GRETNA GREEN PROFITS SPLIT


+ EiktOn jitneurs, shut out of the
combine" which, they claim, had
'"hogged" the Gretna Green profits
for some time past, are coming into
their own. At their suggestion, il
is said another dominic, Rev. R. T.
Western, Methodist, has set up as a
rival to Rev. w. R. Moon, Baptist,
who has had the cream Of nuptial
knot-tying profits in Elkton for sew
eral years past. Mr.. Western, who
has been working small farm in
the North East section, has rented
Mr.. Moons former pro-chapel, on
Stockton street, and since Wednes-
day last his services have been in
encouraging demand. He and his
jitneurs are said to have arranged
a more liberal modus vivendi than
their rivals enjoy, and competition
in consequence may become keen.

AUSTRIA HAVING
 ECONOMIC SPASM
Collapse in Exchange Value oI
 KrOnGn

Vienna, Nov, With the collapse in the exchange yalue of the lUonen, Austria is undergoing another econ omc and financial apasm, Since July 16 the crown has dropped from $50 to the American dollar to about 5000. The loo crown note, whose pre-War value was SEQ, is now about the min
 mum unit Of daily use, and 10000 crown notes cannot be printed fast enough to meet the needs Of bust ness,
 For the last month the government presses have been printing some b. GOO, ,O00,o ,ooO lroneu a week to meet current expenses. The issue will have to be increased to meet the demands of the great army Of civil servants for living wage, Within q month they have received increases amount ing to about 5000, ,000, ,000 kronen and already, with steadily falling eX- change and the equally steady ad- vance in living costs, they are for mulating new demands.
 The same is true of private busl- ness In every class of industry and wage earning employers are being forced to raise pay while prices of everything mount,
 When the collapse of the currency set in so feverishly a few weeks ago, swarm of alien buyers swept over the country They bought everything they saw that had a value Stores were stripped Of stocks until the ma jority of merchants began to retire their goods or refuse to sell more than one article to q customer
 These foreign buyers were aided by natives in the general desire to get rid of Austrian money. The feeling was that anything was better than the crown.
 The most serious feature of the sit uation however, is the alarming in crease in food prices. The increase | in wages has not been equal to this rise and the result is much unrest | among the poorer classes. Womer
 have been storming the public mark
 cts, overturning stalls and in some cases beating narketmen. They have
 had public sympathy and the police
