GERMAN MONEY
Is PROFITABLE
Happens To Be Some Of.
Counterfeit Variety Now
Being Issued

BERLIN, March 22.-(By Asso-
ciated Press. NEARLY 200 persons
were arrested during January in Berlin
alone for counterfeiting or passing bad
money. Similar reports are made from
other parts of the. republic, especially
from the occupied area. With the fixed
value of the rentenmark, issuing bad
money has become profitable, as the
output of the counterfeiter's press does
not drop in value.
Prussian state dollars and other
money of the Prussian government have
been counterfeited so widely that many
shops refuse to take any of the money
of the state. There has also been a
general manipulation of paper money
through alteration of the lettering
Notes of one million marks are fire.
quently changed into higher denOmina-
ton by making the million read billion.
There has been such viriety of
paper money in circulation, all the fed
Grated states and most of the leading
cities as well as the railway admins
tration and many firms having issued
their own money, that the public is be-
muddled and cannot tell good money
from bad.
Travellers in Germany have much diff
ficulty because of the various cur
rencies, as Hamburg money is not good
in Berlin and Prussian money is not
good in Bavaria or Saxony; and so on,
with the money of all the states and
capitals. The situation is further in
volved in the occupied. aareas by the
money of the railway direction. In the
Palatinate, where the French are con-
trolling the railways, the regie money,
or railway direction money, is not good
the moment a train passes out of the
occupied area into France proper. In
other words reggie money, which a
traveller takes at Speyer, is useless
when the traveller reaches, Strassburg.

suggestion to amend the answer adds
to our reply to the inquiries that the
applicants for these benefits must be

q. How many veterans of the Span

War veterans are receiving pensions
for military service rendered during

n. l am unable to answer your first
question as accurate figures have not
been compiled. About $4,000 veterans
OF the Spanish American War are now
receiving pensions for or on account
of military service in that war.

He Is now in an asylum. Before he

pense in the way of doctor bills and
hospital fees. In the application for
this mans bonus can | legally name
myself as the beneficiary ?-B. F.
A. You can file an application for
your wards bonus and name yourself
as his beneficiary, but il is not very
likely that the War Department will
rule that the application is a valid one
If the War Department rules that the
application is not valid the Veterans
Bureau will never officially see it, and
therefore no adjusted service certificate
will be issued TO your ward. 1t would
seem more equitable if you named the
estate of the veteran as beneficiary.
Then. when the veteran died, some
competent court would administer his
estate and the proceeds of his policy
would be paid according to state in
herltance laws. Or you might name
one of the veterans dependents in the
order of preference as provided for
in the adjusted compensation act. In
