London, Sept. 12.—To the average man it seems strange that the repayment of a loan should 'be the cause of anything but satisfaction'
Certainly in small, private transactions any other result is inconceivable, but in the larger sphere of litigation these differences are different rules obtain.
Evidence is now accumulating that those who control the finances of the United States have reason to be perturbed by the oversight facing them in consequence of the schemes of large flowering, in their country from the repayment of money borrowed during the war.
Gold Reserve Increasing It is estimated that in a comparatively short time the gold reserve of the United States has risen from 46 per cent to over double that figure.
While America is thus accounting the currency of a number of European countries are devalued because they have no locking on
Here, then, we have one country reported to be apprehensive about its growing hoard of gold and other countries suffering for the lice of 36.
Cold Standard Has Drawbacks
In these circumstances it is not natural that people should inquire whether the gold standard is a source and a debulition—whether the unprecedented disturbances of finance, due to the war is about to reveal to us some new economic law which will change the financial systems of the world.
The drawbacks of the gold standard, which I cannot here discuss have led some economists to propose other bases of currency.
For example Mr. Henry Ford a short time ago published a series of articles, claiming that it was possible to dispense with gold and to create a currency based on the dollar. Now it is conceived that it is small self contained country, independent of foreign trade might thus subsist. Within its own boundaries such a country might be able to transmit its business with ease, deriving values from the credit market without any backlog of c12.
Raises a Question
But the general instability of democratic governments is such that it is difficult to believe that a paper currency, resting on their credit alone would be accepted in other countries. The natural resources of a state, the skill and diligence of its people and the soundness of its industries may justify a large amount of government support. The certainty of a continuity of our Government, such credit may be in valid.
At the outset of the Great War, the exchange for a time was heavily avoided American. I have been told of Americans abroad who paid $73 for a British paper pound note. In these circumstances American fenced a large withdrawal o gold which might have created a dangerous panic. The German army kept门窗 closed and dramatic steps were taken to save the situation.
Since then the exchange have taken the reverse direction, with the result that a large part of the gold is still accumulating in America. The effect of this concentration of gold in one country is naturally instrumental to the interests of other countries and is felt especially in Europe.
Whether this gold is held in few or many hands, we, in England, do not know. But it remains a great treasure even if it is at present of no value to the American people as a whole. Nevertheless, the high corsidion of America rests on other factors as well: the historic bykill of his golden gold.
In the event of a war, America would find her boarded gold of more or less advantage, depending on the duration of the conflict and its cost.

Tommy Dixon Gets Socked on the Bean
Did you ever hear of Hindeo Tarq? Perhaps you think it is some kind of religion or maybe a Rapah high-ball Stick was the case with Tommy Dixon, revered Jackhawk looking coach. But he wasn't an authority on the subject now.
It happened in the freshman mixer in Robinson gymnasium last night. Ted Shultz, Y. M. C. A. secretary, introduced the game of Hindo tag to the several hundred freshmen. The proceeding is simple in the extreme. Several freshmen were asked to toss the ball, and waved to hit any freshman who did not double up on the floor on his hands and knees.
Tommy, who had been watching proceedings, detached himself from the wall where he had been canonflaged against a dumb-bell rack and started to walk across the floor between the kneeling freshmen.
He didn't get far, Sock! A knotted towel, riveted only by the fame of Ozira right, caught him on the head causing him to see more stairs than are seen in the Yorke's observatory in a week.
"A tapped chisel hasn't anything on a knotted towel," says Tommy, "I don't like the way of the Hindo."
Bureau of American Ethnology Discovers Nation's Boundaries
Pottery Taken from Mounds Indicates High Degree of Civilization in Tribes
(By Science Service)
Washington, Spt. 14—The Bureau of American Ethnology has set for itself the task of digging up the far gulf boundaries of a vanished nation—one of the most mysteries in history. This is the Creek Confederation which, in the opinion of Dr. J. Walter Fewken, director, on-emerged archaeological research from Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas and Mississippi, early Texas.
Dr. Fewkes plans to follow the trail of the ill fated Spanish explorer, De Soto, discoverer of the Mississippi. Records left by followers of De Sato, who finally escaped from the deadly tangles of the southern swamps, tell of a large number of palated sea taints inhabited by a tribe with a high degree of culture. Dr. Fewkes believes, that most of the trail led through the territory of the confederation.
They were mound builders and sun worshipers. Some of their pottery which has been taken from the mounds indicates an artistic and cultural development higher than any other in the history of the white men. Little is known of the political system which bound the great confederation of allied tribes. Equally mysterious is their origin and their final fate. There is every indication, according to Dr. Frewek, that the confederation had stages at its rise under the observation of De Soto and hismen.
The cavings left by the various tribes indicate a possible relationship with the Asteca and some scholars of pre-columbian history have jumped to the conclusion that they were a closely related people. This is questionable, Dr. Fewell says. Even if it should prove to be the case, he claims, it is doubtful whether they had attained the same degree of culinary skills as other people who had the advantage of contact with the Mayas. There is evidence, however, that they were a superior people to the Six Nations. They were aggressive and rattle, as De Soto found to his sorrow.
Davis Talks for League Democratic Nominee Takes Up Wilson's Crusade
(United Press)
Denver, Colo., Sept. 12, —Defense day, bringing memories of the great war to thousands of American homes, found John W. Davis, democratic standard bearer, taking up the plow in where Woodrow Wilson left off.
In the same hall—the municipal militiaurium—where Wilson spoke last week, he said that his speech on western problems to lift the torch of the fallen leader of
David showed the method of the greatest of all teachers—and related a parable to drive home his message to the people—an indictment of the Republican party and the Fordney-Macumber tariff law.
With a throb in his voice that was due to his campaigning the Democratic candidate made an appeal for cooperation with Europe that set all Denver talking today as nothing else in his speech had.

Adds New Gift to Museum
The historical collection of newspapers in the journalism museum were enriched Saturday by the gift of a copy of the Arkansas Journal. Feb. 16, 2008, was published in Lone Rock. The paper was presented by F. C. Weed of Lawrence. It is a four-page, four-column sheet bearing little resemblance to a modern paper, but the news relates to wars and rumors of wars in true modern fashion.
