This theater was entirely new and

which account for the accident. When
IL occurred local officials all over the

noted and corrected.

HARTMAN NATIONAL BANK

REV YORK
And Who Ultimately Pays?

new way 70 pay old debts has been evolved by
Lloyd George, and it is simplicity itself.
Great Britain is creditor to the amount OF
three billion pounds sterling and owes but one billion,
and that to the United States The Premier is willing
10 cancel the first named debt provided the United
States will cancel its claim. He does not state the
amount Russia owes Great Britain. which is about
56l 100000 pounds but inasmuch as he has no expee
tation OF collecting this debt from Russia, perhaps it
is hardly worth while stating IT, But later on what
wonderful trade bond between Great Britain and Rus
sa would be the announcement of British generosity
in the cancellation OF all Russia owes her.
The proposal is tantsmount to a bank debtor who,
finding himself embarrassed by the failure of one
of his debtors. says the bank: IF you will cancel
nv Indebtedness will cancel that Of my customer,
overlooking the fact that the bank happens to have
no interest in that customer.
Before the war Great Britains domain covered
some 100000 square miles. The results of the war
have given her some 100000 square miles of add
tional territory With most Of her debts cancelled
and new territory covered with English goods, why
should the British Empire worry?
We have heard a great deal about Great Britains
pride in paying her debts without pressure, but in

RUSS STAMPS COSTLY.
300 Pounds Of Ruble Notes Pay
Postage on Ounce Letter.

The numerals of the latest postal
rate list from soviet Russia to the
United states read like a national
bank statement. Under the new
rates a resident Of Russia can send
a letter weighing less than an ounce
to this country for only 100000 rubles
and the revenue on a post card Is
placed at 10000 rubles. Other arti-
cles may be mailed at "the reduced
rates." for 10000 rubles per two
ounces. This new schedule has been
received at the Post ONCE Depart
ment from the Universal Postal
Union with the explanation that the
rates represent the equivalent of 50,
80 and 10 centimes gold, respectively.
Temporarily. the old postage stamps
with the value stated in copecks
gold are put into circulation under
the following conditions: :.
Postage stamps with the nominal
value of one copeck up to II copecks
are increased in value a million times
For example, the actual value of a
seven-copeck postage stamp is equal
to 10000 rubles. Postage. stamps
with the nominal value of one ruble
up to ten rubles are increased in
value 10 600 times, making the actual
value OF a fve-rublef stamp, $4,000
rubles. =
4 ruble normally corresponds to
an American half dollar. and was the
old standard currency unit in Russia
Today it would take nearly 200
pounds Of one-ruble notes to mail a
letter to America.
