While the people are coming to view with favor proposals that the ''nited States equip itself with the means of self-defense more thor oughly than ever before, the na- tions financial condition Is of spec ial interests, and citizens will wish to know whether the country can afford the big ser army and navy which pru- dence recommends.
 Accc ~ding to reporr Of the secre- Uary of the treasury, the interest tearing debt of the United States January q was $969,759,O9O. the non-inte. .est-bearing debt (mostly 'greenbacks") above reserve funds was $145.627,3O4, the total net in debtedness was $1,115.SS6,394 and the annual interest charge was $22,9OO,O0O.
 According to data compiled by Harvey Fisk & Sons, of New York, the highest point ever reached by the national debt was at the close If the Civil war in 1865. when it was $2,T56,431.571 and the annual interest charge was S150,977,697. Then the debt per capita was S76.9S; now it is S10.45. AS against this $1O.45 in the United States, before the present war be gan, enormously increasing the debt burdens of the countries involved, Germany had a per capita debt of SlTS1, Russia S27.02. Great Britain S7635, and France $16O.25.
 Thus the American debt is now much less than one-half its former amount: as to interest expense and population it is now about one seventh as onerous as it has been known to be. It is vastly less burdensomo to each American citi- zen than were the debts of France, Great Britain, Russia and Germany 10 each individual even before keeping down the national debt ceased to be a vital consideration r-C%-
