Uncle Sam Fixes New Rates for Foreign Exchange Uncle Sam has finally awakened to the fact that foreign currency has depreciated in value. Postmasters throughout the United States have been instructed to sell international money orders under a new scale for the conversion of American dollars into international money orders that closely approximates their relative exchange values.

The money of eight countries is much cheaper under the new scale. For instance, the francs of Belgium, France and Italy are available at half their former values. For ?10 one can now purchase 103 francs. Formerly only 51 francs and 50 centimes could be purchased for $10. The English pound sterling, formerly $4.87 for $5, is now an even $4. Five dollars y ill now purchase 25 Norwegian and Danish kroners, where formerly only 18 kroner and 49 ore could be obtained for this amount. Money order departments say the change will cause an enormous increase in the vclume of foreign money orders. Switzerland is the only country where the exchange rates have not changed. Our dollar is worth just the same there today as it was before the war. Under the present rates an American dollar is worth: $1 equals 10.30 francs in France, Belgium and Italy. ; $1 equals 5.15 francs in Switzerland. $1 equals 5 krona to. Denmark and Norway. I $1 equals 44.17 krona in Sweden. $1 equals 2.63 florin in Netherlands. $1 equals 5 shillings in England. No international money order business is done with Russia, Poland or Germany.

Americans Can't Sell t Liquor in Argentina BUENOS AIRES, Aug.. 20. President Irigoyen's administration has just announced through Finance Minister Salaberry that it will oppose the prohibition bill recently introduced into the Chamber of Deputies. Nevertheless, an official move in favor of the restriction of the liquor traffic is seen in the terms of the reciprocal commercial travellers' treaty recently agreed upon between United States Ambassador Stimson and the President. This treaty, which will probably be drawn up and signed in Washington during Ambassador Stimson's visit there on leave, will provide for a single Federal license for American salesmen in Argentina, instead of licenses for each province, but will exclude them from selling alcoholic beverages under it. The prohibitive clause was requested by President Irigoyen, it 1 learned. It was accepted by the

ipvlt-ed States government noiwitns'unding the fact that no such clause
