How Long Can England Hold Out?

ness, so secure from foreign encroach-
ment did he feel, that, alone of all the
nations, he made his own ports open to
the worlds competition. @Come here and
beat me at my own game!'-such was
his standing invitation to mankind. With
twenty million tons of shipping, he was
the worlds carrier-Germany making o
poor second with five millions. With all
the world paying him commissions, he
was the worlds banker. And, contrary
to general belief, taxation in England was
light-lighter than in any country except
our own. England did not tax neces-
saries, but luxuries. Her ingenious in
vention, the tax on incomes, naturally
hit only those who had incomes to be
taxed.
The CONSERVATION of the German Cham
cellor when he heard, contrary to his cal
culations, that England had entered the
war, is thus easily explained. He did not
fear, primarily, the English army, nor
even the English navy. What he really
saw, in the distance, was this huge
treasure-house of English wealth-her
49,, 5,OOO,O0O,O0O of capital, an enormous
amount of it liquid, her $4,000, ,OOO,-
600 of foreign investments, her $l2,OOO,-
100000 yearly income, and her $2,OOO,-
100000 yearly savings.
With these figures in mind, few arith-
metical calculations would seem to an
swer the question: How long can Eng
land hold out? If the nation is spending
$4,000, ,OO0, 900 year, and its total wealth
is SS5 100000 900, she could, apparently,
go on for ten years. Her foreign invest
ments alone would pay the expenses of the
war for nearly three years. Sober-minded
Englishmen, however, do not figure the
problem this way. The sale of foreign
investments to pay the cost of war
would simply mean that England was con-
suming her capital. The attempt to cash
in on other even less tangible assets would
signify the same thing. Necessity may
compel sacrifices of this kind; the day
may come when England may pledge her
foreign investments in New York as Sc
curity for American loans. Until that
time of necessity arrives, however, there
are other more available resources. For
the present she must depend upon her
earnings-the products of her factories,
shipping, and general trade and, in ad-
dition, the interest upon her foreign in
vestments. These several items aggre-
gate about $4,000, 100000 year. This
is great annual fund, representing not
capital but earnings. The expenditure
of this whole sum, or any part of it, would
not mean any encroachment on the accu-
mutations of three centuries.
The Whole Nation Must Save
THE question of financial endurance,
therefore, resolves itself into simple
terms. The present cost Of the war is about
$4,000, 100000 year. England's total
income, out of which this cost can be met
without permanently injuring the nation,
is Sl4,OO0,OOO,OOO. After paying the
piper, therefore, the English people will
have $4,000, 100000 left for their daily
needs. At the rate of expenditure pre-
vailing before the war. the English people
were spending $4,000, 100000 year in
living expenses. War expenses, as already
said, will cut this allowance down to

Petition for Pardon

To His Excellency, Hon. Earl Brewer,
Governor, Jackson, Mississippi:
We. the undersigned citizens of Gre
NADIA county, respectfully petition your
Excellency that you pardon Sam Beck,
convicted at the January term OF the
Circuit Court of this county in the year
1910. We are of the opinion that had
anyone taken any interest in the cause
of this negro that he never would have
been convicted. He submitted his case
to the Court and took a sentence for
m%anslaughter. He killed the other
negro about his tSam's) wife; the kill
ing occurred in Beck's yard and the
other negro was armed at the time.
Had the affair been between white
people We do not believe the courts
would ever have taken cognizance OF
the last at all. Up to this time, the
time of the killing, Beck had been a
good, Woodworking negro and had never
before been in trouble of any kind.
For quite a long while he has been one
of the ''trusties" at Parchman farm,
and as we understand has made a we'll
behaved, obedient prisoner and we be-
lieve the ends of justice would be
served and that you would be rendering
a good service by giving him his liberty
and we most respectfully urge that you
do so. Very respectfully,
