GERARD OPTIMISTIC
/ OF GERMAN FUTURE
Does Not Believe Conditions
Are as Serious as Re
ported Here.

James w. Gerard, former Ambassador
rival aboard the Cunard liner Beren-
saria. after a two months European
trip. that the gravity Of conditions in
Germany had been overstressed in re-
ports reaching this country. .
Mr.. Gerard was in touch with the
heads of the British and French Cow
ernments during his stay. and although
he did not enter Germany he had oppor-
tunities for obtaining authoritative in
formation of conditions there. Asked II
the outbreak Of extremist activity. as
indicated by the assassination of For
eign Minister Rathenau. had anything
to do with his failure to visit Germany.
Mr.. Gerard replied that 1t had not, but
added:
There is no doubt that they would
have taken shot at me III they had
had the opportunity Ihflammatory
newspaper articles had appeared saying
that Gerard should not be allowed In
Germany. sent these to Rathenau,
and the Foreign Minister answered that
It was unfortunate that such silly news
paper utterances could not be curbed.
but that would be most welcome II ]
cared to come.
Germany Is divided into two camps.
Liberals and Junkers." Mr.. Gerard con-
tinued. ''Rathenau was murdered by
officers OF the Junker class. who are
bitterly hostile to the Liberals. but ]
don't believe that affairs are as bad as
pictured here.
Il am optimistic Of the outcome In
Germany. and believe that the surviving
Government will be modelled after ours
1t will have less of the parliamentary
form and will lay more stress on the ex-
eeutive end. The monarchist movement
will be broken down. as 1t Is In the mi-
nority. But the people. having disposed
Of this danger, will not allow themselves
to swing to the other extreme Of reac-
ton. as they have taken the example OF
Russia much to heart.
'Industrially, Germany is existing In
ridiculous manner. Everything Is
sacrificed to industry, and the only
ones making money are the manufactur-
ers who are able to sell their products
wages the landlords cannot collect
rents; but the Junkers are getting on
we'll because their money is invested in
land. and land always adjusts itself"
Mr.. Gerard deplored the political SEN
timent of Europe, and said that the
countries we're snarling and swapping at
each other as badly as before the wal.
He added that France seemed justified
In maintaining her large armies In view
of Trotzky's recent announcement that
the Russian army would be increased
by several millions.
'Tf were Frenchman just now I
don't believe I would consent to a re-
duction of the army" he said. IT
should have in mind the many disasters
my country had suffered at the hands Of
unfriendly neighbors in the forty-two in
vasions In French history"
Mr. Gerard's visit to France was the
first since the war; He was decorated
with the Star Of the Legion OF Honor by
Poincare, was given medal by French
ex-prisoners of war. and met Marshal
Foch and Gen. Buat. chief of the French
general staff In England, which he
had not visited In nine years. he played
tennis with Balfour and Bonar Law.

worthless as a medium or exchange.
In the foreign exchange market here

record price Of $.O0lSis. which means
that about $50 marks could be obtained
for st.
The market for German marks here
has been completely disorganized and
quotations are more or less nominal.
For instance ON Friday one bank
quoted marks at $.00is. but most of the
large institutions quoted them at $001sA.
which was the official low record prior
to Saturdays sales The high record
for German marks this year was

The acute situation in Germany with
the impending fear that she will de-

very disturbing factor in the foreign

seen most in the sympathetic decline

chaos is being actively discussed In Wall

The latest decline in marks means that
within three months German living costs
will have more than doubled and the
situation has no precedent. Germany's
predicament differs from Austrias year
ago In the fact that anarchy In Vienna
was prevented by the influence of the
American Relief Administration. while all

theory that the whole thing Is a bluff
on the part Of Germany still fingers in
some quarters of the Street, but that
angle is given very little serious thought.
1t Is pointed out, however. that Germany
has established enormous credits in for

up to local officials throughout the State

The rlon-union men told the sheriff
they had been forced to stop work yes

SHIP INSURANCE FIRMS .
RESIST BOGUS CLAIMS
Win Three Suits Charging
OlUners Sank Craft.

LONDON, July 8.-(Associated Press. }
The scuttling of vessels for realizing
on the insurance was carried on with
impunity in the days of sailing vessels,
and 1t Is sometimes tried in this age of
steamships. but the insurance companies
have perfected their measures of protec-
ton against unscrupulous owners, and
invariably win In the courts. Two cases
decided recently concerned the Greek
steamships Jonna and Gregorios. which
the judge declared were wilfully de-
stroyed while at sea with the connivance
of the owners
Another case which was heard for
five days before Justice Rowlatt involved
the fate of the Spanish steamship Leon
lea. built in America in 1919 and
bought by Spaniards for $105, 200. Since
then tonnage values have greatly de.
prcciated, and the vessels last voyage
was from Hampton Roads to the Medi-
terranean last year. She sank Off Gil
braltar, and the owners claimed 1900, 600
insurance. The company declined te
pay. charging the steamship was sunk
by the owners orders, and the judge up
held this contention. 1t is reported tina,
several similar cases are pending.

GERMAN LIVING COSTS
CONTINUE TO INCREASE
Further Rise Predicted as
Mark Drops in Value.

BERLIN, July s (Associated Press) -
The index figure representing the cost Of
living in Germany during the month Of
June is announced as 3.779 as against
3,462 for May, making an increase of
90 per cent. The rise in prices is more
marked in the smaller towns than in
the larger cities. The higher cost of liv-
ing Is due chiefly to the increased prices
Of foodstuffs, especially potatoes, and
also to higher prices for gas and elec-
tricity.
Vortoderts points out that the in
creased costs are due to the fall Of the
mark. 1t forecasts a still greater rise
in living expenses and attributes the
slump in marks to the Rathenau mur-
der. calling attention to the fact that
the mark has since fallen to half of its
previous value abroad. The paper says
that negotiations are proceeding for an
increase in civil service salaries due to
the low value of the mark and the in
creased cost Of living.

Officials of the Long Island fatty de-
MED the claims Of John ]. Dowd. head
OF the boilermakers and chairman OF the

Germany May Utilize
Soviet System of Barter

w yASHINGTON, July 8 (Asso-
w ciated Press).--The sug-
gestion was made In an in
formed German quarter to-day that
there must be recourse to the Rus
sian system Of barter If Germany
is to go on at all. Unable to pay
the American cotton grower and
the copper miner in any kind of
acceptable currency and without
coin, the German manufacturer
must offer in return for the raw
material a certain proportion Of the
finished product into which 1t is
made up.
1t Is fully realized by the Ger
mans that any such plan would en-
counter bitter opposition from the
labor interests Of the countries with
which Germany seeks to barter.
But that in their opinion as OBJ
tainable here is the only course
open to the maintenance Of Ger
man industries.
