Clapler, who calls his organization the International Creditors' Association of German Pre-War Currency, said the organization planned to retain an inter- national lawyer. The pre-war German mark, he said, has been stabilized at one gold mark (24 D. CO. cents) pet trillion paper marks, but he declared this to be little short of inter- national highway robbery. "We don’t expect dolln for dollar,” he ::‘m “but we do want a fair pere cent je.” Other foreign exchange dealers, how- ever, expressed doubt that the marks ver would be redeemed. One dealer as- serted there isn’t enough gold in the world to redeem them at par. Clapler sald 9,000,000 residents of Germany had banded together to de- mand at least a part of what their hoarded paper once was worlh. SKULL FRACTURE FATAL.
