2 FLOOD OF SILVER AT GETTYSBURG Pay For Camp Colt Soldiers Largely Made Up of Heavy Metal Dollars Gettysburg, Pa., Aug. B.—Gettys burg is flooded with silver dollars. Six hundred of the big "wagon wheels" were turned loose in the town when the men of Camp Colt got their monthly pay within the past few days. Payday began last Saturday and continued until all the men of the different battalions had -netved their money and they at once proceeded t orid themselves of the big silver pieces that no one wishes to carry around. They were at once offered in payment for neces sary articles ar ! the business places of the town and within a compare lively short time it is likely that all of them had been disposed of. The merchants in turn presented them to the banks, notwishing to be burdened with them. The reason for using this unwleld lv money in paying the soldiers was the existing shortage of one dollar hills. The government printing presses, it is said, have been rushed so much with Liberty Bonds and bills of large denominations that they have fallen behind with the silver certificates.
