Financial Situation in
Europe Favors Allies

ANA industries. the most productive part
of the empire has been ravaged SO severe
~ by the operations OF tho c~ontending
armies that extraordinary taxation at the
present time promises nc advantages COM
mensurate with the h%ardships it would inn
pose. In France the same state of affairs
prevailed during the early part of the
year, but in recent months the rehabilita-
ton of the Industries and the open door
maintained by the allied navies has re-
stored prosperity to a point at which rath-
er severe taxation can be withstood.
The central powers alone remain on an
inflated paper basis for which no relief
save absolute victory can be imagined. In
fact 1t was on the assumption that the
Austro-Gernan armies would walk over
Europe rough-shod in a few months that
the entire Teutnntc financial structure was
reared.
Germany on a "Greenback" Basis.
The German government does not dare
impose any extraordinary taxation upon
German industry for The excellent reason
that German Industry is producing moth

kept pace so faithfully with the imitation
of the currency. that any attempt to con-
tiscate part of the currency necessarily
would reveal to the deluded German pa
triot exactly the level at which his pro-
ductivity actually stands. Now this state

George III when he barely escaped a simi-

kings since the days of Queen Anne who

he personally commanded his army, and
in the JOY of battle insisted on riding In
front of his army under fire to encourage
the troops. The cheers Of the men and the
roar of the French artillery frightened his
steed, which suddenly wheeled and headed
for the French lines at a wild gallop. For
q moment the kings staff stood aghast at
the prospect of their monarch being killed
or captured by the enemy, but. happily,
in the line OF the kings wild charger there
happened to be a British cavalry detach-

his neck, caught the horse and saved the
king. The latter, according to the stories
of the day., was d~ispleased rather than
otherwise that some one else had stopped
the horse. which he thought. as q good
rider. he should have controlled.

from Commerce dIA iIldtiC0.
Among the warning nations. England
alone is making any effort to pay its bills
as they are incurred. Despite the enor-
nous profits OF the banks, hrewcries,
munition factories, engineering enterprises
and the merchant marine. relatively few
individuals outside the laboring classes
are able to live up to their former STAN
dards of comfort. The new taxes already
confiScate more than II molety OF the ma
tional income for the government. A man

If the economy which this sort of taxa
ton is enforcing can be carried out 10
such an extent that it affects the entire
income of the British Isles. 1T should yield

Gel one of the big war loans, and thus
reduce the floating debt by one-thtrd at
the end OF the year. AT this rate Eng

Enaland's Straight Financing.
Without straightforward financing of
this kind England never could have kept
her currency anywhere near intact: nor
could she have maintained the specie
payments which make exchange possible
and enable her to secure supplies for her
self and her allies in the markets of the
world. Tt would have been impossible for
England to do this alone. On the one
hand assistance came in the form OF cred
It and supplies from the outlying limits of
the British empire. On the other hand 1t
came in the form of gold from France.
h result is that British credit is good
today in all the market of the world.
France and Russia are one step removed
from this state OF financial soundness.
They have suspended their bank acts and
undertaken to conduct the war by making
payments in convertible paper. In Russia

Six-Legged Specimen Causes
That SIouthfuI Feeling Dur
ing Summer.
BY victor Elliott.

WASHINGTON. Aug. Il - The
harvest disease which heretofore
had Ieer attributed 10 errors of diet,
over-exertion or poisoning, has been
traced 10 a minute, six-legged insect.
This bit of "sleuthins' performed
by the United states public health SER
vice. iS explained in one of its inter-
esting bulletins just published.
The disease is described as OF ire
quent occurrence. seldom recognized
and widely disseminated.
The troublesome little insect which
we c:.n now blame for much of our
misery is Nariously known as the Jig
GER -'chigger, or harvest mite.
The harvest mite belongs TO family
notorious 1or the misbenavior OF ITS
members. The itch mite Is leading
member which long has afflicted the
human race.
The adult Jisger is harmless, &C
cording TO the public health bulletin.
IL apparently loves the freedom or the
woods and open fields, utterly ignoring
all human intruders.
The young. however, which are
Matched in July and August, display
considerable regard for human society
willingly fOrSaking their natural nap
man.
When they find Judgement upon the
skin they at once begin 10 penetrate
the outer layers by burrowing. AT
this stage the trouble starts.
The irritation, at first mild, becomes
intense as the burTowing proceeds and
is accompanied by redness, swelling
and Inflammation Frequently the
eruption reSem bles that of hives or
even eczema and the itching is so Sc
yre that LESSONS due TO violent
scratching ensue.
The burowing prOcliviues of the
mite is ineXpiicable and apparently
without reason to the public health
service, as the mite invariably perish
within a few DAYS after beginning their
nefariouS work.
Early treatment of jigger rash or
trombidiOsis. as il is known TO scient-
lists. is recommended. Several rene
dies are suggested. including sterilized
needles. for plucking the intruder out
counter irritant and bathing directly
after exposure
The best treatment is, however,
says the report, the avoidance of the
haunts of the tOrmentors"
