New York.

The paper money of Europe, ex-
elusive of that issued by the Rus
sian Soviet Government, whose
paper currency today exceeds TO-
000, 000, 100000, now aggregates ap-
proximately $500, 000,0 100000, at
the pre-war valuation of the
respective currencies, as against
about 100000 100000 one year
ago and $5,000,000,000 in the
year preceding the war. Over one
half of the countries of Europe
have decreased their paper cur
rency during the last year, but
the other half go on increasing at
a rapid rate.
What do these various paper
currencies of Europe look like, and
what do they promise on their face
to the individual who accepts them
for his labor or merchandise?
A very large proportion of the
currencies are issued by the great
blanks of issue" of the respective
countries, such as the Bank of
France, the Imperial Bank of Ger
many, the Polish National Bank,
the Austrian Bank, and the Bank
of England, though a very consid
cradle proportion of the paper cur
rency of Great Britain is, as shown
below, issued directly by the Gov
eminent.

JUGO-SLAVIA-There are in
circulation in Jugo-Slavia three
types of notes-one issued by the
Serbian Government, presumably
prior to the armistice, bearing the
words, "God defend Serbia; The
National Bank of the Kingdom of
Serbia will pay to bearer 5 dinars
in silver on demand" Another
type of note is printed in Serbian
and on the reverse side the French
language; while more recent notes
state their value in both dinars
and crowns. a recent example of
this issue bearing the words-"The
Ministry of Finance of the King
dom of Serbia, Creates and Slo

words, $50 crowns" The out

Bank of the Serbs, Creates and

POLAND-The currency of the
Polish Government is described by
the Statesmen's Year Book as a
temporary monetary unit" The
notes, issued by the Polish Nation
