MUCH MELTED SILVER IS EXPORTED IX INDIA The melting down of the silver dollar in tho United States treas ury and the exportation of the bar silver resulting and other silver bul lion pos-.ess great Interest to the av erage American citizen. Most of the silver bullion Is snt n India, whose people have a stron;, prejudice in favor of metal money, and India Is exporting a vast amount of material used In the war by Eng land and France, and, in fact, all the entente allies, including our-tl selves. To pay for these goods In the money desired by the people of In dia caused a tremendous drain on he supply of silver of entente allies, and to meet this urgent demand tin United States has taken the great amount of silver bullion and silver dollars lying idle In the treasury and Is exporting it to India to be used In Paying for war supplies. Something Ike a hundred million silver dot lars have been melted down and ex ported what great assistance It was to the allies, including the U. S., la chown by the statement of Sir James Ileston, financial member of tho viceroy's council, who Is reported as raying: "Probably few people In America realize how vitally important to In :ia and to India's share in the war was the lejislation passed in Wash ington releasing large quantities of tilver for use in aleviating the cur rency situation there. For this ac tion India as well as the British em pire and the allies owe a debt of pratitude to the United States which It Is hard to overstate." Phone job orderi to- the Tidings. 3.

Ashland, Oregon FRENCH FIIKKI) AFTKK FOUR YEARS IN GRIP OF FOE The British advance on the north ern part of tho Hindenburg lino has disclosed many pitiful conditions of half, starved refugees, who were hidden In shelled towns amid de bris, and who greet the advancing .amy of English as their saviors. Villages which have been taken at the crest of the advance had previ ously been evacuated by the enemy, li at least one town some French In habitants, Including women, manag ed to hide themselves in the collars and after enduring several days of r.hell fire, first from the approach ing British, then from tho retreating Germans, finally were rescued. When the British patrolB approach el the town of Ecourt St. Quentin three men In civilian clothing emerg ed to meet them. On the strength of the story they told the British troops rushed Into the town and found 46 persons, 30 of whom were vomen, hiding In cellars. They were helped out and came back across the battlefield struggling over shell craters and occasionally menaced by a hall of Indirect maclilno gun fire from the Cermans. It was a Btrango and pitiful pro cession. Both nun and women had been under tho domination of the Germans since September, 1914; they had not seen a single allied foldier since then, for this was the first tlma that tho ground in the locality of their villago had been out of the possession of the Germans since the beginning of tho war. There were unkempt old French men, 3tarlng at tho bare, shell shat tered fields and roads alive with troops, .and women carrying parcels rr limpingly pushing perambulators bearing their few belongings or chil dren across fields wh,re one of the lpost furious battles of the war had been fought. They were almost delirious with Jv as they threaded their way to 'he rear, between long stretches of Kims, ambulances, horses and khaki clad soldiers. On the road they pass ed men who had been wounded or killed, the combination of such s!?hts and their grateful emotions at being delivered from the Gsrnian. herding tears streaming down their thin checks. More than one laughed and cried alternately as they again trod the free soil of France and tried to thank the soldiers who had helped ll:em from their bondage. The three men who had first come out of the town to meet the British returned, but the rest of the party, becoming frightened by the enemy shell fire, had found shelter in the dueouts up at the front. They were tiven warm food and advised to re main there for a while. One man told a story of how when the town was gassed he had search ed around until he found a dead Ger man and removed the gas mask, tak ing It back to his mother, who was hiding In a cellar. On September 1, he said, the entire population was ordered evacuated by the Germans orae aeciaea mat, rather than to miss the chance of escape, they nould hide and await deliverance, The Germans, anxious to get away themselves, did uot take time to tearch the towns thoroughly. The refugees said that slnco 1914 the food has steadily become worse until at last It was Just enough to Keep them alive, but It did not give them sufficient strength to work. It was almost Impossible for them to get clothing. They had not boon al lowed to leavo their little town since the Germans first swept into It, al most four years ago. Headquarters reports from the northern part of the front say that further progress has been made at several places along the line. Juit Gooi Out.

SLOUCH HAT OUT OF FAVOR Picturesque Headgear Mo Longer Worn by American Soldiers on the Fighting Front. The slouch lint has for many years been regarded In Europe as distinctive ly American, although for as inuny years It has been no more commonly worn In the United States than In the British Isles, and over a considerable part of the continent. Nevertheless, the typical American Is almost Invari ably pictured In n soft hat, and the soft felts worn by tho. soldiers of the American expeditionary forces to Fratiec helped to sustain the tradition. In tho Civil war the soldiers of the North wore cans. Soft felts were chosen for soldiers operating against the Indians on the plains because they were supposed to ufford greater protec tion than caps from the glare. They be came n regulation head covering for the army In the Spanish-American war, and, because they mulched the khaki uniform, they have been In use ever Since. Now, however, General Per 6hlng Is said to have decided that these hats must be discarded In favor of brlmloss and peakless caps, imd the reason for tho proposed change Is characteristic of the period that has Introduced into war so ninny Innova tions. The rim of the soft felt bat throws a shadow oa the periscope used In the trenches so as to Interfere with sighting by the wearer; also, when worn by tall men, the crown may be seen above the parapets by tho en my; ulsn, a gns mask can be adjusted much more quickly over a briuiless mid peaklesd cap. WAR HELPED ZINC INDUSTRY Remarkable Impetus Given to the Mining and Refining of the Mineral In Japan. The high-water murk in the devel opment of zinc mining and it lining In Japan has been reached since the out break of the present war. Zinc was first mined In n commercial way In 1S07, but even us late ut 1!)11 the out put wus still only about 10,000 tons. The refining of the ores was not start ed on a large scale until 1!U1. The rising quotations of the metal in ull markets gave the Industry great Im petus In Japan, so thut lu 1915 21,000 tons of relined goods and In 1010 4r, 000 tons were produced. It Is esti mated that the production In 1917 to taled some 05,000 tons. It Is said that the refineries can produce as high as 100,000 tons a year, but as this takes some j:30,000 tons of zinc ore tho problem before Japan Is to obtain 200,000 tons of ore In foreign markets, as only 50,000 tons are mined in Japan. In tho past Japan has bought ore from China. Australia and Itussla, the greater part of the ore, however, coming from Australia. It has been reported that Great Britain plans a re finery In Australia In order to produce zinc in that portion of her empire. If true, this, It Is said, may force Japan to seek her raw material In some other market. Not for Me, but of Me.

The commanding Germnn officer In formed him they were after certain Information and had decided to send him up In his own machine accompa nied by a German officer, who would shoot him If ho deviated from orders. He took his machine up, his Germnn compnnlon sitting beside him with a drawn revolver at his ribs.

She Is a daughter of Sir Daniel Cooper, on Australian millionaire.
