MONEY Of LITTLE
NEW YORK, N. Y.—Conditions in
1 Mexico are described in two messages
I recently received by the Presbyterian
i Hoard of Foreign Missions from rep
resentatives stationed in that coun
[ try. One writes:
“These are critical times. Some
four days after we were in Xitacuaro
a passenger train was blown up and
a massacre took place and few es
caped. Really, a fellow gets to have
a peculiar feeling down here. Some
times he gets a very optimistic feel
ing. and then, oh, so pessimistic! It
seems to come and go like the swing
of a pendulum. Sometimes we have
a calm of a few weeks, and then again
the bright hopes for the future seem
to be covered by dark clouds.
“T h e economic condition has
changed for the better with the return
of metallic money. I never saw the
people so keen for education for their
children: yet there is a dearth of
good teaching material, and also
funds to establish schools. If the
laws of the new constitution that is
being considered—rather a revision of
the old—will be favorable to our
schools,'then our mission will have a
glorious opportunity. Would that the
United States as a whole could real
ize that $1,000,000 gold would go a
great way in uplifting the masses
through education.
‘The last month (January) the
town has been alarmed many times
by Zapatista invasions (Zitacuro).
They have burned several small towns
nearby. It makes plans for the fu
ture work uncertain and very hard to
formulate. It also brings uneasiness
all around. I have not been able to
visit the southern part of this district
because of the Zapatistas. The other
day they entered the town where one
of our native workers lived, stole the
clothes of the family and the kitchen
ware and one or two animals, and the
family had to' flee.
“It is very difficult to get horses or
mules for itinerating. A fellow has
to do the best he can, walk when he
has to. and when he is lucky ride on
horseback. No one cares to loan his
beast, and the mission does not think
it wise to buy steeds just now, lest
someone on the road might forcibly
claim them.”
At Vera Cruz, Mexico, a missionary
had his first experience with the fi
nances of the country. He says: “Be
fore entering a restaurant we changed |
some money, and I wish you could
have seen the rolls of paper money
we had. We had a good supper, but
paid $21 a plate for it. After that,
a fellow traveler took my four com
panions and myself to a restaurant
and spent $47.25 for treats. As I sat
there I had my shoes blackened, for
which I paid $3.00.
“But then, we were using cheap
money, so it was not so bad. I felt
rich when I had changed a good $5.00
William with Uncle Sam’s seal on it,
for $.‘550 paper bearing Mr. Carranza’s
seal. I had my pockets literally stuf
fed. This paper money had little if.
anything back of it, and consequently j
was deteriorating in value. Two
weeks later it was selling 120 for 1,1
and by about the first of December j
there was nothing in sight at all ex
cept what the government used in
paying government employees. They
are still doing that to some extent,
but the stuff isn’t worth the cost of
printing now. At present silver and
gold are in circulation, but they are
both scarce. When people get hold of
it they don’t like to let it out of
their hands, for they don’t know when
it will come back.”
The Eagle’s club will hold a spe
cial meeting Friday night in the
rooms of the Anchor club, on H street
between 3rd and 4th. All members
of the F. O. K. are cordially invited.
Come in and help boost the club. A
good time and something to eat.

! ALASKA MINK
SWINDLER IS
JUGGED AGAIN
Notification of the arrest in Kan
sas City, Mo., of Mrs. Annette I,o<ier,
who figured in a series of sensational
escapades in Seattle in the latter part
of 1914 which culminated in her con
viction in the federal court on a
charge of using the mails to defraud,
was recently received by the United
States District Attorney Clay Allen,
at Seattle, and the unfortunate was
i brought there. She is to be tried in
Kansas City on a charge of grand
larceny and the prosecuting attorney
of that city has requested an authen
ticated copy of the conviction in the
district court at Seattle.
Mrs. I.oder was arrested in Seattle
in September, 1914, on an indictment
charging her with swindling working
. men in Chicago out of approximately
$5,000 in selling stock in the Kupren
auf mines in Alaska, over which it is
alleged she had control. She was
also accused of having represented
to her victims that she would obtain
permanent lucrative employment for
them in the north.
While she was awaiting trial she
filed two suits in the superior court,
one against a Seattle newspaper on
the grounds that she had been libeled
to the extent of $50,000 and the other
against a well known Seattle business
man whom she accused of breach of
promise.
When the federal case was called
to trial, Mrs. Loder had vanished. A
bond of $3,000 was ordered forfeited
by_ the court. Later she was arrested
in Chicago and was taken back to Se
attle in custody of a United States
marshal. She was found guilty on
Christmas eve of 1914 and was fined
$500 and ordered to pay the co.-,is
which aggregated to more than $2,iW0.

GERMANS. NOW GRIND
BONES FOR FAT
The German government in its ex
tremity of trying to make both ends
meet till the next grain crop and re
place such foods as potatoes, now
woefully scarce, has ordered that all
grain must be milled out to 94 per
cent, instead of 82 per cent, as at
present, and 00 per cent in peace time.
The flour resulting, though far coars
er, will be somewhat cheaper.
A plan to compe^all cities of more
than 8,000 population to collect bones
systematically and turn them into the
fat-extracting plants, which for some
time have been working successfully,
producing 15 per cent from fresh
bones and 8 per cent from cooked
bones, besides animal feed from the
residue.
The meat situation it is declared is
much better in Germany now than it
was a few weeks back, so that heavy
workers will be able to have 300
grammes weekly instead of 200 or
250.
Potatoes still continue to be scarce
and the entire empire is facing the
prospect of being put on a three and a
half pound ration weekly in the near
future.

' NOW OR NEVER
FOR GERMANY
The first German theory was that
France could be eliminated before
Britain’s strength could be accumu
lated. The present theory seems to
be that Britain can be eliminated be
fore America’s strength can be made
to count. But the Germans undoubt
edly know that if they fail within the
next few months they are utterly lost.
In a war of attrition our resources
would be decisive.
Unless the Germans can succeed at
once they must fail terribly. Germa
ny has never been willing to face a
prolonged siege, because it can end
only one way. Her superior technique
is discounted if it cannot be used for
;a quick decision. The proclamation of
unlimited submarine warfare means
that Germany faces and cannot en
dure a war of resources. She strikes
therefore violently at England, the
backbon ? of the coalition.
If Germany fails to bring England
'down suddenly she will have raised up
another England, will have more than
■ doubled the power of her enemies, be
cause America possesses exactly
those resources which would be con
clusive in a long war. We may take
it is certain, therefore, that 'he chan
cellor spoke the truth when he said
Germany was now staking everything.
This is indeed her last chance. It is
the only weapon she has left, and it is
a weapon which will make her or
break her in a very few months. Urn
decision is the strongest possible evi
dence that Germany needs a quick
■ peace.
If she dared to face a long war it
would be military madness to draw in
the United States. Isn’t it madness
anyway ? The answer to that ques
tion depends on the effectiveness of
the submarine, an<i on that point no
one is competent to speak. We may
be certain of one thing, however. The
more moderate elements in German
politics have not yielded without con
sidering the possibility of failure.—

AMERICAN “KING
QUITS CHINA JOB
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March 8.
—Meet King Francis, of Wanshein,
Szechuen province, China. He has
just arrived here on the liner Shinyo
Maru, from the Orient.
A year ago he was merely Francis
G. Prescott, of Boston, manager of
Standard Oil Co. properties in Wan
shein, a remote town of northern
China. In that district he reignW to
king for several months.
“During the revolution which fol
lowed the death of Yuan Shi Kai,"
he said on his arrival here, “pirates
and rebels began arriving at Wan
shein in droves and the regular offi
cials fled. Of course I had to protect
our company’s property. r
“Pretty soon the people began to
gather at my office and we arranged
for the defense of the province. We
saved the town. The people got the
idea that 1 did it, and they made me
uler. Maybe they didn't call me king
but that’s what it amounted to. They
gave me a beautiful palace worth
$500,000 to live in, and had a proces
sion and wanted to kill a few people
for my benefit.
“On one occasion when I received a
visit from Victor Murdock, the Kan
sas editor, the people wanted to have
an execution or two in honor of his
arrival.”
After the pirates and rebels had
been repeatedly driven off and ^uiet
restored, the regular officials re
turned, said Prescott, and he succeed
ed in convincing the people that he
didn’t want to be ruler.
