Paris, May 22.
Admission after many denials that
France sought s1oo,00o.o00 from United
States investors is not having the effect
on the French Bourse that some persons
had expected. It is now realized that the
new loan apart from IT'S significance of
American sympathy Will not have any
real effect on international finance, as
| it is designed solely TO meet maturing
issues held In American banks. Far
greater hopes. however, are being placed
in the ability to market German bonds
across the Atlantic.
Financial firms are confident that
when the bonds are actually received
and disarmament Of Germany has been
achieved, 1t will be possible to discount
at least $500, 900, 900 worth year In the
United States alone at prices far above
the ~ per cent. now being offered by
some American bankers for small Quanti-
ties
That the discount rate will be i'm
proved rs soon as work Is started by the
Reparations Commission and the Com
mission Of Guarantees Is shown. 1t Is
contended. by the improvement in the
value Of the franc Last week. 1t is be-
ing prophesied that the franc will go to
eight per dollar before the end of July

ropes peace being maintained.
In addition, French bankers are point

AS far as interior issues are concerned
all attention is concentrated on the

to rise considerably in the next fortnight.

q reduction in note circulation Of almost
double this amount.
The discount rate of the Bank of

are frequently heard that the COVER

the Belgian banks and will reduce the
rate to per cent as soon as the latter

Won't Guess on Initiation.

Financiers here decline to say just
how much additional paper money and
increases In treasury borrowings VIII
be undertaken before Germany reaches
the peak OF her imitation and indebted
ness. But they are not pessimistic in
regarding this one factor by itself.
Bankers as rule are inclined to be-
l!eve that the reparations settlements
will not prove too great strain, but
many feel that stabilized ratio be-
tween gold marks and paper marks will
eventually have to be established.
New gold bonds are to be issued by
the Preparations Commission, these ac-
tually competing with paper, to the lat
ters discount, it being assumed that the
foreign purchaser will prefer gold marks
to paper marks German financial lead
ers plan eventually to establish a set
ratio of two kinds OF marks, and while
no figure has been decided upon ratio
of one to ten has been often mentioned.

EXPECT DOLLAR TO DROP

Special Ccble to THE NEW YosK HERALD.
Copyright. 1921, by THE New YoRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Berlin. May s2.
German financial prophets expect the
mark to fall because OF the heavy pur-
chase of foreign securities by the Ger
man Government In preparing for the
reparations payments. A further weak
ness IS expected as the result OF the
decline in exports In consequence of the
economic sanctions applied by the Allies.
Two distinct periods. however. are rec
ognized: the present one. In which the
mark has declined in value, and later
one in which entirely new factors will
determine financial values. These fac
tors all have tendency to balance each
other. The Germans expect that Amer
lea eventually must sell to Europe on
credit and at lower prices, consequently
the dollar will decline and the pound
sterling and the franc will rise.
Furthermore, America is expected to
buy a large block of reparations bonds
and in this way will provide Europe with
a heavy balance in America The ex-
istence OF reparations bonds is expected
to stimulate orders by allied countries
in Germany. So great impetus to Ger
man industry is bound to come, and,
looked at from one viewpoint, Germany
might count on being certain OF an ac-
tive. healthy future.

To Use Printing Press Again.

But much of Germany's increase in
exports will be without payment since
the Government has agreed to indemnify
the manufacturers for a large share OF
the sales price, and can do this only
with printing press.
An accurate estimate of what will
happen to the mark is impossible before
the Reichstag assesses the new taxation
and before the taxes already assessed
are really raised. Collections have been
delayed, owing to the organization and
training Of tax collection department.
In addition. handicaps OF normal delay
are encountered In all countries applying
new taxes, which as a rule require from
one to two years before maximum pay
ments begin to flow into the treasury.
The German financial machine was
revamped by Matthias Erzberger while
he was Finance Minister. and the tax
system was changed from a cash to a
rate basis, SO that now the Government
continues to get It's percentage from tax
alton no matter how much imitation there
Is. These two reforms paralyzed the Ger
man tax raising power for the time be-
ing and only next year will the budget
show what Erzberger's programme really
is worth.

Jumping Of Contracts Made
Thing Of Past By Statute
Newly Made
HOUSE BILL NO. 143 IS
A NEW REGULATOR
Eleventh Hour designations
Are Made An Outlawed
Sport By Legislature

No longer may school teacher &C.
cept contract with school board
to teach for certain term and at the
last minute accept another position
with another school board offering
more tempting salary. A provision
contained in House bill No. 142, pas
sed by the Ohio legislature, puts a
stop to such contract jumping"
Any teacher whose resignation is
not accepted by a school board and
who quits without permission after
August 1, previous to a school year
for which he has agreed to teach, will
have his teachers certificate suspend
ed for the period of the contract viO-
lated.
Immediately that the contract is
violated the school board will certi-
fy the same to the board of examin-
ers. The board of examiners will no.
tify the state board of education Of
the violation and the state superin-
tendent of public instruction will noti.
fy every board in the state by means
of monthly bulletins containing the
names of the contract jumpers" in
order to make it impossible for the
teacher to secure q new certificate or
a new job.
There has been considerable con-
tract jumping into the past and this
bill is designed to aid school boards
which have been practically helpless
In the enforcement of contracts. 1t
has not been uncommon for boards
ana Nsuperintendents seriously to be
embarrassed by sudden and unexpect-
ed designations at the eleventh hour.
Under the old way the school board
could never by wholly sure of its
teachers until they actually reported
at the opening of the school term.
Many teachers would sign a contract
to teach for the next school year and
meanwhile prospect for another and
better paying position. II they were
successful they would summarily re-
sign and accept the second position
offered them. This put the first board
employing the teacher in most un
comfortable position as these resigna
tions usually came just before the op
ening Of the school year.
Under the new rule all teachers
who wish to resign must apply tc
their school board for release. The
law requires that the board give the
resignation immediate attention tt
the teachers request II, after the res
ignation has been denied, the teacher
still desires to quit, he may do sc
without any serious consequences t6
himself provided he does IL befor,
August |. II he quits after August
the penalties above mentioned will b,
enforced.

Dog IL Dead Because OF
Suffering Broken Neck

Sam Hartman a few days ago lost
a pet bulldog under peculiar circum-
stances, broken or dislocated neck
being the cause. The dog, which was
widely known as "Rowdy" while still
but pup was well hammered and
gentle, especially with children with
whom 1t was fond of playing. Monday
while engaged in play Rowdy was OBJ
served to give his head sudden twist
or jerk and Immediately fell down
and died. An examination discovered
the dogs neck to be broken or dis
located, an unusual circumstance. All
the members of the Hartman family
are disconsolate because of the death
Of Rowdy.
