HAWKERS OF GERMAN MONEY DRIVEN FROM PARIS STREETS — (By Associated Press) Paris, Dec. 14.—German banknotes, mostly in millions and billions, have been driven off the streets of Paris by the police. They were sold chiefly as souvenirs or given as premiums, but the city authorities discovered * war-time law forbidding traAe in foreign monies except under license, and they have' applied It. Just why this law should have been dug up now, after German currency had been circulating widely for sev eral years, puzzled the curious, as they felt it to be quite worth while for the French to see to what depths the mark had fallen. The authorities, however, thought the influence of the depreciated German money was had, "or it could not stimulate the people’s :onfidence in governments or cur rencies, even their own, to have be fore thqjn the evidence of a once great nation, in the depths of despair.

He ad vocated the building up of new and independent institutions instead ot trying to wreck those now in exist ence, and held the regeneration ot rural life to be more important than national reform. ^ The one problem of the day, said the poet, was the question of Hindu Muslim unity. He considered that the leaders of the country had not yet been able to arrive at any practical or permanent solution of this prob lem, and was thoroughly convinced that until the question has been ef fctively solved all efforts to establish self-government will be wasted. He stated emphatically, that he was not one of those who thought freedom from foreign rule would immediately solve all India’s difficulties. “The Mahommendans,” he con tinued, are united in an religious matters, and have a democratic or ganisation. I cannot understand why they wish to come to terms with the Hindus who are demoralised with internal divisions and dissentions and full of the false pride of religious aristocracy. The Mohammedans have strength in them and are conscious of it. They know that the Hindus are weak. I can not expect the Mahom mendans to rise above their nature and determine their relations with the Hindus in a spirit of broadminded ness. “I went to Malabar immediately after the Moplah rebellion. There I saw with my own eyes how 4,000,000 Hindus had become mortally afraid of only 1,000,000 Mahammendsne. The Hindus were living at the mercy of the Mohammedans. What has been possible under the British govern ment would remain possible should that government be removed. “Another factor which makes it al most impossible for Hindu-Muslim unity to become an accomplished feet is that the Mohammendans can not confine their patriotism to any one country within geographical limits. The Moeiem world has been built up on a basia «f religious fraternity. It over Widely different parts of the globe. Even such men as Mahommed Ali have declared that under no cir cumstances is it permissable for any Mahomme^an, whatever his couhtry may be, to stand against any other Mohammedan.” j COOLIDGE SELECTS CHICAGO (By Associated Press) Washington, Dec. 14. — Genera) campaign headquarters for Coolidge Will be established at Chicago on De cember 27, it was announced today.

It is the Protestant ele ment which is entering most acutely from this widespread distress. Com prising as it dpes the middle class generally speaking, and to a large ex tent the professional class, it is in the gravest danger^ of extinction in the great wave ot '• economic disaster which has engnlfed Central Europe. “American Protestantism is deeply rooted in the soil- of Europe. Scarcely a denomination but has its. traditions of the first pastor who left his perish in England, or Germany, or France, or some other country on the contin ent to plant the seeds of his faith in the soil1 of the New World. All de nominations with definite affiliations on the other side have been sendinr relief in considerable sums to theii sister churches overseas, but this specific denoraipgtional relief, how ever, is not tfuffi^lent to deal with the present crista. 2 s; “Only y all the American churches W&rkfng side by side in-a common cause can keep the Whole fabric of European Protestantism from crumbling. The foundations are strong, for they are founded on the Gospel itself, but the superstructure ,the painful, construc tive labor of several centuries, is in danger of collapse. “With the closing of evangelical in stitutions of benevolence and tht suspension of theological schools and publications, more is lost than the -material value of the service rendered or of the equipment in the buildings. When despair takes the place of hope, with one position after the other has to be surrendered to the encroaching tide of impoverishment, a sense of defeat comes uppermost and spiritual values which are incalculable are de stroyed. "The European churches in the countries not so immediately affect ed by the economic depression are striving gallantly to save what they can out of the wreck, but they are themselves too weak or too poor to accomplish the required results in spite of the most heroic self-saerific.
