TIDES OF GOLD
Several happenings, of more or less
import, i•rve focused the vrir d'i at-
tention ulon the subject cf gr.ld is
it tr• e that we are soon to rim short
of goad? ran it be that re have al-
ready done it..? It is a long way
from the gold mine to the apple man
on the curb, but many are asking if
the apple man's trouble didn't begin
with the gold mine.
There is no doubt that some coun-
tries are feeling the pinch of gold
scarcity. England has less than she
had before the war, although the
United States has twice as much.
Gold is a strange, mysterious ally. It
can make or ruin you.
It is on land governed by Great
Britain that most of the gold pro-
duced in the world to -day is mined.
Yet it is England who finds herself
losing gold. France, which produces
but little, has gained in the last two
years more than all the gold produced
in British possessions. The United
States, too, has made large additions
to its gold. But it is not from gold
mines that nations get their gold. It
is from trade. It is trade that is tak-
ing the gold away from England, trade
which England ruled so long with such
a comanding hand.
It all comes from the gold standard
toward which the world has been
struggling back with many agonies.
Before the war practically every
country in the world had adopted the
gold standard. That is, each country
defined its monetary unit --dollar,
pound, franc—as containing a fixed
amount of gold. You could take a
five -pound site b the Bank of Eng-
land and get five pounds' worth of
gold for it, just as you could take a
five -dollar bill to the United States
'Treasury and get five dollars in gold
for it. Gold circulated freely in all
these countries. There was practical-
ly no gold problem from 1900 up to
the time of the war. The mines of
-the world were producing ample gold
for the world's needs.
When the war came all this was
changed. Almost every country ex-
cept the United States suspended the
operation of its gold standard. The
reason was obvious. People who had
money in war-torn countries wanted
to send it out of such a country. But

nation's credit is geed ita .people do
not have to awry about ,gold, That
is the situation in the United States
to -day. Butit is different in many
European countries; there is a great
deal of worry about gold and the gold
standard.
Actually gold is used much more
often than many people stop to re-
alize. Within a country it is possible
to settle balances with checks. But
when the business men of one nation
owe the business men of another na-
tion, the debt must be paid in gold.
If English traders buy a hundred mil-
lion dollars' worth of goods from
America, and, America buys ninety
million dollars. which England owes
the United States will cancel ninety
mullion dollars of the English debt.
The ten million which she still 'owes
must be paid in gold. These balances
between countries are always being
settled by movements of gold back
and forth across the ocean and across
frontiers.
iThe flow of gold out of America
just prior to 1928 was reversed short-
ly afterwards when the rates of in-
terest which speculators in Wall
Street were willing to pay went up.
Foreigners began to send in money
for use in the call market. Hundreds
of milliops came in from England,
France, Germany, Belgium, Holland
and Canada. And then the govern-
ments of these countries became a-
ware of what was happening and
measures were taken to prevent the
flight of gold into America. In the
United States the Federal Reserve
Board got frightened at the wildness
of the Wall Street bull, and raised its
rates in an attempt to check specula-
tion. Europe became more alarmed,
and in 1929, the Bank of England
raised its rate for the second time, to
61a per cent.
When the great crash came, money
poured out of America for a short
time, but it was soon checked. While
the gold was leaving America, most
of it went into France, so that now
France's per capita wealth is $40 as
compared with America's $33. In
England the per capita wealth is less
than $2.
if the government of such a country
permitted gold coins to circulate free-
ly, there would very soon have been
an exodus of gold out of the country.
To stop this these countries ceased
minting gold coins and called in all
gold coins as quickly as possible. It
became an offense in most cases to
take gold out of the country.
And the great need of gold was to
pay the nations' debts. The only in-
ternational money that is known is

Surrounded by enormous buildings
which house banks and exchanges and
financial giants there is, in New York
a small two-story building which is
the very heart of the financial capi-
tal of the world. Here in the United
States Assay Office, far down in the
vaults, there is stored one-third of all
the monetary gold in the world—
i more than three and a half billion dol-
lars, all in gold bricks and stacked up
in cases in dark cellars like so much
firewood. This gold is the property
of the United States Government, and
is part of the gold reserve of the
nation. It is the possession of this
vast treasure that makes Wall Street
the money power of the earth.
There is about twenty billion• dol-
lars' worth of gold in the world after
all the centuries of digging and min-
ing. About one half of it—roughly,
about eleven billion dollars—is used
as money gold. The other half is us-
ed in the arts—chiefly in ornaments
and jewelry. Of the monetary gold
about 40 per cent. is held by the
United States, and 20 per cent. by
France. In other words, these two
countries hold 60 per cent. of the
money gold of the world. The United
States has about four and a half bil-
lions, France has over two billions.
Great Britain has only 782 millions,
a little more than a third of the hold-
ings of France.
It is natural for the average man
to ask wleat is the need of this gold.
Is not his ,money good because of the
wealth and strength of the govern-
ment behind it?
If you look at an American five -
dollar bill you will see printed on it:
"The United States of America will

The radio was crooning something
about "lonely evenings." Kay ut-
tered an exasperated exclamation
and shut it off. She was tired of
hearing about lonely evenings. She
had too many of them. "I wonder—"
she meditated, and picked up the
telephone. In a few moments she
was talking to her mother miles
away. "Why haven't I thought of
this before? Itis so nice to talk to
you, Mum!" Kay made it a weekly
habit, from then on!
TROUBLES OF PERSHING IN
GETTING TO THE WAR
What we said so rudely and unex-
pectedly about Col. Lindbergh some
months ago, goes double for Gen.
Pershing. Perhaps it is because of
his appearance—especially the mouth.
Perhaps it is because that soon af-
ter he and the first American conting-
ent arrived in France he walked in-
to an American cook tent one day
and when one of the cooks did not
salute with sufficient promptness or-
dered him to undergo pack -drill or
something else extremely humiliating
and painful. Or maybe again it is
just as it was with the girl and Dr.
Fell. Therefote a wholly impartial.
still less sympathetic article on Gen.
Pershing is not to be expected from
us. His interminable war reminis-
c^aces have not healed the breach
between us, even though in a pro-
fessional sense they have been a kind
of manna. We do not think they
are more boastful than is necessary
Certainly they reveal an attitude of
mind that would have exasperated the
people of the Allied nations had they
been made aware of them at the time.
One would infer from the reminis-
cences that so far as Gen. Pershing
was concerned, the defeat of the

selves and felicitated their country-
men. It would in these circumstanc-
es seem churlish to note that Luden-

"As long as our troops maintained
their morals they would be able to
cope with any enemy, oven with the
strong American divisions. But the
fact Ithet these_ new American re-
inforcements could release English
and French on quiet sectors weighed
heavily against us. This was of the
greatest importance and helps to ex-
plain the influence exerted by the
American contingent on the issue of
the conflict. It wag for this reaso z
that America becanse the
factor in the war."
Central Powers was a secondary and
even subsidiary aim, the grand object
being to build up a complete Ameri-
can army under his own command.
He even was prepared to face the
possibility that the French and the
British armies might be defeated_ be-
fore complete in evgry detail; after
which it was his intention, if fate
thus decreed, to go out and defeat
the Germans single-handed. It is
true that in one crisis he modified
this Cardinal principle, which n
fairness to him we must admit was
also an obsession of President Wilson.
The President, of course, has made it
clear that the Americans were net
one of the Allies. They were an as-
sociated power. But it seems that
both Wilson and Pershing for an ab-
stract principle were ready to risk'
supreme disaster. An unnecessary
acreage of France and Belgium were
soaked with blood because of Persh-
ing's insistence.
H. B. Liddell Hart, the British
military critic, says: "A cynic might
even say that the war for Pershing
consisted of 15 months' fighting at
the rear and two months' fighting
at the front." 'klis fighting at the
rear was composed of two separate
but interlocking wars. One was with
the Governmefif at Washington which
was not giving the American armies
being raised in the United States
the sort of training Gen. Pershing
desired. The other was a battle with
the Allies on two chief fronts. One
was that Britain was not giving the
United States enough ships to trans-
port American troops. The other
was that Foch, Clemenceau, Haig,
Robertson, and practically all the
chief allied generals desired that the
Americans, as soon as they had com-
pleted a certain period of training,
should be put to work as reinforce-
ments for British or French armies,
which had been continuously engaged
for more than three years. The.
Americans were appallingly slow in
'arriving in Europe, and for some
months it seemed that the Allies,
once the United States had entered
the war, were not particularly anxi-
ous about the appearance of their
fighting battalions.
But the withdrawal of Russia made
' an important difference. American
help was urgently needed. It was
not forthcoming, and in answer to
all protests Pershing merely said,
"lack of transport." There were
quarrels and recriminations on this
point. Pershing was asked why the
United States had entered the war
unless it was prepared to move its
troops to the continent where the
war was taking place. Pershing
merely loosed his lips more tightly.
More amiable negotiations ensued in
which Sir Henry Wilson, the emin-
ent marplot and intriguer, took his
obscure but no doubt effective part.
In the end there was an agreement
that for some months the Allies,
which is to say Britain, would pro-
vide sufficient transport for a desir-
ed number of American infantrymen.
But it would not handle equipment
or artillery or cavalry or anything
else. Pershing saw that no matter
how many American infantrymen he
might eventually have under him, he
would be as far ;away as ever from
his grandiose ideal of an American
army, lacking the necessary con-
stituents of that army, which would
include artillery and a dozen other
branches.
There came a time when Pershing
flatly defied Foch, the generalissi-
mo, when he said: "Our army will
fight wherever you may decide, it
will not fight except as an indepen-
dent army." So the American array as

WHEN THE PRINCE PLEASES
HIMSELF
The Prince of Wales is very fond
of tours that take him outside of Bri-
tain because they give him a chance
deciding to do what he pleases. Of course
these tours have -at diplomatic value
to Britain, and the Prince does not
spare himself as the, Empire& great-
est ambassador. But he is freed from
the trammels of exacting offiilcialdom
at home. He can jump from the train
while crossing the Andes. and indulge
in an exciting snowball fight with his
staff, as he did on his previous rvLsit
to South America. He sees more of
the varied and never-ending world
through which he wanders restlessly
as a sort of diplomatic vagabond of
the first order. He is pleasing him-
self.
The Prince delights in breaking out
of the circle that some people would
circumscribe for him. Yet, not as a
modern Haroun-al-schid, seeking
adventures in the byways of our
crowded Bagdads. The most photo-
graphed young man in the world could
not escape detection for five minutes
in this world of modern publicity.
As an example of how the Prince
pleases himself, he happened to stop'
at a dismal hotel at a resort of the
Cape., The weather had spoiled the
season, and things were bad. The
Prince happened to be passing, and
decided this place would do for some
sandwiches and a rest. When he dis-
covered that someone was playing the
piano endeavoring to enveigle the
others into dancing to pass the time,
he went in and danced for an hour,
talking "shop" with the girl in a
travelling troupe, discussing the dis-
advantages of being in the limelight,
generally pleasing himself by pleas-
ing others, in his usual manner.
He prefers the unconventional, the
unexpected, which is only natural in
a young man who finds most of his
day mapped out mechanically for him.
No one looks forward more eagerly
to any "surprise item" in the official
program of duties than the Prince.
Actually he has less opportunity of
pleasing himself than has a bank
clerk with regular hours from 9.30
to 5 p.m.
As all the world knows, when he
can please himself, the Prince prefers
to be in the open air. His keenness
for golf, his enjoyment of point-to-
point racing, his indifference to ten-
nis, his joy in a game of polo, and
his newest thrill, adventuring among
the clouds—all these are regularly
chronicled. It is in the open air, too,
that he really enjoys every moment
of his liberty. Much of thisactivity
is deliberate, however, in his desire
to keep fit and ready for the strenu-
ous life which he has to lead. He will
play a sweaty game of squash raq-
uets, not merely for the game itself,
but because he has to attend some
important dinner party later in the
evening, where he must be at his best
in the inevitable demand for speech-
es. cza
The Prince is not especially inter-
ested in the cinema. He does enjoy
filming big game, which he has tried.
He has no favorite film. star. Harold
Lloyd has interested him as light-
hearted comedian, but beyond this he
has no preference. It is natural that
to one who has seen so much of the
world first-hand, the film version is
not very attractive. He greatly pre-
fers a good dinner party with the
right sort of people to talk .to.
The clever -clever talk of Blooms-
bury intellectuals irritates him. He
likes to talk of men who have trav-
elled, the tales of camp fires and the
sea, the talk of men who have done
and seen many things.
"If I were not the Prince of Wales,"
I once heard him say—and everybody
leaned forward expectantly= `there is
cne job that I would delight to tackle.
Special correspondent to a newspaper.
Going out after a 'story.' It must be
one of the finest jobs in the world."
And the Prince is particularly fond
of reading the newspaper—the ac-
counts of his activities as written by
others. He . can criticise them with
the sureness of a born newspaperman
Often he has observed more than the
official observer.
The Prince really enjoys himself at
dinner parties that are not official. He
will exchange experiences up and
down the world. He will argue about
the respective merits of Long Island
and Brooklyn, and then tell a good
American story with perfect Amleri-
can intonation. He enjoys American
slang. He certainly enjoys it more
than most Englishmen, and can dis-
cuss the intricacies of "shooting crap."
Then, in the next breath, he will
be conversing about India with one of
his guests who has spent some time
there. He has a surprising fluency of
Hindustani, especially since he spent
only a few months travelling there.
Yet within that short time he acquir-
ed a knowledge of the language that
would be envied by more than one
iunior member of the Indian Civil
Service. Thjs fluency of languages is
a notable characteristic of the Prince.
He is probably the best linguist a-
mong the Royal family. It is helped
tremendously by the musical ear, that
the Prince possesses. There is no one
to equal hitn, in "picking up" a mel-
ody.
Sitting round a camp fire, singing
songs and strumming his banjulele, is
the ideal sort of entertainment that
the Prince enjoys. Boyish, perhaps.
But then there are too many old young
Men in the world. The Prince is too
much a mean of action, too eager for
iiew adventures, new scenes, and new
meetings with men, ever to become
sophisticated and bored. He has been
known, when voyaging on a warship,
to take his banjulele with him down
for an ereening among the midshipi en,
MURDERED TO SAVE POLICE
REPUTATIONS
New York is said to be more deep-
ly stirred by the killing of Vivian
Gordon than by any .murder since
that of Rosenthal. There have been
more sensational murders. People of
more prominence have been involved.
There have been murders with more
mysterious and horrible details. But
the Vivian Gordon murder is one of
particular significance in its plain
suggestion that the woman was
strangled because she was about to
appear before an investigaltor land!
give evidence against the police. The
implication is that she was murdered
by the police or by some hireling of
the police. This may be erroneous,
'but for the moment it is inescapable.
The Rosenthal murder in its ramifica-
tions was .the most sensaitional .per-
haps in New York history. It prov-
ed a league between the police and
the underworld and brought about one
,9f those periodical upheavals in the
police force which thrill the public
and have little permanent effect. The
Rosenthal case was also memorable
in that the criminals were caught and
punished, and among them was one
man who had supposed himself to be
above the law. This was Police Lieu-
tenant Charles Becker, who went to
the electric chair. As we remember
it, he left a message of farewell to
his wife, whose sad eloquence recall-
ed the epitaph that Thomas, Carlyle
wrote for Jane Welsh.
Vivian .Gordon, divorced wife of
John Bischoff, a United States mar-
shal, was an attractive woman in the
forties. Some of her early training
seems to have been acquired in
Guelph, but no Guelphlike atmosphere
attended her later career. For some
time she appears to have made a liv-
ing in the lower reaches of the the-
atrical world, later becoming a figure
in the night life of the metropolis.
But she did not go completely to the
dogs, for when she died she was
worth between $30,000 and $40,000.
She had various protectors. Eight
years ago she fell into the hands, of
the police and. was sentenced to a
few months' imprisonment for prosti-
tution. She never ceased to assert
that she had been wrongfully convict-
ed and one theory is that the com-
munication which she wished to make
to Isadore Kresel, investigator of po-
lice magistrates' courts, had to do
with that incident. But that' is hard-
ly likely, since it was so long ago,
and the statute of limitations offers
ample protection to anyone involved
in it, no matter how culpable he may
have been.
On February 7th she wrote a note
to Mr. Kresel, asking to be heard.
Sometime in the night of February
26th she was strangled, and her body
thrown out of a car, to be found by
a passing motorist near the entrance•
to a city park early next morning.
As soon as it had been identified de-
tectives were despatched to her apart-
ment and there they discovered among
other things a diary which she had
scrupulously posted up • to date and
which is expected to throw a strong
light on the motive for the crime, if
not indeed to indicate the perpetra-
tors. On the night of her death she
was known to have been in the com-
pany of two men who took her home
in a motor, dropping her maid, and
then continued with the woman to
sopie unknown destination, perhaps to
the rendezvous with death. The fact
that her outer garments were miss-
ing suggests that she was murdered
in some room, and the body later car-
ried away in tho car. A rope was
found knotted round her throat.
Three people who said they heard a
woman screaming that she was being
murdered have disappeared.
The Rosenthal murder took place
in June, 1912. Herman Rosenthal was
a professional gambler. He was oblig-
ed to pay the police for protection but
in the end their exactions became in -
'supportable, and he appealed! to Dis-
trict 'Attorney Whitman, offering to
tell what he knew alai reveal the ex-
tent of police extortions upon the
gamblers of the city. He had several
interviews with Whitman and a date
was set when he should appear before
a grand jury and give testimony un-
der oath. Two days before this he
made an affidavit which was published
in the World, in the course of which
he alleged that Police Lieutenant
Becker was his, partner, the partner-
ship having been forced upon him.
Within forty-eight hours Rosenthal
was called to the entrance of the
Hotel Metropole where an automobile
was drawn up. A stream of lead
from automatic pistols was turned on
him and he fell dead, while the car
roared away, unchecked and all but
unnoticed.
When the police made their report
they gave the wrong number of the
car, but it happened that a spectator
had noted the correct numfber and
when this was handed to the District
Attorney he was on the trail that was
to end in the death house at Sing
Sing. A't the trial, which shook New
York, it was proved that the actual
murderers were four notorious char-
acters 'of the underworld, Gyp the
Blood, Whitey Lewin Lefty Louie and
Dago Franka bop crazed Jews acid
Italians. It was also proved that

there to start a lively concert.
No one is more, eager for the new
enthusiasms. The latest song, the
latest dance, the latest aeroplane—all
these things intrigue him as they do
most men of his age. And that mod-
ernism in him is emphasized by the
finality with which he rejects the so-
called delights of yesterday.
He rarely plays a game of cards.
Gambling bores him. It means sitting
too long in over -stuffy, hot rooms.
There have been occasions when of-
ficial duties necessitated his staying
in some such tiresome atmosphere for
an hour or two. And he has not pro-
tested. But the moment he is free to
go, he will probably walk directly to-
ward his own car, take the wheel and
go rushing into the night, like a,
young man in search of freedom.
But the Prince has a serious side
which is often lost in the flippant
descriptions of his activities. 'He is
one of the generation that passed
through the War, and he saw more of
the horrors of war than the sensa-
tional films of to -day portray. Apart
from what he saw on the actual front,
he visited hundreds of heapitals. There
is nothing better than a hospital ward
for sterilizing the romance out of war.
Yet the Prince is still• a soldier.
The discipline of the army appeals to
him, for he disciplines himself as sev-
erely as any man in the ranks. It is
this spirit of the soldier that makes
him, in leisure moments, read mili-
tary history with unusual keenness.
The writer once spent some weeks
tramping and motoring with the
Prince and his party over the battle-
fields of the Boer War. Majuba, Mod -
der River, Colenso—all were keenly
visited and eagerly inspected. He was
anxious to see everything and to visit
everyone who could tell him about
the happenings of the war.
His knowledge of the military pos-
ition during the great war was un-
canny. He knows where certain di-
visions happened to be at certain
times. He will even tell you about
certain popular songs and when they
were being sung.
In his meeting with ex -service men
one realizes the deeply sober attitude
with which the Prince regards the
modern world. He is keenly critical
of men and affairs. That criticism is
based on his own very wide experi-
ence. He sums up the qualities of a
man quickly, and is usually correct.
For he is a keen psychologist with an
instinct for knowing his man, as soon
as he shakes hands, which suggests
feminine sureness.
In the healthy attitude by which he
pl?ases himself the Prince gives the
lie to the rumors of decadence in
Great Britain. There is net a young
country in the world but would wel-
come him as the epitome of its own
youth. And yet, he is the official re-
presentative of one of the oldest
countries in the world.
WEEKLY VISITING
Paul and Dora worked in the city,
many miles from mother and the
home town. It occurred to thein that 4iV'
weekly trips by Long Distance would
save there all a lot of loneliness. So
it was arranged—and what fun they
get out of these frequent "voice
visits!" Their mother wouldn't miss
them for anything. And neither would
they.
The United States Circuit Court of
Appeals has ruled that the Eighteenth
Amendment is legal. So is a trip to
Mars.
Some of these business men wel-
come the few dollars they get from
writing their success stories, these
days!
