German Public Over It's Panic.
Another striking feature in the for
eign situation is the way the German
mark for nearly month has been
virtually stationary, despite the
further prodigious increase of nearly
300 billions In the outstanding paper
issue and the prospect by the first Of
the year the trillion level will have
been reached.
1t is hard to account for this by
any Of the known facts, but it is
clear that for some reason-whether
1t is confidence in the new ministry
and the belief that 1t will succeed in
working out Germany's desperate
financial problems. or whether it is
that some positive measures have
been secretly inaugurated to sta
lbilize the mark-the German public
has got over its panic and has ceased
to throw over its holding of the paper
| currency in exchange for securities
and foreign moneys.
1t is quite possible that in the end
| it will be found that plans for deal
ing with the financial crisis are much
| further along than people have beeh
led to believe by anything that has
been allowed to escape into the news

4 Sterling, Sept. 27.-Entering the
postoffice at Tampico by prying
in the front door. robbers entered
the rear room Of the office early
yesterday morning and by well
placed charge of nitro-glycerin,
blew the door off the small safe
and took everything it contained
with the exception of two pennies
which they dropped On the floor.
Postmaster Edwin Temple would
not divulge the amount of cash and
supplies taken, including stamps
and postcards, but remarked that
the robbers had made a profitable
haul.
The only clew left by the robbers
were some heavy tools, which it
was learned later belonged to a
blacksmith shop q blocl1 away
which they Had visited before en-
tering the postoffice. The job was
done BY experts, as was evidenced
by the smooth. way In WHICH they
worked.
The fact that the safe had been
blown was not discovered until
yesterday morning when the post
master opened the office. The room
where the safe was located was
badly wrecked.
Several months ago, robbers
nearly got into the Tampico bank
but, were frightened away. 1t is
expected that a complete report Of
the loss will be made known as
soon as the postal authorities
make an investigation.
