BRITISH COUP
ON EXCHANGE
HURTS.FRANC
Purchase Of Dollars by
English With French
Money Is Cause.

Paris. Oct. 25.-(By The Associated
Press.)-The buying of dollars by Brit
ish banks with French francs in their
possession is said by French %financiers
to be the principal cause OF the present
weakness of the franc. The dollars
were used by the British to pay the in
terest on their war debt to the United
States.
Bankers and the financial authorities
of the government appear undisturbed
nv the rise Of the dollar and the pound.
1T is rarely possible for n to put
ones finger on the actual financing ex-
change" said a high official Of the
Bank of France to the Associated
Press. Then attempting to express
himself by using an American colo
quialism, he said:
An ethiopian In the kindIing"
But this time we can locate the
''colored gentleman in the woodpile..
1.-THE British banks and the British
treasury, which have long been accu-
mulating francs, have used them. as
was their right to do, to buy the dollars
they needed, instead OF using pounds,
he continued. The consequence was
that the payment of the big sum OF IN
terest to the United States has had no
bad effect on the pound. On the con
trary, their exchange profited by the
subsequent depreciation Of the franc
The British banks. having disposed
of their francs, cannot repeat such
an operation easily again, it was point
ed out. There are other factors IN
the situation which also are regarded as
temporary, such as the large purchases
Of wool and cotton in the United States
by French manufacturers .
saThese arc not alone temporary but
they are immensely encouraging said
the head of the economic research de-
partment of a leading French baak.
''They show signs Of revival of French
industry. The importations of u
raw material mean the expectation OF
the manufactured product"
Big Copper Purchases
tt has been reported in France re-
Gently that this country. has bought
large quantities of copper in the United
States. While the copper came from
the United States, it was the property
of Germans who have contracted TOT
over 12O, 1000, 900 pounds on q credit
operation. The value of such a large
quantity at the present rate OF ex-
change is said to be worth more than
100. 0O0, OOO, 600 paper marks. -
Speculation has had little to DO with
the present movement" said a banker,
Speculation simply followed the move
ment which was started by the skillful
British operations. Even the situation
in Germany had more to do with it than
speculation. The tribulations of the
debtor are always an embarrassment
to the principal creditor. If we could
count on the payment of even part OF
those sums which are owed us by Ger
many. the effect on our exchange would
be considerable"

HERM|TFOUND DEAD
BY JERSEY HUNTERS
LED MYSTERY life
RecIuse With Bank Account
Reported to Have Been
French Officer.

Egg Harbor, \. J., Oct. 25.-Two
duck hunters Wednesday found the
body of John Ditch, an S0-year old
hermit. whose life. since he moved into
the woods near here almost a half
century ago. has been mysterious.
Ditch's death is equally mysterious.
The authorities are seeking TO de-
termine whether the venerable ~recluse
met death through illness or violence.
Two deep cuts in the wrists are the
only marks on the body. These cuts,
in the opinion OF police, were not
serious enough to cause death. They
suggest that he may have been struck
by an automobile or attacked. In the
trousers pockets the hunters found
1855 in worn paper money and a small
amount Of silver. A pocket of the
worn coat contained a bank book of
the Egg City Commercial bank which
showed the hermit. had q 5 $500 bal
ance there.
John Ditch had made no friends.
Late in the '10's he wandered into
town and out again, making for the
swamp country. He found a little
hummock and there dug a hole In the
earth. wherein he lived.
A tunnel boarded with odds and ends
of timber led to q tiny room barely
high enough for a man to stand erect.
Here the hermit lived until 1919.
He cultivated a small patch of ground.
He spent his time in wood chopping
and working 70. the saw mills.
In winter he hunted and picked holly
and sold cranberries. Two years ago.
Ditch decided to spend his remaining
years of leisure above ground and built
himself q two room hut.
Ditch spoke French and English. A
sawmilI boss from Canada occasionally
had long talks with him in French.
From these talks it developed that
Ditch (Which the saw mill boss said
was not the hermit's right nameI, had
become involved in some sort of an
affair while an officer in the French
army after the war of 1870.

would discuss charges against him,
