CONFISCATION IS
NOT FEARFD HERE
Bankers Say American Hold
ings in Germany Are Neg
ligible by Comparison
New York.—Wall Street in gen
eral was not inclined yesterday to
feel alarmed at the possible confisca
tion of American property in Ger
many. The consensus of opinion
among the bankers is that the
amount of American property in
Germany is so small when compar
ed with -German holdings in this
country as to ba negligible, and that
any act of coniiscation by the Berlin
government would have but little ef
fect in America.
A number of American industrial
concerns as well as private banking
interests and trust companies have
maintained branches and affiliations
in the territory of the Central Pow
ers. In well informed quarters the
importance of this was minimized,
and it was said that as far as the pri
vote banking affiliations were con
cerned there was not a great deal to
worry about.
"The amount of American prop
erty in Germany at this time is so
small in proportion to the amount of
German property in this country as
to be negligible," said a prominent
banker. "Nothing the German gov
ernment could do to such American
property as there is over the,re would
have any serious effect here, for the
simple reason that there is not
enough of it. As far as American
bank balances are concerned it is
quite generally acknowledged that
they have been written down and
amount to nothing in comparison
with the German balances here."
Another man who is a close stu-
dent of foreign affairs and before
the breaking off of diplomatic rela
tions was in close touch with Ger
man financial affairs said:
"No one needs to feel apprehen
sive about the American property
now in Germany. It is well safe
guarded by the millions of dollars
worth of German property in this
country.
"Why the Kaiser himself has pri
vate interests in this country which
amount to between $3,500,000 and
$5,000,000. The Kaiserin is credited
with owning somewhere in the
neighborhood of $500,000 worth of
American securities, and other mem
bers of the reigning house are re
ported to hold about $7,000,000
more.
"In addition to this the Kaiser
had extensive land holdings in Can
ada, which were transferred to an
American syndicate after the out
break of the European war. In ad
dition to the holdings of the Hohen
zollerns just take into consideration
the number of Americans in Ger
many—a scant three or four hun
dred—and compare that number
with the number of Germans in this
country who own property here and
have bank deposits in our banks.
It would bo almost suicidal for Ger
many to take action against our
properties when the retaliation here
could be so much more far reach
ing."
Bishop Sees War Cause
in Lack of Church Unity
Philadelphia, Nov. 23.—Bishop
Rhinelander, in one of the most stir
ring addresses delivered before the
conferences of th Provincial Synod
of th Protestant Episcopal Province
of Washington, said yesterday after
noon, in his opinion the war was
brought about by the disunited con
dition of Christianity.
"The world was plunged into war,"
he said, "because the Church of God
was broken into fragments anl the
world was ripe for the work of the
devil."
Closer church union is coming as a
result of the struggle, he said, and
warned his hearers that if the
Church fails to measure up to the re
quirements of the men of the Na
tional Army when they return from
tlie trenches they will go elsewhere
and "set up a Christian fellowship
for themselves."
The bishop defended the war with
Germany as being biassed of God.
and criticized those who declare that
all wars spring from the devil. He
said, "There is a war that comes of
God, just as there is a peace that
comes of the devil."
HAVE POl'R SONS IN ARMY
Snook Family Is Well Represented
Mrs. Snook Works for Red Cross
Sunbury, Pa. .Nov. 23.—Four sons
of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Z. Snook, of
I.ewistown, are in the service of their
country. Two, Edward Snook, who
has already served four years, and
Jefferson Snook are at Camp Han
cock; Guy Snook is in the coast ar
tillery and Vincent Snook is at Camp
Hancock, Ga.
The mother, in addition to giving
up her sons, spends part of each day
working for the Red Cross, and
Kathleen Snook, her little daughter,
at a recent birthday party, declined
presents, but asked the guests to
bring money, which she turned over
to the Red Cross fund.

anteed to end indigestion, acute or
chronic, or money back. Tnis means
