The credit balances in the United
States OF German nationals as distin-

are now at new high record. having
attained point which exceeds pre-war
days. according to information in bank
Ing circles. Two factors are behind the
policy of Germans In building up credit
balances In countries other than Ger
many. One OF them is fear Of complete
collapse OF the mari--their action helped
to drive the mark down to new tow rec
ords The other Is the fear OF conflscatory
taxation levies. On the other hand the
balances of the German Government
here are relatively low, the Government
having paid off $4,000, 900 Of the credits
secured TO complete the reparations pay
ment on August 81 and having arranged

continues to be expressed to tho effect
that the German Government will be un-

about her home and her church, and
for many years she was devout work
er in the Central Presbyterian church
of Des Moines, and during her resi-
dence in Manchester she worked with
equal zeal for the interest Of the
church in this community.
Her passing brings sorrow to many
of the older people OF this community.
