BLACKMAILING GOLD HOAR DERS
' There are thousands of Germans who aro hoarding' 10 and 20 mark (10s. and 205.) gold pieces in stockings and cupboards,', rather than give them to tho Imperial Bank in exchange for paper. The "Cologno Gazette" announces that any gold coin still in hiding by January "1, 1917, will lose its legal tender value, arid expresses tho hopo that hoarders will take the hint. The. semi-official organ states that tho Imperial Treasury intends to "remint" the' existing gold circulation, substituting for the present currency new coins .emblematic of the present "great hour." Eminent artists, have been entrusted with'the task of devising ft; suitable design which is to be. "essentially different" from the nres»nt gold pieces, which bear the head ,of the Kaiser. The Treasury seems to.-be taking a long look into the future. '.
