Money as a me-fiu- m of exchange prnctlcally has passed jut of existence In international commer-ti- al dealings In Europe, and Its plate fas been taken by a system of barter. This ha' resulted not to much from th (etllne In the pound sterling as In the utter collapse In value of continental turrencles. ) It may seem Impossible that the primiti- ve- system of exchanging a bushel of wrn for a bucket of coal or for a supply ot dishes could bo established in thest modern times, but that Is exactly what L, happened despite the Intricacies of highly developed International trade.

It may be wondered how the barter system could be carried out, as odvi-cus- ly the actual exhange of a cargo of coal for a shipment of enamel ware cannot be made on the spot In the same way that money changes hands. This Is where the native and foreign bankers are helD'ntr. If the German, for In stance, Is not ready to deliver his goods at the time when he receives tne nip-me- of material under the barter arr- angement, the bank pays for the Im- ported goods and gives him credit until he Is able to complete the manufacture of the articles called for under the barter agreement. This method has caused great ex- pansion of credit, especially In Germany, tut It Is a safe expansion, secured at each step by the goods Involved, and It cuts down Inflation because the prices of articles under such agreements are figured In actual commodity exchange Talus Instead of In terms of depreciated currency.

The success obtained by the Socialists in the general elections seems likely to upset tho unity of the party, In the opinion of prominent poli- ticians, as the most extreme and section of the party thinks inis tne opportune moment to have re- course to a revolution for the overthrow of the present regime and the advent of the proletariat to power. More experienced leaders, however. like Deputy Treves, the Socialist leader In the Chamber, admonish their followers' that the best way to derive an advantage from their success Is to show respect for existing laws and to proceed by evolution rawer than by revolution. The latter, It Is feared, would result In a reaction, which would demonstrate the insignificance of the Minority Socialists compared to the entire population, as the general elections are considered to have shown less than 8 per cent, of the voters are Socialists and that the party was successful only because a majority of the voters aosentea tnemselves from tho polls. Latest reports Indicate the Constitu- tionalists secured 300 seats In the Cham- ber of Deputies In the recent election. The Socialists elected 128 and the Cath- olics 90. \The verdict at the polls has been 'Down with war long live Socialism,' \ says A van 1 of Milan commenting on the result of the elections. BERNSTORFF \FALSE\, SAYS LUDENDORFF Inadequately Reported Amer ican Situation, Is Charge. By te Auociated Press, Berlin, Nov. 18. The vlclousness of Gen. Ludendorffs attack on Count von Bernstorff, the former German Ambassa dor at Washington, was accentuated by the manner of. Its delivery before the of the National Assembly Investigating war responsibility. He de. nled von BernstorfTs version of the con versation between the two, previously In troduced, and declared that it \touches my honor.\ He then continued: \Bernstorff and I are two persons of wholly different tem peraments. Our views are strongly op- posed to each other. He Is quite right If he assumes that J took an unsympa thetic view of Jils work at Washington.\ Gen. .Ludendorff charged von Bern- - stcrff with failure to counteract the Entente propaganda and with \falsely appraising and Inadequately reporting the American situation\ to Wllhelm-stras- s. 'We took American prisoners,\ h added, \who had an entirely wrong or vsgue conception of what they were fighting for.\ Von Bernstorff appeared much sur prised at Ludendorffs sudden outburst He told the committee he did not pro- pose to answer In the same tone and manner. Ha added that his visit to headquarters was the eventual result of a casual suggestion to acquaintances of Gen. Ludendorff, whom he desired to ac quaint with the situation. JURY HOLDS STRIKE LEADERS.

Special Cable Despatch to Tne Hon. Copyright, 1919. all rights reserved. London, Nov. i9. Announcement by the Government of the withdrawal at tho end of the week of .the allowance to unemployed civilians Is causing much concern In labor circles, whero the feci-ni- g la strong that before action was taken the Government should have de- vised a plan for reorganizing Industry that would have absorbed a majority of those at present unemployed. Labor leaders declare that the with drawal of the dole, as tho allowance ts called( will be followed by much dis content and dissatisfaction, wlhch will cause trouble this winter. Members of the parliamentary committee of the Trade Union Congress assert that un- employment could have been absorbed to a consldernDle extent If tho condi tions agreed upon at the Natlonat In dustrial Conference had been observed. These conditions' provided for short time In any Industry during a period of depression; overtime only In special cases In filling the Government contracts. During slack times the powers of the Government were to beused to Introduce afforestation, deal with the reclamation of waste lands, the development of Inland waterways, light railways, roads nnd road transport. H. M. Ifyndmann, a veteran Socialist, says: \If a dole Is necessary It Is surely necessary when It Is taken away to provide for those who lose It.\ The House of Commons y voted In favor of stopping unemployment al- lowances. The subject came up when Sir Robert Home, tho Sllnlster of Labor, asked a supplementary appropriation of 1,500,000 for unemployment payments. The Minister of Labor said the present rate of unemployment was only 2.6 per cent., or about one-ha- if the average for the fifteen years preceding. He de clared there was a certain amount of voluntary Idleness In the country, that deceit was practised In some cases and that some of the Idleness was due to fastidiousness regarding employment. Ho Insisted there was a large quantity of employment available if the workers would accept It. v John R. Clynes, Laborite, moved a reduction of the appropriation as a pro- test against tho Government's policy. His motion was defeated. 217 to 123. The Laborltes protested against stopping the dole on the approach of winter be- cause many 'unemployed would be sub- jected to great hardships. Arthur Hen- derson contended that to throw thou- sands of persons on the poor law relief would be worse than the continuance of the dole Andrew Bonar Law, for the Govern- ment, argued that the only satisfactory solution for the difficulty, and the one at which the Government was aiming, was some scheme of universal com- pulsory insurance against unemploy- ment, to which the workmen themselves would largely contribute. But that was Impossible, he said, until the TJovern-men- t had the good will of the great vil-um- e of orgnnlzed labor In the country. . Labor generally regards the dole as a demoralizing and palliative method of dealing with the situation. The system of doles has been more or less a fail- ure. In effect It has aided the unem- ployed to enjoy a hol day at the ex- pense of the country. Cases have been reported of men and women who drew the dole and lived on their savings plus the dole while manufacturers were at their wits' end to execute orders on hand, until the matter became such a scandal that the employment committees found It necessary to Investigate more than 50 per cent, of the claims for un- employed benefits. In a majority of the cases those who collected the dole paid nothing toward the cost of unemployed Insurance, the Government's plan affecting only work- ers In certain trades, in which the em- ployees paid S cents weekly for an In- surance of pay of $1.76 when out of work.

A French Socialist newspaper which Is unusually well In- formed concerning the Russian situa tion and unquestionably is receiving ad vices from the Uolshcvlkl through under ground channels, reports that the Soviet Government of Russia has opened pour- parlers with the Japanese with a view of bringing hostilities to an end In Siberia, now that Kolchak's defeat has been acknowledged definitely.

The members of tho Government organized under cover of Galda'a revolt have disappeared. The only casualty to Americans was one sailor standing on the deck ot the U. S. S. New Orleans, wounded by a stray shot Two British officers are re- ported to have been killed while doing Red Cross work. The work done by the American Red Cross Is commended, and It Is stated that at noon yesterday they had forty-on- e wounded Russians under their care. INTRIGUE SEEN IN RUSSIAN RETREAT Monarchists Said to Be Han- dicapping Yudenitch. Dr JOHN POLLOCK. Special Calls Despatch to Tne Sen Irom the London Times Service. Copyright, 1919. alt rights reserved. HiLSlNOroRS, Nov. 19. The raplditv and extent of the Russian retreat from Gatchlna Is explicable only on political grounds, according to one theory ad- vanced regarding the arrangement being made between the Russians and the Esthonians. It Is said that the , majority of the Generals In the northwest army, of whom there are thirteen or fourteen, In a force of less than 25,000 men, have Ingrained reactionary opinions and re- gard Gen. Tudenltch as too amenable to democratic considerations. The re treat to Esthonlan territory and the res- ignation of Gen. Yudenitch represent on this theory a plan to remove democratic Influences from the higher command. The plan, In short. Is described as a' monarchist Intrigue, definitely to ruin the northwestern army as constituted under Gen. Yudenitch and so prevent the liberation of Petrograd. It appears obvious that 's move against Riga on October 8 was timed to spoil Gen. Yfdenllch's offensive on tho 11th by drawing off a considerable part of the Esthonlan forces as well as tantalizing reactionary Russian circles with chimerical hopes of German aid. Reliance Is now sup- posed to be placed by those clrcleB on the fact that the new Esthonlan Gov- ernment Is more conservative than Its predecessor, but seclrtg that the Es- thonians are socialistic nnd the adherence of any Esthonlan Government to such Ideas seems prob- lematic. c 5 c 5 c Jail io Be Made lata Food Store.
