NEW MINT FOR CHINA
First Institution of Kind Expect
ed TO Stabilize Currency.
American Expert Is in Charge of Max
ing 100000 Silver Dollars
Every Day.

Shanghai first step in an eff
fort toward uniformity in Chinese
currency will be undertaken by the
building here Of China's first national
mint. The work will be directed by
an American mint expert, Clifford
Hewitt of Philadelphia, whose serv-
ices have been loaned to China by the
United States, and who came here a
short timeN ago to begin his duties.
Mr.. Hewitt installed the new mint at
Manila, the first established in the
Philippines.
1t is expected that the complexion
of the new Chinese mint will put an
end to the congomerate system of cur
rency of all kinds and values which
has long been drag on the CONNER
cial progress of China
While the Mexican dollar, introduced
into China from the Philippines, has
come to be common unit of value,
the various tuchuns governors and
other officials of provinces have issued
coins that are dealt with commercial
ly at values based on the quantity Of
their silver content. The Chinese tael
in which government funds and Gus
toms ordinarily are reckoned, is not
coin at all, but silver slug of. a Civ
en- weight and fineness, differing in
weight and value in the different prov
inces.
The Shanghai mint is to cost about
100000 and will be one of the largest
in the world, rivaling in size and output
the mint at Philadelphia. 1t is to
have a capacity of 100000 silver dol
lars a day with daily consumption
of IA tons of silver in addition to
baser metals used as alloys. Mr.. Hew-
lit hopes to have the plant completed
and in operation within two years.
He is the originator of many of the
machines and processes in use in
American minis, having been in the
service of the United States govern
ment "a years. He was builder of the
American minis at Denver and Phil
adelphia

Casper, Wyo.-Westbound Chicago
Burlington & Quincy train No. 80 wa.
narrowly saved from serious wreck
by an unidentified man who tagged
the train as 1t was approaching a part
of the track few miles east of here
that had been torn up. The train was
travelling fifty miles an hour at the

completely had 1t struck the torn-up
track.
Who was responsible for the at
tempted wrecking of the Burlington
train is still complete mystery, ac-
cording to police and railroad Off
Gals. 1t was thought possible that
the person who tagged the train was
originally one Of the party intending
to wreck 1t, for when the train
stopped and its crew made an investi-
cation no one could be found.
The spikes had been pu,'cd out of
the ties and the rails torn up COM
pletely for nearly 100 feet, only four

MUST PAY HIGH
FOR PASSPORTS
European Countries Tax Ameri-

the Rate Here.
LESS FOR OTHER TOURISTS
President Mitchell of the Red Star
Line Suggests Action by the United
States Chamber of Commerce
Peasants Go Back to Land.

New York.-According to Percy v
G. Mitchell, president Of the Red Star
line and general manager of the Inter
| national Mercantile Marine company
in Belgium, the charge Of $40 for an
American wise on passports is not only
a tax upon immigrants who have to
pay the high rate of exchange, but also
upon American business men abroad.
Since the charge for wise has been
raised from 50 to So" said Mr..
Mitchell, "the countries in Europe have
retaliated by making Americans pay
the same amount. They have arranged
to base their charges for a wise on a
sliding scale. For example, have to
pay 10 francs for my wise at the Bel
gian consulate because l am an Amer
lean, while an Englishman has only to
pay 10 francs, which is a big differ
ence when man is accompanied by
members of his family.
All Are Doing 1t.
'Since the war Europe has been split
up into a number of small countries,
and each of them is charging Ameri-
cans the equivalent of SO in United
States currency. A business man has
to pass from one country to another to
get anywhere, and in each case he has
to pay heavily because the State de-
partment in Washington, without any
reason that l have been able to learn,
has raised the fee to $40.
THE citizen of the United States
has to pay $40 for his passport in the
first place, and then to pay another $40
to return from abroad, and the same
amount for the countries he visits on
the continent. Why the United States
Chamber of Commerce has not taken
up this question, which is so important
to American business men travelling
Europe, am at loss to I'M
derStand
Tourist Travel Hit.
"In addition it will also interfere
with tourist travel in the summer,
which had already decreased consider
ably through the increase in passen-
ger fares made necessary by the high
cost of operation of the steamships, in
wages, food, fuel, etc"
Mr.. Mitchell said the Belgian govern
ment was putting the peasants back on
he land in Flanders, and in place of
he small cottages with earthen floors |
which were demolished by the German !
guns they We're erecting neat, small |
houses with tiled floors and modern
sanitary conveniences. From what he
had heard recently in Brussels before
sailing for New York, the government
would not rebuild Newport, the former
fashionable seashore resort, as it had
'een blasted to pieces by shells and
combs, the avenues approaching 1t be-
ng ruined.
Dixmude, where the severe fighting
ook place at the bridgehead on the
ser, was to great extent demolished
lso, but the people had started to re-
urn there in the summer of 1919 and
uild on the ruins of their former
ONES. The Belgian peasant loves his
ountry and does not want to go
broad to live, Mr.. Mitchell added.
