BERLIN, April 14.—The enormous,
increase of paper currency in Ger-1
' many has enabled counterfeiters to j
flood large parts of the country with
I spurious bills. It is estimated that
1 gangs of criminals have made several
million dollars in this way. Recently
j six men and two women were tried, j
i convicted and sentenced to long prison!
! terms in Breslau for circulating bogus j
ten mark ($2.50) bills. At the trial j
i the members of the gang confessed
that their harvest during the last six
months has amounted to more than
1 four hundred thousand dollars, but
i they refused to tell where the bills
I were made and the counterfeiting
! plant could not be discovered by the
authorities.
