Chicago Soldier Gives Thrilling
Picture of Skirmishes in
Near East.
YANK DRIVERS NOT MOLESTED
Trucks Driven by Natives and Guard
ed by Turk Gendarmes Are Held
Up and Looted-No Luxury
in Near East

New York.-A tale of exciting skir-
mishes with marauding bands of Turks
and Kurds in Armenia is told by Il
Chicago soldier, w. A. Brown.
Browns adventures In the near East
were experienced while he was Red
Gross worker in company with Ameri-
can boys from Philadelphia and Louis
vile, with whom he volunteered for
near East relief service after the ar
mistice. The job of these young men
was to get the supplies to the starv-
ing villages in the mountainous inte-
rior and they found truck driving in
that stricken land filed with excite
ment.
"Brigands are numerous" said
Brown, but uniforms commanded re-
spect, although we always went un-
armed. Trucks driven by native
drivers however, were held up and
looted. They We're supposed to be
guarded by Turk gendarmes, but the
gendarmes themselves did their bit at
stealing. Our conveys with American
drivers were never molested, although
we could see the armed brigands on
the hills watching us.

opened owing to the prohibitive costs
of retimbering and unwatering.
Cripple Greek, the greatest Ameri-
can gold camp, is taking on the ap.
pearance of a city of dead hopes.
Whole cities are being deserted and
thousands of skilled miners are being
forced to seek new camps because
gold-the basic monetary metal of the
United States-cannot longer be pro
duced at profit.
Jewellers Make Millions.
The manufacturers of the United
States used $21, ,S4s,SOO more gold last
year than was produced in the United
States. The gold producer lost mil
lions during the year. The manufac-
turing jeweler made millions because,
while his goods mounted In values, he
secured the gold at coinage price of
S2O.67 per ounce, less than the cost
of production. Seventy-five years ago
the world produced but $3O,OOO,OOO in
gold per year. In 1915 the world pro-
duced S469, 100000.
The gold stock of the United States
suffered loss in 1910 Of $292, ,796, 600
by the excess gold exports over i'm
ports. The government has allowed
vast shipments of gold for export.
Meanwhile the production of the Amer
lean mines has fallen from $1O1 ,OOO,-
600 in 1915 to S5s.50O,OOO in 1919, n
loss Of AZ per cent.
At the beginning of the war, Eng
land arranged protection for all of
the gold produced by British mines.
This protection is still maintained and
the gold reserves Of England are be.
ing increased by imports from the
United States and their own heavy
production of new gold.

Lowers Purchasing Power.
The expansion of the national credit
has lowered the purchasing power of
dollar through increasing all COM
modify prices. Based upon the pre-
war prices of 1913, these prices grad
ually advanced from 100 per cent in
1913 to 223 in October, 1919. Each in
crease in credits has been absorbed
by corresponding increase in COM
modify prices and has resulted in
placing the nation upon an artificial

finds the purchasing power Of his

GIVEN NAME BY FRANKLIN
suited In Currents Becoming
Known as Gulf Stream.

The Gulf stream, which was discov-
cred by Ponce de Leon while on his
famous search for the fountain of
youth, received its name through a
suggestion of Benjamin Franklin, be-
cause it issued from the Gulf of Mex
leo. While it is only a part of the
grand scheme of ocean circulation, and
the Gulf of Mexico is in reality only
a stopping place. this name is general
ly applied to the current now as it
was given by Franklin.
Franklin's theory Of the cause of
ocean currents, the Detroit News re-
marks. was that the winds produce the
current by air moving over the surface
of the water, and thus illustrated his
theory: ''It is known that large
piece of water, ten miles broad and
generally only three feet deep, has by
a strong wind had it's water driven
to one side and sustained so as to be-
come six feet deep, while the wind
ward side was laid dry"
1t has been found, however, that
the water entering the Caribbean as
n result of the trade winds is not mora
than one-half the amount which flows
through the Straits of Florida from
the Gulf of Mexico, and the other half
is supplied from source which does
not come under the head of meas
urable current. The waves caused by
the wind is the other source, every
ripple carrying certain amount of
water In the direction toward which
1t is flowing, irrespective of the cur
rent caused by Its friction. When the
waves become large, tons Of water are
hurled from the crest into the trough
every time the waves break.

The Turks aided them in taking what
ever property belonging to non-Mos
lens that they could.
There is no luxury in the near East
relief work. We roughed it and made
the best of things. When we made
our stations we got our meals. Other
wise we camped out or went to the
alleged hotels they call khans. An
other good name would be stables, for
the guests slept in straw-lined hunks
along the walls while cows and horses,
donkeys and mules had the center of
the floor.
For food there was the common
bowl of yort, mixture of maize or
wheat and some kind of sour milk.
Sometimes there is meat, but not
often"
All three youths agreed that but for
the work of the near East relief hun
dreds of thousands more of the vic
tins of the Turks would have perish
ed. The one hope now of the help
less people is continued help from the
American people.

TRAVELLING ON THE I. p. IN 1875.
Folder of Old Days Shows Interesting
Features of Railway Traffic.

The eastern traveller. or the middle
westerner of today, who contemplates
a trip to the Pacific coast this winter,
and who may decide to stop over on
the way back next spring to visit some
of the noted national parks in the
Rockies, is not up against the same
sort of a proposition as were the pio-
neers in that line of travel in 1875.
A local employe of the Union Pacific
has unearthed an interesting bit of
literature in the form of a time card
issued by the Union Pacific in 1875,
which had not long been completed as
trancontinental railway.
The passenger of today would hard
ly think of going to Panama by
boat. crossing the isthmus overland.
and then sailing up the coast of Cali
fornia to San Francisco, if he meant
TO take a little jaunt to the coast.
But the traveller of 1875 had to be
coaxed by the railroad officials to take
the railroad across the Great Ameri-
can Desert and thru the Rocky
mountains rather than go to the 18TH
mus by sailing vessel.
Across the top of the folder was

THEY GO SOUTH IN WINTER.
Mexicans On Trip This Year Do No
Take Women With Them.

What's doing in Mexico? Rather,
what's going to be doing there? Pas
senger men of the railroads which
lead to the south from Topeka, are
wondering, because of the unusual
nature of the annual southern hegira
of the Mexican.
The little brown brothers go south
every winter as a matter of course,
but they are doing it a little differ
emily this year. They are leaving the
women behind.
The Mexican section hand, like the
Mexican soldier, likes to have his
better half and the babies along when
he goes anywhere, whether it be to
another job, or to battle.
The cunning labor agents of the
railroads discovered this fact long ago,
hence the provisions for the families
scattered along the right of way.
During the Mexican troubles much
stress has been laid by the war cor
respondents on the fact that the Mex
lean soldad likes to have the wife and
the Riddles on the top of the freight
car which transports him.
But this winter the section men are
leaving their families behind. They
are taking the trains which go to the
border, in even larger gangs than
usual but the women who usually
make up a large part of the per-
sonnet are missing.
How come? Is there going to be
another war with a complete change
of tactics, and do the Mexicans mean
to leave their families in Kansas? Or
Is the Mexican purse of 1920 too slim
to permit anyone but the head of the
family to go south for the winter?
There is something doing, but the rail-
road men haven't yet figured out
whether it is at this end of the line
or the other.
