But even more be cause it makes practically impossible another of those currency panics which in the past have caused business depressions, shutdowns and lack of employment. Part of every dollar you de posit in this bank goes directly into this new system, makes it stronger and adds to the se curity of your money so deposited.

In Germany there is al ready an jneome tax and heavy taxes are levied on capita). If the condition of peace do not furnish (lermany with economic ad , untuKcs, nor enable it projiipUy to recover its credit abroad, .its industry and commerce will be in h criticiH condition. Admitting even that the entente is powerless A to close the leading- markets of the world on tier many, tho latter will be unable to procure raw material, and even if it were able to the cost would bo so liiKh it would put it out of competi tion. Sinult Coin is Scarce. The present situation in Germany is already critical regarding the cir culation of moiiey. as corn is scarce. - To make up for the deficit in small change, coins in zinc, iron and alumi ! mini have been stamped, but without the desired result. Coins of two marks (17 cents), one mark C'5 cents 50 pfennigs ( 1 ir cents t are lucking und only a few pieces of 50 pfenning; cents) are beinif stamped. On the other hand, the circulation i of bank notes, on Au. -I, 1 y 1 7. was j found to have increased since the : war from less than 3,00,L00,ono 'mlirks '($750,om,ovO) to over !.rr0. ; 000,000 marks t $ j,;a'5.ooif,ooti .

German exchange in neutral coun tries has fallen gradually as it indus tries have ceased to operate for pri- j vute needs and exportation has , minished. I In Switzerland, for instance, - the . German mark, whieh at pur id J on ! marks equals ILM.-ttl f runes, fell lo i 01.50 frunes on Aug. jO, 1 !U 7.
