WELL KNOWN ENGLISH FINANCIER
 EWES OPINION ON EUROPEAN WAR

that whereas, before the war q soldier was a comparatively rare sight. now men in khaki are seen by the thousand, and that the London streets are darkened at night because of the threatened Zeppelin raid, and except that you sec everywhere in London and the provinces, patches of Belgium re- fugees being conducted to the varl- ous eenters formed to receive and take care of them. These poor Belgians are Q sight that would melt the hardest of hearts-au showing signs of the terrible sur fering they have undergone, and all with the same hopeless expres- sion indicative Of what is in their minds, that all that is dear to them in hfe is lost, that their be- loved fertile Belgium has been raY- aged from end to end, their cities and homes destroyed-their saw ings gone and their relatives and friends by the thousands, massacr- ed or killed in unequal battle. Not a smile amongst them, and they pa tiently go where they are led ana do what they are told without QueS- ton.
 The heart of England has gone out to these people There is A sort of feeling amongst Us that but for the "silver streak, and our strong navy, our own fair England would perhaps have been gong through all the horrors that poor Belgium has undergone, and which she might have perhaps avoided only at the price of her honor and independence. We feel, moreover that 1t is not somhow quite fair that while both nations are fighting the common enemy, one nation should have to bear the burden so much the more heavily than the other. All that we can do to mltI7 gate the suffering of the population Of this outraged and stricken na- ton is beind done; but we cannot do everything. We can :ake care oL those who come to our shores and seek refuge, but we can do little for those who, unable to get away, are starving in their own country under the domination or their and our common enemy. There fore, we all rejoice to learn that the plight Of this brave buy unfoT- tunate people has touched the hearts of the American people, ana that relief is being organized for them in all parts of this country and Ii is needed immediately. EX- cept. therefore, for the events have described, and that ot course the war Is freely discussed amongst us, we are living as far

German Junker class. For while German trade, and German manu- facture and German shipping has grown to such vast proportions, this growth is not altogether on sol i'd foundation. It has been the custom of German banks and fin ancial institutions to subscribe mon- ey towards enterprises of all sorts, in all parts of the world, often of a speculative nature. and the fail ure of any of these enterprises weakens the condition of these banks and institutions, and all en- terprises cannot always be success full. FuTther, we all know how heavily subsidized by the govern ment is the German mercantile ma rine, and how heavily the subsidies pressed on the Imperial treasury We also know that the German gov ernment, shortly before the war broke out, was in such reeed of money to pay for the increased ar maments 1t had ordered as result of the Balkan wars (whereby her army was increased in the propor- tion of 8 to 5), that the govern ment imposed a direct tax on capi- tai, which was calculated to bring in S25O, 100000. We ars told that this tax was not altogether successful. All other sources of taxation had long been imposed and there were no new sources of rev enue. In fact, Germany had reach- ed the zenith of her taxable pow CTS. It was plain she could not go on sustaining her enormous army and her powerful fleet and subsiding her mercantile marine and bolstering up unsuccessful colonies without becoming bankrupt More over, there has been for some years a period of great depression in her trade and manufacturers and the price of food is rising rapidly This is the time that democracy comes into it's own and the socialist vote, at the last election, showed an alarming increase. Something had to be done, and, on the principle of "when in doubt play trumps," so do nations, when unable to pay any longer for their excessive arma- ment, when in doubt play war and wage 1t on some usually inoffensive neighbor, and thus was it that Ger many made for war.
 I have heard it said in well in- formed circles in England, that Germany chose this year to make war for three reasons:
 First: That Russia had worked out a new mobilization scheme which was to come into force next year, and which involved the mobili- zatiou of much more powerful ar n.y. on the Yistula ready at short notice for war. Secondly: That France had the secret Of a new au- tomatic rifle that would stand the
