On German Risks
Will Refuse to Loan or
Realty Carrying Teuton
Policies

Another important group Of lenders
on real estate mortgages has taken up
the question of German fire insurance
with a view to barring all companies
of German origin or utilization from
participation in the millions OF insur-
ance they control.
One of the largest Of the New YORK
life insurance companies Is arranging

any way tainted with Teutonism of its
books January /. Pending formal an
nouncement Of the company's decision
it's name is withheld.
The company in question not only
loans millions on New York real estate,
but has large investments in other large
cities. Many of these loans are on prop
erty in so-called congested districts
where the bulk of the business given
TO the German reinsurance companies
originates. One Of the reasons advanced
for permitting these companies to con-
tnue in business has been that IL is
difficult TO get sufficient insurance in
sections where the confagration risk is
considered great.
In considering the question OF Ger
man insurance, the life insurance lend
ers have considered chiefly the value
of the protection their policies give.
Their investigations showed results
squaring with the inquiries of the Law
yers Mortgage Company and others
that the ability of these companies to
meet large obligations is TO be doubt
ed, in view Of their small resources in
this country, their inability to get ad
ditional funds from abroad and their
record in San Francisco at the time of
the great fire of 1906.

Opinion Says Articles Glorify

Judge Augustus \. Hand in an
opinion filed yesterday in the Federal
Court denied the preliminary injunc-
ton sought by the Masses Publishing
Company TO prevent Postmaster fattcn
from barring from the mails the Sep
TENDER issue Of "The Masses
In sustaining the action of the New
York postmaster and the Postmaster
General in Withholding the use Of mails
as a means of distributing "The Mas
ses," Judge Hand holds that the August
issue Of the publication was filled with
Clorifcation Of those who refused TO
enlist. and violated the law, and that
the September issue contained similar
matter in diluted form.
Not Second Class Matter
The opinion takes up in full the
Postmaster Generals revocation Of the
mailing privilege Of "The Masses" as
second class matter, and quotes the
Postm sster General as declaring that
The Masses is not newspaper or
other periodical publication within the
meaning Of the law governing mailable
matter Of the second class.
Judge Hand further declares that
The Masses" is in conflict with the
provisions Of the postal laws and regu-
lations. which prohibit the use of the
mails to publications that violate the
espionage act Of June, 1917.
The question whether the September
issue is mailable. in the opinion Of the
court, has not come up for decision.
Both the affidavit upon which the
order 20 show cause was granted and
the answering affidavit saws Judge
Hand, indicate that the September
issue Of The Masses has not been de-
clared in itself unavailable, and the
question whether il is or is not mail
able has not come up for decision.
