held their sea captains by giving
them pensions. Every large company
that sent ships out of Hamburg gave
it's captains a pension of 5000 marks
a year after the age Of retirement.
This was practically gold. and it
meant $4,000 per annum. Most Of the
CAPTAINS were thrifty and the average

man had saved enough to have an in
come of 10000 marks, or $500 a year
additional, so that when he left the
steamer he could sit down to what he
thought was a comfortable old age on
an income OF $4,000 marks, or $4,000.
There were many such captains.
What is their condition today? They
have still the same pensions and the
same income in marks, but tho marks
are in paper and their purchasing
power has fallen from $4,000 a year
to about 40 cents or less than 1 cent a
week. This is the income of the man
who has been thrifty and saving. The
man who has only his pension has an
income of about II cents.
What can such men do? They might
live off their relatives. but their
families have also been ruined. The
answer is difficult. Some of the old
sea captains are acting as night
watchmen, others are doorkeepers in
business establishments and others
are trying to learn petty trades which
old mon can follow. This is merely
one class of the vast number of peo-
pie who have been ruined by the
breaking down of the financial system
Of Germany.
The fall of the mark has meant life
to the debtor and death to the credi-
tor. 1t has affected every mortgage
by forcing it's holder to take 81 gold
value for every $4,000 he got as a
loan before or during the war. To
give q concrete instance, there Is a
piece Of property hero in Berlin which
had q ten-year mortgage put on 1t in
1913. The mortgage was for 100000
marks or what was then equal to
$4,000 in gold. That mortgage comes
due this year and it's owner can col
leot no more than 100000 marks. He
will get it in paper and it will have
gold value of only two or three
dollars. In the meantime / happen
to know that the man who borrowed
this 100000 marks has used it to buy
other properties, which, II Germany
comes back. will sell for more than
$4,000. In that case he will have In
