Jean de Bloch sounded his first ma
jestic warning as to the financial ruin
involved in war, the war debts of the
nations have mounted higher and
higher, and the yearly budget for war
machinery has doubled and doubled,

scale.
1t is said that the Bank Of Eng
land possesses a psychological re-
serve.' which guarantees the future
payment of all its notes. No note OF
this bank has ever been dishonored
lalthough more than once this bank
has had to lean on the financial credit

1t is less than century and a half
lsince the pownbroker, Mayor Amschei.
Iealled Bauer, of Frankfort on the
Main. doing business under the sigh
lof the Red Shield. first entered into
international life. He was the ,.nan-
cial uncle of the Landgrave of Hes
Ison Cassel, and the honorarium paid
him for furnishins the Hessian troops
in the war of the Revolution made
him factor in large affairs. As
uncle TO the King of Denmark. his

This little man. says Bismarck
of his agent, Bleichrodcr, this little
man has counted coins since the birth
of Christ" and as an agent of the
Unseen Empire. Bleichroder told to
a franc what could be extorted from
France. A loan OF the same sum from
the house of Rothschild was for the
time being Frances salvation. The
crown of the last Napoleon was
bought and held in its place by the
gold of the Unseen Empire while the
struggle in which this same crown
fell was financed on both sides alike
by the same majestic masters of fin
: ance These money lenders on both
sides alike belonged to the group that
knows no nationality and never acts
on cross purposes. Tho drastic exac-
tlons of Germany were fixed by the
Invisible Empire. BY the same men
these vast sums were paid the loan
being finally cancelled in large part
by the patience and thrift of the peo-
pie Of France. And the debt once
: paid, the sum was borrowed again
in part for railway construction. but
for the most part the loan went into
the bottomless pit OF militarism. anC
the debt of France today overtops that

bonds which guarantee these loans
and those of other nations are con.
