one quarter Of the wages Of cur men. But
q German can save money, and he knows
when II Is safe. Now these shrewd, thrifty
Germans want our bonds. They want
them by millions. They turn aside from
the great beggars Of the world in Europe,
the notes Of Napoleon and Joseph and
Macmillan with Indifference, but want to
discount all the American notes they can
get. The London Times says this is all
wrong-that the Republicans in America
are all bankrupt, and the Germans must
