DENVER, April "What is belieed to be the oldest piece of United States currency extant has been unearthed here from an old trunk in the home of Mrs. Elizabeth A. Mittell of this city. I The history of the currency which has been handed down through several generations of the 1 1 it el I family, dates back nearly 10 years to the time when American paper currency was first printed. It was known as 'Continental money" and was printed shortly after 1770, following an act of con- 1 gress. which directly defied the British edict that colonial money should not b- printed or coined, and tint that which was iierl would not be accepted as bgal t-ndrr. j JUvddoiits of K mucky. j Mrs. Hittt'H's. :nKitiir. were residents of Kentucky and the attitude that the noney was worthless was kss prenounced in that section than in ;uiy other part of the country. I'eople in the .south hid faith that the money would bo rIemable at its fare value some d i and that is thv rt'.'i.-on givrn for the 1 1 it toll family retaining some of the currency, in-Uad of throwing it away as was bir.q done by people in other sections of the land. The Briii-h, Ending that their armies could accomplish little in checking the circulation of the Continental, or "rag mon-y," turned to the process of flooding the country with counterfeit currency as a means of making it usd'-s. ThU method was entirely effective. Obsequies Oor (.'uricney. When all ellorts by the Colonial to tjink' tho money valid n found tuti'e, and the "rag iuhiih" was v.i, rib r.o more th:iii th paper u;.o;i whi h it was printed, the residents of the little town in -vhich trie Ilittell fainiiy iv-d held mock ol-a .(ui's o r th currency. .Uvwrdihg" t J oii. tory told, n ri''ery store was plastered with th iMitriiey and a horse was tarred. -!tic! oer Willi the bills and lid th'ouh the i!laL-e str ts.

tritip rmt even these and no-

tably Germany and Austria are doing everything in their power to escape the treaty clauses and increase their armies to a much larger basis than is now stipulated. Even the United States, presumably the most peaceful country in the world, has failed to escape from the mania for increased armies which "the last war" has entailed. Coupled with the increased cost of living, these increased armaments and their increased cost of maintenance will throw on the people of every country in the world a military burden infinitely larger and more crushing than was borne before the war. The only thing that makes It seem supportable at all is that if it is more than what it was before the war, it is at least less tharf what the military' expenses were during the war. While all nations of the world have not yet succeeded in reorganizing their armies on the basis which the recent war appears to have rendered necessary, yet in almost every country the reorganization projects are under consideration, and there Is not a single one that does not provide for an increase over what the military effectives and costs were before the war. While, theoretically, the question of the military force to be maintained is purely an internal one which every country has a right to settle for Itself, yet as a matter of fact, every country, as ha.s always been the case in the past, is obliged to govern the size of its military effectives and strength by what its neighbors are doing. Likewise as In the past. Germany Is still the world's predominating factor in this respect. The peace treatv originally reduced the German army to lOO.f.OO men. Liter this was temporarily increased to 200.H00 i" order to enable Germany to meet internal troubles and possible bolshevik assaults from without. In reality, the most accurate Information from Germany shows that she still has 1..000 men under arms. These consist of her regular army of 400,000 men; of 12,0 00 soldiers temporarily serving with the marine: and four large organizations attached to the ministrv of the interior for internal defense totaling over 6e0,00( men. With very indication and certainty that Germany intends to maintain r. murh of tier military strength ns

possible every European country is; forced to take this into consideration t in her own army reorganization. j England, for example, has defin- i itelv decided upon her new arm or- j ganization which is for 4S;..00f men) divided into 14 division and organ-j ized into a regular and a territorial, armv. The budget for this military 1 organization is 123. 000.000 pounds, s.s against 29.n00.000 pounds be- ' r-re the war. This mean? a militarv . burden four times larger than be- i fore the war. Naturally, the size of England's army. Jut as much as the size of. German's army, dictates the size for every other- country. , At Washington despite the recom- ' mer.datlons of Scc'y Paker for an .Tmy of ."00,000 men. the prevent

With the necessity of furnishing the

-:reat hulk of the troops that are io hold down the occupied portion

of Germany for the next 15 or r.O i

years, as well as furnishing the great bulk of tho troops for all the foreign expeditions necessary for enforcing all the various clauses of the peace treaty, l-"rance hasn't a ghost of a chance of decreasing her pre-war military burden either in men or financially. While Sweden appointed a commission to see if her regular army could not be replaced by militia, the force of military events and increased military organization on every hand caused this commission to go out of business last December. In Holland, the action of the chamber in suppressing a military budget of 1.S00.000 florins caused the war minister to resign. Hungary' is more determined than ever that the peace conference shall let her have a larger army than originally conceded. Put the military pretentions and consequential burdens of Germany, Hungary and the other defeated states are tame Indeed compared with those of the new states that have been born out of the war. All of the new border states that have come out of Russia, for example, insist on maintaining armies that will be an increase rather than decrease over what the Russian army was before the war. Poland, Czecho-Slovakia. Romania. Serbia all feel that their existence depends upon military strength. While they haven't even had time to think about reorganizing their armies on a peace time basis, it is absolutely certain that whenever that time comes, each will insist on an individual army that taken altogether will more than offset any reduction that might have

I been hoped for by the breaking up j of the old time military levy of Ger

COLUMBUS, O.. April 2?. Increased wages paid labor are responsible for at lea?t y5 p rcent of the advance in the cost of building materials, according to local dealers. Brick and lumber have advanced in price from 0 0 to 100 percent during the past year. "People fail to realize that th men who cut down trees, haulers, sawmill hands, trainmen, city draymen and all workmen having to do with the marketing of materials demanded and received increases in pay last year," declared a Columbus wholesaler. "The same Is true of brick. From the clay digger to the hauler who delivers brick on the job. every man ha.s been given higher wage." Common brick, now selling at from $21 to $25 per 1,000, sold at $1S last year and at $8 and $10 three years ago. Face brick Is selling at $33 and $40. A year ago it sold at $20 and ?2T.. Cement which sold at 30 cents three years ago Is selling at $1.05 per 100 pounds. Mortar underwent a similar jump. Lumber has jumped up 100 percent during the past 12 montlvs and nails have leaped from R5 cents to $5 a keg. Hardware articles, including locks, have advanced from 20 to C 31-3 percent.
