Gontinued Depreciation of Ger- man Money Said to Be Cause Berlin, Oct. 10.—Some Americans in business in Germany say that the continued depreciation of German and Austrian money threatens to force American branch manufacturing plants and distributing houses in the two countries to close or operate at a heavy loss in the hope that con- di‘ions shortly will improve. A number of smaller German busi- nesses, principally dependant on im- portations of raw materials, also are facing a crisis and to avoid bank- ruptey, which they see five or six months distant when the exhaustion of reserve funds and stocks has been completed, are seeking to consoldate with larger, more firmly established institutions. The American manufacturing con- ‘cerns, dependent on German raw ma- terials, are faced with the peculiar si*tuation of having huge outstanding orders in adjacent coutries which they are unable to fill 'because the Ger- mians insist on delivering raw mater- ial at current prices, more than double in marks the prices at which the ma- terial was contracted for, and which would make impossible the filling of outstanding orders at a profit. Insistence by the foreign concerns on_delivery at contracted prices has been without avail, protestations eith- er being ignored or the foreigners be- ing frankly told that such procedure would almost immediately bankrupt the German firms, in view of the re- cent depreciation of the mark. American distributing houses also are embarrassed by the fact they have lasge contracts to fill at prices based on previous values of the falling mark, “To make the situation worse, cer- tain German interests have started a cut-throat competition to secure and hold the export trade in manufactur- vd articlgs, which has enormously in- creased within the last few mom.h: hid JAMES N.

Not content with the honey and wax which the bees yield, the Cingalese eat the insects. Hartford, Conn. the representative of an American branch manufacturing -plant said. “This competition fails to take into consideration the fundamental propo- sitlon that funds must be set aside ior depreciation but is based almost solely on the desire for immediate profits. The unavoidable consequence will be that within six month8 or so ivese firms will face the necessity of repairs or improvements, Wwithout money to pay, unless the capital stock is drawn upon. Such a con- dition cannot long continue, unless there is a substantial improvemet in German money.” CITY ITEMS Dancing at Danceland Sat. Night— advt. Victrolas and Pianos. Henry Morans. —advt.

ROAD T0 VOLCANO Plans For Construction Highway Lead- ing to Mauna Loa on Island of Hawail. Hilo, Island of Hawaii, T. H., Oct. 28.—A road from Kilauea volcano four thousand feet above sea-level, to the summit of the great active volcano of Matna Loa, which towers 14,000 feet above the sea, will be constructed soon with the aid of the tederal gov- ernment which recently set apart the crater of Kilauea and the sur- rounding region as the’latest national park, according to a letter Teceived here recently by the Hilo board of trade. Professor T. A. Jaggar, Jr., United States government volcanologist on the island, and Lorrin A. Thurston, pub- lisher of the Honolulu Advertiser, pro- posed that the road be built some time ago, and they have enlisted the aid of ‘Stephen Mather; director of the na- tional park service, who has promised his cooperation, the letter said. Construction of the road will mean that tourists and inhabitants of the islands will be able to travel from Honolulu to the crater of Mauna Loa in twenty-four hours, it is said.
