It is officially stated that 3,180 dollars, 36 pounds sterling and various other suma in foreign currencies were obtained in raids made yesterday evening. Many foreigners appeared at police headquarters this morning and demanded their money back. The demand will be acceded to if they be able to prove they are only visiting Germany or are engaged, in business, but foreigners residing in Germany apparently will be treated similary to Gormans, and will not have any foreign money returned.
