There are rcw persistent rumors
among the working classes in Ger

here, that Germany's imperial bonds
may become yalueless.
The people of numerous towns are
said to be unloading their war loans
at extraordinary low prices, and a

The German newspapers are publish

commended above all other methods
that persons who desire to sell gov
eminent bonds do so through banks
which are always ready to advance
cash upon bonds in the usual way.
The public is further advised. to re.

guarantees the loans.
