GENEVA, Nov. 3 (Associated Press) -
The sessions of the International Labor

is more optimism as to trade for winter

Even with the abatement of buying

GOLD COINS OF CROESUS
ARRIVE FROM SMYRNA
Consul General Saves Old
Pieces From Raiders.

Thirty gold coins from the mint of
Croesus, last King OF Lydia, and the
first multi-millionare or his time. about
2,4S2 years ago, arrived here last even
ing aboard the United States Liner
America in the pocket of George Horton.
American Consul-General at Smyrna, on
leave of absence. Mr.. Horton, who has
been twenty-five years in consular ser
vice, jingled the coins in his right hand
trousers pocket as he came down the
gangplank, looking for reporters. He
used to be one himself, and later helped
to found the Chicago Herald.
He said the coins were worth, merely
as gold, about $500, but as the oldest
coins of that metal known they prob
ably were worth many times that
amount. They were minted if they had
minis in those days. about $50 b. c., and
We're dug up, as was told in THE NEW
YORK HERALD. by American archeolog-
ical delivers on the site of Lydian city.
The coins were found in jars and were
in perfect condition. The American
share in the find was turned over to Mr.
Horton, who placed them in the safe of
the Consulate at Smyrna Each piece
has bulls head on one side and on the
other the head of a lion.
When the Turks invaded Smyrna and
fire was set to the city. Mr.. Horizons
first thoughts We're, he said, of saving
the coins and the official records of the
Consulate. His residence. all its fur
nishings and his automobile were de-
stroyed but he saved the coins and his
records, and the latter are on their way
here, aboard a destroyer. To-day the
coins will be turned over to the Amer
lean Archaeological Society
Mr.. Horizons wife and daughter were
with him when Smyrna was burned. and
We're taken to the port of Athens by re-
lief ships He said he could not praise
too highly the bravery and unselfishness
of the American women and men, and
that they stayed in the city as long as
was humanity possible, particularly the
women teachers at the American schools
and colleges, helping refugees to safety.
Mr.. Horton is going to Washington and
Will confer with officials Of the State
Department on the disappearance of six
naturalized American citizens in Smyrna.

Ibis is delayed, nothing can be done for
Russia. In fact the same might tie said
of the currencies of nearly every other
central European country, all of which
are suffering with what j call money
Sickness
I'm Russia there has been general
amelioration, due to the fact that the
majority of the Bolsheviki now have
become bourgeois, and as such, pos
sessing part of Russia's capital, they
are disposed TO defend capitalism. Prop
erly speaking there Is no communism
in Russia. but they are still trying to
hold on to a few ancient formulate to
save their faces. Most of their princi-
pies are as democratic as those of other
countries
For instance, the chief conditions OF
the Urquhart- Krassine accord, namely,
the duration of IL c concessions and the
sovereignty of the State. have been
included in French law for years.
Russia has proved it is impossible to
suppress capital in organized society,
and from this point of view the expert
ment has been valuable. You can call
it what you Will. but capital always
must be the principal lever for the de-
velopment OF society.
The Russian experiment has been
tried out in the only country where it
possibly could have succeeded-and 1t
has failed. Now IS the time for reor-
ganization on n sounder basis, but. as
in the case OF Germany the present
monetary conception must be aban-
doned."
NJ Loucheur's inquiries among trad
ers have shown that while a few small
shipments are occasionally leaving
France for Russia, the agents who
come back report almost to man that
nothing can be done on a large scale
as long as the financial systems vary,
and they say that all stories Of French
groups taking up Soviet concessions
thus far lack the slightest foundation.

THE WHOLE WAR PROGRAM

TO see the lights of the city for now
they have bombarded Paris when II
was protected. on a darg night. by a
blanket of fog, and London also under
the same conditions The compass is
not much good. the deviations are SO
great. 1t may be that the clever Huns
have found some way of plotting
themselves surely.
We are starting two campaigns
through the Bureau of Education.
One is for school gardens. To have
the children organized, each one to
plant a garden. The plan is to raise
vegetables which will save things that
can be sent over to the armies, and
also give the children sense of being
in the war. Another thing we are
trying to do is educate the foreign
born and the native born who cannot
read or write English.

Little Thought of Future.
WASHINGTON, March Z, 1918


The thing that democracy is short
on is fore sight. We do not have
enough men like the General Staff in
Germany who can think ten and
twenty years ahead. We are too much
embedded and incrusted in the things
that flow around us during the day
and think too little of the future.
For five long, weary years l have
been agitating for the use of the
water powers of the United States.
We estimate the unused power in tens
and tens of millions of horsepower.
Right in New York you have in the
Erie Canal 10000 horsepower, and on
the Niagara River you have probably
a million unused. If you had a great
dam across the river below the rapids
we should have water power in chains,
like fire horses in their stalls, that
could be brought out at the time OF
need. But we are thinking in large
figures these days, and while we used
to be afraid to ask for few hundred
thousand dollars we now talk in mil
lions, and some day we may realize
that to put the cost of a weeks war
into power plants in the United States
would be money well invested :.
We have no law under which pri-
vate capital feels justified in investing
a dollar in a water power plant where
public lands are involved because the
permit granted is revokable at the
pleasure Of the Secretary of the In
terror, and capital does not enjoy the
prospect of making it's future returns
dependent upon the good digestion of
the Secretary.

Period of the War.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 1918.

Things are going much bet
ter with the War Department. My
expectation is that this war will re-
solve itself into three things, in this
order-ships for food, airplanes, big
guns. We must, as you know, do all
that we can to keep up the morale
of our own people. There is a con-
siderable percentage of paciflsts, and
of the weak hearted ones, who would
like to have a peace now upon any
terms, but the treatment that Russia
is receiving, after she had thrown
down her arms, indicates what may
be expected by any nation that quits
now.
M. The prospects for democrat
ization of Germany is not as good
as it was year ago. when we came
in. because of their success in arms
due to Russia's debacle. The people
will not overthrow a Government
which is successful, nor will they be
inclined to desert n system which adds
to Germany's glory. 1t is n fight. a
long fight, fight of tremendous sac
rifce, that we are in for. / said a
year ago that it would be two years.
Then L thought that Russia would
put up some kind OF front. Now
say two yeArs from this time, and.
possibly, a great deal longer. Lord
Northcliffe thinks four or six or eight
years.
The Germans seem to have dis
covered some way by which they can
tell where they are without being able

Paris. Nov. 3.
Formal declaration of Germany's
bankruptcy, the total abolition of both
the German mark and the Russian
ruble and replacement by new none
tary standard are proposed openly by
French financial and political leaders
in view of the Preparations Commits
sion's conference with the Berlin Gov
eminent. In this they profess to ex-
press the consensus of American and
British bankers who have visited Ger
many recently, bringing back the view
that such a program provides the sole
means toward any restoration of pre-
war relations with either Germany or
Russia. To-day reports from Berlin
that Germany will ask the Repara-
negotiate 100000 900 mark gold for

the matter.
Although the Poincare Cabinet has

That it is NJ. Lcucheur who will take
up the fight 60 put Germany on her

not only because of his relations with
the late Foreign Minister, DIR. Walter

Germany's desire to pay when the sit
