HOW AMERICANS ARE PAYING
THE GERMAN INDEMNITY

How Americans Are Paying the
German Indemnity" Is the title Of an
article in a recent number of the
Literary Digest, which describes what
appears to be an organized campaign
to rob. cheat and defraud American
visitors, and which the German
Government, various German NUM-
cipalities, German shop-keepers and
hotel managers all take part 1t is
limited that the Germans may be plan
ming to pay their indemnity entirely
from the forced contributions Of the
Yankee.
AS a starter, every American enter
ing Germany is required to deposit
LOCO marks with the Government.
1T Is politely called deposit" said
an official of the American Express
Company, who is authority for the
news OF this recent German custom.
But, 1t is a deposit for keeps and on
some pretext or other 1t remains in
Germany" After this introduction
into the country, the American visit
or is doubly or quadruply charged for
everything, up to the point of "all the
traffic will bear"
II is said that the Prussian Parlai-
ment, when 1t reassembles, a proposal
will come up to charge foreign visit
ors TO Prussia visitors tax to be
fixed In gold marks and collected at
the pre-war rate of exchange. The
tentatively proposed charge is four
gold marks per day. Visitors, there
fore, are to be charged 81 per day for
the privilege OF spending their other
dollars in Prussia. Numerous COM
plants made by Americans who have
been heeced by the German Govern
ment, German shop-keepers or German
hotel managers, have been confirmed
by many American diplomatic and
consular representatives, who have
frequently informed the State Depart
ment at Washington requesting inter.
vention. In the bulletin boards OF
the American Conculate General in
Berlin, as well as In all American
official buildings throughout Germany,
there appeared an official warning to
Americans, telling them not to make
purchases in Germany on account Of
the German system of holding up
Americans at Bremen and Hamburg,
as well as at inland frontiers, taking
the goods from them and filming them
heavily. This is done under the Ger.
man law, demanding from so to 200 per
cent taxes payable to the Govern
ment on all articles for export

Finger Print Investigat-

Ex-Convict S ON New

Washington, May 23.-( (By The
Associated Press. - Discovery
through finger printing" that
forty nine of the 400 employees of
the registry division of the New
York postoffice had criminal
records was reported to President
Harding today by Acting Post
master General Bartlett upon his
return from an investigation of
the New York office. All of the
forty-nine have been dropped from
the service, Mr.. Bartlett said.
Robbery Thwarted
The acting postmaster general
told the president the discovery
came during his inquiry into the
arrest last Thursday Of seven en-
ployes of the New York office,
which arrests, postoffice officials
assert, cleared up postal robberies
extending over the last six months
and Involving nearly $4,000, 900.
The arrests also are said to have
thwarted a gigantic robbery plan
ned for last Friday night in the
registry division itself
Mr.. Bartlett declared that the
men arrested had admitted that
they had secured employment In
the registry division for the pur-
pose of robbing the mails.
ALI to Be Printed
Mr. Bartlett said he had ordered
that all of the 5000 employees of
the New York office be required
to have finger print impressions
made. Both Postmaster Morgan
and himself, he added, "were fin
ger printed" and he was of the
opinion that such a step would be
of benefit to the service, elimin-
ating the untrustworthy and pro-
tecting the great bulk of honest
employees.
Mr. Bartlett will return. to
New York the latter part Of the
week to continue his investiga-
tions, after which it is said he will
likely visit the Chicago postoffice
where numerous thefts have oc-
CURED recently in the registry and
mail order divisions.
