Marks Fall Blamed
On German Strategy

LondOn.~ Aug. 0 (By Mai)-Var-
ious reasons have been given for the
depreciation of the mark. In a re-
cent circular Messrs. Samuel Mont
agu q Co., bankers and bullion ex-
perts, give an interesting example
of how Germany herself is weaken
ing the mark on foreign exchanges
by charging the demand for stable
currencies.t Prussian and Bayarian
banks, with State sanction, it is
stated, are attracting savings de-
posits on the undertaking to repay
the depositer in paper marks Of the
same gold value.
The Savings Gold Mark" thus
avoids the depreciation of the de-
pOsitS while they remain with the
bank. The bank avoids any loss in
this way. The Savings Gold Mark"
basis is merely c2mouf1ased dollars
When the depositor hands his saw
ings to the bank, to be kept say for
three months, at percent, the bank
at once buys a corresponding amount
of dollars and deposits them with
an American bank at, say, percent.
The result is that the depositor,
who is precludcd by law from send
ing his money abroad. is also by law
enabled to do so. while the bank
makes a more or less handsome pro-
fit both on exchange and on interest,
which profit the bank. also prohibited
and permitted by the law, leaves
abroad.

No Immediate Release
Of Captives Held By
Irish Free State

DuDllH aug. 10-lA. L. by MdH)-
Recent powers granted the Irish
Government have made 1t clear that
there will be no immediate release,
in a body, of the 10000 De Valera
followers. including 900 women, who
were seized during the late rebellion.
The government announces 1t will
continue the present practice of re-
leasing 300 month. These prison.
ers are given their liberty on pledge
of quiet behavior.
The government made its attitude
known following the enactment of a
Parliamentary law. permitting the
authorities to hold untried prisoners
for six months longer. Government
officials also pointed out that they
have power to make further arrests.
if necessary.
Treatment of prisoners continues
to be a subject of much discussion
and investigation. Protest meetings
are held every Sunday in Dublin,
where Mrs. Maude Come MacBride
and Mrs. Despard, sister Of the Earl
of Ypres, are the chief speakers.
They charge that the rebel prisoners
suffer from overcrowding In Jalls,
from lack of proper sanitation and
insufficient food. Beating of prison
ers is frequent. the women claim.
These complaints, when aired IN
the Dali. bring answers from MIN
listers to the effect that the Republl-
can prisoners are waging a deliber-
ate campaign Of disorderliness in 1ali
in order to make political capital OF
their resulting discomforts. Such
was the procedure of the ministers
themselves against the British in the
old days. the Free State the ofhcers
say, and they charge that the rebels
| are initiating the tactics which they
employed.
At a recent session, government
officials read letters from prisoners 10
their wives saying they were we'll ted
! and cared for. Critics of the prisons
discounted the letters, contendlng
that the captives made light OF thelr
| sufferings to reassure relatives.
| Little has developed to substanu-
ate the charges that the prisoners
are cruelty treated. Evidence was
] nroduced at one investigation con-
! firming the allegations of beating
| captives, but these appeared 10 pc
! isolat ted cases. Numerous prisoners,
on being freed, have told newspaper
correspondents that. they found the
| tails irksome, but were not lnhunah-
| ly treated. .o
able to lack of space and the TACT
| that the total Of prisoners is far IN
excess of Ireland's Jail accommooa-
| tons. o,,+-
The government say its represent
atives, els making every feasoliap ne
! effort toward humane treatment "a
those in detention. To criticism OF
! the imprisonment itself. however
they answer that the 10000 captiyes
have taken part in reasonable re,
volt have shot down soldiers ana ;
carried on a campaign of terrorism
which throws the Black and Tan re-
cimc into the shade
