CALLS FOR JEWELRY
Germany Wants All Citizens to Give
Up Gold for Fatherland.

Amsterdam, July 2S.-The daily
recurring public notices, printed in
conspicuous type in German news
papers, entreating citizens to aid the
fatheriand. by giving it their gold,
evidently is insufficient of productive
results. The Weser Zeitung, of Bre-
men,, publishes renewed appeal,
complaining especially that the we'll
TODD public still fails to realize the
situation and that all gold must be
handed in.
The newspaper cites examples of
members of the German Imperial
and Royal princely houses sacrific-
ing their gold and jewelry, and says
competent authorities calculate that
three to four hundred million gold
coins are being obstinately boarded
in Germany, while the value of gold
ornaments is estimated at billion
marks.
The Weser zeitung says, the pub

be loaned instead of given to the
German Imperial Bank. The answer
is, no, because the law demands gold
as cover for paper money, and that
