Four Germans who were tried as ac-

In passing sentence on Neuf the
German court declared the American
detective was aware that aside from
the charge OF desertion no other in

tive had attempted to arrest Bergdoll
without the cooperation of the Ger

that such a procedure constituted
illegal assumption of authority in un-
occupied Germany. The use of a

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 26. Senator

luncheon address here.

and cordial friendship from the beginning

and affectionate regard still abides. Net
so very long ago it became my duty to
choose four outstanding Americans to
represent our republic in our conference

alone, but that feeling combined with a
high estimate of his statesma nshlp and

Americans Lose by Collapse of Mark

.@OLLAPSE of the German mark to
point below l cent, for the first
time in financial history, has
caused a loss OF millions Of dollars to
American investors and spectators.
The exact amount Of this loss is diff
cult to even approximate, for marks
have been sold in this country, as well
as in ali other countries, in every con-
ceivable manner, and through hun
dreds of varied channels.
The guess of one banker is that no
less than $100,G00,o00 worth of marks
have been disposed Of in the United
States since the arnistice, and that
the average price paid for these marks
was approximately 21a cents. On that
basis, and at the present quotation,
approximately 60 cents of every Amer
lean dollar put into marks has been
lost
1t was not until midsummer, after
the armistiee was signed, that quota
tions in the. German mark were re-
sumed. They started at 7% to 8 cents
per mark.
The appeal Of the traffic in German
currency was directed at those familiar
with Germany and her industrial and
financial efficiency in pre-war days.
With the mark selling at 5, 4. 3, or 2
cents, the point was made that the

German government would soon be on
its feet, and that her financiers would
quickly bring the mark back to 23.S
cents, its pre-war worth. The bait
was attractive.
The decline in nlarks is due to the
oTersupply furnished by the Garman
printing press, including treasury
notes and other forms of paper cur
rency. The German circulation now
outstanding is in excess of 100000
100000 marks. The gold held by the

this sum.

AMERICAN VALUATION.

1t is not to be expected that foreign
producers will favor any plan for the
protection of American protective indus
try against the unfair competition of for
eign products. By "unfalr'' we do not
necessarily mean that there is anything
dishonest about it, but that it is unfair to
American industry to be forced to COM
pete on equal terms with the products of
lower production cost countries. If there
is no protection against the products of
countries whose wages are a half quar-
ter, or a tenth of ours, it is evident that
our domestic labor and domestic produc-
ton will suffer.
1t is also true that there is an unfair
foreign competition arising from this dis
honesty of certain foreign shippers and
| importers of foreign merchandise Our
laws say that the duty shall be assessed
upon the market value of the imported
article in the county of origin, but it has
been found that such values have been

accuracy and that advantage has been
taken of this fact to undervalue imports
This has grown into an abuse of enor-
nous proportions, the United States

The American valuation system will
prevent these frauds, and that is one
reason why there has been SO much op-
position to its enactment. No crooked
importer is in favor of it, that is certain
No foreign manufacturer is in favor of it,
and that also is certain. Now it happens
that certain of our merchants who are
interested in the great department stores
are also interested in foreign manufac-
turing plants and hence they may be con-
sidered in the light of foreign manufac-
turers
1t must also be understood that the
great department stores reap greater
profits from their. imported goods than
from those of domestic production. They
charge practically as much for goods i'm
ported from countries of lower produc-
tion costs as from those in which such
costs more nearly approximate those of
our own country, so they oppose the
American valuation system because, with
that system similar goods from all coun-
tries would pay the same amount of duty
whereas now they pay much less, the i'm
porters pocketing the difference.

Would Curtail Size of Army and Navy

\" HfLE the international confer
w ence on limitation of armament
Is meeting in Washington, con-
gress will stage a fight of its own to
further reduce Americas armament re-
gardless of the decisions of the con-
ference
Plans are already laid to wage a
spirited campaign in both the senate
and house to curtail the size of the
army and navy, cutting far below even
the minimum fixed for the present
fiscal year.
Fear Is felt that the prospective de-
bate and the probability of action by
congress while the conference is in
progress might seriously embarrass the
American delegates and handicap them
in their negotiations with the repre-
sentatives of the other principal pow
ers.
On the other hand, disarmament ad-
vocates contend that further curtail-
ment of American armament would not
interfere with the proceedings in the
international conference, but would
furnish an example of disinterested-
ness and assist in accomplishing the
primary object of the conference
namely: the limitation of armament
