GERMAN BANKS JOIN
TO TRANSFER GOLD.
Metal VIII BE Sent to England
to Guarantee Notes Given
to Belgium.

LoNpoN, Sept 20 (Associated Press).
The formation of consortiura Of
German banks organized for the trans
fer Of their actual gold or securities
held abroad to the Bank OF England
in return for credits for the guaranty
OF the German treasury notes offered
To Belgium, is thought to have been the
solution OF the acute reparations prob
lem between Belgium and Germany.
The reason for the absolute secrecy
on the part Of Berlin and London has
been because there Is an understanding
that neither France nor Belgium should
be advised where the securities and bank
deposits are located. 1t is pointed out,
however that the Bank of England,
being a private institution. could not
guarantee the notes offered to Belgium
without the physical possession of these
securities.
PARIS, Sept 90 ASSOCIATED Press) -
Belgium under her priority in repara-
tions will be entitled to SOC. 600 900
marks. gold. in addition to the 2700Qo,-
600 marks to be paid her by Germany
in discountable notes in the next few
days, according to estimates by the
reparations experts. This 500, 900. 900

mate of the amount that will be due

LONDON, Sept. 20.-An alarming pic
ture of internal conditions in Germany
in consequence Of the poor harvest and
the 'unfulfillable demands of her late
enemies was drawn by Dr. Karl Wirth,
German Chancellor, in an interview with
the Berlin correspondent of the West
minister Gdsette. Germany's only hope,
he intimated, lay in America.
Anyone can see for himself" he said
"the terrible sufferings of our middle
class. which to-day runs the risk of an
initiation. Indeed, one can say it is
already ceasing to exist We have done
all possible and are now at our wits
end There is serious discomfort among
the workers. The poverty in Germany
Is appalling, and there is fear OF social
revolution.
There is still some hope left.
America, which has been standing aside
so long. now perceives that the recon-
struction of the world is impossible with
out her assistance. Indeed it is time she
took steps in this direction; otherwise it
