CHRISTIAN NOT A
 GREAT SECRETARY
 BUT REAL SUCCESS
Tried To Be What Harding Desired, And Made Good
 On Job

WASHINGTON, August 1S.-A re- vealing light on the public service of George Christian, Jr., secretary 60 the late President. was afforded by Mir. Christian himself as he bade newspaper friends goodbye here yesterday after formally rendering in person his resigaa ton to Presi- dent Coolidge After thanking them for their kindness toward him Christian said in the most informal fashion:
 T bnow a lot of you have been disappointed in me You think l haven't been a great secretary, and ! haven't. l didn't want to be great secretary, but just the kind of sec retary Warren Harding needed and wanted outside his door I'd known him all my life; knew him as wei as he knew himself. The last thing he would have desired would have been great secretary, sitting there st- tempting 10 interpret what he meant or forecasting his actions for him. He wanted somebody to look after things-the mail, the appointments, some of the details of his politics. ] have the satisfaction of knowing ] served him as he would be served regardless of what others may have thought"
 And that was exactly what George Christian did. To the last, the af- lection and condolences of Warren Harding in him was evidenced in every way, not merely as his chief but as his friend.

 GRY UT GERMANS
Americans Stranded As They Find Themselves Unable
 To Raise Cash To Leave

BERLIN, August 18.-(By Associ' ated Press.)-'Yes. we have no po- tatoes today" is the universal com pIaint in Germany, which played 9 large part in the downfall of the Cuno government and indicates tho most important task which Chancei- Ior Stresemann faces in taking over control in the present food and H. nancial crisis.
 Frederick the Great fought food war which was called the potato war" He and his brother, Prince Henry. led the Prussian troops in 1778-79 against the Austrians in order to obtain food supplies. The food shortage also was one of the chief causes for the collapse of the eA1 Q pire which forced the former 6se- peror William to become an exile in Doorn.
 So German history is merely re- beating itself and the republics in ability to feed itself is emphasized in the depreciation of the currency, which makes purchases outside the county impossible. The lack of grain has forced Germany to forego largo quantities of the bread which plays so great a part in the diet of the French and other extensive wheat growing neighbors with the result that the potato is of more impor- tauce to Germany than it Is in Ire- land.

ASKS PROTECTION FOR U. s. HOLDERS OF GERMAN MARKS
Claim Berlin Is Responsible For Losses Of American
 Citizens

WASHINGTON August 1s.-Amer- iean pressure upon Germany to se- cure reimbursement to American citi- zens for losses incurred through the collapse of the German mark was urged Saturday by the Association of American Holders of Foreign Se- Curities.
 Counsel for Emil Hygon, East Providence, R. l., petltioned the State Department to endeavor diplo- matically to persuade Germany 10 make good losses to American buyers of German securities.
 The case of the petitioners was based on the theory that the depre- citation of th@ mark had made Ger man securities practically worthless and that this depr eciation had caused a loss to American holders of these securities, in violation of the peace treaties and of international law.
 The brief, submitted by Lewis A. NIcGcwan, counsel for Hygon, cited numerous precedents for holding the German government responsible for loss to foreign citizens caused by de- preciation of German currency. The claimants statement set forth that he had bought German municipal bonds in 1920 and tnar both the in- terest and the value of the bonds had depreciated rapidly on account of the fall of the mark It was urged that the State Department in accord with precedents, make representations 10 Germany to protect the claimant from his unwarranted loss.
 McGowan recalled that the same situation had arisen shortly after the American Revolution, when French investors in American securities had been threatened with a similar loss. In that case, McGowan pointed out, the government of the infant repub- lie recognized the unfairness of the situation.

The demand was fair and prices held steady with mills still busy on old orders, but new buying was not aggressive and the market appeared to be awaiting developments. Pig iron was very quiet, with prices about steady and unchanged.
 n copper further declines oe- cured, owing to poor demand ana fl eer offerings by both second hands and producers. Around the l4-cent level, however. better inquiry was reported, resulting in sales of few millien pounds for domestic con sumption. ,.,
 Tin was steady, due to the with 6rawal of dealers offerings and au- Xaneed to the import cost spot straits were scarce.
 Lead quiet but steady. The out, look for fall business was reported saUsfactory. Producers have little to snare for August shipment and local stocks are light. Zinc was more ae- tlve and firmer, owing to Tears oI labor troubles in the smelters.
 Anthony reflected more liberal or ferings and slow demand, and ruled a shade lower.
