LONDON. Aug. 10.
I'm a single week the German
mark has become almost
- valueless. and The Hague con.
ference, assembled to inquire into
economic conditions In Russia, has
broken down. The collapse OF the
mark means that Germany may
drift into bankruptcy. famine and
chaos. The failure at The Hague
means that the few poor scraps
saved from the wreckage Of Genoa
have been swept away. On the In
vitation of Mr.. Lloyd George,
thirty.four nations solemnly agreed
at Genoa not to attack each other
