Capital Flowing Out
.Vow conic an interview, pub
lished in a Berlin paper, quoting
llcrr t'rbie. director of the iJucon-to-GeeIlchaft
(one of the larget
bank in the Reich, admitting the
outward flow of German capital.
The figure, given by Herr Urbig are
cjuite naturally more conservative
than lho.e taken from the French
pre. Hit emirate and he admits
it it only an estimate putt the to
tal of converted German capital at
l.SOO.WH.OOO cold mark ($351,000.

place, he fay, during the tall of
JJI. when the mark suddenly col
lapsed.
.AsainM thi figure, however. Herr

hundred million gold marks repre

talists owe to allied and neutral
countries. lie cautions students of
frenzied international finance to
guard against the furor numert the
rrare of writing strings of reros
r.tid counting in billions and tril
lions.
Can't Stop Conversion.
Herr I'rhig does not believe that
the German government will in "its
present position be able to stop the
conversion of German capital.
Stronger governments have tried to
regulate the flow of financial paper
from cine country into another, but
have been baffled by the problem.
The treaty of Versailles contains
a clause permitting the allied gov
ernment! to seize private German
deposits in the fincial institu
tions of allied ' countries. This
clause, however, has been annulled
through the efforts of British finan
ciers, who found that it drove away
a lucrative amount of German busi
ness to American and neutral banks.

Elizabeth, quietly.
"Vou were alwavs ungrateful.
Mrs. Mason said, bitterly. "Vou

She paused. "Did vou hear what I

"Ves." said Elizabeth, "I heard

Mrs. Mason sailed triumphantly

She finished packing at fever
speed; she put on her hat and coat
and went downstairs and out into
the road.
She walked about till she found a
disengaged taxi; then she took1 it
back to the bouse.
"Please wait for me." she said.
She went up to her room again,
and unassisted, dragged her one
trunk down the three flights of
stairs. .
One of the maids hearing the
noise came to see what was the mat-
Elizabeth looked at her defiantly.
'T am trnincr amr." she said. "You

But the girl insisted upon neiping
her.
"I don't blame you for not stay

said downstairs that it was disgrace
ful the way you've been treated," she
said svmpatheticallv.
Elizabeth laughed; she felt utterly
reckless.
"It doesn't matter now," she said.
"It's all over.
She got into the taxi and the driver
shut th door.
"Where to. miss?" he asked.
Elizabeth hesitated. For the first
time she realized her utter loneliness.
Where could she go? She had not
a rr;nri in fhe world. Then sud
denly she thought of Royston. He
had said that she must always couni
on him as a friend. The color flowed
back to her pale face.
She would go to him. Even if be

"VW. tn miss?" thp driver asked
again, thinking she had not heard.

A great deal of Elizabeth's courage
had gone by the time she reached the
big porched door, but with the des
perate feeling that one blow more
or less could not matter, she asked
the taximan to wait and went up
stair?. ' .
There was a gramophone playing
in the big room and at first nobody
heard her knock: then the dark
haired girl whom she had seen before
came out.
Elizabeth asked for Royston.
