
quantity Of furs and bristles and a con-
siderable surplus Of fax. America has
no need Of Russian wheat and the fax
is not suitable for American manufacture.
American importers would be glad
enough to get the furs and bristles, but
the amount of these commodities is said
to be too small to form any consid-
cradle volume of trade.
If Russia is TO develop the trade to
which her vast natural resources entitle
her, experts say, she must permit for
eign capital to exploit her stores OF coal,
iron, oil, lumber and wood pulp. Owing
to the worldwide shortage of print pa
per, American capitalists are considering
with interest the possibilities of the wood
pulp industry in Russia. Basic oppOsi-
ton Of sovietism to capital of any kind
and especially to foreign capital, how
ever, has operated to discourage foreign
investment.

money was forbidden by official decree
OF the soviets Though the law of Rus
sio limits employment Of money to trans

sovists which differs but little from the
normal money exchange.
Lenine is reported to be experiencing
difficulty with this new medium Of ex-
change because Of a tendency on the part
Of sovieteers TO hoard and barter the

PARIS, (By Mail.)-As one of the
results of her part in the world war,
America has left Europe permanent

ture-a big American library in Paris.
First of its kind on this side Of the
Atlantic, this institution. built upon
the efforts of the American Library
association of the A. e. F.. officially
began life Jan. / when the war staff
which conducted the project for the
benefit of American soldiers in
France, turned the building over to
the new corps Of permanent librarians.
It then became rendezvous for
people of all nations wishing educa-
ton in American art, science and
literature and for Americans in Eu-
rope wanting to keep in contact with
the States" .r-,,
The venture has been financed by
American business firms and Ameri-
can residents in Paris. The American
Library association contributed the
chief librarian as it's share in prompt
ing closer intellectual union of the
new and old worlds. r....
The thousands of American tourists
due in France the next few years are
expected to make the library one of
their headquarters. 1t contains an i'm
mense collection of travel books, in
Guiding virtually every good book in
print dealing with continental coun-
tries, gathered together for the bene-
fit Of doughboys wanting to see Eu-
rope before going home.
The library is composite of all the
army libraries operated by the Ameri-
can Library association in France. 1t
comprises between $4,000 and 10000
volumes.
AS it is. the only place in Europe
where students can find a compare
lively complete array Of best Ameri-
can works, the staff believes it will
become an important center in the
European educational world.
The building is few PAGES from
the Champs Elysees, and directly
across the street from the presidents
palace.

Potter San Francisco, retiring chief
librarian. reports hundreds of French,

MUCH INTEREST
BEING SHOWN
Services at the Baptist Church are
Increasing in Popularity and
Congregations are Grow
ing Nightly.
TContributed.l


1t is the usual thing, when speak
ing of revival meetings. to say that
interest is growing" Sometimes
this statement is much like the
familiar saying, The operation was
successful, but the patient died"
That is, sometimes 1t is said the in
terest is growing, but congregations
are decreasing But this Is not true
of the meetings now being held in
the First Baptist church OF this city.
Both interest and congregations are
growing, the latter increasing from
twenty-five to forty percent !, each
evening. Those who started coming
first are sticking, and new faces are
seen every night. Some who have
been sick are beginning to come
back, and others expect to be back
by the last of the week. New mem
bers are also added to the chorus
choir every night. The special plat
form, put in for the choir, will have
to be- enlarged soon. or some other
plan found to accommodate the
singers.
The Rev. Harvey J.. Moore preach.
ed last night on the subject, "Hypo.
critics, in the Church and Out of it. y
He said that Christ hated hypocrites
above all other sinners, and that his
most scathing denunciations were
directed against them.
There are more hypocrites out.
side the church than inside" he de-
clared. Joining a church does not
create the obligation to do right
Every man is under obligation to be
square and straight in his dealings
and in all his personal relations.
Whoever pretends to be a man and
is not is hypocrite. Yet not every
man who Is inconsistent in his life
who makes mistakes, and sometimes
does wrong, whether In the church
or out, is to be branded q hypocrite,
the speaker continued. MANY fai
through weakness or because OF
overwhelming temptation, or on &C
count Of imperfect light None of us
in the church claims to be living &
perfect life. Only one perfect man
ever lived on earth, and they cruel
fed him."
IF anyone here thinks the church
is full of hypocrites." said. the Rev.
Mr.. Moore, suppose we make a bar
gain with some other city the size Of
Keokuk and offer to exchange all our
citizens who are church members for
all they have who are not church
members Who would get the best
of the bargain? The next time you
hear anyone say there are so many
hypocrites in the church, give him
pencil and paper and dare him to
write down their names and sign his
own to the statement that they are
hynocrifes IT Is cowaTdly to call
any man hypocrfte unless you can
prove it,"
Gods Barriers Against Sin" will
be the subject of the sermon tonight.
