EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
GERMAN BONDS.
Eighty-second Article.

So many people have written to
me about the German internal bonds
in which there has been of late such
wild speculation that few more words
about the status Of these securities,
if they are entitled to that term, may
not come amiss. What l say refers
entirely to the bonds. national and
municipal, payable in marks, and is
not intended in any way to refer
to the expected International loan,
the American portion of which will
be payable in dollars.
Enormous Losses Sustained.
Speculation in these German mark
bonds Is apparently based on the
idea that the German government
will make some adjustment with the
holders because of the fact that SIM
liar action has been taken with re-
gard to certain German industrial
loans. There is no doubt that enor-
nous losses have been sustained by
the German creditor class through
the depreciation of the mark, They
loaned their money in good faith
before the World War on the promise
that principal would be repaid at a
certain time and that meanwhile in
terest would be forthcoming at a
certain rate. All these loans were
expressed in terms of marks when
the mark had stable gold value, a
little less than "a cents. AS 1t stands
today, one trillion of paper marks
are tne equivalent of one gold mark
before the war.
The injustice Of forcing lenders to
assume all this loss is self-eyident
ana In certain cases the government
mas recognized this Injustice and
oroered compensation in part to be
made. The order under which this
arrangement was made, however, ex-
pressly excludes German national and
municipal loans so long as the Ger
man republic has reparations debts
10 pay. AS far as we can see now
II Will be at least a generation and
may be much longer before these
reparations are paid up and the Ger.
man government Is ready to consider
paying something on its own internal
loans.
Even then the chances are that the
inclination will be to make a dis
tinct1on between the original holders
OF the bonds and those who have
purchased them as specuiations.
There Is one more point to consider.
If the improbable should come to pass
and a payment be made on these
obligations within any reasonable
time the American speculator would
face the difficulty of getting his
money out of Germany. Under the
Dawes plan, allied agents will have
entire control of German exchange
and the best opinion is that repara-
tions requirements will absorb all the
foreign exchange available. The
chances that sale Of marks will be
allowed to reimburse foreign specula-
tors in German securities are very slim.
Having carefully weighed all these
objections IL any of my readers de-
sire to go ahead and buy these Ger
man mark bonds they are, of course,
free to do so but 1t will not be an in
vestment in any sense. To call 1t
speculation Is complimentary.

Hallowell people will be interested to
know that a chlornator of the best

cautionary measure to make sure that
their water supply was in the best of
condition. This action was advised by
the State Board of Health. but not re-
CURED by them. The installation of
