GERMANY'S FINANCIAL BUR-
DEN

The third German war loan, ISSUED
las week, brought in $3,007 100000.
Two earlier loans, one made IN
Seotcnlber, 1914, and the other in
March, 1915, produced S3,265, OOOOOo,
so tina. the total bonded indebtedness
incurred since the war began is 80
272, 100000. The German imperial debt
prior to the war was 81, l94Ooz,oOo
and that Of the various German states
S. S54,7S9, 000-a total OF Yo,O4S,oll,-
On5. If no further loans are made
before January next, Germany
total debt on that date will be SILL
81 81, O00 against total OF ST., OO0,-
O0C,OOo Tor the United Kingdom.
The increase in debt due to the
war, says the New York Tribune
must weigh more heavily on Germany
than on Great Britain, because the
latter's wealth, commerce and tax
able resources are materially greater.
Gcrmany's foreign trade has been cut
off, her commercial marine is intern
ed and her industry has been GRIP
pleL in many departments by the
practical blockade OF her territory.
TIE impairment of capital through
this blockade will be very consider
able if the war lasts two years long
e., and the loss of income through
il has seriously reduced the tax-pay-
ing capacity of the nation Germany
has not sought so far to meet any OF
tn (. costs Of the war by imposing new
taxes.
That is in itself an acknowledge
ment of weakness. Great Britain
only few days ago imposed new
taxes amounting to $575 ,0OO,Ooo a
year, thus showing an ability to take
ample care OF the new debt created
by providing sinking fund for its
redemption, as well as Willingness
to finance the war TO considerable
extent on pay-as-you-go basis.
Germany hesitates about subjecting
her taxpayers to so harsh test.
She is financing the war on bonds
issued to them and probably gambl-
ing on war indemnities as substi-
tutes for sinking funds.
Great Britain carries on commerce
as usual with the rest OF the world
and has maintained her credit in for
eign markets. Germany doesn't need
to keep up such credit, because
foreign markets are closed to her.
She can use up the resources OF her
own people and still preserve the
semblance of financial solidity. But
when the end comes and the block
ade embargo is raised the strain on
Germany credit will be all the more
dangerous, because artificially defer
red With debt of $20,000,0 100000 to
SIS, 900, 100000 and an economic
structure to rebuilt from the bottom,
Germany will be in a far more criti-
cal condition financially than will
Great Britain, France or even Russia,
inasmuch as the latter powers have
maintained commercial relations with
the neutral world and have lived dur
ing the war on much more normal
economic basis

ANIMALS IN ''ZOO"
 IN PARIS LONELY
 SINCE WAR BEGAN

Paris, March 12.-Stray dogs con tinue to be a. sort of by-product of the war in Paris. Besides the animals Intentionally abandoned, there are on the average about fifteez a day talk en to the pound by their owners who are unable to feed them and who pre- fer to have their pets asphyxiated rather than turn them loose to their fate.
 The animals of the Geological sec ton of the Hardin des Plantes were never so neglected by the public, and for the first time in his interesting career, the pet bear Martin who once required his favorite rabbits foot before he could be enticed from his den, is now glad to climb out of his pit and on to the edge of the railing for anything that is eatabIe. The director of the Geological section has found it necessary to increase the rations} of all his boarders by reason of this abandonment.
 The sparrows that were formerly fed in fhe squares and public gardens by the sewing girls from the dress makers establishments, from the rem nants of their midday lunch, are thin and woe-begone. The large flock of pigeons of the Square de Ia Trinite, which was formerly fed by thoughtful visitors, has been dispersed almost entirely in the search for better feed ing places. Some of them have foun q their way to the Jardin des Tuileries where they share with the pigeons of that quarter the protection of the vet eran letter-carrier, Monsieur Pol, one of the features of Paris familiar to every visitor. Monsieur PoRs feath- cred friends have nothing to complain l of excepting that they have been ob- iged to learn new roles imposed by the state of war. The exercises for which he trained them, have all been given a military Character The nres- lent favorite of the flock is a dignified bird who responds with the stately gravity to the name of General French. The flying corps is very i large and responds readily to the or der s'In the air.

FLOWERS THAT WILL "MAKE
 GOOD" IN YOUR GARDEN
A Few Suggestions On the Ageratum, Nasturtium
 California Poppy, Zinnia.

Washington, March 12.-Many peo- pie at this season of the year are com sidering what flowertng plants they shall put in their gardens. The aver age housewife, who has not much time to spare in the matter, the child who is just becoming interested in growing plants. and the teacher who is laying out a school garden for the benefit of her pupils will undoubted- 1y welcome some simple suggestions along this line. The United States Department of AgricuIture's special ist particularly recommends as satis- factory and easy-groWn flowers, the ageratum, the nasturtium, the petu- mia. the California poppy, and the zinnia. Here are a few pointers on each of them:
 AgeratuIn.-The ageratum is one of the few blue flowers we have In it's form it somewhat resembles the he1iotrope but has no odor. Agera- turns grow well upon almost all soils and through a wide range of climate. For that reason many combinations with them are possible. The plants are neat, bushy, and erect, and pro- duce a profusion of bush-lilxe flowers throughout the season. The dwarf blue sorts make fine borders and are much used where contrasting color effects are desired. For early bloom the seed should be sown in cold frames or in boxes in the house early in the season tNarch9, but for sum mer and fall bloom the seeds may be sown in April or early in May in we'll prepared beds in the open. Seeds sown in August will produce good plants for winter Towering.
 . Nasturtium.-The large seeds of the nasturtium require to be planted much deeper than the fine seeds of the petunia. Sow them in rows where the plants are to grow, placing the seeds about six inches apart in the row and cover them about an inch deep. When all plants are up, thin so that they stand foot apart if the soil is rich; if rather thins it will be as well to allow them to stand at the planting distance The plants should be given clean cultivation to induce rapid growth. If planted in the open at the same time that beans are planted, very satisfactory results will follow. For earlier bloom plant in advance of this date in hotbeds, cold
 frames or window boxes
 Petunia.-While the petunia grows readily and rapidly from seeds soWn l in the open about corn-p1anting time Iearlier bloom can be secured by sow i ing the seed in window boxes or hot
 beds and transplanting the plants once before placing them in the open

Practical Prescription
 Against Stomach Aciditv

Nine-tenths of all cases of stomach trouble nowadays are caused by too much acid- In the beginning the stomach itself is not diseased but if this acid condition is allowed to con- tinue, the acid is very likely to eat into the stomach walls and produce stomach ulcers which may render a radical surgical operation necessary even to prolong- life. Therefore, an fsacid stomach" is really a dangerous condition and should be treated serl- ousIy. It is utterly useless to take pepsin and ordinary stomach tablets. The excess acid or stomach hyper acidity must be neutra1ized by the ad- minfstration of an efficient antaeid. For this purpose the best remedy is bisurated magnesia taken in tea spoonful doses in a fourth of a glass of water after each meal. Larger quantities may be used if necessary as it is absolutely harmless. Be sure to ask your druggist for the bisurated magnesia as other forms of magnesia make effective mouth washes but they have not the same action on the stomach as the bisurated.

Officers Get Iron Cross
 By Most Daring Raid

Hamburg, March i2@The story of how promotion and decoration with the Iron Cross came to two non conmissi oned officers and a private of Rhenish regiment is told in a letter from aHamburg captain of their company.
 The French forces in the trenches opposite hoisted the tri-color, much to the ahger Of the Germans, and the three decided to risk their, lives to tear it down. Under cover of night they craWIed under the barbed-wire *enta nglements, and notwithstanding dogs and sentries captured the flag, took it to the German. trench, and next morning erected it where the French could see it.

SQUAD, SURPRISED IN WOODS, RETAINS
 PRISONERS TAKEN

Berlin, March 12.-Ae soldiers let ter from the Eastern front describes an effort of a patrol1ing party to dis cover whethere there were any Rus sians in a forest in front of the Ger man position. With fixed bayonets a handful of men crept at night through the woodland. thrustings the steel into every thick bush, ,+or throwing a flare of light into them from their pocket lamps.
 They found no game and were emerging from the forest at the point where they had entered it, when they suddenly saw a, Russian sentinel be- fore them in heavy fur-coat and cap He was half asleep. Taking up the narrative here, the letter reads:
 ssF' seized the Russian by the lapel of his coat and swore at him in Polish, Russian and German. Hands up', We demanded, and he did it. One of us watched over him while others made an examination of the surround ings- We found, a cave, such as we build for our centries. We jabbed our bay9nets into the straw around the entrance. A snon-com, after remov- ing the rifles which the unsuspecting g Russians had stacked near the en- trance threw a light into the cave and swore frightful1y. Out of the of the 162nd Russian slandwehr, Tar tars, Mohammeddans, and men from Kasan. At the point of our bayopets they dropped to their knees.
 s'But suddenly we discovered we were being fired upon, by another group of Russians nearby, whose pres ence we had not suspected. Driving our prisoners before us, we started out of the woods to cross an open meadow back to our lines. There was a whizzing of bullets about our ears There could be no thought of trying to defend ourselves. Only six of our prisoners could we keep with us1 When we finally reached our lines. we discovered from the men we had taken that the place we had tack led was not sentry post. as we had thought, but a protected position with trenches and 1oopholes; and there were thirty Russians against us five with two other Russian trenches close by. It was a lucky escape for us to have discharged our task and got away with our prisoners. We did hot fire one shot Our captain gave us five dollars. send my one herewith to our little War daughter, because it was earned without bIoodshed.ts

For localities north of New York the most satisfactory method Of handling
 these plants will be to start the seeds In the window boxes about April l.
 and to transfer the young plants to
 the open when the weather permits about the middle of May. The seeds are very small and should not
 be covered with earth in the ordi- nary way. They should be sown on
 the surface and brought in contact with the earth by firming it with a
 board.
 California poppy (E1schschlotzia) .-- The eschschIotzia is an annual Of striking character both as regards which are bright and rich in their tints of yellow and orange. The plants average about a foot in height,
 have attractive silvery foliage, and
 produce their foli4ge poppy-lilSsl flowers quite lavis71ly from earivl spring until frost. The seeds or
 eschscholtzia may be sown in win-
 dow boxes or in hotoed in March,
 or in the open where the plants are
 to bloom as soon as the soil is in ft3 latitude of New York. In latitude south of New York the seeds may be sown in the autumn for early bloom. The plants enjoy a rich 1oam and
 should be allowed about or inches
 of space in the row. When used in
  Zinnia.-The zinnia is easily grown from seed sown in the open ground. When sown in April the plants will bloom abundantly and continuously
 through the entire season. During the month of August zinnias are at their best. To secure large flowers
 and a profusfon of bloom the plants
 must be given ample room for full development. as we'll as an abundant 1 supply of food. Strong, rich soils suit the zinnia. If the seeds are sowu in a dwelling house or in hotbed in March and the young plants are pricked out once or twice before be- ing placed in their permanent situa- tions, more satisfactory results will be secured than from outdoor-sown seeds unless equal care in thinning or transpIanting is given. In addition to their use in the school garden, zin- nias can be used for groups beds,
 borders, garden lines. and summer
 hedges Their average height is t1-z feet. The zinnia is a rather large
 formal flower whose colors range through the shades of red and vel 1 low. Their season of bloom is l through the late summer and autumn l and the individual bloom lasts for a
 Hong time both on the plant and as cut flowers.

FRENCH "75" GUN MARVEL OF WAR,
 OFFICER ASSERTS
Rapidity of Firing and Re- sistance To Deterioration
 Are Big Features

Bou1ogne, France, March 12 = A French artillery officer, who has been at the front from the beginning g of the war; has sent to, the news gun, which he regards as the most successful all-round piece of artillery in use by any army
 tsThe feature in which the gun, has most conspicuous1y established it's superiority he writes, efs in the ra- pfdity of its fire. This is to some extent depends upon the division of labor among the gunners, but even more upon the mechanical properties of the gun. The desig gner has so ar ranged 1t that no matter how the weapon is pointed, the force of recoil the beche or. anchor. In the Ger man gun, the force is directed not at the point of the beche, but at a point to right or left of it, with the result that the gun tends to be slowed around and has to be continually aim ed afresh.
 A great virtue of the French .s75'. is the extent to which it resists de- terioration. If you examine a French shell that has been fired at the end of the past six months of hard fight inf, you will find evidence that the guns rifling is almost as good and ef- ficient at the beginning of the war. This comes as a surprise to many people who have heard of the rapidity with which naval guns de- teriorate, but the conditions are. of course, different, as the veIocities needed in naval work make an enor- mously greater demand upon the na- val gun.
 "A great deal has been written about the deadliness of the French shell fire and the relative inefficiency of that of the Germans. Assuming that the shells of both guns explode, the French shell will have the advantage for the following reason. The Ger man shell hits the ground and digs a hole. By the nature of things-as the fra gments of shell must fly, roughly straight-nothing will be hit that is below Q line extended out in diagonal direction from the sides of the hole dug by the shell. In other words, ii is possible to be lying on the ground quite close to the spot where a shell has burst and to be- untouched A horse has to be a yard or so farther away but even he soon gets@out of the zone of fire.
 With the French shell it Is diff ferent. The French shell is construct ed to richochet; it strikes the ground and bounces,T only exploding when fl is in the air as the result of the bounce. The explosion occurs when the shell Is off the ground, and there Is no hole surface to protect pos. +sibIe victim.
 tOur experience in the present war seems to show also that the French
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-03-12

shrapnel bullet is more efficient. than the German The bullets of tue 75. shrapnel shell weigh il grams (s1ignt- ly less than half an ounce), whereas tthe similar German bullet weighs only nine grams. Experience seems to show that a bullet of at least eleven grams is necessary to stop a man ad- vancing The effect of the bullet is of course enormously increased by the high velocity of the French shell. Bullets of our 75 shrapne1 strike at a velocity of 90 meters a second. |4whereas those of the corresponding Herman gun travel at sixty meters The energy of the two bullets Is in fact math ernaticaIly about to 1 in favor of the French.
 From one general point of view. the German artillery has long stood Iacondemned in our eyes. Tn Germany there has been for years divorce between the artiIleryn1en and the men who make the guns. Every improve
 ment with the Germans has had to
 originate from Krupps, and there has thus been a disastrous hiatus between theory and practice. With us it is
 different. Our artillery has made it's own gun. We have accepted i'm provements from every quarter, and
 have paid our men not in cash re- ward but by promotion or recogni- ton"
