TEST MOBILIZATION
EXCITES CANADIANS

Toronto, Nov. ia test mobiiza-
tion Of the infantry regiments Of the
Toronto garrison was called this after
room, and the promptness with which
the order was obeyed was considered
thoroughly satisfactory. The order
was issued at noon, and in less than
four hours ,432 Of the available $500
men were under arms.
The mobilization order threw the
city into excitement and caused rumor
of imminent German invasion, poison
ing Of the city's water supply and
proclamation Of martial law.

Lost British Company Cuts
Way Through German Column
fBy Gable to The Thbune.l J

Paris. Nov. 16.-P Perhaps the Kaiser
has left the west of Belgium At
least there is a lull in the fighting on
the lower Yser The veil of mystery
again has fallen around the city of
Lille, which was named without any
particulars for the first time in sew
eral weeks in Saturday nights bulle-
tins.
For the rest Of the line the tendency
to a deadlock, which now proves to be
an essential feature of modern war
fare, becomes more and more marked
around Nerdun. Again the German
attacks have completely failed, thanks
not to the strength Of the fortress
itself, but to its mobile defences,
which have been used with admirable
energy and resource.
Much is said, and truly. of the craZi-
ness of German assaults around Dix
nude and Ypres. The alternative,
however. would seem TO be a relative
immobility, which is slowly eXhausting
and ultimately fatal, since the Ger
man commanders cannot forever keep
adequate forces in both the eastern and
western fields. A remarkable incident
was narrated by the correspondent of
LA Liberte" to-day. During the des-
perate fighting to the south of Ypres
November IL British infantry de
tachment of eighty men found itself
isolated and unable TO join its main
body and took refuge for the night
in a wood.
The position seemed hopeless, but
the men rested till dawn, when they
were aroused by a fusillade near at
hand They found that the German
column was being driven toward the
wood by force of the Allies. Hold
ing their fire. they waited till the Ger
mans were near and then charged with
fixed bayonets. The diversion was de-
cisive. Four hundred prisoners were
taken. and the lost "Tommies" re-
ceived doubly warm welcome from
their comrades.

believe that the British battleship
Canopus was quite safe.
There has been some anxiety con-

The correspondent Of a French news
paper, who saw Earl Roberts just be
fore he started for France. writes ia
"The Times" stating that Earl Roberts
told him he intended to speak to Gen
eral French about the too great secrecy
which, to his mind, was kept by the
military authorities at the front and al
home concerning the work and brave
deeds of the British troops. He con
sidered that while military movements
should be kept absolutely secret, the
knowledge of how the British soldiers
were fighting against great odds would
greatly stimulate recruiting in Eng
land.

THE WORLD OWES OVER
AZ BILLION DOLLARS NOW
French Loans the Greatest-lnterest
and Other Annual Charges
s1.732,OOO. 600.


washington.-The national debts OF
the world now aggregate $42,OOO,OOO.-
900, being increased 20 per cent in
the last decade and doubled In the
last 40 years. The interest and other
annual charges amounted in 1912 to
$1,732,O00,O00, or an average Of slight
" more than 4 per cent, though in
many cases, especially those Of the
stronger nations, the interest rates are
materially below that figure, accord
ing to the bureau of foreign and do
nestle commerce.
The largest national debt is that OF
France, 4.00O,000; the next largest
being Russia, $4,553. 100000; the Uni
ted Kingdom, $3,4s6, 100000; Italy,
$2,707, 100000; Spain, $1.S15,OOO,O0O;
British India, STATS, 100000; Japan.
1922, 100000; and the United States,
81, OPS, 100000. The debt of the Ger
man empire is stated at $1,178,O 100000,
and of the German states, $3.50, 0O0,-
600; that of Austria, 81, ABA, 100000, and
of Hungary, $1,26S,000,0OO.
Interest rates, as above indicated,
vary greatly, the stronger nations OBJ
tanning lower rates for their securl-
ties; the average annual rate upon the
indebtedness of the United States
ranging from to 4 per cent; in the
case of the United Kingdom IL to
q ga per cent; Russia, from 3 to b
per cent; Japan, from to . per cent;
the German empire, 8 to per cent;
China, A to 5 per cent; Nicaragua, 3
per cent; Panama, Z per cent; Ecua-
dor, to 10 per cent, and Honduras,
to 10 per cent. These figures of inter
est rates do not, however, fully indi-
cate the actual rates paid, since in a
large proportion of cases the securi-
ties in question were sold by their
respective governments at less than
par, the United States being one OF the
few nations which have declined to
sell their securities at less than their
face value.
The statement of annual revenues
and expenditures Of the seventy
odd countries included In the list
shows total expenditures of $12.3O8,-
900 900 and total revenues OF $12,179.-
100000, the figures relating In all
cases to the latest available year,
chiefly 1912 or the fiscal year 1913.
Their expenditures in 1902 aggregated
$685., 100000 and their revenues ST.
101 ,000, 900, national expenditures hav-
ing thus increased over 30 per cent
during the 10-year period, while ma
tional indebtedness increased about 20
per cent during the same period.
