(Major Lutiy’s death left this paragraph incom- plete. I need only add that on his departure for the front he sent the MSS., with numerous further ad- ditions, to me. I have retained the paragraph to explain the occasional diversity of opinion in read- ing or interpretation, and the way in which ‘ I ’ and ‘ We ’ are alternatively used in the notes. Ed.)

Well, however that may be, here we are in the fight ; and if I am called an anarchist, soit ! But I throw my bomb with a difference.

As things are, a piece of paper is just as good as a piece of gold; but, as everyone knows, even the financiers, ninety five per cent of the gold never existed. The possibility of calling for gold has so frightened those very people who have been screaming for years that gold was the only basis, that already there has been a threat to demonetize gold.
