GERMAN FINANCES
MEET BIG STRAIN
Issue of Capital for New En-.
terprises Not Largely Cur
tailed by War-GoId
Reserve Growing.

Washington. Sept. 23.-Economit.
conditions in Germany. after one year
of war. are described in a report COM
piled by the American Association of
Trade and Commerce, in Berlin, and
received today at the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce. 1t says the
financial record has shown the re-
suits of rigid organization and dis
cipline" and draws particular attention
to the fact that Germany has raised
$2,2o0, 900, 900 i'll war loans and the i'm
perta1 refchbank has accumulated a
gold reserve OF $60,0O000o
"The change of the entire economic
activity from it's peace conformation
to one year of war; says the report,
has with the aid of the rechbanll
taken place rapidly and thoroughly.
The establishment of the official loan
banks and credit institutions has pro-
vided credit accommodation in abund-
ant measure.
1T is signigicant that i'll the past
year, when Germany was not only in
n military. but also in an economic
sense, confronted with superiority Of
hostile forces. the issue of industrial
securities did not come to stop.
Besides the official new corporations
organized as purely war measures
quite a number of new corporations
having no war connection, have been
established Many existing concerns
have increased their capital stock.
From the outbreak of the war, up
to August 1, 1915, altogether s125,OO0,-
900 have been invested in new and ex-
listing Industrial undertakings. as
against new issues of $3.50, 100000 in
1913. During the month of July, 1915,
$10,000.000 were invested in industrial
undertakings.
This result is overshadowed by the
amounts reached in the subscription
for the war loans after seven weeks
of .9ar $1,250O00OO0 We're paid in, and
after nine war months S2,250, ,OO0, 900
had been paid. The enlarged field on
the reichbank activity was followed by
q heaNhy strength of gold cover, and
at the end Of the war year, the gold
cover reached s6O0,OOO.O0O, as agains.
$312,000000 on July 81, 1914"

have chickens to build their roosts so
near the top of the coop, that roosters
won't have any room for raising their
heads and voices.

Paris, Sept 23.-General Joffre the
French commander -in-chief, and the
allied commanders on this front-Field
Marshals Sir John French and King
Albert of Belgium-are developing q
new plan of campaign that involves the
almost continuous use of artillery on
vast scale along the whole line.

The heavy calibered guns send their
first reserve behind the lines and upon
bridge and provision trains.
Forced to Give Up.
Official reports obtained by the
French army officers from their own
observers, from prisoners and from
photographs made by aviators show
that parts of the opposing lines which
have been subjected to this unceaSlNg
bombardment have been rendered en-
tirely untenable. and that the best the
Germans can do is to reoccupy their
abandoned works after the lombard
ments have let up and then leave
quickly when the showers of projec-
tiles begin to fall again.

That women have not more value

The Worth of Woman's Work

'This world is so full of a number of
things
That we all should be happy as kings"
Stevenson.
1t behooves us all to find out the
shortest cuts to the ends of our tasks
and the best ways of doing our work
for every day sees new interests and
new demands. Then, too, there is the
ever-increasing trend upwards of foods
and other necessities, so it is important
to utilize all we have in as many ways
as are profitable
In homes where there are small chill
dren the question of securing good
values in everything that is purchased
becomes especially deserving of
thought, for children have a habit of
growing up and out of things in an
astonishing way, then the next little
sister, or little brother can be fitted
out like new, with small expense.
This making over, cutting down and
fitting things to the next youngster in
size, is a wonderful example of woman's
economic value to the family. How lit
tie we hear of the planning it takes to
make one outfit do duty twice And,
though pleasant thing to make the
family comfortable and attractive, this
is not easy work
Men do not say so but it is under
stood that woman's work is not of direct
productive value, in their opinion. The
drudgery of her hands and head is con
sidered of little worth. The story of
the little boy who was asked about the
family's income and replied, "Pa gets
ten dollars a week working on the street
car, Sister clerks for six dollars and |
sell papers and get fifty cents a week.
Mother just works for us all and she
don't get nothing" comes to mind.
The planning, saving and skimping
Of women swells saved pennies to mil
lions of dollars yearly, This is often
