Paris. April 27.-it has been an
nounced here that negotiations are
in progress by the National City
Bank Of New York for the opening
Of branches in Petrograd and Mos
COW. while at the same time an inn
portant French metallurgique estab-
lishment is about to pass under con-
troll of the international Corporation
Of New York.
This is the beginning Of move
ment easy to prophecy. America
has received in the past enormous
sums from Europe. while to-day
American securities held in Europe
arc going back TO New York. and at
the same time American importa-
tions from Europe. except for a few
articles like silk, have fallen away
to almost nothing.
After the war European countries
will lack capital and will have huge
debts TO liquidate, will have to re-
build railroads. factories and cities.
and renew ali kinds Of property.
They will lack capital, and their
needs will be enormous. They will
have very few goods to export TO
America 10 pay their debts.
On the other hand. America will
find itself embarrassed by the
amount Of capital in hand and bills
falling due. They cannot export for
ever TO Europe If Europe has
neither goods nor money TO pay with.
Therefore, it is merely good policy
on the part Of America to contribute
to the rebuilding Of Europe after
the war so Europe can continue do
ing business with America.
This point of view is lacking with
most of the delegates TO the Inter
national Parliamentary Congress
meeting in Paris to-day. Their only
preoccupation is to isolate the
Allies commercially from Germany
after the war. But Germany takes
nearly 40 per cent Of her imports
from the Allies, and if this bust
ness is stopped after the war it not
only will be a great deprivation for
Germany, but a great loss for the
Allies.
If the German market is closed
where are the Allies going to sell
their goods? Also neither France
nor Belgium can get along without
the five and a half million tons Of
coal they have taken annually from
Germany.
The Allies can prohibit all impor
tations from Germany for a certain
length of time after the war, but If
they DO that they force Germany 10
seize neutral markets. and there is
no great gain to the Allies in that.
II the Allies expect TO get war
indemnity from Germany it is to
their interest that both Germany and
Austria export a much as possible
in order to be able TO pay an in
demnity. The great trouble is that
il is so hard 10 make so-called states
men realize that simple proposition.

France, after experimenting went back in
1915 to her nlne-month standard. but
judging by the results of the war sol
diers hesitate to say that the German
scheme has failed.
Germany's class of 1915 went into bar
racks on July 1 last year, and three
months later the entire class of 1915 was
ordered out. These two classes first ap-
peared at Verdun this year. scores of
thousands. of them being used to fill the
gaps In the crown princes storming col
ums. The class of 1917 was called out
in December. and is momentarly ex-
pected by the allied staffs, though on
June l none of its members had been re-
ported on the western front.

Austria-Hungary has seventy-two divt-

Dual Monarchy's total man power. My
informants believe less than $4,000
bayonets and 100000 men in the auxiliary
services are left, out of something like
100000 men who have taken the field
during the war. Not only are the boys
