PLUTOCRATS DEVELOPING
- IN GERMANY
Special Correspondence A P.
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, June
2!). The Merlin Tageblatt, in a finan
cial article, calls attention to the
increasing danger of German finan
cial power being concentrated in the
hands of a few through the growth
of "multiple directorships.” German
bankers it says, are rapidly accumu
lating directorships in all the con
cerns in which the'ir banks are inter
ested. Thus, the number of ♦director
ships held by Molds Hagen, a Cologne
millionaire, is now 5<i; Karl Furst
enberg of Merlin, has 55; Herr von
Seliwabaeh has 42; Huron Simon von
(Jppenheim and two or three others
have 40 cacti; while there is a large
group of bankers and industrial lead
ers who boast of between 30 and 40
each.
GERMAN MINE KILLS
NINE FISHERMEN
Special Correspondence A. P.
GALWAY, Ireland, June 2'J.—Nino
Galway fishermen were Mown to
pieces a few days ago while exam
ining a German “barrel mine” which
they had found ai sea and towed
ashore.
% Irish fishermen have made lately
a great many lucky hauls of barrels
containing petrol, tallow, oils and
similar treasures, supposedly from
torpedoed ships. TIVts time they saw
a promising looking barrel afloat
some distance from land with a con
venient handle on each side, and they
promptly towed it ashore, rolling it
tip on tlie beach for examination.
Four men were tr. the b int and six
more gathered aroun;t wir'e the prlzt
was on tiie bench. 'no man, Joseph
O’Flaherty, li.ad a suspicion of danger,
anti warned the others but they paid
no attention to h'lm and he hid him
self behind a rock.
One of the fishermen removed a
couple of screws from (he head of
tlic barrel, and then began to pull
mi a piece of cord. The explosion
which followed was heard miles away,
and shook houses four miles distant.
After a time O’Flaherty, who had
been wounded in the head with a
piece of stone, stood up, but not a
trace of the mine or the men was
to he seen. There was only a great
hole in the beach. Searchers found a
portion of the fishermen’s boat near
ly a ndle away. A small hoy whose
attention was attracted to the group
of men on the shore was running to
ward them just as the mine ex
ploded. One of his arms was after
ward found near his home, Iml there
was no other trace of him.
BOTHA AGAINST
S. AFRICA INDEPENDENCE
Special Correspondence A. P.
CAPETOWN, South Afitica, June
29.—A grave warning against pro
paganda aiming a the political inde
pendence of South Africa has just
been Issued broadcast by General .
Botha. His statement follows:
“Members of the South African
party must not allow themselves to
lie misled by false and misleading!
propaganda for Independence. The!
proposal is now being made merely i
to win votes at the provincial comic'll I
elections by an appeal to sentiment |
and not to the sound sense of the- j
people.
The proposal is wholly imprac
ticable and is more over very dan
gerous. for in the present war condi
tions it can only lend to bitterness,
division race haired and even civ'll
war.
Til/*re is in South Africa a string j
English population whose mother ,
land is now engaged in a life and |
death struggle. It is not surprising |
that they regard this movement as i
treasonable and disloyal. II is un
just and dishonorable to make sileh
an attempt at this moment and the
dishonor is all the greater as the!
proposal is only Intended to catch
| votes for a particularly party.
My warning is intended very earn
| estly, because I foresee in this move"
ment nothing hut ruin for South Af
rica and disastrous consequences for
the South African people. I appeal
above all to our pioneers and the
fathers of our people to follow the
safe way of honor along which a great/
future awaits us.”
