upon the gold reserves TO pay for the rau-
nitions Of war.
Bankers Chief Factors.
{ In such an event. even the vast appro-
priations OF the countries would not go
far toward paying the S64,0Oo00o daily
that Is the estimated cost Of the big war.
They are all forced to borrow heavily.
and It Is thus that the worlds great
bankers. like the Rothschilds and Nor
san & Co., become factors in the Euro
pean crisis.
Until national credits fail credit rather
than actual possession Of gold. must be
the source Of the Efherewithal for mill
tary operations.
In considering the comparative ability
Of European countries TO raise money, II
must be borne in mind that the existence
OF the great war. INVOLVING nearly all
the powers, necessarily limits each gov
ernment's credit to its own territory and
that OF its friends and allies. Austria
Hungary and Germany are no longer
able to raise money In France and Eng
land. and those countries cannot borrow
In Germany and Austria. France and
England have in the past been the great
est money LENDERS
In the light 'of the actual new credit
resources, the following existing national
debts should be considered: France, S.
515, 900. 900; Russia, $500, 000 900: Austria
Hungary. $3.50. 100, 900; Germany, $780,

Long time ago, when the little boys
among the Indians Of the wide plains
used to play at holding council, there
was always much talk among them OF
who would DO chief and sit at the head
Of the council.
As the talk went on and got louder
and louder, one OF the old men would
como walking slowly towsSd the boys.
Then one Of the boys would say:
Let US leave the choice to this grand
father; the boy he chooses shall be
chief" But the old man would say:
Il think you ought to settle 1t for
yourselves. Surely you are as smart as
Mr.. Fox and Mr.. Rabbit were at the
time they both wanted to be chief Of
the animal peoplel"
''oh, what story Is that?" the boys
would ask, and they would forget their
Qusrreling while the old man gave them
this story:
For q long. long time. the Erub-vorm
sat in the chiefs seat at the councils Of
the animals. He was q wise ruler OF the
council, and the only reason he wanted
to give up was that he grew so fat he
could no longer rise up from his seat to
see who was about to talk
30 the animals had to pick out aRother
chief. There were many meetings, and
all over the world they talked with each
other whenever they met. First one and
then another named an animal; then the
grub-worm told the carrier pigeon TO 60
around the world and count the voices
which named now this animal and then
that
Aftsr the carrier pteeSh came back, the
Erub-worm asked her what animal had
been named most often. The carrier pig
eon answered:
Both the rabbit and the fox hAvs been
named the same number Of times; and
there is no other who was named 90
often" a,
"H-m-m" said the grub-vorn. and he
sat down TO think; then he sent for Mr..
Fox and Mr.. Rabbit. First he talked to
Mr.. Fox. and Mr.. Fox said:
You ought TO know that I am the
shrewdest Of all animals, am swift as
the light; I run through the woods. and
no one can hear me; my advice Is want
