YORK, Nov. 5.— Between $500,000,000 and $750,000,000 has been lost by. American investors through the collapse of the German mark, the New York ‘Tribune stated today. English in- vestors lost about $500,000,000 and other countries a like amount, the newspaper continued, declaring that Germany not only had repudiated its national debt, but had been the gainer to the extent of about $2,- 000,000,000. The loss includes the funds of thousands of small investors, it was said, many of them German Amer- icans who bought marks at 2 cents each, or more, in the belief that they would recover. It also in- cludes money invested in German bonds payable in paper money. Francis H. Sisson, vice president of the Guaranty Trust company, expressed doubt as to whether Ger- many would be able to establish a stable currency before a basis for a settlement of the reparations ques- tion was decided ppon, the Tribune stated, quoting: him as’ follows: “I do not believe the decline of the mark to its present state of worthlessness was due to a deliber- ate plot on the part of Germany to evade responsibility for its paper money. ‘The decline of the mark began after the war was declared, and it has declined ever since as a result of Germany's economic sit- uation. “It would be impossible to tell how much American money was put into German marks. It would be as easy to estimate how many grass- hoppers there are in a fiel whi It is my opinion that an agreement must be reached on the reparations question before any stable monetary system can be tablished in Germany. “I know of no parallel ut of nation’s currency : thi The nearest ap- proach to it . the collapse of the Russian money, and of confederate money during the civil war.” to the arry Sinclair Denies Quarrel With Democrats HICAGO millions ontrover Nov of Democratic in W .irman who Mr. utions fund in testifying in of the Teapot publican and Demo- mony is in Washington can be referred to,” Mr. Sin- ir said. “I have no controversy h Mr. Hull.” nced that “the doctrine of e.” his theme with the worda, Fair to- Some- what warmer tonight and in ad said that he cbn-/} to the campaign funds of | with the Ford and Lincoln, will o¢-| the close of the polls tomorrow aft-| party ticket, today, issued a letter to| DOCTRINE OF LOVE’ IS POSSIBLE IN BUSINESS ROCKEFELLER DECLARES Only Where Service to Others Comes First Can Business Be Success” Is Theme of His Address NEW YORK, Nov. 5.—John D.

Chase, Cantain | “extravagant” expendftures. [eprrorrar} If the voters of Casper consult the welfare of the people they will do éne thing at tomorrow’s election—they will anake Harry B. Durham mayor. It is not alone our own opinion, it is the opinion of a vast number of the largest property owners and heaviest tax- payers. Whatever action this class of our citizens take in matters of this sort is a safe guide for anyone else to follow and more especially those who have no vi interest or don’t particularly care who the mayor is. The taxpayers and property owners desire the best gov- ernment théy can secure, the most competent officers; for in good and efficient officers lies the safety of the property of the people, its freedom from waste by the extravagance of incompetent and ignorant men who should not be in public office. It is a great mistake on the part of voters not to know thoroughly the men who become candidates for public office, so that an intelligent and safe choice can be made on their own account. If for any reason this connot be possible, there is the next best thing that can be done—follow the lead of the large property owner and the heavy taxpayer. This class of Casper’s population has very generally en- dorsed Mr. Harry B. Durham and will vote for him. They con- sider him the best qualified and most competent candidate in the list for the office of mayor. They are perfectly willing that Mr. Durham should menage their public affairs, levy taxes upon them and expend the tax money in their interest. That is considerable confidence to place in any man. But these property owners ‘and tax payers, rest assured, know Mr. Durham and know that their confidence is not mis- placed and neither will it be betrayed. If Mr. Durham was unworthy of the trust of the men and women of the city who own the bulk of the taxable property, they: would know it. The fact that they are supporting him and want him to be the mayor is the evidence. On the other hand, Mr. Durham carries an appeal to another very important element of Casper’s population—the working man. He has himself come from those very ranks. Has known what toil means from early boyhood, has felt the callouses from ¢he pick handle and the shovel handle and rather gloried in them. His sympathies and his support is with men who work and women who toil. He has often de- clared his private policy toward labor to be an honest da pay for an honest day's work, and he has proclaimed his pub- lie policy to be—and has pledged his earnest efforts to secure the result—a wider margain between the cost of living and the day's pay. Not only does Mr. Durham answer best, the hopes and _re- quirements of these two classes of the city’s population, he fulfills the hopes of every other class, for he is just, consider- ate and fair to all. By reason of his ability and experience he is head and shoulders above all of his rivals in the mayoralty Tace, and in Mr. Durham the voters of Casper have hope of a new era in city affairs—an efficient, economical and able local gov- ernment. The matter is now wholly up to the men and women who cast the votes on the morrow. The Tribune has done its best to guide and inform you. It has done this honestly and con- scienciously and with full respect to opposition candidates If any shadow of criticism has crept into The Tribune, it is only apparent and made so to appear by the outstanding and superior qualifications of Mr. Durham. The case is now in the hands of the voters.
