RUNS ON BANKS SERIOUS
Germans Withdrew $17,000,-
600 During Balkan War Scare.
GREAT LEGISLATIVE ZEAL
Twenty Odd Parliaments of
Empire Criticised in Endless
Series of Articles.
fBy Gable TO The Tribune. !

Berlin. Feb. S.-The Association Of
German Savings Banks has compiled
statistics which show that the run on
savings banks in November last in con-
sequence of the war scare was the most
serious ever known in the country As
direct result Of the Balkan crisis
more than S11.OD0OOO was withdrawn
from savings banks. At the time of
the Morocco crisis Withdrawals traced
directly to that affair amounted TO S.
30 600. In each case il was the de-
postors with the smallest accounts
who became alarmed and withdrew
their money from the banks to hoard
il in out Of the way corners.
The legislative zeal Of Gerrhanys
twenty-odd parliaments continues TO
be attacked in a seemingly endless Sc
ries of pamphlets and newspaper arti-
cles. One of the latest pamphlets COM
ing from Hanover is called Laws
Without End" 1t shows how the rural
police and minor self-governing organs
have lost sight of their rights and du-
ties. No official knows how far his
competence extends, and the result IS
an ever increasing mass OF test law
suits i'm the administrative court.
These lawsuits are fought with eX-
aggerated tenacity. Police regulation
about a wooden bridge over brook
which cost $50 to build is fought in
four instances. The higher court of
administration is chOked with work
and legislative and administrative puz-
zles which in any other country could

author shows that in twelve Of the Ger
man parliaments speakers of repute
have protested in the last year against
excess Of legislation. Prussia, he says,
needs imperatively 10 abolish half OF
her administrative instances and half
of her judicial instances. There is no
need for four administrative instances
between a citizen and a minister. The
only purpose served il in the mainten-
ance OF a horde Of officials.
I'm line with this is newspaper COM
ment on the ease with which men in
the highest official positions can be
gulled. This is brought out i'm connec-
ton with a hoax on a Strasburg gar
rison which turned out over twenty
thousand strong on Wednesday be-
cause Of a bogus telegram that the

for days that the Kaiser was going 10
KGnigsberg and was already there
when the bogus telegram reached
Strasburg. but because the message
bore the magic letter which precedes
the imperial dispatches their habit Of
blind obedience exceeded their common
sense.
Walter. the man who prepared the
hoax. has been arrested II is said that
he had a further plan for bringing out
the fleet and several other garrisons
on the east and west frontiers. He had
been regarded for some time as per-
son Of unsound mind, and il is said
that his purpose was to show that ne
was not such a fool as people consid-
cred him.

other and more recent example which
might be cited. 1t is true that there were
special interests at stake when these
things were done which made recognition

will have the money for reorganization

and the so-called sextuple group of inter-

the powers seriously TO consider the ques-

hearts Of all patriotic Chinese. Looking
at the question from the point of view Of
international law and considering the con-

other new governments, there seems 10 be
nothing standing in the way OF such a
step, except in the cases Of one or two

Obstacle to United States Action.

There seems. however, to be an obstacle
10 America taking the initiative. 1t is
understood out here that during the early
DAYS of the revolution America took the
initiative in suggesting to the other
powers that all nations act together,
showing no partisanship and not taking
advantage OF the situation for individual
advancement Inasmuch as America sug-
gested this unity of action ii would be
almost impossible for America herself to
take independent action and recognize the
republlc. such course would surely be
fiercely resented by all other nations.
America, however, Is In position to
start the ball rolling by suggesting to the
other powers that something be done.
Then If the other powers, or any OF them.
refuse to take the step America can free
herself from the embarrassing entangle-
ment. There is no clear reason why
America should be unable to grant merit
ed recognition because China refuses to
let Tibet go or because she does not &C

Great Britain's Position.

Also, the British government is pretty
much upset over China's attitude regard
ing the sale of Indian opium in China.
China has put stop to the traffic and
has destroyed opium which was being
transported by foregn-i. e.. British
merchants. This has led TO a severe note
to the government from the British Lega-
ton i'm Picking. and with it threat OF
still more drastic action If China does not
cease what the British declare is a viola
ton Of the treaty OF 1911 concerning the
onium traffic. British organs here de-
clare that China does not merit recog-
milton when she violates solemn obliga-
tons
Then there is Russia and the Monaghan
affair. Russia has entered into a treaty
with the Mongolians whereby Russia
gains everything an aggressive nation
could desire. and insists that China enter
into an understanding with Russia recog-
nizing both the independence Of Mon
sola and the understanding between the
Mongols and the St Petersburg govern
ment. This China very naturally refuses
To do. Consequently, Russia may be In
clined to withhold recognition
