SovIETs WORK OVERTIME.
The 700 per cent jump in paper mon
ey, too, is exclusive of the issues OF cur
rency by the bolshevik government OF
Russia, which has kept the printing
presses turning out shinplasters by the
bale. The situation is brought right
down to date by the statistical depart
ment of the National City bank of New
York, which has just issued world fig
ures to the beginning OF 1920. The tables
are illuminating.
When the war started in 1914 thirty
principal countries of the world had. III
round numbers, about $1,000, 900, 900 Of
paper currency. At the armistice it had
jumped to about $40,O00.0OO 900, or more
than five times as high. Since the arm
istice it has gone up to about sol 900,
100000. This is outside the S34 600
100000 which it is estimated. the boil
shevist government has industriously
turned out. The printing shops in which
the worlds governments print notes do
not seem to have been affected by the
paper shortage.
Gold Falls Behind.
Meanwhile, what was happening to the
gold reserves back of the notes in the
thirty countries? In 1914 they amount
ed. roughly to $4,000. 100000. They are
now about $1,000, 900 600 Notes have
thus increased more than 700 per cent
and gold less than 80 per cent
Back in 1914. the ratio of gold re-
serves to outstanding notes in the thirty
countries were 10 per cent. BY the
time of the armstice it had fallen to
1874 per cent. while last Christmas time
it had dropped still lower to 1871 PEI
cent.

developing under the surface a weaken

that soviets control most Of Russia and

Add to that fact the worldwide yearn-

matte dealings with the government OF
Lenine and Trotzky.
After so many months Of opposition
to the soviets it may seem strange that
our actual proposal of peace may be
made soon. The indications point to that
outcome as most likely.
A diplomat of one of the allied nations
said today that at the next conference

the allies are anxious to fix on q Russian

is well shown by an official system ISSUED

The Indications are therefore that the

Synthetic Vinegar and Acetic Ac

Synthetic Vinegar and Acetic Acid.
Acetlc acid is now used in great
quantities in making acetate of cell
lulose for airships. Before the war
this was obtained by distilling wood,
but 1t no longer suffices. A synthetic
way Of making acetic acid was dis
covered and now the price is much
lower than 1t used to be.
The process 10 simple; it calls for the
production Of acetic aldehyde by re-
action Of water with acetylene, and the
oxidation Of the aldehyde gives aeetic
acid.
Three French companies are now
using this process and La Nature says
they bid fair to drive the distillers Of
wood out Of the field, even planning to
produce q syBthctic vinegar that shall
be much cheaper than ths natural A.

HOLDING ITS OWN

-" HE EARTHQUAKE still con- one of the most awe inspiring of na- tural phenomena in a world where almost everything should inspire awe. Detailed reports, now coming from South America, show that the dis turbances of the eighth and ninth of December were the equal in, this re- spect, of any which have occurred in recent years. Only the fact that they occurred in sparsely settled regions prevented an appalling death list.
 With mountain peaks sinking and rivers changing their courses, it is small wonder that the poor Indians are spending their time praying to the volcano Villarica, which they worship and call the Bad Devil.''
 The centre of the disturbance seems to have been located at approximate ly Latitude 39.2O and Longitude 7141 West A large area sank from one to two feet several rivers changed their courses. one disappeared entirely and most wonderful of all, numbers of the peaks of the Andes settled on feet
 It certainly must be a remarkable experience to have familiar noun tains settle until others, impossible to see before, loom up in the back ground; to have the neighboring river suddenly disappear and leave only a
 " and empty canyon, while houses are bounced off their foundations to the accompaniment of roaring noises
