British Blockade Aids Germany's War Loans Arms Industry Developed at Home?Government Pays Promptly for Supplies?Cash Is Plentiful and Subscriptions Flow In. By DR. VON GLASENAPP, Vi__-Preiide.it of the Board of Director? of the Reichsbank. (Copyright, 1915, by The Sew York Tribune.) Berlin, Oct. 25.?The development of economic and financial conditions in Germany since the beginning of the world war has beer, unique, extreme? ly significant, and beyond the hopes of the most optimistic German circles. At the beginning of the war the whole economic fabric of German life seemed endangered. Would it be possible to maintain the industrial rela? tions^ Would not the majority of industrial enterprises be ruined? Would not general unemployment and poverty follow in the wake of the ' collapse of commercialism? Would not a disastrous credit crisis shake the [ fundament?is of (?.rmany's industries? But German economic life showed a strengt!) and a power of resistance which surpassed all expectations. It is quite tru?' that an unusually strong demand for credit exerted it? self at first. This pressing need wan effectively met by the newly created "ReichFdarleherikassen" (loan department branches of the Reichsbank), : which issued elastic credits on secured collateral. Besides, the directorate '..f the Reichsbank began an a?~tive reorganization of the credit system as a means of financial "first aid." First in Hamburg, and then in Berlin, and many other cities, "Knegskredithanken" (war credit banks) were founded, with the co-operation of city councils, chamber?? of commerce, corporations and big business, to create personal credit for the middlemen and small merchants. Other nearly created organizations facilitated the elasticity of mort? gages as a credit basis. The "Genossenschaftsverbaende" (labor unions, etc.) took care of the cn-dit needs of the working classes. With the help Of these organizations the credit crisis was quickly disposed of. Hustne??

The most imp of these was in the field of in t-.onal money exchange. Roe rials, gun-, muni'inns and si were mail?" at home, and the amount- needed to cover such were kent in Germany.

This brilliant success is principally tlue to the favorable development <?f Germany's economic and financial con? dition.

It is true, of course, that economic conditions were not the only cause of the success of the war loan?. Patriot? i ism, the willingness to brinir lacril ?-? and, above all, the determination of the German psspls to bring the war to a i ucci ssful termination played a big role in the schlsTSBISBta of th< suits.

MAY NOW ACQUIRE TURK NATIONALITY New York Rabbi Puts Little Faith in Latest Expedient of the War. Washington, Nov. 17. -Turkey, in an effort to draw within its borders Jew? now in territory ceded away by the Ottoman Empire as a result of the last Balkan war, has decided to grant them the same benefits and exemption? as heretofore were accorded only to Ma hamnie.lans. An announcement to this effect wa? ma?le here to-day by the Turkish Embassy. "The advantages and exemption," said the announcement, "consist of ex? ceptional facilities for having access to Ottoman soil, the acquisition of Ot? toman nationality, and immunity for a certain period, from payment of taxes and military service. "Di.ring the last century the Otto? man government has accorded these fe eilitics exclusively to Mohammedan Im? migrants coming to Turkey from Rus? sia, Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia and Bos? nia. This is the first time that these exemptions have been granted to immi? grants profes.ipg a religion other than the Mofiararn -dan." Dr. Maurice H. Harris, president of the Eastern Council of Reform Rabbis, said last night that he placed little faith in Turkey's new grant of privi? leges to the Jews. "The special privileges now promised by the ottoman Empire to those of other faiths does not mean much to MS," i. ? Bold. "' regard it as nothing m?.re than an expedient of war. Other belligerent countries have promised special right? and emancipation to those suffering under disabilities in order to obtain their loyalty and gup port. Promises made under such emergencies may be taken for what they are worth. "Besides the desire to swing the loy? alty of the Jews in the territory cedeil away by the Ottoman Umpire as a re sull of the last Bahvan war, there is the de?ire to swing the public opinion of the Jews and other peoples in neu? tral countries to the side of Turkey. This motive is well illustrated by the promise? of several of the belligerent Kur..pean countries." SAYS BERLIN "PUNS SECRET RADIO I ontlnued from pi??? 1 !!?? mad? the comment from these that messages could be transmitted from the station for about 110 miles, but they could receive messages from a much greater distance. In view of this statement from Mr. Collar, the Embassy calls attention to th?; great frankness of messages sent by I'nited States government em nloyes rhrough Tuckerton, w-hich speak >.f sending messages through the new station. While no official comment could be obtained to-night, ir is believed here that there will bo a searching investi? gation by the Navy Department as a result of the charges, particularly into the ease with which the messages al? most outlining the plan of work at the new German .station were dispatched to high German officials by Mayer. The comment that newspaper sensations might privent the co-operation between "the Navy Department and us" is also !ik?>iy to result in a rigid inquiry. On?' of the most curious of the mes? sages sent from Tuckerton by Mr. May? er to the president of the Hamburg Ar. erican Line was that sent after dis? satisfaction had been expressed, appar ertly, with the speed of the progress of the new work, or some other element in the work of the German agent. "If my services are not satisfactory," he wirelessed on October 1-, 'as seem ingly indicate?! by your messages, im? portance of situation prompts me to beg board of direction appoint succes? sor to take better care of situation and i< lease me of duty. Respectfully." Some stress was laid here to-night en the use of the words "importance lation" in this message. A harm less little receiving station, which did not intend to send messages, it wi pointed out, would not merit sut words in a cablegram addressed to su? an important German official. On tl other nar.d, if the guess by ths Unit? States radio inspector, that the st tion could only ?end about 110 mil? is true, the words would seem to I singularly strong for their actu meaning. It is believed here that the big 1,80 foot aerial, located on the coast ai even closer to Germany than the st tion at Tuckerton, could talk to Ge many direct if need be. The text of the messages sent fro Tuckerton in regard te the Deerii station, and submitted to the State D partment. follows: In anawer to Your Excellency note of this morning: First-All wireless communicati? in United State? controlled by Na?
