SYMPATHY ONLY IN
 MILES DILEMMA
United States Can Only Brown On HohenzolIernS' Attempt
 To Come Back

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-Presldent Coolidge believes that the American people will sympathize with any move to be taken by the allied gov- ernments to prevent restoration of the Hohenzollerns to power in Ger many, although the American govern nlent cannot, in accordance with long established policy, take definite ac- ton in the matter which has been brought up by the return to Germany of the Crown Prince Frederick Will liam.
 The Presidents views were made known today in some detail in order to correct an impression gained in some quarters from recent White House statement to the effect that the United States would afford no Nhich they might undertake to pre- vent the return of the Hohenzollern family to power.
 The long expressed policy of the American government is interpreted by Mr. Coolidge as favoring in every way the establishment and main tenance of republican forms of gov ernment, MT. Coolidge, however, does not interpret this as meaning that the United States always can or should interfere in governmental changes In other countries.
 With respect to the return of the German crown prince to Germany an dreports of prospective return of the former emperor, it was said that MT. Coolidge considers that one of the things for which the United States went to war was to drive the IIohenzollerns from the throne and prevent such autocratic rule as has been established in Germany.
 Guarantees to make this sure were placed in the treaty of Versailles and the expectation here is that the na tion's party to the treaty will en- deavor to enforce provisions contain ing such guarantees. Tn the work Of enforcement, the President believes the allied governments should have tue sympathy of the American peo-

ROLLING IN WEALTH
 OF ANOTHER COUNTRY

Two well known Seward business men are literally rolling in wealth; at least it looks like wealth.
 A short time ago H. E. Wilson of the Bank of Seward, and Elwyn SWet- mann Of the Seward Drug Company, finding themselves overburdened WMh wealth of the realm decided to invest their surplus in marketable com modity, deciding upon the German mark for the venture. Accordingly they sent to the Deutsche Bank oi Berlin, Germany, the stupendous sum of two whole American dollars. In due course of time this is what they I.- ceived.
 Thirty thousand paper marks; on which postage charges and Guls, amounting to 7,430 marks, was paid by the German government. The pucA age of wealth was consigned to Sew ard in care of the Bank or Seward, leaving Berlin on April 25, 1923, ar irving in New York on May 4th anu arrived in Seward, May 16.
 The marks vary in denomination from one mark to a few of five thou sand marks valuation, consisting o. Is, 2s, 5s, los, POS, sos, 10Os, 5VU5 1OO0s, and 5000s marks
 In estimating the value it was as- certained that Mr. Wilson and MT. Swetmann received 1S7 marks for .01 cent. The present value of each mark is .0OO4 and the par value, before the decline, was .2382. Figuring on the par value the marks cost S1769.8- postage to Seward and the value oI the marks received would amount to $7146.00, a small fortune in itself. Each, therefore, in investing a dollar stand to realize heavily on the in vestment-at some future date.
 MT. Swetmann has on display in one of the windows of the drug store enough money to start bank above the Arctic circle, and those who wish may see what nothing just about looks like.
