265,ooo0oo Reichmarks, Of which s.
196,000,000 Reichmarks were due to
American creditors. The short-term
debt, at the same time, totaled 8.702.-
100000 Reichmarks, of which 2,537.-
600, 1000 was due to American creditors.
On September 30, 1888, through
through American depreciation. the
amount due to American holders OF
long and medium term securities had
been reduced to 5000, 100000 and
short-term paper to 1,700, ,000, 900
Reichmarks Since then a further re-
duction Of some zoe, 600, 900 Reichmarks
has been made.
OF the reduction during the year, ac-
cording to the bank. l80, 0,000. 900 Reich
marks was by amortization payments
by Germany and 200,000.000 Reich
marks by purchases of German securi-
ties in the United States and their
subsequent requirement here with
large profit.
The latter is one of the practices OBJ
jected to by the American State De-
partment in its recent protest through
American Ambassador William e. Dodd
The great bulk in the reduction of the
German debt to American creditors
from 1913 100000 Reichmarks to ap-
proximately 4,500,0000 900 Reichmarks
has been done by the United States by
depreciating the American dollar. So
far no reply has been made by Ger
many to the American protest.

calls being only about per cent under
those for the corresponding period In
1882.

RETAILERS GATHER
FOR CONVENTION
5000 Merchants and Store
Executives to Discuss
Recovery Role.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

special DlSpatcn 10 Inc StdI.
NEW YORK, January 15.-Five thou
sand retail store merchants and execu-
ives are here today from every sec
ton of this country and Canada to at
tend the National Retail Dry Goods
Associations twenty-third annual con-
vention, which will be addressed by more
than $50 speakers.
/, These store presidents. vice presi-
dents, sales promotion managers, per-
sonnel directors. controllers, store
managers, traffic and delivery execu-
tives, merchandise managers and buy
ers-the largest gathering OF retailers
ever assembled in one place in the his
tory of the country-will discuss prob
lens vital to the everyday life of the
127,560, 900 citizens of the United States.
Hope to Spur Sales.
Handling a volume of, retail business
approximating s3,O00.000 900 annually.
and employing more than 100000
workers directly, these retailers will buy
millions of dollars of Spring merchan-
disc within the next two weeks, and
they plan to stimulate sales as their
part Of the economic recovery in 1884.
Their sales In 1888 were of only 3l2
per cent from the 1882 volume.
THE retailer plays his part in ma
tional recovery" is the general theme
Of this weeks meeting. 1t Is likely to
bring out how these business men were
able to maintain sales, despite all the
upsets of last year.
Compared with their views year
ago, the dozen or SO delegates inter-
viewed today were very optimistic
about retail store business over the
Easter trade easily will be the best
since 1929. They look for brisk buying
to continue well beyond that date
and to include items more or less
neglected the last several years. They
will buy more advertising space in
newspapers this year, believing that
the daily press was a powerful busi-
ness stimulant even during trying
periods of 1888.
Recognize Difficulties.
Retailers, both large and small, rec
ogniZe that many problems stand in
the way Of recovery however. They
will discuss many recovery questions,
such as operating under the codes,
price tendencies, how to speed sales
and similar subjects. Charles E.
Sweitzer, managing director of the as
sociation, directs attention to the fact
that the speakers include nationally
prominent personalities, many of them
directly identified with the recovery
movement Among them will be Gen.
Hugh S. johnson. national recovery
administrator: Mrs. Mary Hartman
Rumsey, chairman. Consumers Ad-
visory Board; John Dickinson, Assistant
Secretary of Commerce: Mayor Fiorello
H. La Guardia, Edward F. McGrady,
Assistant Secretary of Labor, and Lew
Hahn, president of the Retail Dry
Goods Association and chairman Of the
national retail code authority.

REICH DEBTS CUT
BY DOLLARS DROP
Reduction Of About 3 Billion
Reichsmarks Estimated
by Berlin Officials.
BY JUNIUS B. WOOD,

BY Radio to The Star.
BERLIN, Germany, January Is
Depreciation of the American dollar
last year reduced Germany's debts to
American creditors by nearly 5000, ,000,-
900 Reichsmarks, according to figures
privately given to this correspondent by
the Reichsbank. Even such general
summary has not been given before.
The figures assume importance in
view of the coming conference with
long and medium term creditors on
January % and the Reichsbank's fear
that it may be forced to stop all in
terest payments. Following the pre-
vious conference last month, President
Hjalmar Schacht of the bank an
nounced that the creditors might ex-
pect 65 per cent Of their interest dur
ing the present six months.
According to the banks statement,
Germany's long and medium term debt
at the beginning of 1888 totaled TO-

YES, the proletariat of Red We'd

police were at the first moment so
surprised over the large number of
workers who were marching, that
they let them march, but they pro-
hibited the singing of revolutionary
songs, Since we were not allowed
to sing. everybody began to whistle
the International. This too was
prohibited. So we began to hum
another tune. The police officer
became so enraged over our discip-
line, that he shouted at our COM
rades marching in front that he
would have them put up against q
wall and shot down if they would
not dispense at once. But nobody
answered. We kept on marching.
No provocation gave these waiting
beasts any opportunity TO disperse

shouted: 1.-THE police are shooting.

In the first line we had four girls.
We marched into the small side
street about twenty yards. Suddenly
row of cops pierced in front of
us and took aim at us with rifles.
Somebody shouted: over the Top"
We began to run directly at the
police line and broke through it..
The police first shot at the ground.
When they saw these girls were not
afraid of these murderers, they shot
right at us. Next to me young
girl of about 81 years of age sud-
denly cried out. but she did not
stop. Less than a hundred yards
afterwards she stopped and told me
that she was shot through the lung.
We brought her to a doctor who
was a sympathizer. She was saved
because the bullet Gid not go
through her lungs.
We returned to the street. We
heard the rat-tat-tat of the machine

Men, women, youngsters and girls
had built barricsdes in Koesline
StraSse. The oobble stones had been
broken up and tables and chairs,
mattresses, bags of coal, small push
carts on which vegetables and cigar
cites were usually sold, had been
used for the bsrrieades. A whole
day and night the workers of Koes-
line Strasse defended themselves. A
fire brigade had put water into the
apartments, and at the same time
heavy machine guns were constantly
shooting at the houses. But Koes-
line Strasse could not be taken,

But a storm Of indignation swept
through Berlin. The battle con-
tinued for day and a half. In the
meantime the Social Democratic
union leaders had made it known
that they we're strong enough to
prevent mass strikes or could
smother them, and this was the
reason why Koesline street was f.
nally conquered.
We shall never forget this May
First. Thirty-three workers were
murdered by the ial-Democrat
zorgiebel. But this Koesline Strasse,
in the Red Wedding of Berlin, con-
tinues to struggle courageously and
undauntingly under the masters Of
Hitler OF this I want to give one
example. When Minister of Propa-
ganda, Goebbels, manufactured his
Horst Vessel film, it was taken in
Koesline Street, in which the popu-
