German Gold Loss

Washington, July 31. -Shrinkage in
tha gold raaarra of Germany. as indi
cated by the weekly returns of the
Reichsbank, is ir.terpreted hero as em
phasizing the ncccssity for strict en- j
forcement of the embargo on exports to I
neutrals. The only markets remaining
open to Germany are the Scandinavian
countries, Holland and Switzeriand, and
perhaps, to a minor extent, Spain.

quently, large sums have been owing

than ship gold. Germany has settlcd
this balance er.tirely through the me
dium of the exchange market Conse
nuently, the value of the mark has de
Clined greatly. Tho depreciation
reached serious proportions recently,
end the purchasing power of the mark
was so reduced that the German tiscal
authoritie* evidently have deculed to
abandor the policy of keeping the gold
stock intact at any cost, and have
ghipped substantial amounts to the
market? in which she makes large pur
chases, thcreby partly rectifying mark
exchange in thise markets.
Germany is also said to be using
nuch gold in Turkey and Ru??:a.
The lesses in reserve through gold
-hipments to neutral companies have
r e.>n made up in part by an "appeal"?
. railed '"ueat of eoafiaeation -
to th? people for surrender of their
gold jewelry. Karly in the wsr Ger?
many appealed to the people to give up
gold in every form. and the request met
with a substantial response, but it is
evident that bytio m?*ns all the Ger?
man people were patriotic enough to
g/.e up their trinkets._

"Save a Minute a Call
in the Interest of All"
To-day time is at a premium. The Nation is awake,
straining every muscle in the march towards National
Preptredness.
Every minute counts, Every minute intelligently
saved is a contribution towards greater national efli
ciency,
The Bcll System handles thirty million telephone
calls a day. If on each of these calls an average of one
minute could be saved by more efficient use of the
telephone, thirty million minutes more could be de
voted to productive work.
This would be a tremendous contribution to National
Erficiency. It would mean a saving of 20,833 days of
24 hours each?a saving of 57 iears every day!
Just a little more care in calling correctly, in answer
ing the telephone promptly, in speaking clearly and
distinctly so that repeating of the numbers or of parts
of the conversation is not necessary will quickly save
the minute on every call.
Jfrdl you do your part by trying to save a miju>
ute on every call you make, not only that you
way save time, but also that you may help keep
the lines clear for the all-important messaget
dealing with the National Defeme f
