trust magrate, should stand by to help. Here lies
Americas opportunity TO show the world that
patriotism and peace not antagonlstic.
But to illustrate how every man and woman
with few dollars laid by come to the coun-
trys aid in this approaching crisis, let US turn
20 the lessons which France has to teach in this
as in so many other directions. Every who
has read history knows how the French people
surprised the world with the CELEBRITY and ease
with which they paid the vast indemnity eXacted
hv Prussia at the close of the Franco Prussian
War The world realized for the first time then
what thrift when ractised by an entire popu-
lation really meant Offset to misfortune,
as insurance against national calamity. Pretty
nearly every clerk, every small merchant, every
peasant proprietor, dug in his little bank bal
ancc to help send the hated Prussians beyond the
border accomplishing by this means the patriotic
object which The soldiers of France had failed to
accomplish with the sacrifice OF their lives. And,
moreover. their patriotism proved immensely
rfoftabe to them in dollars and cents, francs
and confines rather. for the French government
bonds or rcntes which they subscribed to for the
purpose appreciated sharply in value, sharply
tha, a decade later they reduced from D
TO Is. AMI a decade later sill to 3'2s.
The Prussians were undoubtedly bought of tho
more easily because Of the French system OF
Lynking and Investment. There few large banks
with headquarters in Paris and branches through
out the and control the savings Of pretty nearly
