Civil War Prices

Prices acquired the climbing habit in the Civil war as we'll as in the Great war;" states Ralph R. Perry, in The Home Sector the ex-soldierS weekly conducted by the former editorial coun- cil of the Stars and Stripes. "The loss of men in agricultural communities de- creased the supply of food, which rose to new high levels and remained high until long after the war;
 He continues: Tn order to finance its expenditures the government issued large amounts of paper money. This re- suited in premium on gold as early as 1862, and did much to increase the cost of living. Metal money disappeared in favor of greenbacks and shin-plasters Small change was so scarce that for short time postage stamps were used to take it's place. One old New Yorker says his most vivid memory of war con ditions is of the night he stood on the crowded platform of horse car in the driving rain-and there were no vesti- bules in those days-and pulled gummed postage stamps out of damp pocket one by one to pay his fare.
 Yet, in spite of depreciated currency and many inconvenience, 1s63-64 are re- membered as prosperous years. Prices

at a COS OF $50O;S0C.O 900, have been
built in the United States, was the
estimate of DR.. r. w. Peach of New

While we heartily agree with DR..
Peach in urging church union, the
time has passed when his estimate of
material wastes could anybody.
In comparison with the $50, eco, O00,-
900 expended upon the val by the
United States alone, a mere half bill
lion put into unnecessary churches
does no sound sensational. Besides
there is not always economic waste
when a church has given up the ghost.
The building can usually be sold.
h worst waste is not faced when
the church fails and is discontinued,
! but when it keeps on year after in
mere denominational obstinacy, with a
driblet congregation and an undcrfed
minister, in ru!nous spiritual competi-
ton with half a dozen others as poor

half dozen %starveling churches could

the best building for union services,
and pay one clergyman at least q

ton Of dignity and power. the com.
munity church might be made so fine
an institution that the relatively
trihing material loss in needless build

London March 1.-(Delayed.)-
Chaotic conditions in the wake Of
General Denikine's army as It re-
treated in South Russia before the
Bolshevik are vividly described by a
non.commissioned officer with the
British expeditionary forces. The
British soldier had been as far north
as Taganros, on the gulf OF Tagan-
ROC, an arm OF the 9 Of Asov.
Never have I seen or participated
in such a scramble in my life" the
soldier wrote in a letter to the Daily
News, telling Of the flight. I'VE were
lucky to get away at all; and: the
worst feature Of the whole business
was that the townspeople of Tagan-
rog turned Bolshevik to a man at the
finish. They looted everything, even
taking away the switch boards from,
the telephone room at great head
quarters.
"At Rostov things were worse.
The engine drivers had to be bribed
with rum and food and to proceed
further down the lire. The streets of
Rostoy we're swept by hailstorms of
