CHECKING UP ON
 FORGED ISSUES
New York Bankers and Brokers Looking Over Securities

New York, Sept. 26. - A careful scrutiny of securities was made by banks and brokers today following the disclosure yesterday that bogus bonds issued in the name of com- pany which does not exist had been put up as collateral for loans.
 The amount of the bonds possibly may total $500,000, according to au- thorities Investigating the fraud This sum was based upon knowledge that the bonds, printed upon a stock form which may be purchased by |lithographers without restriction, may all have been of the $1,000 de- nomination with 500 of them issued. Those brought to light have been for that amount and the lithographer from whom they were purchased said sales of the forms were between 250 and 800.
 One broker reported loss of s5,000 from purchase of five of the pieces of paper at face value, while another had accepted four of them as security for loan of s3,500.
 The bonds bore the name, of the 'Steel and Tube Company of (North) America" being similar in appear ance to those of the "Steel and Tube Company of America" which was merged with the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company 14 months ago. Three persons were questioned in connection with the fraud. all of them members of Le Bon Ray Cor 1 poration, which was restrained by a supreme court injunction last July from marketing its own securities. Alden Miller, one of those ques- tioned, sold the five bonds bought by a brokerage house. He said they had been taken from two men as security for a note.

 Are Found in Dead Sea

Jerusalem, Sept. 2e.-Recent in- vestigations indicate that the Dead Sea may become the greatest finan- cial asset of the government of Pal estine.

Including transportation charges and governmental tax the product can be delivered at the port of Haifa at a cost of s15 a ton. 1t is estimated, against the price of sso now obtain ing for potash in Europe.

 Reassure Foreigners
 By The Associated Press.
 Picking, Sept. 26.--General Wu Pei-Fu, military chief of the Picking government, today issued a procla- nation declaring that the fullest protection would be afforded the lives and property of foreigners.
 The foreign legations at Picking yesterday sent memoranda to the Chinese foreign office and to Gen. eral Chang-Tso-Lin, war lord of Manchurla, declaring that should foreign lives be lost or should the property of foreigners be destroyed, the Chinese authorities responsible would be held to account.

GERMANY Still
CONSIDERED
MENACE
Military Expert Says CONT
nent Cannot Disarm Till For
n1er Foe Enters League
BY DAVID nj, CHURCH.
internatIonaI NetRa Service.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-The time is
not yet ripe for the nations Of
Europe to disarIn, and the greatest
factor towards European peace at
the present time would be an
Anglo. French Belgian accord.
This is the view expressed by
Lieutenant, Colonel Reppington, the
distinguished war correspondent
and military expert.
Lieutenant Colonel Reppington
has recently made a tour OF Eu-
rope and has written a detailed
Daily Telegraph.
Germany, with her Reichswehr
and Security police-very carefully
selected, as General Won Sseckt
once informed me In Berlin
possesses the cadres Of q national
army" says Reppington, land the
combative spirit of her people gives
no encouragement for her neigh
bors to disarm.
at is fact that German dis
armament, to a large extent, was
obtained at the close OF the war
after the Germen defeat, but the
rearmament OF great nation, UNI
less its territory is occupied, can.
not be prevented. We are trying
now. by final survey Of German
arnanents, to find reasons for
handing over the military control
Of Germany to the League OF Ma
lions. The League will have to In
crease its staff for the superin-
tendence OF this matter, and Il i
does not 1t will not be successful.
and 1t will not be trusted.
German Opposition. .
1.-THE German nationalists, u
words mean anything. are against
the policy OF fulfilment Of their
treaty engagements. They confess
themselves to be out to wreck the
Treaty Of Versailles. A govern.
ment Of a different complexion may
not follow this hostile policy. but In
any case until Germany enters the
League and signs the Protocol It
will be difficult for France or Bel
GUM to ratify the latter. 1t is an
advantage to Germany, from the
point Of view OF prestige and posi-
ton in the world, to enter the
League. 1t is also an advantage to
the cause of peace. We should
know how this matter stands BY
the end Of the year.
Meantime 1t is too much to ask
the nations who have suffered most
from Germany to disarm.
Reppington declares that there
can be no confidence In the League
