a D;sa,trous Fire

Sunday morning at about 2:l5 a.
M. the alarm of fire was given, it
having been discovered that the
Mauer Lumber Company's property
on Main street was burning. Owing
to the celebration, the fire truck was
behind bunch of autos in the garage
and it required some little time be-
fore it could be cleared, and in the
meantime the fire had gained such
Roadway it was impossible to save
the buildings or any of the destruc-
tible contents. The loss, upon which
there was no insurance, is about
S25, 900. This is a severe loss to Mr.
Mauer. who IN the last 20 years has
built up very prosperous business
1t is understood he will rebuild at
once and continue in the same lines

STRIKES COST SHIP
 BOARD S37,0O0,0O

Washington, Dec. 12.-The seriou. economic waste involved in marin and shipyard strikes during tn period of reconstruction has recent been investigated by the Unite States Shipping Board, which ha found that since the first of the yea the direct loss has been around S9 '' 00O,OOO. Judge Barton Payne, chalF man of the Board, said today tha includes marine and harbor strike Iongshore and shipyard strikes whic4 have occurred on the Atlantic, Pa cific and Gulf coasts.
 There are not included losses | foreign or privately operated Amer can vessels not indirect losses to til public due to interruption of regula movement of shipping. Among sue indirect losses are those due to con gestion in port and on inland tran portation system, spoilage or perish able cargo and delays of food sur plies needed in this country an abroad.
 The marine strikes include that 0 New York harbor' craft, tieing some 500 boats, with approXimatei 16,0OO men out for thirteen days. further strike occurred in July, vii q general tie-up of shipping on u Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Some 25 900 men were out for about thre weeks.
 A longshore strike in New Yorl | during October involved 10000 tt | 5O,0OO men for about thirty days ! 1 further longshore strike occurred a New Orleans in the same month | lasting thirty-one days
 Among the 200 strikes in the ship 1 yards, one of the largest was that il | the Northern Pacific district begin | ming in January, lasting for lift. | days and involving some 4O,O0O. | further strike occurred in the Sal l Francisco Bay and southern distrlc l in October, lasted thirty days and in l volved 35,O0O men. A strike in tn
 shipyards in the New York distric 1 began in October, lasted about thirt
 days and involved some 20,000 men 1 Judge Payne said the losses due t , the coal strike are not included i | the estimated figures, and that thes | would amount to a large sum. One effect of the coal situatio
 will be reflected in the earnings o
 the Division of Operations. As a re
 suit of the shortage of coal abou
 15O vessels of 45,O00 deadweight ton | were withdrawn from the proftabl | coal export trade, and in many in
 stances these ships could not b
 placed in other routes which woul
 show so large a profit.
 | In addition to this, a point has nov | been reached where shipyards ar
 beginning to shut down, and serlou
 curtailment of output is imminent.
 The cost of the strikes to tn
 workmen themselves has not bee
 estimated, but it would undoubtedl | run into enormous figures. It
 pointednput that even after labor ha
 conducted a successful strike, whe | it has lasted over an appreciabl
 period it is a number of months be
 fore their extra earnings make u the wages lost

Dangerous Remedies.

Here is a sufficiently hopeless pTob- lem. as anyone will admit, and it IS not all surprising to hear that some drastic remedies are suggested, the most important and serious of which should be here discussed. It is said. with probable truth, that to avoid taxa ton immense amounts of marks are being hoarded, especially by those who made large profits out of the war. It is proposed, therefore, at a given date to declare certain issues of marks vaIueless, so that in order to secure some kind of value for this hoarded paper it will have to come out and be taxed accordingly. This is about on a par with Napoleon's method of dealing with the "assig- nats'' of the French Revolution. They were repudiated, and it took France at least thirty years to re cover any decent place in the world s credit It need hardly be recalled that a revolution and a change Of dynasty were among the incidents following that act of bankruptcy.
 But can Germany afford to repu- diate it's currency in this way? Sup posing all of 1t were held by her own people, the task would be difficult.
 But the writer, whose entry into and exit from Germany were made through Holland, is informed that Holland alone is the uneasy possessor of something like 19 billions of Ger
 man marks, in one form of indebted ness or another. Relatively to the
 other European powers, Holland at
 present is on what might be called
 "easy street, and if the Dutch gull
 den is not up to the par Of the
 American dollar it ranks above the
 pound sterling. But the Dutch bank

 German indebtedness.
 Fractional Currency and No Silver.
 One of the most responsible direc-
 tors Of one of the Big Three of the German banks said that every neutral country was loaded to full capacity with German reichsmarks and could take no more; while what he consld- cred the irreducible minimum of gold held by the Reichsbank was all that remained and from this must come
 pawn ent for the imports of food made
 through the official benevolence of the ! United States Government. An at tempt, therefore, to repudiate all or any part of the German currency would have disastrous consequences in countries where Germany has made every effort to keep her credit good Let it be remembered, in parenthe- sis, that the estimates of German 1 currency here offered do not include 1 those of every city throughout the 1 former Empire, which in the absence 1 of silver money has f1oated unlimited 1 quantities of fractional currency. Co ] logne, in fact, reached the point of z | paper bill for ten pfennigs. Taking the mark at two cents, this would be 1 worth 20 mills oS an American cent 1 or shade more than one-fifth of tha | useful coin. Bu it would not bt
 worth that for any distance outside l of Cologne. The other towns would | refuse to accept it because they would want to protect their own fraciona currency, and the point is rapidly be
 ing approached where this sort
