PAPER MONEY in
RUSSIA BY BALES
Bolshevist Issue Could Cir
die Earth Twice at
Equator
BUT IT'S NOT
WORTH MUCH

LONDON, Sept. i0.-lmaglne having
belt Of paper money two yards wide
and long enough to go around the
earth twice at the equator.
This helps 10 give some idea of the
amount OF paper money issued-hy the
Bolsneyiks during the first year and
a half Of their regime
The Soviet government Is now is
suing its money In notes of 5000 and
10000 r0ubles. because IL has so
greatly deprecated, that about the
only thing it is possible TO purchase
for 100 roubles Is a box Of matches
When it Is remembered that the
nomnalsyalue OF 400 roubles is $50,
some idea can be gained OF the tre-
mendous depreciation that has taken
place in Russian money.
Those who have recently arrived
here from Russia tell amusing, all
though, at the same time, pathetic,
stories about the difficulties which
the Russians are having with money.
IL sounds like a paradox but IL Is
fact that there is altogether too
much money in Russia just now
and tee many different kinds.
One OF the surprising facts Is that
the most valuable of all Russian
money al the present time is the
note issued by the government OF
the late Gar This money still re-
tains a fairly high value-as com
pared with the other money issues
and is eagerly sought for and hidden
away when obtained.
The next In value Is the 'Dum-
skiya." issued by the Duma right
after the revolution; Following that
Is the ''kerenski," issued by keren-
SKI This money Is very insignlh-
can't looking more like stamps than
real money. as 1T comes in large per-
forated sheets or 20 notes, each
valued at five roubles. The people
have long since ceased tearing of
one or two notes when they make a
purchase They hand out the whole
sheet and speak OF 1t as yard Of
kerenski.N
Money is being printed In Soviet
Russia in six different cities and
each day three milliards worth Of
roubles are printed. Even this is not
sufficiently to supply the many Soviet
Institutions and measurers are now
being taken to increase the daily
output to five miliards
The Bolsheviks are not al all en-
harrassed by the enormous amount Of
money with which they have flooded
the country on the other hand they
are printing millions Of ruhles every
day. and the consequent result is that
II Is daily becoming more and more
Nalueless.
Al the last session OF the Central
Executive Committee It was decided
to take measures toward the immedi-
a. establishment OF an exchange
system whereby goods would be ex.
changed TOT other goods or labor, anC
thns completely abolish money as
medium o. barter altogether

Washington.-Two important steps
have been taken TO free railways OF
the congestion which has restricted
industry and added TO the high cost
of living.
Operating officials were instructed
by the American Railway Association
to form local committees at each of
80 great junction points, whose duty
will be TO clear the gateways at once,
leaving out of the way side lines and
elimination of the basic causes OF
congestion for future consideration
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion announced it would recommend
allowing the railroads $125, ,000, 900 out
of the $300,00O,0OO revolving fund, for
the purchase of needed equipment.
Both actions will strike directly at
the heart of the trouble, but the lat
ter with no such immediate effect as
the former, because it will be several
months before the cash can be con-
verted into cars and locomotives. The
concentration of attack, through the
local committees on crowded juno
ton points, is expected to gain re-
suits much more eXpeditiously. than
