cover OF night.
The moonshiner has no
chance to examine the money.
And it's not probable that
he'd detect its falseness II ne
could.
Later. when the moonshin-
er's false money is detected
at n store or bank. he doesn't
dare complain. So he takes
his loss and says nothing.
1t works similarly on the
Canadian border. Canadian
bankers and merchants aren
as familiar with American
money as bankers and mer
chants on the United States
side. and the counterfeit bilis
travel n long way before
they're detected. Then their
source can't be traced.
Two methods of counter
feiting have been used most
during the past few months
One is raising bills. ina,
means making a $40 or Sioo
bill out of a 81 by passing
one or two ciphers after the
81" This usually is very
clumsily done and can be
easily detected.
Many combinations are pos
sible in raising Two-dol-
lar notes are raised to $50
and SIS to $50.
Hundreds Of raised notes
of $50. $50 and 500 denom-
nations are in wide circula-
ton today. -.
The other method is split
ting a real bill into two
parts. pasting two halves OF
a counterfeit bill on the two
genuine halves and thus
making two bills out of one,
each with one side that will
pass muster at the most ex-
acting bank.
Thousands of dollars In
bills of this type recently
were put into circulation BY
a counterfeiting gang at Phil
adelphia.
Counterfeiters usuaily
work in groups with each
member assigned his own
special task. ,
Counterfeiting is confined
largely to bills, altho a few
old hands are still making
counterfeit coins. These are
produced from molds and
are more easily detected than
bills.

BORAH'S PROPAGANDA
CLAIM

Propaganda circulated in this coun-
try by Great Britain TO deter America
from building a great navy is asserted
by Senator Borah to be in the archives
or the navy department.
Whether the British government has
ever supported or sanctioned any such
propa ganda is highly improbable. II
such propaganda has arrived in this
country from British sources. il prob
ably comes from organizations or in
dividuals acting upon their own respon-
sibility. 1t is possible that these prop
agandists might claim government sup
port in order to give greater weight to
their statements.
In any event. propaganda Of this ma
ture can hardly be described as dan
gerouS. II cannot affect our naval pol
icy one way or the other. Any steps
taken toward either reduction or in
crease Of our naval strength will be
based entirely upon facts and not upon
propaganda.
England cannot be ignorant Of the
general sentiment in this country as to
the navy. which is that wo must con-
tiDue building until all the nations
agree upon limitation OF ornaments.

one reason for this general cond''
ton of unrriundiness is that there IS
no crisis in world .aftairs-no great
common cause to hold any two nations
together. During the war. warm
national friendships existed. with I"
basis Of mutual Sclf-rrcScrvation Now
those bonds no longer exist because
the need OF them has ceased.
With the attainment OF the great
mutual object, allied solidarity has
given way to national consciousness
There is always competition between
nations. which inevitably leads to fri"-
ton Of various kinds. The results OF
tho war have Increased. rather than
decreased these POINTS Of friction. even
among the allies. Each nation is or
dinarily for itself first. and It should
not be considered surprising that som"
of the warmth has gone out or allied
friendships since the ending Of the
war. With those war friendships still
fresh in mind, We, ar naturally i'm
pressed by the quick development Of
chickering's and rcsentmcnts.
Possibly international friction IS
slightly greater just now than 1t was
before the war. owing 10 a natural re-
action and to new causes of difference
There Is OF course. a special cause OF
bitter feeling against America. which,
is that the other nations owe her large
sums OF money. \ creditor is never
popular, whether an individual or a
nation.
But this lack OF international cor
diaIity is not a cause for alarm. Noth-
ing more serious than diplomatic bat
ties is in sight.

The American people would be very
glad to be freed of the financial burdens
OF a great navy. but guarantees OF
national safety come first.
In common with all the other pow
erS, England has heavy burden OF
war taxation. and wishes 10 avoid an
armament race. 1t is not improper for
British public men. or even the British
government to issue appeals and ar
guments against race in naval con-
struction, IL such appeals and argu-
ments be made openly. Secret prop
uganda would OF course hc diSapproved

BoLsHEVISTS PLAN ATTACK

That the preparations OF FRANCE
Poland and Rumauia 10 rcpcl Bolshcv-
list attacks are not needless. is shown
by the recent capture Of secret doc
umcnt OF the Soviet government. This
document says in part:
When April comes VIC will have
only the Polish front left and solid
central base ready for operations Our
army then will include 100000, OF which
500 600 can be hurled against Poland,
the concentration to be along the right
banks of the DniepCr river so as 10
enable US 10 make decisive stroke
against Lcmbcrg and Warsaw"
Possibly this is exaggerated. To
equip and maintain an army Of 10000
is costly. even IL they be maintained in
a very indifferent manner. Probably
the Bolshevists have plenty Of arms
left over from the equipment of tho
Russian armies during the world war
but before undertaking a campaign Of
any size IL would be necessary to have
large supply Of ammunition and sup
plies Of all kinds. The significance Of
the document is that determined at
tack on Poland is contemplated.
With the assistance of French STRAIT
egg. the Poles hurled back the last at
tack Of the Bolshevists- at the Fistula
river. In case OF a new and greater
attack. Poland would again depend up
on France and would receive substan-
tial aid. since the holding of the Reds
at the Polish barrier is now n fixed
French policy. The same would apply
TO an attack upon Rumania. as both
Poland and Franco have agreed to help
that nation II necessary.
1t has ben demonstrated several times
that the Bolshevists arc fanatical
enough TO undertake attacks even when
thir chances OF success look very poor
to outsiders. II cannot be assumed,
I therefore. that the knowledge of strong
, French participation will hold them
| back from their attempt 70 crush Pol

NO FRIENDS

That America Is without friend

the rather startling statement made
by the chairman Of the house military
affairs committee and quoted on the
floor by Representative Pou. of North
Carolina. Mr.. pou says that this is
calculated to shock. but that it never
theless Is true.
II we admit this to be true. we at
least have the comfort OF knowing
that we have plenty OF company. En-
actly the same thing may be said OF
