gave its notes in return. thus meet
ing the needs Of the Darlehnskassen.
According to the Reichsbank state
ment of December :. this institution
held $4,000 900 marks in its vaults
and about l.0O0,OOO,000 were in cir
culation. So. altogether, Darlehns-
kassen had issued notes to the value
of l.447.000,000 marks. a compare
lively small sum considering the fact
that the KasSen are allowed by law
10 issue notes up to 3,000,000,000
marks. This sum seems inconsider-
able when one has tabulated the
number of securities held in Ger
many. Listed securities have been
popular form of investment.
1t is estimated that foreign
securities alone held in Germany
amount to $4,000, 100000 marks. and
the entire amount Of German
securities is conservatiyely cSti-
mated at 100000, 100000 marks
During the war this entire lump is
immobie. From the opening Of the
war all German industry turned 10
supplying the needs of war and at
the same time strove TO satisfy all
the peace demands Of the internal
empire. Most factories have had to
work with day and night shifts.
The demand for money and
credit has been enormous, and IN
addition war loans to the extent OF
$500. 900 marks have been sub
scribed. In the face Of these de
mands Darlehnskassen Is a testl-
monial of the extraordinary financial
ROBUSTNESS Of the country and a
brilliant example of its organization.
In this connection it is interesting
TO note the way in which Darlehns-
kassen were used to float war loans.
Some foreign papers have been CIV
ing themselves the pleasure of
branding financing of war az an
enormous bluff. They say some
thing like this: The war loan was
subscribed to the amount of 5.000,-
100000 marks; subscribers then
mortgaged their loans with the
Darlehnskassen and received 1000
100000 marks for them; therefore
the second war loan, which
amounted to about S,0000C0.OOO
marks. represented actually only
1000, 100000 marks in new sub
scriptions. Subscribers of the sec
ond war loan again mortgaged their
paper for 6,O00,000.0O0 marks, which
sum they used to subscribe to the
third war loan. so it in reality
represented only 6,OO0.O00,0O0 marks
in new subscriptions.
But what are the true conditions?
The third war loan amounted TO H.
lOl 100000 marks. 80 per cent Of
which had been paid in before
October 10; that is. about 100000
900 marks. On October =, five days
after the first date of payment. only
$50 100000 marks were drawn from
the Darlehns; that is, only a
little over ga. per cent of the pay
ment made on October is. The total
result Of the loan showed 1862 900
individual subscribers. a proof Of
how genuine the entire boGy of war
loan subscribers has been. 1t is
particularly interesting to note that
subscriptions under 10000 marks

Berlin. Dee. 1.-The economic
financial position Of Germany during
the war has been determined prI-
marily through its isolation from
The sea. As a result Gcrmany'S over
sea commerce has entirely ceased.
lnasmuch as Germany Is a country
which is able through its natural
resources and chemicai industrial
organizations to produce the neces-
yarv raw materials and means or
subsistence within its own boun-
diaries. the English blockade has not
in any way marred the prospect Of
continuing the war 10 a successful
conclusion. Moreover. the English
blockade has had "A bcnetic2nt result,
from the financial viewpoint which
was certainly no part OF the Eng
lish lnlcution. Germany was unable
to import any unnecessary but
tcmpting articles Of luxury. ana
most of Gcrmany's money has re-
NAMED within the country, so that
the nation has not piled up for itself
enormous debts abroad.
The German rate Of exchange in
a few ueighborlng neutral coun-
tries with which trade still is posi-
bic has risen TO our disadvantage,
but this rise gathers no particular
significance, because the amount of
exports is not at all large. and the
countries with which we traded are
Of comparatively small importance
in the commercial world. Equilib-
rum will be Immediately regained
upon the resumption Of normal
movements Of merchandise at the
conclusion Of peace. If the English
maintain that this high rate of ex-
change indicates lack OF confidence
in German money they are COM
plctely overlooking what careful In
vestigation OF German internal af-
fairs after seventeen months Of war
must disclose.

Not Obliged TO Take Scrip.

Darlehnskassen do not pay in cash,
but in their own scrip, which no
one Is obliged TO take in payment.
This scrip. according to German
law. is backed not only by the secu-
rites held but by the personal liabil-
ity Of the borrower. The circulation
of scrip has met with no difficulty
whatever. although. as has been en-
phasized. no one is obliged to take #.
Since at the opening of the war it
was impossible to foresee how things
might develop. Darlehnskassen did
not put their notes directly into cir
culation. but turned them over to the
Reichsbauk to the extent Of loans
granted, for which the Reichsbank

W Ground for Di>tTust.

We entered the war with gold
reserve Of l,253.0OO.OOO marks in the
Reichsbank. and, according to its last
statement, we now have gold re-
serve of 100000. The gold re-
serve covering banknote circulation
on July 81. 1914. was AL per cent.
To-day is 1913 per cent. This is much
higher than Che present gold reserve
of the Bank Of France. which has
only 33 per cent against notes in
circulation. Il is also to be noted
that the Bank of France entered the
year with a gold reserve of 62 per
cent of It's war paper currency.
In view Of these figures one can GER
tainly see no grounds for distrust OF
our monetary system.
Abroad it has been sought to dis
credit our money by saying that
there were in Germany institutions
which mortgage everything. French
papers have enjoyed retailing the
Joke that even toothpicks have been
mortgaged in Germany by Darlehns-
kassen. They sought to give the
impression that Germany was one
large pewushop and the entire popu-
lation was borrowing on personal
chattels.
The truth about Darlchnskassen
becomes interesting. When. at the
beginning Of the war. stock cX-
changes Of all countries involved had
closed it was necessary TO create an
institution which would make ii pos
sible for owners of stocks and bonds
for the moment unstable because of
the closed exchanges to have a
means Of liquidation in case of need.
1t was rot desirable that the rule
that ReichSbank notes be issued only
against commercial paper with speci-
fled bank Endorsement should be
abandoned. Therefore, the institu-
ton of Darlehnskassen. which had
been operated in Prussia during the
revolution OF lS4S and the war OF
1871 with success. was resurrected.
Darlehnskasseu loans are secured by
stocks. bonds and mortgages only.
The highest loans may be secured
naturally against government bonds.

MONTANA WOMEN IN

Four Girls Scholarships
Provided by Federation

One department of the work of the
Montana Federation of Women s
Clubs which is not generally known
to the public is devoted to the schol-
arship girls. This means that each
wear a committee selects one girl from
the state and gives her gratis four
year course in any OF the state
schools which she, with the advice OF
the committee, may select. So tar,
the Federation has been wonderfully
fortunate in selecting girls whose rec
ord in the schools has reflected great
credit both to the student herself and
to those who stood sponsor for her.
Mollie Allen Of Butte was the first
scholarship girl. She graduated in
June from the Home Economics De-
partment of the State Agricultural
College in Bozeman. After assisting
during the past summer in the man
agement of Hamilton Hall in that col
lege, she accepted a position as home
science teacher in one of the high
schools of the state.
Pearl Clark of Great Falls was the
next Federation choice. She attend
ed the State University at Missoula

course in three years. But the FEEDER

ed her the scholarship the fourth year
in order that she might win her mas

Estelle Minor of Kalispell spent the
summer teaching near Sprindale. She
will complete three-year course at

experience as teacher, and is a most
