Mr.. Maxim also calls attention to the
fact that the payment of so large an
amount to Germany, If Germany is the
country from which Belgium is to be
bought, would enable the Kaiser to

Surely some one has added a cipher

war was about $4,000, 900, 900. Ger
tainly 1t could not have exceeded
$40, 900. 900, 900. Even the total wealth
of the United States is estimated at
only $3.50, 0,000,000,00 If we put it at
$3.50, 1000, 600, 900, Mr.. Wanamaker pro-
posed to pay for Belgium price equal
