Golden*. often Wondered why"ihe ar
rest of every vital fit not Ion sTt^ultl be
considered polite. He distrusted lliftt
German salute'. It was loo much like
playing 'possum.
When the l/uA?ruielsier came Into
the ortskonunnntmntur, the ahl told
him that. In so far as lie behaved him
self, he would have nothing to fear
from the American army; and that In
ho far as It didn't Interfere with the.
satisfaction of American interests, he
was to continue governing I he town as
usual.
The hurgcrmelstor stiffened himself
and withdrew.
The aid was pleased. His first ofll
clnl act, he fell, had been kindly, .vet
firm, just hut not harsh. If he had his
way, It?? would not suffer as north
ern France had suffered. He was go
ing to show these bodies that the
Americans weren't there to terrorize,
or to Americanize, but simply to oc
cupy territory according to the terms
of the armistice.
Hut by could m?t see the scene in the
bgrgermelster's oflice overhead-?the
holding of cheeks in hands, th;? strik
ing or chesls. the weary and rapid
breathing of bewilderment, the grouus
of despair. And the next morning,
when he went to the ortskonnnandun
tur, he was met by a request that he
grant an audience to his Herman col
league. It wsis 10 o'clock, the exact
hour of yesterday's meeting.
lie granted the request, and in a
moment the shaved rat slid in through
n slit in the. open door and ran his
tongue over his pink lips. Ills little
black eyes shone like shoe buttons,
and he kept scratching the palms of
his Imnds.
He wanted to know *lf the Herr
Choriontnunt- bad any orders for him.
The Herr Oberlcutiinnt wanted to
know why.
"Aeli!" cried the hurgeriueister, "he
fore the Americans came we had n
government. Now weJuid none. How,
then, can i run the town of H ns I
used to run it? There is no one to tell
me what to do. If only the Ilerr Ober
leutnant would express his wishes!"
The aid narrowed his eyes and
looked at him In disgust.
"Have the streets cleaned." he said,
and turned to his work.
The lace of the burgomaster was
radiant. He had found a boss.
In less than thirty minutes a platoon
of bodies was assembled In the street
before the ortskonnnandantnr. 1*1 very
other man carried a broom at .right
shoulder arms and the man at his side
:i shovel. The bunrermeiMer stood on
the steps of the building, with a pencil
in one hand and a long li<? in the
other, and cheeked off their names.
Then. "Hup!" siihl the hurtreitnels

Out of the ranks Jumped four men.
saluted, and faced the platoon.
"Hup!" "aid the tirsr of the four:

brought right down to duto hy tlie sta

Just Issued world figures to the be

When th?' war started In 1014. thir

up to about $?*?!.000,000,000. This Is
outside tho $H4,000,000,000 which. It Is
estimated, the bolshevlst government
has Industriously turned out.
$2,000,000,000 More Gold Reserve.
Meanwhile what was happening to
the gold reserves back of the notes In
the thirty countries? In 1011 they
amounted, roughly, to $5,000,000,000.
They are now about $7,000,000,000.
Notes Ivave thus'increased more than*
700 per cent and gold less tban 50 per

Pack in 1014 the ratlu of gold re

time of the armistice It had fallen to
18.4 pel' cent, while last Christmas
time it bad dropped still lower to 13.7

Some concerns get into a rut
by methods too slow and lax;
while others are shaken up con
siderably, by a pace too fast.
Moving too slow is as retard
ing, as moving too fast is dan
gerous. Push is needed in one
case and restraint in the other.
The First National Bank helps
one of trouble and keeps the
other out, by wise conservative
advice.
