People boarding Funds-New
Currency Turned Out at Top
Speed, But It Fades.
By the Associated Press.

AMSTERDAM, Friday, October 25.-
With its staff depleted by the war and
grip. the German treasury is turn
ing out new currency at top speed,
but, according to the Lokal Anzeiger
of Berlin, it melts like snow when
the sun shines and the customary
backf1ow into the state Golfers has
ceased completely.
The Reichsbank in the third quarter
of the year issued the unprecedented
amount of four billion marks in new
money, or nearly twice the amount is
sued in the same period last year. In
the first three weeks in October alone
the bank issued one and one-quarter
billions of marks in new money
The government has been compelled
to make war loan coupons legal ten
der. It also proposes to issue a sim
pier form of paper currency and the
municipal governments in Berlin and
other centers have been authorized
to issue temporary token money.
Fears are growing that if the official
appeals to refrain from boarding are
not needed thhe whole economic
structure of Germany may collapse.

We have been deprived of proper

Judge Chambers said that the pos
session of Samoa was more important
to Germany than her interests. in
South Africa, and it will be neces-
sary to watch Solf, because that
statesman will be the last to consent
to the surrender of this Gem of the

and diplomacy. supported by British
ers, appears to have won a number
of victories over Germany:
But the alliance was an extremely
dangerous one for all concerned, and
nobody could tell at what moment it
might cause an international confla-
grafton. The story told by Judge
Chambers is in some respects close
ly associated with the present period
and the present world controversy.
In one of the most stirring dramas
enacted in his court at Apia, Capt.
Sturdee, now vice admiral, who a
little more than two years ago, ami
hilated the German fleet off the Falk-
land Islands. played a prominent part.
The German consul had objected to
the decision of Chief Justice Cham

deceased ruler of that name, on the
throne.

obtaining possession of Sayii, the
largest and most fertile of all the
islands. Early in the Boer war the
emperor had aroused the wrath of
Great Britain by cabling Paul Kruger

cesses of the Transvaal and Orange

But England. occupied as she was
with the sturdy Beers, had no desire

German Consul Balks.

1.-The American consul, although not
backed by "a man-of-war flying the
American flag. said he accepted the
decision for his own government. The
German consul, however, said he had
no authority to accept the Judgment
of the court-a court which his gov
eminent had helped to create and
which was as much a German as an
American court under the triparite
agreement:
Zach candidate for the throne had
with him seventeen chiefs. But when
Mataafa saw that the decision was
against him he and his followers did
homage to Malietoa. Then the fol-
lowers of Mataafa went to the harbor,
prepared to get into their boats and
go to their homes, situated at widely
different points on all the islands
forming the group.
II went home thanking God that
everything was settled and -con0rotu-
lating my wife on the fact that peace
was secured for the islands. But in
the meantime the German agents had
gone to the harbor in which the boats
of the Mataafans were afioat, har-
rangued the people and told them
that with the story of my decision
should be flashed to the world the
news of a revolution. They told the
deluded men that my decision was all
wrong and that it was against all
rightful interests.
