By Anoclated Press. Baris, Dec. 1.—An Invitation to the United States to appoint members of each of the two committees which are to investigate German finances, has been forwarded to Washington by Col. James A. Logan on behalf of the reparations commission. According to information in rep aration circles, the principal reason why the door was left open by the reparation commission for the Amer ican government to be represented on the committee was because the French, British and Italian governments were agreed that American money would he essential to any reasonable plan for restoration of the German finan cial system. Premier Poincare, it is declared, did not expect Secretary of State Hughes to refuse so quickly the conditions Insisted upon by France for the origi nally proposed Inquiry into Gjerman.v's capacity to pay reparation. M. Poin care haif thought, it is said, that a period of negotiations would take place in which Fiance would be pre pared to go much further in tlie direc tion of the American views, providing some concessions were made regard ing its debts to England and the United States.

Former Omaha Man Describes German Monetary Tragi-Comedy Computing Money Values as Much a Problem for Simple Folk as Getting Enough Money to Live—“Million Billion-Fimmel” Current Nightmare. C. H. Bankcs, a former resident of Omaha, who lias been in busi ness in Germany for 15 years, writes of tlie condition of the coun try from personal contact with the situation und the people. Mr. Bunkes is the son of the proprietor of the old Omaha Post und Telegraph company. By C. hTbANKES. Berlin.—The manager of a Ger mun savings bank committed suicide because he found he was not capable of managing the untangling of the Gordian billion knots in the currency problem. This is no exception to the mental suffering caused by the daily drop in the value of the mark. A poor working woman of Germany doe* not know how to make both ends meet and cover the expenses of a week with the pitifully gigantic amount of 150,000,000,000 marks. All conception of comparative val ue has disappeared. Money Valueless. Conditions here have rapidly been drifting Into chaos and as sorrowful as they are proving still tend to de velop Into a sort of comical deg> nera tlon. For Instance. Just try to fix the fact In your mind that a solitary Insignificant dollar has the ambition to represent the value of 58,000,000, 000 marks today. You will have to strain your faculties to a more than reasonable extent to realize that the conception of real value is rapidly drifting into a novel sort of Idiosyn crasy of figures. You then can also form a quirk apprehension that thiR new Infection must, even under or dinary circumstances, prove fatal to those simple mind* that never In their life dreamt of such sums. Chance happened to give them occasion to see them printed. But they are not able to analyze them and shake their heads In utter despair of something In comprehensible. Buyers- Bewildered. To these people a millionaire was the Ideal of something, to envy, like a prince In a fairy tale, and above this definition, their conception went wide. No one Is not at all surprised, to observe a kind of unearthly glare In the eyes of simple people when In the stores they are asked to pay 10gl0H.noft.000 for a loaf of bread or 30.000,000,000 marks for a pound of butter. Especially the old ones that depend on charity. If they can pay the price, they pay It. But they can form absolutely no Idea of the nuture of the sum Itself, or how It accumu lates, and If many of these people are Infected with a “milllon-blllton-flm mel," a* they term It here, one need not wonder. The dally food Is mak ing women more or less nervous. They are burdened with bundles of paper money, and as the prices even vary from hour to hour, they are com pelled to keep on calculating these huge figures under changing condi tions, so tljat tbe attain soon takea hold of them. Impossible to have. Naturally these conditions lend to keep all progress down, and every Imdy battles along, with the utmost effort to sneak around the clrcum Htancea, because everybody Is also convinced that the depredation of tb* mark will allow no saving, but only a vanishing profit for the mean* of existence. The whole affair, with the Vreneh In the Ruhr district. Is turnlag Into un Inextricable conglomerate, Kirin* try, although contrary to law. to re fuse to sell their goods for a worth less piece of paper, provkt/ng for a sum of imaginative value, and If this tension turns out In a repudiation of the paper mark altogether, then cer talnly we shall have the deluge and bloodshed, In form of civil war. Riot* and local Insurrections age now al ready a dally occurrence! But there are still hopes that the government will master the situation with a new currency, based on the guarantee of all property. Here, the fear Is again dominant that they cannot manage to maintain the value, and If this should be the rase, everything will go the same coiitso us before. Hove/llllient Illumed. Tills preca/lous situation Is not a lesull alone of the depression caused by the International conflict, but most visibly also a result of Inadequate government and parliamentary Inca pability. These disagreeable circum stance* liuve also been causing the middle and constitutional class of people considerable trouble. This class, the saving part of the nation, bad all their savings Invested In mortgages, and os there was no law In force to prutect tin si) Investments on gold basis of powwar time, people wanted to pay therm bark in depredated val ue, or in other words, with nothing The counts have now recently formed decision/! and uphold the ruling that prewap mortgages retain their valu& with the property and cannot be re deemed, unless paid in gold valuo, being the principle of the condition/! undqrr which they were given. This question was very essential, and these I people have renewed hopes, to regain ! their whole fortune, whereas Uiey were otherwise ruined. Insanity Common. The frenzy of this glorious epoch, in which the subversion of all values has achieved such devilish meaning, te avoid the expression nonsense, even takes hold of otherwise exceeding halmless people, who up to tlie pres ent time of their life had bron sub tle and seasonable, and the situation tends to drive thsrn to the limit nf patience, that means to gradually fit their mental faculties for a psycho pathic establishment. Candidly, does anybody take the trouble to observe the prodigious sums of units con tained in the gigantic figures men tioned before and with which people living in Germany have to contend with daily? I believe not and if they do they surely can form ne notion of any definite kind. The greater the figures grow the tasg do they allow a conceivable connection. The former antagonists of Ger many, who were the (nost modest with re<mrd to the rep*ration to he raid by Germany, demamded that BO, 000,000,000 gold value should be thought sufficient. Tf Germany should aocept that this sum could be paid today with Inflated paper marks at the rate of exchange mentioned above it would require the Imaginary amount of 700 trillions. 27.5 Beer Bill to Be Introduced By AiauflalM I rena. Washington. Dec. 1.—Amendment of the Volstead act r>i legalize manu facture of beverage/ having an alco holic content not to exceed 2.75 per cent by weight eg- S 46 per cent by volume is proposed in a bill dratted by Repreaentati/e Dyer of Missouri, a republican member of the house Judiciary committee.
