Receipts are estimated at 1900, 000,-

ternal budget. therefore, a brutal en-
forcement of the new tax policy will
be necessary.
That the internal budget is almost
the same as that of 1918 is being
proved, as follows: The internal bud
get for 1913 shows receipts of $685.
100000 marks and proceeds, including
payment of interest of 3,721, 100000
marks.
Finance experts are of the opinion
that further reduction of the internal
budget is possible and Indispensable.
considering the cessation of high
pre-war military expenditures and the
reduction of administration, inasmuch
as the expenditures for the external
budget necessitated by the peace
treaty must still be added.
Today the rate for the rentenmark
has been fixed at SOC. 1000, 900. 900 paper
marks. The cabinet has decided to
send 100. 900, 0OO.0 900 rentenmarks into
the Ruhr. whereby support of the
Rrhr and Rhine district will be con-
linued for about ten days.

TO the federal authorities in order
to have definite action taken

RENTENMARK LAST
HOPE OF GERMANY
New Currency May Stay
Financial Chaos and Uni

BERLIN, November 16.-The new
rentenmark, which was brought out
Thursday. is Germanys last hope of
avoiding utter financial chaos this
winter-a chaos which would almost
certainly have as its consequence
universal refusal of the peasants to
sell food and consequent famine in
the cities, the fearful possibilities of
which are beyond agination.
The new currency is exchangeable
on demand for bonds on which the in
terest is guaranteed by industrial, as-
ricultural and other associations and
hence-theoreticall at least-it is
fully protected. The issue is limited
by law to 1900. 0O0,OO gold marks.
With issuance of the new rerten-
mark, the government definitely
ceased printing unsecured paner
Inarks-or SO 1t has informed the pub
lie. In the future paper marks may
be printed only to the extent that
they can be guaranteed by gold taxes
Fate Can't BE Predicted.
The fate of the new currency can
not be predicted. 1t is probable that
no competent economist would even
attempt confident prediction as to
whether it will retain its value or
sink like the paper mark. This is be-
cause the fate Of the new currency
rests partly on psychological factors
which do not usually enter into cur
rency problems. For instance, it can
not be foretold whether the German
boarding mania will cause the public
to keep the new currency out of cir
Culation
For this reason, DR.. Hjalmar
Schacht, president of the Darn
Staedter and National Bank, has been
appointed commissary of currency.
with almost dictatorial powers over
technical and tactical operations. one
element of his STACEY has been the
issue OF a large quantity of renten-
marks at the outset, in order to pre-
vent the money from trickling grad
ually into the pockets OF spectators.
Another was to put the new money
into circulation in the form Of wages
for state employees. whose first weeks
wage will be 80 per cent in renten-
marks, with subsequent payments of
larger proportions in the new money.
Forced Printing.
The government has bravely forced
through the printing Of large amounts
If the new currency. despite the
printers strike, by filling the strikers
places with strike breakers, who
were coerced into accepting employ
ment by threat of cutting off the
unemployment dole. Hence a delay
was avoided which might have been
psychologically serious.
Coincidentally with the issuance of
the new currency, the minister of
finance proposes a German budget
based on the gold mark He places
the sum in paper marks actually
spent for tn" internal budget in 1920
at S1OO00.0O0 gold marks. the sum
in 1921 at 1,190,000.000 gold marks

DR.. MAYO SAYS WATER
IN U. S. AIDS PROHIBITION

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, November 1.-THE taste
for alcoholic liquor is acquired and
is not basic, and so long as the
United States has an adequate sup
ply of pure water there exists no
real reason why prohibition should
leave the land, DR.. William J. Mayo
of Rochester, Mimi, noted surgeon
and physician. said last night. DIR.
Mayo is in Boston attending the dedi-
cation of the Thorndike memorial
laboratory. an addition TO the city
hospital.
The native American of Anglo
Saxon blood is a water drinker by
nature" Dr. Mayo said. "The boot
leggerS and traffickers i'm Illicit liquor
are usually of continental European
blood.
"Out my way, in the west. prohibit
ton has done q great good among
the Anglo-Saxons and descendants of
northern European races, which have
had a good supply of pure water to
drink for Centuries.
"In the older countries of Europe
water is so unsafe that the prudent
traveller drinks the native wine and
beer as being the lesser of two evils
"These countries cannot hope 10
have prohibition until their sources
of water supply are above reproach."
