BOOSTS PRICE OF
MONEY ORDERS
The British Postal Authorities
Causes Loss to
Americans
London, Nov. B.—By increasing
the cost of money orders payable in
the United States front 8 cents to 72
cents for every pound sterling, the
postal authorities have blocked an
avenue whereby Americans were
able to send money home without
incurring any loss Incident to the
low rate of British exchange on
America. m
Throughout the period of depreci
aUon of English money in the United
States, the international postal rate
of exchange has remained constant
at 4.87. So by resorting to money
orders instead of to bank drafts,
which were governed by the daily
rate of exchange, and often 60 or
more points below the postal rate,
those who wished to transfer money
from this country to the other side
were enabled to do so at the nominal
expense of less than 10 cents for
every $5. I
There was a limit, however, to
the amount that could be sent in
this way, the authorities during the
war restricting it to 100 pounds a
week for each individual.
One American business man in
London avoided serious loss by using
this means of transferring his capi
tal to his home city in Ohio. Of
course, many weeks were required
to effect this particular transfer, as
the amount involed was several
thousand pounds, but he got it all
throught just before the price of
money orders was so radically
boosted.
So far the American postal
authorities have not altered the cost
of money orders payable in this
country. An American banker here
pointed out to the correspondent
that the situation created by the
action of the British postal authori
ties places the American public at
a disadvantage. especially those
persons living. in country districts
where banking facilities are limited
and who must rely on the postal
money-order service.

RESERVE HOTEL
FOR AMERICANS
Will Be Opened at Romagne,
Where Military Ceme
tery Is Located
Paris, Nov. B.—The first hotel In
France, reserved exclusively for
American fathers and mothers who
have crossed the ocean to visit the
graves of their dead, will bo opened
at Romagne, where is located the
largest American military cemetery
in France. Here sleep more than
21,500 American boys who laid down
their lives in the war.
Now that passport restrictions are
being lifted, many American parents
are coming to France every day to
visit the graves of the American sol
diers. Some mothers come alone,
and not knowing French costumes
and language, suffer many discom
forts finding the way to their btoy's
grave. Many wish to remain a day
or two at the cemeteries which are
some distance from the * nearest
towns, but until now there have been
no accommodations.
Similar hotels will be established
later at other American cemeteries.
The second one will probably be
plaged at St. Quentin.
After Romagne, the next largest
cemetery is the one at Thiaucourt
with 4,200 graves. Among the other
large American cemeteries are:
Beaumont, 750 graves; Fismes, 1,-
800 graves; Ploisy, 1,885 graves;
Juvigny, 416 graves; Fera-on-Tarde
nois, 3,500 graves; Belleau, 2,500
graves; Bony, 1,800 graves, and Vil
liers-Tournelle, 400 graves.
Say Salmon Failure Is
Due to Dry Season
Juneau, Alaska, Nov. 8. Many
persons engaged in the salmon fish
eries for years attribute the failure
of Alaska's salmon run this year to
the dry season in 1915. In that sea
son the streams were so dry that
salmon could not ascend.
According to the theory that sal
mon return to fresh water when four
years of age to spawn and die, this
year's short run of the fish would
be explained.
Others, however, take a more
pessimistic view. E. P. Kendall,
general manager of one of the coun
try's largest can companies, asserts
Alaskan waters are being fished out.
To save the salmon industry, he be
lieve, the stream must be immedi
ately cleaned out and the natural
spawning grounds protected.
Mr. Kendall, advocating a meeting
this winter at Seattle between the
canners and representative Alaska
citizens, said he was confident that
every canner of the north would co
operate.

MACKENSEN IS
UNDER GUARD
Former German Field Mar
shal Is Interned Out
side Saloniki
Saloniki. Nov. B.—Field Marshal
August Von Mackensen, who com
manded the German forces which
invaded Rumania, and his staff have
been brought here by the French
military authorities from Northern
Serbia and interned just outside the
city. The German
and his officers are permitted freely
to go about the streets, -But they
usually are accompanied by a
French officer. The correspondent,
however, observed two of their num
tfcr riding horseback on the outskirts
of the city without guards. Each
officer wore an Iron Cross and dis
played a pride and bravado not quite
In keeping with men whose army
had been vanquished.'
Mackensen had been given a large
and comfortable house opposite the
French aviation field and overlook
ing the Aegean Sea. It was for
merly occupied by the higher French
officers and is elegantly furnished.
A day or two after his arrival the
field marshal strolled through the
roadways of the British military en
campment, which is many acres In
extent, and was amazed at the thor
oughness and completeness of every
thing. The British have since with
drawn from this encampment.
The German generalissimo has
changed little in appearance since
the war and apparently is not wor
rying greatly over what fate he may
suffer at th% hands of the Allies.
The general impression is that he
will be interned here until the Allies
are ready to try him. It is felt the
most serious charge against him is
his wanton destruction of the rail
roads and other property in Ru
mania after the signing of the ar
mistice.
Mexico Does Not
Recognize Debts
Huerta and Carvajal
Mexico City, Nov. B.—The Mexi

debts contracted by the Victoriano
Huerta and Francisco Carvajal
regimes and will not pay any claims
based upon damages
the period these two m 6 nwere presi
dent, according to a statement issued
by Luis Cabrera, secretary of the
treasury. This was evoked by an
assertion, credited to Senator Fall,
of the United States Senate commit
tee investigating Mexican affairs,
that the present government has
such financial responsibilities.
Secretary Cabrera declared the
presidencies of Huerta and Carvajal
were anti-democratic and unconsti
tutional and imposed no obligations
on the present government.

The writer declaces that during
the past few weeks he has had re
peated opportunity to witness the
training in a military sense of chil
dren between 12 and 16 years of age,
on a big field in Charlottenburg.
The training waa carried out in
the same way as TTuriqg the best
days of the imperial regime. The
man in charge was a lieutenant, and
noncommissioned officers conducted
the training, with the use of all the
military curs* and command terms
used in the old army.

Books and the Child
THE influence of good books In the life of a child cannot well be
overestimated. Through reading he gains knowledge of great
men and women, forms his ideals, follows the development of
his age in science and invention and comes in touch with the great
stories and legends of all races and all times. "Childhood is a ten
der thing," says Plutarch, "and easily wrought into shape • • •
As soft evax is apt to take the stamp of the seal, so are the minds
of children to receive the instructions imprinted upon them at
that age."
Give children only the best. Nothing less is worthy of them:
they have time only for the best. One who grows to manhood
without knowledge of Mother Goose, Robinson Crusoe, Tom Sawyer,
Alice in- Wonderland. 'Pom Brown, Robin Hood, Childe Roland and
King Arthur, Ulysses and Siegfried, with all the pageantry and
romance of great literature, has lost something of the Joy of life,
which may not be made up in adult years. Good books in the home,
in the school, in the library, all should invite the child to read, to
grow in knowledge and in power of imagination, develop individual
taste and creative ability.
ALICE R. EATON,
Librarian.
BOOKS SOME WELL KNOWN
WRITERS READ AS CHILDREN
What was the sort of book that
you liked best when you were a
child? Did you revel in the adven
tures of "Robinson Crusoe" of a
rainy afternoon, or vision goblins
and falryfolk about you as you
poured over that ancient volume of
the Brothers Grimm on an Indian
summer afternoon in the woods?
Some of our well known authors of
to-day enjoyed these particular
volumes as children. Others ran
far apart in their respective Juve
nile tastes. William Dean Howells
found his earliest literary Joys in
Goldsmith, Cervantes, and Irving.
Hugh Walpole, read "Alice in
Wonderland," while Amy Lowell's
earliest love for reading found its
outlet in the Rollo books.
During Children's Book
when all over the United States, li
brarians, schools, publishers and
booksellers are making a drive for
"More Books in The Home," it is
of timely interest to think for a
moment on children's books in
vogue when those people who are
making our own book world to-day
were children. The following com
ments speak for themselves.
William Dean Howells.
In his book "My Literary Pas
sions," William Dean Howells tells
at length of the bookshelf at home
and what it meant in shaping his
future career. This "library" in his
home of the Ohio printer's family
back in the 60's, was "just a case of
a very few shelves" "but lacking it,
what home would never have given
the world one of its chief literary
men of the 19th century. Small as
the collection was, it seems to have
held many of the most important
books; a modern parent could do
much worse than model a library
for a growing family on the list Mr.
Howells gives in "My Literary Pas
sions."
"When I began to have literary
likings of my own," he says, "and to
love certain books above all others,
the first authors of my heart were
Goldsmith, Cervantes and Irviag. In
the sharply foreshortened perspec
tive of the past I seem to have read
them all at once, but I am aware of
an order of time in the pleasure
they gave me, and I know that
Goldsmith came first. He came so
early that I cannot tell when or how
T' began to read him but it must
have been before I was ten years
old." And then Mr. Howells goes on

to tell at length of the joys Gold

brought to him.
Hugh Walpole
"I was brought up, nearly thirty
years ago now," writes the young
English author, Hugh Walpole, in
the good old-fashioned way and we
had Sunday . books very distinct
from week-day books. I learned to
read very late —I think r must have
been eight years old berore I could
read properly, and the two books I
learned from, were 'Lottie's Visit to
Grandma' and 'Alice in Wonder
land.' Lottie went on a visit to the
sea-side and I can see now the way
the seashore expanded before my
eyes as I read and the beautiful
birthday party that Lottie had and
a lovely wdrkbox that someone gave
her. _
'Alice' introduced me to fantasy
whose adoring servant I have been
ever since. Do children still love
'Alice?' I believe so, but the Rabbit
and the Typhoon and the Mock Tur
tle cannot seem so marvelous to the
modern child as they did to us. Our
lives were so vastly more restricted,
I had hardly entered a theater be-
