The buying first started in the

mark, whose pre-war value was
23.s cents was selling at IA to
cents apiece. New York appeared
to be the distributing center.
Banks and foreign exchange
houses were flooded with orders
from small investors. Small for-
eign exchange houses sprang up
on prominent corners, cigar stores
and other business houses began
to do a f1ourishing business in the
mark.
While the wave of mark buying
was at it's height peddlers haWk-

streets, and one dlStrlDuter Is

Judgment is not subject to appeal.
Deputy Attorney General Richards
asked the court to examine the rec

THE HEATHER JUNKERS

On Saturday night, June 10. the
Junkers Of Germany launched a
mighty curse, the Curse of Odin and
Thor, against all their enemies.
Says the Ledger-They stood on the
hilltops out in the open country and
called upon the old Teuton gods for
vengeance against enimies without
and within German lands.
All night the bonfires were fed
and until sunrise the Junkers, reac-
tionaries and monarchists fed THEN
wrath. The Junkers turned pagan
old, primitive pagan. reviving the
heather festival Of midsummer and
looking back across the centuries of
Christianity to the heather gods Of
their forefathers.
Vengeance hatred and "Deutsch
land Ueber Allies" were preached
around the bonfires on the hills
These are the German 'irreconcila.
bles," the "bitter-enders' of the
Hohenzollern days.
1t is a curious exhibition, however
During the war there We're many re
ferences to the aold German, gods
and to the "old godt" Thor anc
Odin were mentioned many times
by German publicists and poets
This streak of paganism has beer
seized upon by the Junkers to civ,
strain of romance and glamour tt
their dying, or dead, cause
From his throne Odin could lool
over all the world. Any man VIII,
sat on his throne had the world be
fore him. But in all of German,
thrones have gone with the Hohen
zollerns.
Thor was a mighty man with
hammer, his strength belt and hi
gloves with whict he clasped hi
hammer handle. The German Tho
has lost his hammer. 1t was broker
| at Verdun, at Cambria, at Mon
KENNEL, in the Argonne and alonl
the Hindenburg line. His strength
belt and iron gloves were surrender
ed at Scapa Flow.
Wherefore. the Juhkersi an'
chauyinists, reactionaries and fol
lowers of the House of Hohenzollerl
may as we'll quit capering arount
bonfires on midsummernights. Their
is no help for them in the halffor
gotten gods of the Northland.
