LESS MONEY.

1t is an axiom in economics that COM
modify prices vary inversely with avail
able supply. That this should be true
has always vcXcd the doctrinaires who
are in revolt against the despotism of
fact. but the worlds cxperience-and it
covers many centurics-has demonstrated
its truth. Just now, when prices are re-
.ceding, it is interesting to note the
shrinkage in the money in circulation in
the United States, Money, like anything
else, is worth more when it is scarce.
Last month. according to treasury de-
partment figures. the money in circula-
! ton in the country fell from $6,207. 190.-
$40 to $6,O93, 5OO.6S9-a reduction of
I$13,6S9,SS1, in 81 days. This represents
per capita Shrinkage of from $57.73 to
$500, on the basis of an estimated pop
ulation of 1O7,66S 600. 1t isn't much of
reduction, but it helps. so far as prices
are concerned. As it progresses. and bus
| mess believes it will. the advantages of
| the trend should become increasingly ap-
parent.
Money is worthless, save as it repre-
sents purchasing power. Wages count,
not in the dollars and cents in the pay
envelope but in the commodities which
| those dollars and cents will buy. Once
the great mass of the American people
gets this idea firmly in mind there should
be less complaint of tight" money and
of hard times" Every economic change
works hardship somewhere-but it is an
i'll wind that blows nobody good. To-day
it is the turn of those with fixed incomes
to rejoice.

SUMNER MILITARY TRAINING.

Preliminary information regarding the
present activities of Gen. Pershing
arouScs Widespread interest. He is en-
gagged, ut the suggestion of the govern
ment, in working out a new plan for a
military system of national defense Ac-
cording to an announcement recently
made from his headquarters, he contem-
plates the organization of a great citi-
zens reserve corps, enlisted and trained
on basis of voluntary service. There
would be camps established in various
sections of the country. in operation
every summer from about the first of
August until the first of September. The
age limits would be perhaps 16 and 30.
Applicants would serve without pay, haV-
ing their food. uniforms and transpOrta-
'tion furnished by the government, and
in compensation for their patriotic
training and preparedness for military
service in emergency would have a useful
and hcalthful summer outing at the ex-
.pcnse of the government.
This tentative plan is evidently an ex-
tension of the one iIaugurated by Gen.
Wood before the United States entered
the war. 1t met then with a ready re-
Spouse, even when men had to pay n
large part of their own expenses for the
privilege of being trained. 1t should
work stiIl better. despite the absence of
an impending war, when handled in a
more liberal way. with adequate facilities
and with the full authority of the gov
eminent back of it. 1t suggests the
Swiss system. too, which has provided
Switzerland with a well trained and
highly efficient citizen army. without
maintaining any standing army at all
and without a great deal of expense,
through seasonal training at such times
as not to interfere with the citizens reg
uIar occupations. In Switzerland, how
ever, such training is compulsory.

army slackcrs. In spite of every pre-
caution. there is reason to believe that
some names may be included in the lists
as they now stand which should not be
there. As long as this doubt exists, the
records should not be published. 1t does

The soldiers who served hOnorably
paid the price of that service in n thous-

Many others were disabled by wounds or
