BANKING INSTITUTIONS OF
GERMANY AMALGAMATING
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, March
13.—“If it is true to say that our in
dustry is twice as rich as it was be
for the war, it is equally true
that our big banks are twice as
strong.” Thus commences the year’s
review of the German banking posi
ion in the Frankfurter Zeitung, the
leading' organ of German high fin
ance.
According to the reviewer, 1917 was
a year of amalgamations and exten
sions in the German banking world.
Many small private banks hav- been
absorbed by their bigger brethren and
the latter have branched out in the
allied countries and the occupied ter
ritories.
There was an enormous increase in
b
the number of new companies organ
ized and of new stock issues, accord
ing to the Berliner Tageblatt. One of
the largest stock increases noted is
that of the German Ahiline Combine.

The allies today ask 25 per cent
more fat and dairy products than we
;an spare unless we contrive to con
sume less.

for the German bombing expedition |j
which took place January 31. Fifty ] f
new relief posts had been established!!
in Paris and the suburbs where “first ^ g
aid” could be given to the wounded or I
to the “gassed." These preparations
along with daily warnings in the news
papers and hints as to what to do in g
case of alarm had given a sort or of- f
ficial support to rumors that had been |
in the air for months.
Parisians were warned to keep their 'J
windows open, their blinds shut and 3
their lights out. Full explanations as
to the best model of gash mask had
