FINANCIAL CHAOS
|GR0WS IN GERMANY
Dividends Are Vanishing and
Production Falling Off.
Food Big Problem.

BY Gable TO The Star AMI Chicago Daily News
brought financial chos to Germany.
Wages and prices have increased
faster than the national economy
could adjust itself. There is a scarcity
OF, currency, capital, goods and stamps.
Although the larger mark notes are
circulated daily, there is not enough
money to meet the enormously in
creased prices. At the same time the
gold value of currency steadily de-
creases. but the German prices, par
ticularly those of food. keep ahead of
the world market in Hamburg and
Berlin.
There is a lack of postage stamps.
Food prices are 100000 times as
great as those in 1913. Nearly all
German cities are without funds. The
reich Will perhaps be compelled to
finance the purchase of food in many
localities.
Another cause of the currency
shortage is the seizures by the French
in the Ruhr and the Rhineland. Last
week 200. .000.000,000 marks were
taken mostly in Essen and Duessel-
dorf. ii was stated.
The Ruhr is the large financial bur
den of the reich. Expelled railroad
ers numbering $4,000, with their
families-50,000 in all-must be sup
ported. There are other expenditures
of passive resistance which popular
subscription fails to meet.
Currency chaos has brought Sc
we're loss to German industry. Divi-
dends are vanishing. Workers are
being discharged. Production is de-
creasing. Foreigners = particularly
buyers-are leaving.

MOTOR PRICE WAR
IDEA IS DOUBTED
Big Firms Unlikely to Reduce
Charges at Present, Belief
in New York.

NEW YORK. August 28.-With the
unhealthy result of the gasoline
price war in the, middle west still
fresh in their minds. 1t seems incredi-
Bile that any group of manufacturers
like the automobile makers would en-
gage in a, disastrous series of price
cuts. And yet the story persists that
motor trade war impends. Leading
companies believe that the story is
entirely without foundation. In the
first place. says the New York Herald
today. costs have increased slightly
as compared with the earlier months
of the year. and the margin of profit
consequently has narrowed. AS a mat
ter of fact, some manufacturers de-
clare they are thinking seriously of
advancing their list prices. The basis
70 the story seems to be the display
in Canada of a new General Motors
product at a price considerably below
expectations. This very likely is a
feat of designing and construction ac-
complshed through lower costs rath-
er than any disposition to precipi-
ate trade war.
