HOLLANDBANKING ‘ CIRCLES ARl]USEl]I Keenly Interested in.U. S. Re- quest for Local Data on Foreign Loans. ‘BY LEOPOLD ALETRINO. Ty Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News, Copyright, 1922 AMSTERDAM. March 9.—Banking circles expressed keen interest today in a circular from the Washington State Department to American bankers asking them henceforth to inform the government as to the details of the loans they intended to contract for with foreign govern- ments or municipalities. so as to cnable the federal authorities to ap- prove or disapprove of the proposed ! contract. The question is asked if this measure was taken in conse- guence of the recent Dutch issue of a $75,000,000 loan in the United States. Loan Discussed by Banker. Speaking of this loan, a leadir | banker toid the correspondent tha its success proved that the American public had formed a_hizh estimate of the credit of the Netherlands. He did not agree with the assertion of some of the newspapers that borrow- ; ing in the United es did not| exactly indicate financial strength on| Holland's part. Heo sal “If we tie up our money in a state loan we cannot use it for other than! state purposcs, and it is highly desir- able that wo keep large sums avail- able for the economic reconstruction of our country. The issue of the Dutch loan in the United S Tesult in a general rev Dutch stock market. because it will give us back our self-confidence. Sees Far-Reaching Effects. oreover. better feeling in the investment market will also influence the other finafcial markets.” i He added that the participation of } the United States in the Dutch loan! would lower the exchange, and thus facilitate the cheipening of tne fooustuffs Holland inust import from the outside. —_— GIRL, HYPNOTIZED, WEDS.' Court Annuls Marriage, as There Was “No Real Affection.” MANILA, P. L. January 18 (by mail).—The court of first instance has annulled a marriage contract which was entered into while the girl was under the speil of hypno- tism. Dominga Olivares, the victim, was hypnotized by Blas Angeles at her home. She was taken to the resi- dence of 2 minister and made to sign 2 marriage contract, all being done while she was under the spell The court says that “although the signature of Dominga Olivares ap- pears in the marriage contract, it cannot be sustained that there has been any solemnization of the mar- riage as long as there was not any real affection for the defendant, Blas Angeles, whom she had known only for three days while he was giving an exhibition of sleight-of-hand tricks at her home.” BY LEOPOLD ALETRINO. By Cable_to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1922 AMSTERDAM, March 9.—The book written by ex-Crown Prince Frede- rick Willam of Germany will bs published in April. 'This correspond- ent has just had an opportunity to glance over the proofsheets. The prince represents himself as being intellectual, susceptible and impressionable, and not_at all the militarist autocrat he has always been painted. He writes with cxtreme frankness about persons and conditions at the <ime of the war and particularly for- GERMAN PRICES SOAR. Increase of 23.6 Per Cent in Feb- ruary Reported. An increase of 23.6 per cent in the gentral level of wholesale prices in Germany during the month of Febru- ary was announced today by the fed- eral reserve board in a report re- celved from the American commls-- sioner in_ Germany. This increase, the report, which was taken from the Frankfurter Zeitung, goes on to relate, is more than twice the in- crease for January, which was 10 per cent. mmbos gt It is a custom in Tripoli that a bride be attended by forty or ffty bridesmaids, all powdered to ghastly whiteness and with vivid crimson triangles painted on either cheeks. THE LVE NG : STAR, GERMAN EX-CROWN PRIN CE, IN BOOK ON WAR, RAPS FORMER CHANCELLOR l mer Chancellor Theobald von Beth- mann-Hollweg. The prince assails the chancellor's weak policy and up- braids him with having prolonged the war by his lack of decision. The author says he pressed for peace jmmediately after the second . battle of the Marne, but his father and Gen. Ludendorff placed all their hopes on the unlimited submarine warfare. In those days, says the prince, von Bethmann-Hollweg cut a poor flgure, while the kaiser was taken in tow by the commander-in-chief. The crown prince’s warning that the army was exhausted and no longer equal to its task was unheeded. The book con- tains no sensational disclosures. RECEIVES FAREWELL GIFT.
