BOYS SEE THE SIGHTS

Mr.. and Mrs. L. B. Ramey and
family have returned from Augusta
where they visited Mrs. Ramey's
brother and sister, Mrs. Edmunds
and Conway Ferguson. The Ramey
children took in the baseball ground,
which is in the city park and covers
ten acres. Five games of ball were
played at the same time, which to
the ordinary mind must be worse
than a five ring circus.

of his young boy friends around to
a fried chicken supper. After doing
full justice to the chicken supper
they were invited to take in the pic

Eugene O'Brien and the location was

See Danger in
Curtailnent OF
German Money
Dangerous Crisis Predicted
by End of Year Unless
Some Method Is Found
to Stabilize the Mark
Capital Needed for Crops
Punctuation Curtails Cred
its Within and Causes
Shrinkage of Imports

Copyright. 1921 New York Tribune Inc.
BERLIN, July 23.-The demand for
eurtailment Of the issuance Of paper
money in Germany Is being voiced
loudly by Allied officials here. Despite
the average Reiohsbank issue Of H.
600 900 900 marks weekly, Germany has
been for some time suffering a money
shortage. Although not TO the same
acute degree, Germany is approaching
the position Of Russia in this respect
where. despite the fantastic figures
reached by the currency circulation,
there is a money famine.
il Germany this situation was FIRST
noticed early this year. contrary 20 the
condition in 1921, when the demand for
money was less than the supply. At
present financial and industrial enter
prises which a few months ago were
able TO extend credits now find them
selves in the throes Of a money short
age. Unless a remedy is found, Ger
many before the end Of the year will
reach a crisis which will shake the eco
nomic, industrial and financial strue-
turo 20 It's foundations.
German hnanciers are asking them
selves how they can curtail the issu-
ance Of paper money in the fact OF the
shortage. In their opinion curtailment
can result only from a sterilization Of
the mark, which is impossible without
radical revision OF the reparation de-
mands. Capital is needed for harvest
ing the German crops, this situation
being particularly acute in the south.
Repairs and extensions should also
be undertaken on large scale by in
dustrial corporations which also need
20 be financed. German capitalists be-
lieved they could extend new enter
prises at cheap German costs and real
lie huge profits when the equalization
Of prices throughout the world became
an accomplished fact. The unprece-
denied decline Of the mark, however,
has destroyed this delusion by shoot
ing German prices sky-high.
The effect in the foreign markets has
been seen in a curtailment Of exports
20 Germany. Inside Germany mer-
chants and manufacturers are con-
fronted By lack Of money, because
the rise in prices swells the necessity
Of doubling capital. The huetuation OF
the mark also causes the banks to cur
tail credits.
There is no doubt that the present
crisis might have been prevented or
considerably modified by the govern
ment through greater control Of in
