When on the Losing Side,

The securities of the Hamburg
American and North German Lloyd
steamship companies ranked as
reasonably conservative investments
before the World war. On April
these companies will call in bonds
issued at a par value of $50, 500, 600.
The redemption will cost only $4,000
the bonds happen to be in marks in
stead of dollars. The sound American
business man who ten years ago put
100000 into these securities will get
back something less than $31. One
advantage of our having won the war
instead Of Germany is that Liberty
bonds are still worth from 80 to 80
cents to the dollar. The kaiser can
paper his house at Doom with dollar
bills, if he wants to, but it will cost
him 1928 a square foot to do it, plus
paste and labor. The steamship bonds
would be much cheaper.-American

reputation. But it was late border
