Washington D. C.-Oficials here
were prepared to press forward today
their plans for extending every pos
sible means of American aid to earth
quake sufferers of Japan.
While Americans n, di v a ly
throughout the country were respond
ing to the proclamation appeal issued
by President Coolidge for contribu-
tions through the American Red Cross,
ships of the army and navy already
were either underway or loading with
supplies for the relief of the afflicted
region. In addition the entire Asiat!c
fleet has been placed at the disposal
of the Japanese minister of marine
for any possible service, and plans
were said to contemplate the use Of
other government vessels, including
some of the shipping board,T.if neces-
sary as supply carriers.
After American relief plans had
been discussed yesterday at the White
House, it was announced last night
that the destroyer tender Black Hawk
would be loaded on her arrival at
Chefoo, China, with one million pounds
of rice and 100000 pounds of beans
and other non-perishable foods to be
rushed to the earthquake sufferers.
Rush Food and Clothing.
The war department at the same
time ordered the army transports Meigs
and Merritt to proceed from Manila
with food and medical supplies and
bedding fRom the army stores there.
| A sufficient enlisted force to take care
of distribution was ordered to ac-
company the supplies. 1t is a six or
seven days voyage to Yokohama
after the ships are loaded, which
probably will require day.
Meanwhile several destroyers of the
Asiatic fleet are nearing japan with
medical supplies and food, one being
due to arrive at Nagasaki today and
the other six at Yokohama tomorrow.
The American Red Cross has APP
propriated $4,000 from its reserve for
the assistance of Americans in the
stricken area.
The president sSappeal for contribu-
tions was issued Immediately after
Ambassador Hanihara of Japan, had
called at the White House and learn
ed from Mr.. Coolidge the desire of
the Washington government to render
all possible service.
The ambassador in latre statement
expressed his "deep appreciation of
the great, tide of sympathy that has
arisen throughout America" at that
catastrophe that has stricken his
country.

Can Drive Mules
Without Profanity
Student Soldiers Find That the Army
Mule Has Been Maligned
These Many Years.

Camp Custer, Mich.--A tradition of
the army that stubborn Missouri
mule cannot be driven without an
abundant flow of profanity has been
placed in the discard. For the 1900
student soldiers from Michigan, Wis
consin and Illinois who attended the
Citizens Training camp here during
August have learned that this mule can
be driven with simple and we'll chosen
words.
One of the first things that hap
pened at camp after the soldier stu
dents arrived was the issuance of an
order setting forth the requirements of
an ideal soldier and forbidding pro-
family. This order metw it'll prompt
end continued obedience, and the young
men led an exemplary life during their
month at camp.
Only once did Miss Jessie M. Good
win, in charge of the Hostess house,
where social functions are held, exer-
else her authority. That was in the
early days of the camp. A few of the
young men, unable to gain admittance
to dance, forced their way through
doors and windows: AS result, sew
eral of the ring leaders were brought
before Miss Goodwin. The men admit
ted their guilt and expressed regret
for the discontinue caused the four
hundred others attending the party.
Thereafter they attended in line and
waited their turn to dance.
Life at the Citizens Training camp
was we'll regulated. The forenoon
routine was obligatory. Beds were
made with the art associated with bed
making and there was close observance
of the regulations governing the plac-
| ing of coats, hats, cartridge belts, tow
els, cartridges, rifles, bayonets, can
teens and other equipment.

The PERIL OF
EDISON-FORD'S
MONEY SCHEME
! Would Create More Paper
Money Than Russia's Trll-
lions but Add No Real
Wealth.
SOME DANGEROUS FALLACIES
Would Remove Safe Restraint OF
Gold Basis and Open Way to
Endless Issues Of Paper
Money.

How the United States would be
swamped, under greater volume
of worthless paper money than has
ruined Germany and Russia, by the
Edison-Ford commodity currency
plan is pointed out in the present
article, concluding the reviews,
prepared by the American Bankers
Association, of the recent exposure
of the folly of the whole scheme by
William T. Foster, Director Of the
Pollack Foundation for Economic
Research. Mr.. Foster says:
The supply of money, says
Mr.. Ford. is inadequate. There is
more wealth than there is money
to move it. He draws vivid pic
ture Of 'the golden dam to the
stream of prosperity From a hun
dred quarters comes the demand
for the government to speed up the
printing presses, in order to crush
the money monopoly, reduce in
terest rates, and make it easier for
everybody 10 get uOHCys
Initiating the currency, however,
though it enables people to get
more units of currency, does not
enable them to obtain more pur-
chasing power, and 1t does not re-
duce interest rates. In all her his
tory Germany never had so much
money or as high interest rates as
in 1922. Money, unlike other forms
of wealth, is not easier to obtain
simply because the total supply is
Increased. On the contrary, in.
creasing the supply of money ordi,
narily increases the demand for
money, and interest rates depend
not on supply, but on the relation
between supply and demand.
A Dangerous FaIIacy
81. 1--WE are assured, however, that
the Ford4Edfson plan provides
money for the farmer at virtually
no expense to the government or to
anyone else. All the government
has to do is to print the money
What could be simpler? Here we
come to the most dangerous falla.
cy in the whole project. 1t is dan
gerous because of the universal de-
sire to get something for nothing
Here is the gist Of the matter:
Money will buy whatever is pro
duced. not a particle more by any

Early Indian Pottery
s lis. Puzzle to Science

Science is confounded and seriously
puzzled in the study of the prehistoric
American Indian by the wonderful type
OF pottery made apparently by those
who inhabited the Mimbres Valley in
New Mexico. The ceramics of this lost
race were found in 1918, but DR.. j.
Walker Fewkes, chief of the bureau
ofnGethnology of the Smithsonian In
stitution, has recently returned from
ar investigation in the valley and re
ports that he, has found absolutely
nothing Of value in addition. The fig
pres found show representations of
life full of action, and the scientists
cannot understand how the ancient in
hab4tants were able to achieve the &C
euracy and perfection CT the involved
designs without the aid of mechanical
devices.

DIMENSIONS

Movies that show third dimension,
depth, like the stereoscope, will be
made in Chicago by the Spoor-Berg-
gren process. Movies at present have
only two dimensions, length and width,
but they seem real and -dimen-
tional to the audiences. Life involves
similar illusion. Man is a four-di-
mensional being, able to perceive only
three dimensions. So-called psychic
phenomena, unexplainale, are activities
in the fourth dimension. So claim some
of Einstein's followers.
