increases the cost OF the war In
terms of debt.
Lack Of Supplies the Real Test
In Germany, whose inconvertible
paper has deprecated (according to
the price OF exchange about Is per
cent?. the government receives this
paper In payment of loans. BY
granting loans through new credit
institutions practically to all who
need funds to pay debts and by pro-
vidlng the former with this depre-
ciated paper they avoid the neces-
sity Of moratorium. since they buy
little from foreign countries. For
purchases from Holland. Denmark,
Switzerland, Norway and Sweden
they are probably forced to send
more or less gold II German goods
cannot be sent. Thus, even though
the paper Is deprecated. the exter-
nal forms of payment go on. and In
the sense OF providing q means OF
payment there Is no lack Of money"
nor what would be called financial
exhaustion Any significant ex'
haustion must be economic, that Is,
in the actual production and supply
of goods and war supplies.
In short. with resources inferior
to those OF the allies, the govern
ment OF Germany Is technically SOL
vent as long as she pays even In
deprecated money; but. while thus
technically solvent as government.
she may be gradually becoming eco
nomically exhausted as people.
On the other hand, a country like
Russia. with large potential re-
sources, may. as a government, py
inadequate organization, be imam
clally insolvent, because her re-
sources cannot be turned into salts

course, II could not by taxation be-
gin to cover it's enormous war ex'
penditures, and its credit abroad is
not what it might be In view OF its
vast resources. Hence II has DIM

ctases, and has been aided by Eng
lish credit. But It's financial ineffi.
cheney will not stop its fighting. II
will remain a question OF goods and

itely large.
As to France
In regard to France, although II

even though it Is being strained

with gold and that country has aid
ed France with credit. Thus, finan
cially speaking. France will not be
estopped from fighting. So long az
she has credit she can obtain sup

In the case of Great Britain, with
large resources in all parts OF the
world, with open ports, she will not
lack supplies to any amount. Her
purchasing power Is not now sup
ported by the usual export Of goods,
but her credit is very great. Thus
she has been able to provide for an
indefinite quantity OF goods both for
herself and her allies from abroad.
Her organization of credit has not
been strained TO any serious extent,
ror has she yet resorted to incon-

AMOUNT OF INDEMNITY
IS YET TO BE FIXED

Washington. Sept aS.--W eli-in
formed persons said today that when
the negotiations between Secretary OF
State Lansing and Count Won Bern
storff, the German ambassador. are re-
sumed the only question of Importance
will be the determination of the basis
of indemnities to be paid by Germany
to the families OF the victims of the
disaster. These officials said that the
diplomatic ends OF the negotiations had
torpedoing OF the French ship Sussex
They said that Mt that time the State
Department was about to make an an
nouncement that there had been an
agreement as TO the terms on which
dent.
For some unexplained reason the
Secretary of State has not yet seen
fit to make public that agreement.
Officials familiar with the present
status say that the basis of indemnity
for lives lost on the Lusitania Will be
in one of two forms. A lump sum for
each victim or a sum to be awarded
to each claimant to be based on earn
ing capacity.
Many claims have been filed. Sew
eral prospective claimants for large
indemnities have not yet submitted
their papers to the State Department
The claims actually fled range all the
way from $1,000 to 100000. The
latter sum Is the largest yet demand
ed. There are several for $4,000, but
most of them are from $1,000 up to
$4,000 each

teemed by even the epicures among

abundance turkeys were regarded

Choose Thankfulness,

Thankfulnes is not the inevitable
result of certain conditions, but a
matter of deliberate choice. 1t is a
mistake to tell ourselves that we
should be thankful If we possessed
this or that, for possession has little
or nothing to do with thankfulness.
BE thankful. DO not waste any
time arguing whether or not you
have any reason for It. Lift your
heart TO the Father of us all in rev.
erent gratitude. and in the mere act
Of thanlifulness you will realize your
blessings as never before.

Force
May Go To Border
Army officials of Opinion That Line
of Communication lis Dan
gerOus.

Washington. Nov. 19.-Army Off
Gals believe that the American ex-
peditionary force soon will be NOV
ing toward the border, regardless of
the turn events may take at Atlantic
City. In its present position, many
officers hold the expedition Is of no
stragetic value, while the long line
of communication with the advance
base Is a constant source of dan
ger.
II was understood here that the
troops would not be ordered home
while negotiations were pending.
Official advises today indicated
that all of the Americans at Parral
had made their escape and will soon
arrive at Nogales, AriG. There has
been much excitement over rumors
that Villa bandits had put many for
eigners to death when they raided
the town recently. The Americans
six or seven in number, are believ-
ed to have made their way across
mountains to Cullaccan, Sinalca. and
started toward Nogales over the line
of the Southern Pacific of Mexico.
