STERLING TOUCHES
 PARITY OF S4.S665
Climbs to Highest Altitude Since
 June 20, 1926

New York, Sept. g P-S Sterling exchange touched parity of S4,S6G5 in the New York foreign exchange market today for the first time since June 30, 1926. Sterling cables changed hands as high as S4,SG 21-32.
 Sterling exchange has been rising slowly, but steadily, since the spring Of the year, having reached it's 1927 low level in February. The recovery has been aided by the decline in money rates in the United States, which has led to the transfer of huge amounts or capital 10 London. where higher interest rates arc avail able.
 This transfer Of funds. which has been accomplished by the purchase of Sterling and the sale Of dollars, has materially assisted foreign buy CTS in making their autumn pur- chascs of grain. cotton and other American farm products. Ordinarily. such purchases have been financed abroad, but this year British impor- ters have found it profitable 10 make their arrangement in this country which has relieved the pressure for funds on foreign banks, and exertcd a favorable influence on the inter- national financial situation.

Fight Fans Puzzled
 About Dempsev's Future

1 Chicago, Sept 23 NUP)-Two qucs- tions stood out today as fight fans mullcd over the remains of the Dempsey-Tunney worlds champion ship fight.
 1-Will Leo P. Flynn, Dempsey's s manager. go through with his threat 10 ask the Illinois boxing commission 10 reverse the decision awarded to Gene Tnnncy?
 @-Will Dempsey retire from the ring?
 Flynn said immediately after the fight last night that he would appeal for a reversal on the ground that Tunney was down for more than ten seconds in the seventh round all though the referee had only counted nine when he arose. However. there was little question but that the de- cision was proper under Illinois box ing rules. Furthermore, a reversal of decision in such q case would be unprecedented
 Many of Dempseys closest friends believe the former champion would retire, but no definite word came from Jack.

Berlin is Ngha~t

Hrrlin. Sept 22. ---- tP - CIi"ial Berlin and its American colony were aghast today when they received the news Of the tragic death of Ambas- sador Ago Non Maltzan. Germany 1 loses in him one Of her ablest diplo- mats whose popularity is probably not exceeded by any one in the for ciGn service.
 When the American club enter taucd Baron Won Maltzan q week ago. he was fondly dubbed the clubs uncle from America" which designation he accepted with thc reservation that he felt himself far too young to bc an uncle as the greater part of his lifc's work still was ahead of him.
 Tho ambassador was known not only a hard worker who never spar cd himself when his country's inter ests demanded his time, but was also known as good fellow who was at home cveryW here in all walks of life and was much sought after socially by Borlin's diplomatic colony.
 The popularity of the baron with the American colony was based chiefly on inc fact that he caught the American spirit perhaps better than any other diplomat sent 10 America by Germany. Whilc diplo- mats of the older sChoa had little interest in activities outside of the diplomatic or industrial world. Won NaltZan say that G1rmany'S way to nopularty throughout the world was tied Up with the achievements of her people in sports aeronantiCs, art and music. HIo therefore did everything possible to bring leaders in these lines Of human ondcavor to Amer ica
 A year ago when he expressed the opinion that the swimming achieve mcnts of Eric Eadomacher wcrc better than the services of q dozen diplomats there was some cOnstcr- nation in WiIhclmstrassc but events showed that he was right.
 President Won TIiudcnburg was the first 10 send condolences 10 Baroness Non Maltzan. He said "thc terrible disaster which has befallcn you so suddenly CriCvcS me deeply I beg you 10 accept this expression of my deepest sympathy. Germany loses in your husband, who lost his life so tragically. ono of her ablest diplomats and most distinguished representatives whose memory l shall always honor
