From The 7ribune's Washington Burcdu
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The Secre-
tary of the Treasury announced to-day

80, 1922, S64,837 900 face amount of
Liberty bonds were purchased and re-
tired by the Treasury out of repay
ments of principal by foreign govern
ments
These purchases were made pursuant
to Section 3 of the second Liberty bond

German Fin an ce

Mark Manipulation
Says the Government and

Stabilize Exchange; Fu-

Ru cable to Ths Tribune

BERLIN, Aug. 13.---France's charge
that Germany is deliberately sabotag-
ing the standing Of the mark and push
ing it downward to compel a reduc-
tion in the German obligations to the
Allies Is cmphaticaliy denied by Fin
ance Minister Hermes in an interview
with The New York Tribune. "This
charge lacks all foundation" he said,
for the German boerses do not in any
wise initiate exchange movements.
These movements come entirely from
bourses abroad, with the mark in Ber-
lin following their quotations. So great
has been the decline Of the mark
abroad that German spectators have
been unable to manipulate It to their
own advantage because Of the lack Of
operating resources"
He continued: German industrial
circles, on the other hand, have done
all they could TO help stabilize the
mark, for it's persistent decline
threatens German industry with utter
paralysis and the country as a whole
with a severe economic crash. The
marks constant violent fluctuations in
volve the complete wiping out of
spectators.
"As for the government, every addi-
tional decline in our exchange merely
increases our financial burdens and
throws the internal budget out of gear
The Reichsbank has used virtually all
Its available reserve funds in an effort
to dam the marks persistent decline
and further Developments are now de-
pendent upon political forces abroad,
entirely beyond our control"

BY Cable to The Tribune

Copyright. 1922. New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, Aug. 1S.-The Allied Con-
ference completely dominated the
movements of foreign exchanges this
week, while the London Stock Ex-
change remained dull and featureless.
Before the reparation negotiations
proceeded far, however, the general
feeling speaad that, while there would
not be rupture in the entente, there
also would have to ensue another con-
ference to tackle the reparation and
debt problems as a whole.
London fnanciers have memories of
the conference here more than year
ago, when the Allied sanctions decided
against Germany, and they also know
that the conference was unproductive.
For instance, Britain, which immedi-
ately began collecting the tax of 20
per cent on exports to Britain, in ac-
cordance with the London decision, re-
ceived in more than year only s6,000,-
900 from this source. The expectation
that the present conference would pro-
duce moratoriums has been discounted
long since, and since there seems no
probability of any arrangement where
by an international loan to Germany
will be made possible, they are In
clneu TO Whfk tiHie anu W noPe .ia
the Continental exchanges will muddle
along some how until the next con-
ference.
Just why the problem of inter-Allied
debts should have been postponed-for
there is general agreement that this
shall form the principal topic for the
next or sixteenth conference--it is diff
ficut to say. 1t is An open secret that
certain departments Of the British gov
ernment wished this conference to con-
Germ itself Herewith, but they were
overruled by Lloyd George. 1t is
merely to repeat the common expires
sion in business circles to say that this
weeks conference was busying itself
with technicalities while leaving the
orauer issuea untouched

KoENIGsBERG Germany, Aug 10.
Exhibitors numbered 2,340 at the
opening of the Koenigsberg Merchan-
disc Fair to-day. Of these $40 were
textile manufacturers. Trade repre-
sentatiyes of the Soviet government
were observed among the buyers, but
they were doing no business with the
sellers, it was apparent A heavy de-
mand for textiles from eastern Europe
was reported, but there were no stock
goods available to fill this demand. AS
a rule there was considerable disincli-
nation among all buyers to place any
orders, owing to the policy of the
manufacturers to reserve the RIGHT to
alter quotations before deliveries are
made, in order to insure themselves
against loss in the fluctuations of the
mark All goods must be paid for in
foreign currencies.

PARIS, Aug. 13.-French stocks are
ell higher. due to better business which
francs This speculative sentiment,
however, is premature. as the war
loans remain stationary, and before
business can really pick up it is neces-
sary that they join the upward move
ment and that interest rates descend
lower than the present 6.37 per cent. q
That great supply of capital Is
available is evidenced by the latest re-
port, showing investments Of $3.50 000,-
900 francs, compared with 5000 900, 900
in 1921.
A rapid drop in interest rates is in
evitable IL only the continued repara-
tion advances for Germany's account
could be stopped This is doubly i'm
portant, because the consolidation of
the French floating debt should be eff
fected at rather than at per cent.
Cost of living figures are 30 per cent
lower than in 1920 and approximately
equal to the index at the end of 1919.
The uncertainty Of the results Of the
conference of last week depressed Con-
tinental exchange values, which fol-
lowed the French barometer during the
early part of the week, but the latter
part saw tendency toward recovery.
The French plan to control definite
sources of revenue, such as exports,
Ruhr coal and state properties, has
been approved by Belgium and Italy,
their only objection being to the estab-
lishment of Rhine customs barrier
encirclng the Ruhr. This latter plan
has practically been abandoned.
international experts agree that these
measures would bring in 1900, 100000
gold marks annually. The English con-
tend, however, that this plan would
humiliate Germany, and thereby be-
come less effectiye

in view of tho lower level Of selling

JOE EARMAN'S JUSTICE

West Palm Beach, April 30-(By
Associated Press) s).-The municipal
court in Jacksonville, presided over by
Judge J. ]. Beckham, formerly a con-
ducter on the Seaboard Air Line rail-
way, is said to be probably the most
interesting tribunal in the state, be-
cause of the original manner in
which Judge Beckham runs it, but the
local court, presided over by Judge
Joe L. Earman apparently is running
it a close second. Judge Earman
several days ago taxed defendant in
liquor case $500 and then turned
loose an automobile speeder and gave
him money out of his pocket to buy
something to eat.
William Bumbaugh and his wife
were arrested for speeding through
the city limits at 80 miles an hour
Brought before Judge Earman, Bum
baugh said all the money he had was
S17O but that he had enough gaso-
line in his car to take him to Jack
sonville where he expected to obtair
position and make enough to carry
his wife and himself on their way tt
their home in Cleveland, Ohio.
"When did you have breakfast? p
Judge Earman asked.
"We have not eaten yet, for we lef
Miami before five o'clock and we wer'
arrested before we had breakfast,
was the reply.
"Well, you cannot travel far on tn
money you have and If you spend i
for breakfast you will have none lef
for lunch. Here, take this" said tn
judge, handing the couple 81. &c
out and get your breakfast and be o.
your way"

ANNIVERSARY SERMON

During the last week came the 109th
anniversary of the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows, in commemoration of
which Rev. C. H. Trout, himself an
Odd Fellow, was asked to preach the
sermon at his, the Christian church,
at p. m. Sunday.
At the appointed hour, the members
of Tulula Lodge who attended the
service, marched to the church from
their hall. They found the pretty
little church simply but artistically
decorated, and the minister and fair
sized congregation awaiting.
There was first some excellent
music, the church having a frst-class
choir. Mrs. C. E. Winston sang one
of her beautiful solos.
Mr.. Trout preached an eloquent and
appropriate sermon, which was en-
joyed by other members of the con-
gregation as much as by the Odd Eel
lows. AS they rose to leave the
church, the members Of the lodge re-
ceived warm greeting from the
pastor and congregation and cordial
invitation to come again.

PUT THEORY IN PRACTICE

ior engineering class of the Uniyers-
ity of Florida in putting their theo-
retical knowledge to a practical test
recently operated for twenty-four
hours the electric and ice plant of the
Southern Utilities Company here.
The students maintained a regular
24-hour shift without rest and did ey-
erything from coaling the furnaces to
making tests of the exhaust gases.
They weighed the water consumed by
the boilers, registered the energy ex-
pended and kept statistical record IN
15-minute periods throughout their
tour.

emergency didn't develop and every
thing was left to the coming engi
