AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, June 29.-The Berlin Tageblatt, in finan- cial article, calls attention to the increasing danger of German finan- cial power being concentrated in the hands of a few through the growth of multiple directorships." German bankers it says, are rapidly accumu- lating drectorships in all the con- cerns in which their banks are inter- . ested. Thus, the number of sdirector- ships held by Louis Hagen, a Cologne millionaire, is now 56; Karl F'urst- ! enberg of Berlin, has 55; Herr von Schwabach has 42; Baron simon yon Oppenheim and two or three others have 10 each; while there is a large group of bankers and industrial lead- CTS who boast of between 30 and 40 each.

 Members of the South African party must not allow themselves to be misled by false and misleading propaganda for independence. The to win votes at the provincial council elections by an appeal to sentiment people.
 The proposal is wholly imprac- ticable and is more over very dan gerous, for in the present war condi- tons it can only lead to bitterness, war.

II EFT US make business unusual. Busi-

ing new uses for everything Throughout
the war the wise men of England have
striven to maintain the industrial struc-

Usual"
Now America has entered the war. The
hope of the world is on u.s. That hope
from without and our hope from within
must be realized by true conception Of
what is meant by economy. Remember
the parable of the man who buried the
masters money so it would be safe and
whose fellow used his masters money to
make an increase.
Economy is doing the best you have with
what you have in yourself, in what you
own, and what you can influence.
It means joining of hands, figurative-
Iy. of every man, woman and child in this
great country so as to work together that
our great resources shall be activated and
moved by our common patriotism.
It means more doing; more intelligent
spending; more distribution of informa-
tion of how, where, and when goods may
be had of all kinds to meet every human
requirement It does not mean boarding
it means sowing, spending; for the busi-
ness soil of the American nation has been
scarcely touched. Let us awaken to the
