GERMAN MONEY
OYER INFLATED
Currency Now IA Times
Volume Existing
In 1914.
LET WAR DEBTS PILE UP
Pyramided Obligations and
Expected Someone Else
To Pay Bill.

Berlin, Jan. Is (by mail.)-Ger-
many has been blowing up a paper
balloon. with not much else in It
than gas and perhaps some hopes
for the future.
Imitation of the currency has
reached the point where serious
minded bankers marvel at the situa-
tion and wonder when the end will
come. Briefly. banknote circulation
IN Germany has grown from 2.406.-
100000 marks in June, 1914, to 34,-
ooo.ooo,000 marks in 1920.
The nations banknote presses are
groaning under the strain OF work
imposed on them in recent months.
A veritable stream of paper money
has been pouring out of them-to
be exact, nve and q half billion
marks since September, 1919.
Ofncial figures show that at the
elose Of the old year Germany had
IN circulation $4,000. 100000 marks
In banknotes and 1S,000.00 900
marks in certificates OF loans. The
total increase in paper money in
1918 was 1880. 10000 marks.
Started InnatIon I'm 1914.
In June, 1914. Germany had is
sued 2,406,5O0.0O0 marks worth Of
hanknotes." By December of that
fyear imitation had increased until S.
OfS,00O,O00 marks in banknotes had
been issued. Loans amounted to
i,ts5.OO0. 900 marks at that time.
Along with the currency initiation
has come naturally. a constant in
crease in the prices of all living
commodities. Then. also quite
naturally, have arisen constantly
increasing demands for higher
wages. These are being granted
from time to time. but the extreme
initiation Is working a hardship for
the lasoring classes
Recently bread and meat prices have
mounted and at the same time there
has come a decrease In the potato
supply, so that for a time turnips had
to be substituted in the government
rationing.
Let War Debts Pile Up.
There are various causes for the in
flsIon. all of which are quite eAsily
understoon when one realizes that
Germany let her war debt pile up
without efforts to cut down. expect
ing that somebody else would pay
the bill for her.
She pyramided and pyramided dur
ing the war. or. in the language Of the
layman, she tried to run a shoestring
into a tannery." with the result thar
she now is extremely decrepit finan-
cially.
An Interesting sidelight on the
greatly increased output of paper
money is provided by the fact that
many business houses are now doing
transactions on a cash basis.
Z This is intended to make 1t more
difficult for the tax gatherer to as
certain exactly how much business
has been done. AS a result, there Is
a big flow OF money to meet just this
one need.
Large Notes Scarce.
In many banks. however. il is be-
ing made difficult for patrons to get
large amounts of such cash by the
mere expedient of giving twenty
mark or flfty-mark notes to Gus
toners. Naturally IL their trans
actions run into the thousands of
marks. they need a dray to carry
on the paper.
All Germany at the moment is be-
ginning to believe. however. that with
the advent of peace something will be
done from outside to strengthen the
financial structure of central Europe,
and that Germany will come in for a
share of such support.

Send your memory back, then,

princess whom white-shinins,

concealing mighty strength, lured
from the circle Of her playmates
and carried upon hts back to "a
sunny isle. where he did so begulle

logical upheavals must strive to-
ward a reblending of their ethical
ideals. You told me the story of
the bull which carried off the un-
suspecting princess.
You did not speak of the dream
which long before that experience
both terrified and delighted you. Do
you not remember? Two continents
contended for Europa. Only one
did you know: Asia.
fThe name and character Of the
other you could not then have
dreamed of, nor could any seer then
have told you. Because the island
of Crete became the home of the
Phoenician princess, therefore the
prophecy Of the dream seemed to
you to have been fulfilled.
TT was not so; for even today
two world philosophers are con-
tending for Europa, and not until
tomorrow will the struggle be de-
cided whether here, too. upon this
firm, earth a Trinity can be estab-
lished.
