HAS GERMANY MONEY TO KEEP ON FIGHTING?
SHE HAS, DECLARES ROGER BABSON

How long will the war last?
That is the most important ques-
ton in the world today. 1t is i'm
portant in America. Everybody in
the United States wants to know.
The length of the war depends on
how long the resources of each side
hold out. The chief resources are
MONEY and FOOD. t..
Nobody in America is better able
to write. on the matter of the money
and food resources of the warning
nations than Roger Babson, the
noted statistician, banker and inter-
national student of Boston, Mass.
Mr.. Babson gets his statistical infor-
nation from his agents in all parts
of the world and also by visits he
makes personally to important coun-
tries.
Mr.. Babson has been specially en-
gagged by the Day Book to write on
the financial and food resources of
each side in the great struggle. We

The word hope" and the word

the great illustration of today is the

people are taking toward Germany
and the Germans.
We are making our hopes" twist

nevertheless will not change the

not indicate that either result is prob

the recent German war loan, So far
as my recollection goes this is the
largest war loan ever offered for sub
scription at any one time in the his
tory of the world. It is for 1885,
100000 marks in exchequer bonds
and 3,071, 100000 marks in imperial
bonds, making a total of 4,389,000,-
900 marks.
This means that by one act, in the
course of few days, Germany sold
an issue of government bonds
amounting to over a billion dollars,
which is about so per cent of the
total debt of the United States. More
over, this is on top of her special war
fund collected when was in Europe
last year, amounting to over a quar-
ter of billion dollars. -s
Perhaps readers can better under
stand how great this amount is when
l say it is two and a half times the
cost of the Panama canal five times
the bonded debt of one of the great
est American railway systems, and
several times the cost of all the rail-
roads in New England. In fact, it
would mean about $50 for every fam
lily of the United States, or about
500 apiece for every family in Ger
many. .
1t is no wonder that English and
American newspapers prophesied
that the loan would be great fail
ure and then after it was officially
announced to be success, insisted
that the people were compelled to
subscribe to it at the point of the
bayonet. The long and short of the
matter is that we hoped the loan
would be a failure, but the fact is
that it has been a success and has
been largely subscribed from sheer
patriotism.
Probably some of the large banks
and industrial concerns, which have
