Thus the floors must be OF cement, con-

no wooden utensils or vessels must be

FINANCIAL CRASH
FACING GERMANY

BERLIN. Sept. 7.-Germany is threat
ened with a great financial crash
caused by the natural reaction from
the inflated trade boom Of the last few
years, and it Is likely that the money
market will suffer a collapse soon
The cause Of the present critical
situation is the too rapid expansion
which has been the feature Of German
comrlercs in recent years, the govern
ments seemingly reckless financial
policy and the lavish investment Of
German capital in certain American
bankiag houses.
Russian trade has been the object to
which German enterprise has mainly
been directed in a too lavish manner.
Germany has practically built up the
manufacturing Industries Of Russia, and
has created the most important Of the
Russian manufacturing cities. Ike

its development by German fnanciers
has been swallowed up by strikes and
disorders.
In Germany's homo industries there
has been reckless Overproducuon, with
consequent huge losses. Exports have
increased enormously in bulk without
correspondingly increased returns.
In high financial circles the same eX-

sequences The German government has

they really are very pleasant in their

hastens the moment when he will return

''Now, people of moderate means can

was learned long ago. when neutrality was pro-
claimed respecting creeds and the natives were
hopelessly divided. Education under the direc-
ton Of the universities and teaching bodies may
have stimulated disloyalty. but it is not an I'M
settling and destructive force like religious
fanaticism, which has been gradually waning
under British rule. With a resolute Viceroy
and a vigilant commander in chief on the
ground, even pessimists are persuaded that
there is slight danger OF the recurrence of the
arduous labors and tragic horrors Of the famous
Mutfny. There signs Of nervousness or
panic at the Viceroy's court, and there has been
no tendency either at the India Office or In
Parliament TO eXaggerate the importance of
racial antagonism and native agitation 1t was

the rest being controlled by private associations.
The city receives rent averaging about IL cents
a yard, the size OF the alotments being indicated
by the annual rent, which ranges from 81 10 SIS
Rents charged by the private associations are sub
stantialy the same, though some OF these allow
the holder to buy his allotment The allotments
are rented or bought mainly by wage earners
though some are held by business and professional
men who have no garden space at their residences
The city offers prizes each year for the best
suits in it's gardens with the consequence that the
aIlotments kept in most perfect condition and
many are examples of remarkable fertility In
fruits flowers and vegetables. The effect OF the
competition prizes is enhanced by the cancelling
of the lease II an allotment is not kept up to a
required standard. While this is maintained the
tenant is disturbed. Some of the alotments
have been held by the same families for half
century or more.
