The Spectator, one of the first

says:
There never was such a financial

The Greek question still remains
in about the same state, with some
manifestations that Turkey does not
relish the idea Of having a war,
even with this small nation, and
that the Greek government would
like to submit the matter to arbitra-
ton if it were sure that Europe
would insure to it all that the arbi-
tration would agree to give it.
England and France are working
together on the Greek question,
and both powers seem determined
that the Greeks shall have their
rights: If such terms cannot be
agreed upon as will satisfy an ex~
cited people, war may begin at
once. @
/ The Chicago Daily News says
that "the aggregate United States
debt is $2,121,481,475. This is
about $40 per capita. The highest
point reached by our debt was in
1866, the year after the close of the
war. 1t then stood at $2,773,236,-
173. The decrease since then is
$651,754,698, or nearly "a per
cent. This is doing well. In
1885, during Andrew Jackson's
second term, the debt was only
$751; 15. On January, 1791, it was
$5,463,476. At the beginning of
1916, after the war with Great
Britain, it was 1884, 1888; this
was larger amount than at any
time previous to the war of the re-
bellion." 50 ' -
