N AND ITS UNITS.

The people Of the United States are accustomed
to the use of the dollar for designating values.
Great Britain has the pound sterling, France the
franc, and each other country it's own particular
monetary unit. In the past, that is before the great
war, when international conditions were fairly sta
bic, the value of each of these several units was
based approximately on the gold which, it represent
ed, and an equation among all these elements exist
ed 50 that the money OF one country could with a
reasonable degree of ease.be translated into that of
another. Now all Of this is changed. During the
war the activity Of the printing presses exceeded
that OF the mines. More paper money was produc-|
ed than gold could be mined toserve as a basis for
It Consequently while throughout the world there
has been a general depreciation-of money, no mat
ter what unit was used to describe il, in some coun-
tries the value OF money has almost disappeared.
Russia IS the conspicuous example of this, and there
the money OF the country is of SO little value that
anything else is preferred to it. The ruble which
was at one time worth in exchange about fifty cents
has now a value of less than one one-thousandth Of
that amount where it can be said to have any value
at all There has been marked depreciation in
the value of the currency of all countries as COM
pared with that OF the United States. Here values
our people have suffered less than most others.
he disordered condition of exchange makes
the quotation Of foreign values in terms Of foreign
money almost worthless. We may read that bread.

COMMITTING AN OVERT AcT.

Friends of the I. /. w. and advocates Of its
methods will assert that the members of the mob
which entered Langdon and were placed under
guard and sent off on a return train have been dealt
with illegally because they were subjected to off
clal interference when they had committee no overt
act in violation Of the public peace. It would be
interesting to know just what some Of these people
an overt act. Ifall the demands Of the |.
w. w. were met there could be no such thing as an
a~rrest-until a mob had burned down the courthouse
or battered down the walls Of the Jail. And even then
it would be urged that these little demonstrations
We're not crimes, but merely the expression of the
political attitude of the persons involved, and, of
course, no one may be arrested for his political opin-
ions.
In the opinion Of most other people, however, it
is not necessary to wait for the actual commission
OF a crime before the public officials take notice. The
declaration Of purpose and the taking Of steps which
are obviously intended to carry out that purpose
give an act sufficient o~vertness to warrant whatever
= community and the rights of its members.
If the public officials up north had been less
and determined, and if the members Of the
community had been less ready to respond, Langdon
would have been IN the possession Of a mob ready
for any sort of violence, after which it would have
been too late to organize for defense. AS it was, orr
'gganization was effected while it could be made eff

ARMY REDUCTION
 BILL OPENS H0T' SENATE DEBATE

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Inaugu- ration of senate consideration of the s355. ,o00 army appropriation bill today brought from senators advocat- ing economy a hot attack on the com mittee recommendations for mini mum army of 170,00o men. Economy advocates, led by Senator Borah, Re- publican of Idaho, and including Sem arors Hitchcock of Nebraska and
 King of Utah, Democrats, criticised the personnel provision and indicated their intention to wage bitter fight to reduce it. Senator Borah an- nounced he would move to limit the army to 100000 men, because I am convinced that is the lowest attain able under the circumstances. Senator King. however, declared he would seek to obtain reduction tc l 100. 900.
 l The amendment for a minimum army of 1T0.0 900 as compared with tls house provision for an average arm, of 150, ,000 men, was also strongly sup ported during debate.
 I Chairman Wadsworth declared tha inability to decrease army kxpendi I lures was due largely to the unwill secretary of war, to reduce the sig lof the army.

OIL SUPPLY OF LIBERIA

 LOAN IN UNITED STATES

Past experience had shown the white men who do business in the Negro re- public that it was difficult to make headway against the lawyers So that the first loan was turned down. Liberia was left disconsolate. Her external debt amounts to about ss,- 000,000. and the English and French holders of the bonds were pressing for settlement
 "Or if you haven't got the money we'll take your oil lands" was the suggestion of the foreign bond holders.
 Foreigners Are Insistent
 Liberia maintains loudly that she does not owe all the money She in sists that all the interest due up to a few months ago had been well and duly paid into an American financial institution. But you know how it is sometimes, especially during these stirring times of war. Liberia says she can prove she sent the money and the bondholders say they car prove they never got it. This is g simple enough maIJ>r which nigh be worked out at leisure, except fol
 the fact that the foreigners want tha
