contemplated, system Of finance has
been resorted th that stamps out the
last trace Of industry and commerce.
The moratorium exending indefinitely
the time to compel the payment Of
debts, has had the effect that no one
pays and that credit is utterly extinct.
The French banks which at the beginn-
ing of the war were only permitted to
pay out part OF the interest on time
deposits and no part of the deposits,
have of late been permitted TO pay out
twenty-five percent Of the deposits, but
no one can get more than ten percent.
1t needs no proof that such financing
has killed all possibility for the popu-
lation to gain livelihood. Hence, 1t
appears that France will no more be
able to keep up long war than Russia.
But what is Germanys position to
carry on long war7 One answer and
that of great Importance is supplied by
correspondents who are not favorable to
Germany andd by business men who
have just returned from various cities
in the German Empire where their busi-
ness interests called them. They report
unanimously that the activity in Ger
man industry and commerce in the
midst Of the greatest war that has ever
been waged In the history OF mankind
is simply astounding. While the plants
that worked for the export trade have
perceptibly slaekened, operations In
other industries are almost normal and
in factories that work for, or are oper-
ated. by the Government night shifts
have to be employed. From the number
of working men engaged in their usual
daily occupations, il is inferred that no
more than twenty-five percent OF the
population capable Of military duty
have been called out, and 1t Is stated
that credit owing to the circumspect
measures OF the Government Is abun-
dant and that the daily routine has
scarcely been disturbed by the war.
This makes it evident that the German
Government has made full preparations
to thwart the designs of her enemies to
wear out her fighting and her economic
powers. She has a greater reservoir OF
trained men to draw on and her ceono-
mic strength ia match to that OF all
her Allies put together. We no not,
however, expect an endless war. The
German army Is, by the capture OF Dix
nude, in fair way to break through
the French lines and to flank their
strongly fortified positions in the noun
tains. When this is accomplished, and
all Indications point to an early consnm
nation, the rest will be comparatively
easy sailing.

A long War.

The British Premier, Mr.. Asquith. says
in his speech in the House Of Commons
| that he doubted whether the war would
last as long as some predicted, but that
it would last long was certain. However
the longer it lasts, he continues, the more
the great resources and strength the
empire possesses will be available 10 fiji
the gaps, to replace the losses and to
maintain our position.
A long war Las been the slogan Of the
Allies since the day, when the Germans
stood before the gates Of Paris. They
conceived that the French army would
not be able to stand up against the
Germans and that the only hope to
overcome their enemy rested on wearing
him out, in which process Englands
wealth and as many soldiers as she
could raise and Russias large reserve Of
able bodied men should turn the scales
in favor of the Allies. Hope that
springs eternal in the human breast is
doomed to disappointment in this in
stance, because il is based on an over
estimate of the strength OF the Allies
and an underestimate of the strength
of the Germans. England's supply Of gold
is sufficient TO maintain her share Of
the expense but it is subject to great
inroads from the necessity to extend
large assistance to her Allies. Russia
was always poor country financially.
The preparations for the war were fin
anced by France that has, besides, in
the last five years made investments in
the land OF the Gar TO the extent OF
five billions Of dollars. II is not conceiv-
able that Russia has laid up treas
ures during the war, particularly since
by the closing OF the Dardanelles and
the Baltic Sea, she cannot export q
bushel OF her wheat and rye, her main
source for obtaining cash. II can
therefore he Sc. down for positive fact
that she will have to draw on English
funds or quit the war. The conditions
in France are Just as unfavorable. The
five billions she has invested in Russia
are for long time to come absolutely
unavailable, Tor ii stands TO reason
that she does not get a cent Of interest
on her loans in Russia. Hence England
will also be called on for assistance and
it is open to proof that this assistance
will be required to an extent which
England will find herself unable to
grant. This is owing to the necessity
to put every Frenehmen able to carry
gun into the field, with the result that
most OF the factories are idle from
lack Of men 70 keep them in operation,
and through the desire Of the Govern
ment to keep up the supply OF gold to
make It last for the long war that Ia
