WITHOUT CAPITAL
BOY OPENS BANK
IN RHINELAND
Its Checks Now Are Held in Pref
erence to Currency.
UPSETS HABIT OF CENTURIES
American Lad in Two Yeara Haa
Actually, Taught the Germane to
Uee Checks in Ordinary Buaineee—
Neidecker, Successful Bond Sales
man at Nineteen, Wine War Honors
In Air and at Twenty-Five Heads
American Plan Bank in Germany.
The crowded life story of B. Coles
Neidecker at tne age of twenty-five Is
not renected In the youthful, smiling
personality of an American boy who
capitalised opportunity and foresight,
opened e bank In Coblenz, Germany,
In June, 1920, without capital and Ig
norant of the German language. Ite
checks now are held in preference to
currency throughout the Rhineland.
He actually taught the Germans In
two years to use checks in ordinary
business, upsetting the strictly cur
rency habit of centuries.
He la founder and chief of the
Rhineland bank (Neidecker, Weinha
gen A Co.), Coblens, has declined of
fers to merge It with great banking
institutions of Germany and is in
New York organizing the Travelers'
Bank of Paris with fully developed
plans for Its operation there and.
through branches, all over Europe.
Not a fairy story at all. The Guar
anty Trust company of New York, In
Its hanking school taught him so well
that he was the youngest bond sales
man in New York in 1916 when he was
barely nineteen years old and he
showed a record with sales that in
cluded one to a very wealthy New
York capitalist of $450,000 In Anglo
F.-ench bonds.
Went to the War.
Thus fairly well started in life aa
a financier, he decided that it was too
slow a game when the war was on.
He applied for admission to the Fran
co-American flying corps. Its name
was superficially changed to the La
fayette Escadrille when the German
ambassador at Washington early in
1917 protested against association of I
the word American with a military
enterprise against Germany, not then
an enemy of the United States.
NeideckeFg application for a chance
to fight in the air was under favor- j
able consideration when he decided to
get to France at once. He joined the
American ambulance In Paris in Jan- j
uary, 1917, drove ambulances ana
later camions when the ambulance
service was diverted to transport of
supplies for the American forces. He
saw some very lively times around i
Solssons and on the Alsne In that j
work, but he wanted to get Into the
real thing, and as soon as American
military aviation was organized Nel- |
decker Joined that service, August, ;
1917.
When the armistice was declared
November 11, 1918, the American mili
tary aviation service had five gradu
ate air pilots at the front. Neidecker
was one of them. He wore the Croix
de Guerre with palm, had three rec- j
ommemlations for the Distinguished
Service decoration and a record of
bringing down three Fokkers and their i
pilots In air combats.
As pilot he was a first lieutenant j
and with that rank he was immediate
ly attached to the Hoover mission to
Poland on the staff of General Grove,
Its chief. Lieutenant Neidecker was
sent to Lithuania and there superin
tended distribution of American food
supplies.
This young man was educated en
tirely by tutors and prepared for Exe
ter and Harvard but when he was sev
enteen decided on business life,
banking, for his career. He entered
the Guaranty Trust company’s service
In Its school of instruction in 1915
and within 15 months was selling its
bonds in Wall street.
That training made him realize the
tremendous possibilities all about him
In post-war Europe. The American
Rhineland force whose headquarters
were outside Coblenz numbered about
30,000 and the United States was dis
tributing there about $1,000,000 good
American dollars every month In pay
ing them.
There was not In Coblenz any bank
which accepted dollar accounts. All
the banks handled marks exclusively
as the basis of their transactions.
There was a depositor’s field for that
million a month Just crying for a dol
lar deposit bank.
Found Credit Readily.
Capital was not an asset of the
youthful American financier but he
leased a two-story building, remodeled
It, fitted It up with a modern Ameri
can office equipment and had crowds
of Germans coming in to Just look at
It before It was finished. The German
banking house type then was a small
office with a counter, which only re
cently had supplanted merely the desk
of the German banker In his office In
bis home, where he transacted all his
boat ness.
Credit for tnia enterprise young
Neidecker found ready for his asking
on all sides. He had learned not to
be afraid of doing the unusual In Ger
many.
A partner who could speak German
was a great need for the new bank
mg house of oue American boy. Nel
decker found Paul J. Weinhagen In
the American camp. Weinhagen, a
! San Francisco boy, commissioned In
the American artillery service, was
, out of the army after the armistice
I and also broke.
That sort of boy was the boy who
appealed to the boy embryo banker
and they Joined forces, wonderful but
1 not capitalists.
But capital, you know, really la a
1 part of the routine in preparing for a
banking business. The American
j youths advertised for partners with
capital. They got two.
The bank was opened In June, 1920,
when the senior partner was twenty
three years old and did not look hla
age. Its site had been well chosen,
on the main route In Coblenz from
everywhere. Everybody bound from
the American camp for the other
banks, the Salvation Army headquar
ters, the theaters ,iad to pass ths
American bank.
Before it had a dollar of deposit!
It had all fittings ami supplies which
would be a credit to any bank In
America, Including bank check books
which cost about 20 cents each. It
paid for them and all its other con
struction liabilities in no time.
Godsend to the Army.
Immediately a tremendous business
In small loaus developed. The Ameri
can doughboys were always sending
money somewhere and most of them ;
wanted to borrow between paydays.
An officer's indorsement was all the
enlisted man needed to borrow a rea- ,
souably large portion of his pay in j
advance. A minimum fixed charge
was made for discount of these notes
and time loans were made to officers
at 8 per cent per annum. This busi- j
ness put the hank on its feet almost
before it needed feel.
The big field of local banking busi
ness with the Germans came more
slowly, but it rose and rose until It
reached important volume. The enor
mous speculation in Industrial stocks
and municipal bonds which followed
rapid depreciation of the mark in 1920
and 1921 brought the Rhineland hank
of the young Americans another
source of large Income in commissions
for executing sales and purchases.
This grew to such size that the bank
was not able to handle all of its
brokerage business and had to divide
It with correspondent hanks.
Success of this phenomenal sort
naturally attracted to the American i
bunkers the keen interest of groat ,
German banking houses. Offers were
made to buy or absorb the new in- j
stitutlon. hut they were not enter
tained.
When the Rhineland hank was
opened the Germans of Coblenz never
thought of using checks except in
large transactions. If a business man
received in payment of an account a
check for 1,000 marks lie tucked it
carefully in his pocket and went
around to his hank, which resembled
an old-fashioned law office rather
than a financial institution. The
banker sent the check to the hank on
which It was drawn, or to his own.
and paid out the cash, which was car
ried off by Its owner or deposited to
Ids account.
The American bank paid Its hills
with checks, of course, and thus ad
vertised Its modem methods locally.
Germans began to he depositors in
satisfactory numbers and they learned
to pay their bills In checks. Their ex
ample spread.
Then came one of the strangest
things in financial history. As the
| gold value of the German paper mark
shrank German industry was in
I creasing as never before. This meant
j an Increasing need for currency and
an increase at the same time In the
| amount of currency needed. Two
marks were needed one month to pay
what was a bill for one mark the pre
vious month.
Checks Better Than Money.
Scarcity of currency grew. A cli
max came last July and was repeated
with growing threat of disaster there
after week after week. The printers
who printed the Reichsbank national
paper currency of Germany went on
strike in July following the murder
of Dr. Walter Rathenuu, minister of
finance. No currency was printed for
weeks, and Issue never has caught
np with increasing demand for cur
rency.
Checks of the Rhineland hank of
the young Americans became cher
ished things. They were preferred to
currency. Those lucky enough to get
them held mi to them as if they were
gold coin. Toe hank could not get
its checks back.
Thus millions of marks were loaned
to the hank by these holders of Its
checks because the cash held to pro
tect them became available for loans
by the hank with great profit from
such use. The necessary securities to
meet these checks were, of course,
kept in the depositary banks of the
Rhineland hank. Those securities bore
interest and the money representing
the withheld checks was bearing In
terest in loans, so the bank profited
both ways.

Kosmlnski, whose father was famous
as American director of the French
line of steamships during his adminis
tration throughout the war years.

DRUG STORES AND
THE DODECANESE
Harks Back to Hippocrates, Fa
ther of Modern Medicine.
I
'DRUG ISLAND' NOW HERBLESS
Pharmako, Called the “Drug Island,"
Perpetuatee Ite Claim to Being First
Drug Store in World by Title “Phar.
D.” Held by Every Man Authorized
to Fill Your Prescription—Another
of the Islands Was Home of Hippoc
rates.
Busy Babbit Is apt to skip the Item,
“Italy Announces Cession of Dode
canese Invalid, Pending Lausanne Con
ference,” with the exclamation;
“What are these Greeks to me? I
build bungalows, not Greek temples;
and I haven't time for the theaters or
the art galleries.”
On the way home, however, Babbit
calls at the doctor's office. "Been a lit
tle sluggish," and he takes the pre
scription to a drug store.
“That's when the Dodecanese come
In,” says a bulletin from the Washing
ton headquarters of the National Geo
graphic society.
“On Kos, second largest of the Dode
canese, lived Hipocrates, the father
of modern medicine. For service to
mankind this Intellectual colossus of
Kos deserves to overshadow the Inani
mate colossus of Rhodes, the largest
Island In the chain that straggles from
Samos toward Crete.
"Pharmako, or the Island of herbs, Is
now herbless. But this 'drug island,’
occupied some years ago by a single
family, perpetuates Its claim to being
the first drug store In the world by
the title ‘Phar. D.' held by every man
authorized to fill your prescription.
‘‘Pharmako is not one of the major
land units which give the group Its
name—Twelve Islands. Even some of
the twelve are, or have been, uninhab
ited, and on none of their rocky sur
faces are the residents self-sustaining.
Bore Gift of Sponges and Loaves.
“When, in 1521, Kalymnos, just north
of Kos. gave up Its losing fight and
sent a mission to surrender to Sultan
Suleiman, the delegates took along a
highly suggestive geographical exhibit.
The gifts they bore consisted of
sponges and white loaves. The first
symbolized tlielr principal Industry—
and today the sponges piled on the
drug store counter most likely were
collected by a Dodecanese diver—while
the white bread showed the Islanders’
need of wheat from the mainland of
Asia Minor since they could not live
upon corn of their own growing.
"When the sponge-grounds in the
Aegean became depleted the Dodecan
esc divers discovered other beds off
Tripoli and when Italy virtually made
a monopoly of the fisheries there som*
of ttie divers fared as far away from
home as Tarpon Springs, Fla., to ply (
their precarious trade.
“Patinos, northernmost of the group,
known wherever the Bible Is read be
cause its cave sheltered St. John, was
without a single Inhabitant in the ;
Twelfth century.
“It long lias been a saying that the
Greek Islands are more Greek than
Greece. Ttie Dodecanese are among
the most Greek of all the Islands.
Homer knew them all and mentions the
leaders under which their armies took
part in the expedition against Troy.
"One sort of ruins of the time of
Hippocrates may well be considered
the precursor of another humane In
stitution of modem life, the hospital.
On Kos may be seen the base stones
and columns of an Ascleplon, one of
those Institutions, which blended ths
modern functions of a temple, a sani
tarium and a clinic. By Incantations,
charms and witchcraft the asclepln
sought to heal the sick, and It was
against these practices that Hippoc
rates rebelled. He was not permitted
to dissect human bodies, but his study
of animals and a comparison of their
habits, anatomy and functions with
those of man gave him a remarkable
basis for diagnosis of human life. His
I Ideag about diet and regimen for the
sick, for example, are remarkably
sound when It Is considered he was a
plon'tW In this field.
Healing Arts Among Greeks.
“To many sufferers the ‘faith cures'
effected by the asclepla were potent;
other* were kept In physical condition
by the gymnasia, but Hippocrates'
1 fame as a surgeon, especially, soon
spread far. Thus these remote Aegean
islands had three therapeutic schools
which corresponded to our modem
practitioners of mental healing, medi
cal practitioner* *nd physical cultur
lsts.
"Geologically the Islands are frag
ments of Asia Minor, tom away by
i some remote volcanic upheaval. The
1 sporadic formation of the group Is at
tested by their other name. Sporsdes,
given them in contrast to the Cyclades,
so called because of their circular ar
rangement.
“Should you visit a home In Rhodes
yon would get a first Impression that
some member of the household has a
hobby for collecting curious, hetero
geneous assortments of plates. When
a child Is bom custom decrees that a
plate be added to the family collec
tion, and the pattern of this plate must
be distinctive. Hence a genealogy re
corded In platters which. If they are
the famous Rhodian ware, have greet
beauty and a high price, since only ex
treme stress or a generous offer would
Impel a family to part with any at the
family tree.”
GLORIOUS FREEDOM
[ By DOROTHY DONAHUE |
(<£) by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
Pa Whittaker, being fifty-two and
, henpecked, wiggled his toes happily
i (n his broad-toed shoes to express his
great joy when Ma Whittaker decided
to take a vacation—ndnns Pa.
Of course, Pa conceded, within the
protective walls of the woodshed, Ma
had a few merits. She did darn his
stockings and keep his clothes mended
and give him the best of meals, besides
keeping the house us spotless aud
shining as a new aluminum pun under
the direct rays of the sun ; but Pa felt
i justified, nevertheless, in his happiness,
because, oh, how Mu Whittaker’#
tongue could fly.
So it was that Pa closed the house
the next day und made for the city.
Pa reached the city in a state of
glorified individuality. His funds were
low, very low—so the only restaurant
that could possibly attract him was
exceedingly undesirable with it#
smoke-clouded windows, greasy, wet
counters und suspiciously revolving
stools. But Pa wus hungry, so he
forced his way In and sat down a lit
tle mournfully, with the odor of corned
beef and cubhuge prevailing. He was
thinking of Mu Whittaker when he or
dered flapjacks—and was disappointed.
Thin, soggy, burnt—horrible! Pa
| gulped down his cofTee, and, forget
ting that he was not in the broad
lmcked chair at home, leaned hack!
Two dark-faced roaring sailors picked
him up, snapped u few pieces of in
visible hayseed from bis shiny coat
and bowed low.
Pa reached the street, greatly sur
i prised und humbled, minus the bravado
: of early morning.
Pa felt a sudden desire for quiet and
. calm. Everyone seemed to he rush
ing past him. In the midst of the ex
cited, jabbering throng he felt strange
ly alone. The cool gray front of a
movie theater, with Its welcoming
gaudy splotch of posters, attracted.
Pa went into the soft durkness and
groped his way to a seat near the
back, sitting down with a worried lit
tle sigh of relief. But his eyes were
a little weak, and he couldn’t read the
sub-titles. Ma Whittaker hud read
them, gladly, the few times they had
been.
A stout, laughing woman wedged
her way into the row in front of him,
followed by her husband. Her broad,
expansive hack obstructed Pa's view
to the point of exasperation. He moved
uneasily in his chair. The stout lady
read the first title in a loud, husky
voice. The man with her nodded and
stared straight ahead.
An aching flood of genuine home
sickness almost overcame Pa. He crept
out of the dark little palace Into the
sunshine “and decided at once to go
home and sleep rather than brave thp
terrors of a public and cheap hotel.
Pa found the house empty, hollow
sounding, lonely. The deadly absence
of Ma's merry hut insisient chirping
wns distracting. He fell asleep read
ing the Cazette find stroking the cat.
He dreamed it was Mu’s hand he was
patting while -he scolded him, furi
ously, for some little tiling—ami he
awoke smiling, only to frown at sight
of the purring little ball of fur.
Outside it was drizzling. It' had
been drizzling in Pa’s heart all day.
He pulled on a battered hat and start
ed for tlie garden. He could ulipost
see her now puttering among those
swaying poppies and that deluge of
color that spread over half an acre.
“Pa Whittaker I"
Pa blinked pule eyes and swung
around like a well-trained soldier. He
must lie getting old. His eyes
"Pu Whittaker—out in tills wet gar
den without your rubbers! I’ve told
you and told you, and just because
you think I’m not looking, you sneak
out and plow through this wet.
you’re not a young man, I want you
to remember, und if-”
Pa followed the voice blankly Into
the house and fell into a chair. The
voice went on.
“And I decided I’d better not stay
away more’n a day with you so fer
getfu1, so I trudged right home, nnd
here you are, as usual, doing some
thing that will be the death of you.
I’ve been looking everywhere for you
—everywhere, and-—’’
Pa still stared., Understanding crept
slowly, very -lowly Into his mind.
Something inside him kept repeating:
“Site’s here—to stay. Site’s here—to
stay.”
Fifteen mlnuters later Ma ran out of
breath and stopped to regard the si
lent figure in the chair.
“Per land sokes, Pa, are you dumb?
Say something!"
Pa looked up into the sharp eyes
that held a glint of kindness.
“Ma, please--please keep right on
talking. I was never so happy in my
life! Never!

mysterious unimal that Is said to haunt
