Thinks-GermUny's Offer
of Hundred Billion Gold .
Shows She Can Pay More
BERLIN, 'July 8. Richard Calwei,
financial writer, believes that' Ger
many's. offer of financial uulemnfty
supplies her enemies with a weapon
which may encourage them to force
her to fully comply with tiie terms
imposed. He writes:
'Germany, they will say, appears
to be quite solvent and her credit un
impaired if she is' able to offer a gold
intemnity of one hundred billion oi
her own initiative. . If she volunteers
that much, she is in reality .capable
of exceeding that limit, will be the
enemy's logic, and it is surprising to
think thia had not occurred before tA
men responsible for the offer."

scarcely moving in tho gentle breeze,

which made her visiblo to thousands
of spectators who had come hore in
motor cars, trains, and on foot to
watch the early leaving.
In contrast with conditions as the
darkness fell on Sunday, tho dirigible
was not riding in dajiger Monday
night. Sunday she was suspended
with her nose pointed towards the '
ground and her stern swinging at an ,
altitude several hundred feet higher,
in jeopardy of being dushed to pieces
on Roosevelt field, sudden gusts of

broad surface. This condition did not
