German Marks Now Regarded As Worthless

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-(By As sociated Press. )-German marks have lapsed to the point of worthlessness and practically all of the New York bankers and foreign exchange houses have discontinued handling them. A canvass of the financial district failed to disclose a single sale of German marks exchange. Nominal quotations ranged from 30 to 80 cents a trillion.
 The passing of the mark as a medium of exchange, predicted long before it became necessary to make quotations in terms of trillions, has raised the prob- lem of how to get money into Germany. Most of the traffic is now transacted in dollars, sterling and guilders.
 For this reason bankers have advised customers desiring to send money to Germany to do so in small denominations- that is, to send 10 checks or notes of $10 each instead of one piece of S100. This, at least they say, permits the recipient to get back a minimum of change as purchases are made.
 Recent cable dispatches tell ing of the issuance by the Ger man government of dollars "schatzanweisung," or dollar treasury bills, apparently issued against the dollar balance in this country, have aroused the curi- osity of American bankers.

NOT IN HIS BOOK


 There is one land of which MT. Bryan can never be contended citi- zen. and that is no-man's land. He was born for the trenches. He is in capable of neutrality.
 His whole life has been lived in terms of battles in which. as he seemed to believe. all the right was on one side and all the wrong on the other. He thinks in terms of very black black and very white white.
 The cleansing wind of the critical spirit never blows through his mind. No antiseptic doubts come to him to counteract the poisonous dogmatism that infects all but the most vigilant minds. The word alternative" is not in his dictionary. /
 In religion his creed Is a closed case. He will argue for it. but not about 1t. He seems to feel that his business is not to hunt for truth, but to defend it. Truth, 10 him. is a deposit to be guarded, not growing something to be discovered--Glenn Frank in the Century Magazine.

POLITICAL HARMONY IS
 SEEN THROUGH MUSIC
Paderewski Hopes To Prove It
 During American Tour
 By RAYMOND CHAPTER (By Leased Wire to The Age-HeraId)

WASHINGTON. Nov S.-The polit- teal spotlight has swung suddenly on an ageing invalid, living here in hermit-like seclusion. For the mo- ment he has the status of an oracle and a word from his lips may have far-reaching political effects.
 Woodrow Wilson is to deliver a message to the world next Saturday night-his first formal utterance since he left the White House nearly three years ago. Radio broacasting apparatus is being installed to give his words the greatest possible cir culation. Statesmen and politicians are waiting for this message with mingled emotions. Those who have struggled to carry along the fight which has smouldered since Wilson's own fires of energy burned out, are waiting expectantly, confident that he will rekindle the members of the Wilson policies. Others, those who triumphed in 1920. and those of Will sons own party who have quietly turned their backs on the League of Nations, are awaiting this message with foreboding, for they stand in fear of his caustic phrases.
 Two Reasons For Strength.
 There are two reasons for the strategic strength which Wilson now possesses.
 First, the latest Sally of the ad- ministration into European affairs has convinced many that ultimately this country will have to mingle more freely with the nations abroad and thta the isolation policy which has prevailed for three years is a temporary one which cannot be con tiued much longer. This gives the Wilson principles an air of being in evitable, and message at this par ticular time-When the United States is trying to adapt it's policy to that of the allies in the matter of repa- rations adjnstn ent twill stir Wilson's dormant, following to life.
 Secondly. the democrats are leader less. They have no guiding voice or personality. Democratic politicians, recalling the wreckage which showed them under three years ago Friday, want to ditch the League of Nations entirely when they go into the 1924 antagonsm to Wilson and the league ruined them in 1920. Now they want to leave the leag euissue alone, This is particularly true of William G. Me Adoo and oscar Underwood who are expected to be the most aggressive candidates for the nomination. Friends of these two men are some what uneasy, however, lest Wilson should break loose with his annihi- lating criticism. They fear ten words from Wilson more than an organized political fight by any other leader. McAdoo In washington.
 McAdoo is spending the week here with his family. Although they are stopping at a hotel, they visit at the Wilson home every day. It is natural to suppose that the son-in-law and Wilson talk politics to some extent. But whether Wilson looks with favor on McAdoo's candidacy is a question that puzzles everyone. Some assert

that Wilson is opposed to McAdoo and will make his opposition Known pub licly if McAdoo declares himself. Others assert with equal vehemence that Wilson favors his son-in-law but does not wish to embarrass him by public indrosement which would revive the crown prince" eplthet. Wilson has said nothing and proba bly,, as in the past, will speak for himself when he feels moved to. Until that time assertions of self apointed spokesmen should be re- garded with suspicion.
