~ Y vote of Sc to 3 the Board
- of Aldermen yesterday passed
the amendment TO the traffic
ordinance providing that all drivers
of motor or horse drawn vehicles
should be equipped with traffic
cards supplied by the Police De-
partment. Every time a policeman
observes a violation of the traffic
rules he must note it upon the card
with the date. When the sixth
violation is noted the officer must
serve the driver with a summons.
John Harriss, Special Deputy
Police Commissioner, said between
200 and 800 traffic officers had to
leave their posts to appear in court

/ bpectaI correspondent OF Inc 6f6hf FAHS iFtbuHes
Copyright, 1922. BY Great Falls Tribune,
Washington, Dec. 24.-One hears
! f~anatic stories from Germany con-
corning the price of marks gagged by
the standards of American money, but
| there is one lady in Washington Just
| at present, who has had a sad story of
German money depreciation brought
sharply home to her.
When she went to Germany a little
more than a decade ago, to become the
! bride of a distinguished Germany, she
took with her her entire fortune, con-
sisting of about $4,000. This money
she invested in a home, and a very
splendid home it was. Leaving Ger
many a few months ago to come back
to this country for an extended So
ionrn she was offered some two and
Il half million marks for the place. In
pre-war days this would have been
something like $780, 600. AT the time
the offer was made, however. it really
represented $500 in American money.
Naturally the lady did not wish to sell
for that mount. She chose instead
to rent her house and she is getting for
it today just exactly S1.5O a year. In
German meney she is receiving 1900
marks. which normally would be $4,000,
but when the lease WIS signed the
mark was selling at. the rate of 5000
marks to the dollar.
Silver Lining.
This story is not without its silver
lining. however, the lady had "A mort
gage on her home for $4,000 marks. 1t
was negotiated before the wa and rep
resented at the time the equivalent of
about $ $500. She paid the mortgage
off the other day and it cost her ex-
actly 1886.
The persons hard hit in all Germany
have been the Morgan holders, the in
vestors in long-term loans. The money
lenders. taking short time for collateral
have enriched themselves, but the
mortgage holders have been the VIC
Tins of wild fluctuations of the mark.
The German government have adopted
no legislation for their protection. AS
a matter of fact it is difficult to see
how any exchange can be framed in
their behalf. Another class of German
citizens upon whom the blow of a de-
moralized currency has fallen are the
policy holders in insurance companies.
The man, who in war days, could in
sure his life for $4,000 marks was

considered in especially good cire,,m-
stance; if he died at this time his bene-
ficiaries would receive only about $3.50
instead of the confidently expected
$1,000. The insurance conditions mt
urally are chaotic at the present fine
for a nan who could insure his life nj
the present value of the mark for 40
or 50 millions might be unable to nav
even a tenth of the premium if the
marks should take n sudden squirt m
ward. Already it has gone up from
5000 to the dollar to something like
600 to the dollar on the news that
America is about to change her policy
and take a renewed interest in Euro
pean affairs.
Exchange Rates.
Then the tremendous exchange rates
are against them, not only in this coup-
try, but in virtually every country of
the. world except Austria. one naturally
wonders how Germany is able to main
tain her embassies. legations and Dip
lomatic missions abroad. 1t is true
these embassies and legations are be-
ing economically administered. They
are not the scenes of glamor nor any
sort of expensive habits that enter.
but the cost in German marks is enor-
nous just the same.
The answer to the problem has been
found. The embassy in Washington

was a crude effort to grab these rich
oil lands. Even in the Polish press
Petrouchevyitch is demanding an in
v%estigation Of the methods in effect.
The Poles say 40 ner CEN of the
population voted. The Tkrainians say
80 per cent. What the League of Ma
tons will do about it remain to be
seen.
Meanwhile spirited scenes are being
enacted in the market square of the
cities-Tarnopol. Lemberg, Przemysl-
all noted in the story Of the early years
of the world war. Bugles sound and the
clear notes of an old peasant melody
come from the air. Peasants fall to
their knees in prayer Cobbled streets
resound with the clatters of horsemen.
Two abreast. fifty strong, sometimes
more, they ride to the square. They
halt at the appraised hand Of their
leader. CARRIED in shabby knapta and
high fur cap.
The wires are down." he says, the
Polish generals in arms are prisoners
We come to tell you that the republic
still lives. We desire food Bread and
meat in plenty is procured for them.
Fifteen minutes later they are back on
horses and away.
A report later goes forth that an
armed band has invaded the territory
and two Polish generals were killed. So
it goes everywhere. And the whole is
directed from this city where the exiIed
president and his national council wait
for word hat Woodrow Wilson has
secured the right Of self-determination
for the people who semi a bishop and a
dozen priests all the way to Paris from
the mountains, four years age this

knees that their people participate in

Some of the other prisoners did the
same thing. Some escaped. Bernard
Jones, another survivor, and William
Goodman. a farmer, also testified to
that effect. "You don't know this
scab breed like I do. The only way to
stop the breed is to kill them" said
Jones and Otis Clark, one Of the de-
PENDANTS, who are charged with melting
the crowd to violence.
Then the march Of death began.
Before it had gone far. c. X. Mcdowell.
superintendent of the mine, began to
play out. as he could not move fast
with a wooden leg. Someone in the
mob punched him in the back with the
muzzle Of a pistol and said to his COM
p%anions, Hes given out. No use to
go any further with him."
Let George Nelson, an eye witness,
take up the story:
"A man with a revolver opened a
way and two men went south with
Mcdowell. Otis Clark was one of them

Later, Nelson went down the road
and found McDowell's body under a
clumb of bushes.
If the five men on trial are acquitted
in the face of testimony that has been
given, the prosecution admits that it
will be useless to try any Of the 200
others who have been indicted for the
murder. The sentiment of the COM
munity is Overwhelmingly in favor Of
the accused, not that the horrors are
denied, but because it felt that the
murders were justified.

and the consulate general in New York
are self supporting. The fees they
get for grain going into Germany on
American passports and the various
commercial fees collected are more
than sufficient to meet all the
necessary running expenses of the
diplomatic and consulate offices in
America. As a matter of fact the
fees collected are so large that the
Washington Embassy is enabled to sup
port several Of the German legislations
and embassies in South America. This
prosperity is due in part tt a notable
example set by the American govern
ment in charging $40 for passports and
similar sums for American visitors.
Formerly an American passport cost a
dollar. Foreign passports cost any
where from 80 cents to a dollar. Bur
taking their cue from America. the
German government has put UP the
fees. thus adding to the high cost Of
