/ Take, for example, the huge in
demnity paid after 1871 by France
to Germany. AS a consequence OF
this, the prosperity and trade Of
France was recuperative and pro,
! gressive, while Germany was depres
sed and suffering Bismarck himsel
acknowledged this, and economists in
! both France and Germany attributed
it to the way in which Germany re-
ceived her French indemnity pay
ments.
I'm subsequent wars. notably the
Russo-Japancse war, claims for in
IDENTITIES in money, even when made
by the victors, have not been pressed
because Of the immense difficulties
which they present.
ANY indemnity commensurate
within the range and losses Of this
war must be taken at huge figure
Five billion dollars, sum less than
the British Parliament has already
voted for the war, may be taken as
the lowest figure likely to be named
Now to pay five billion dollars from
one side to another is impossible in
gold. Even if gold payments could
be made. the immediate result would
only be to immensely initiate the pri-
ceS in the country receiving the
gold. Prices being raised enormous
ly with no increase in. the volume of
trade, manufactures or commodities,
would mean intense privation to the
poor and complete upset of COM
MERGE.
1.-THE French government surprised
the world when in September. 1878,
just q months after the first indem-
nifty payment, she paid to Germany
the last installment, making a total
of billion dollars. France was able
to do this by buying credit bills in
London Amsterdam, and elsewhere.
One-third of billion dollars worth
OF bills were bought in Lonodn, for
English trade had been remarkably
brisk while Germany and France
were fighting, and London bankers
had been lending while French and
German armies had been spending.

land made the indemnity easy. In
the circumstances of the present
war, no such neutral trading and
banking countries exist.
IF Germany has to pay huge in
demnity, she cannot do it by ship
ments Of gold, nor by transferring
debts due her, nor by creating fresh
debts. She can pay only by her COM
merce or productive industry. If
her manufacturing and shipping and
trading houses could be started at
once in full swing, Immediately the

Peace Indemnity Is
Out of the Question

London, Jan. 5.-"The eXaction of
large indemnity as a part of the
terms Of peace in the present war
is, | believe, out Of the question: de-
clares Joseph King, member Of Par
lament from Somerset, who has fig
ured in the House OF Commons for
the past five years as an expert on
economic questions. The question as
put to him was. at the close Of the
war, will it be possible, and il pos
sible, will it be good policy, for the
victOrs to impose heavy money in
demnity on the vanquished?
In his reply. Mr. King naturally
assumes that the entente powers will
be the victors, but he insists that
they have little to gain from an eff
fort to extract indemnity from Ger
many and her allies
"Of course he says, I'VE hear
many EnglishmelI remark Certain
ly, we shall make Germany pay every
penny we can get out of her, and
we shall go on fighting until we can
get terms including a big sum in
money. That sounds very simple,
but is it possible? The imposition
OF an indemnity is a very complicat
ed and difficult question to decide.

NEW YORK TEAM
NOT SOLD YET

1t had been expected that the deal
for the Cubs was the only big bust
ness al Cincinnati next week, but il
Is now more than likely that the
transfer of the Giants will also be
acLed upon at that time. Sinclair
agreed upon at the last meeting he
was willing to pay really more than
the Giants were worth, but that he
would not stand for q hold-up. Now
The only question which remains to
be settled is what figure the oil man
regards as coming within the cate
cory of holu-up.
The price that Sinclair is willing
to stand for is in the neighborhood Of
$2,G00.000. Astute financier that he
Is. he figures on making five per cent
on this amount outside Of the re-
ceipts during the regular baseball
season. 1t is expected that the amer
lean league team in New York will
close long term contract for the
lease of the polo grounds at the rate
close to $4,000 year. A number of
outside attractions will make more
than that, and as he figures on a
home attendance for the team OF
something like 100000 he does not
run very much Of risk.
1t is known that President Hemp.
stead has been punching the price,
but he said at Cincinnati that he
could not we'll refuse a certain offer
for the club were it made. This has
now been made and unless tie own
er Of the Giants has hoisted the price
again Harry Sinclair will get the
club John J. McGraw will be tine
manager, president Gilmore will be
the president and John B. Foster will
remain as secretary.
Apparently, President Weeghman
of the Chicago Feds was on the in
side which accounts for his efforts to
get certain players despite the wealth
of material he has on his hands now.
Bets have already been made on the
Cubs against the field, but an astute
Spectator, close to the Federal
league powers. made the proviso that
it wouldn't go if Sinclair got the

IF Germany's wonderful produc-
tivity and trading enterprises are tC
be revived after the war in order to
pay indemnities to her enemies, il
means that her enemies will have to
trade with her far more than they
did before the war. If the impover-
| ished workers of Germany are to make
wealth to pay, then there must be
customers for their work. These can
| only be found among the allies. Will

her, while their own mills and work.
men are depressed and perhaps idle?
Will those OF the allies who have
been Protec:ionist before, notably
Russia, become Free Trade in order
that German workers may produce
profits to pay indemnity?
writers who have studied the
subject are agreed that nation
which proves victorious in war may
with profit and advantage impose a
money indemnity on the vanquished
only under. very exceptional circum-
stances, and three conditions are re-
quisite: the nation paying the in
demnity must be very wealthy; it
must be UNNECESSARILY weaker in
military strength than the victor;
and, the war must be of short dura-
ton
There is one possible way, how
ever, in which the equivalent OF an
indemnity might figure in the allies
peace terms. In this latest and great
est war new and astonishing meth
DDS of warfare and action have been
widely introduced, old traditions and
conventions of war have been thrown
to the winds. May it not be so after
the war that new proposals for peace
will be put forward? For instance,
why not require Germany to supply
so many tons Of steel, cement, tim
Der, stone, bricks. for rebuilding de-
vastated Belgium? Why not agree
to trading conventions that would
allow the allies the benefit of mutual
trade and commerce? Why not get
certain advantages over land rates
between the West of Europe and
Russia across Germany? And other
similar conccss ms will readily oc-
cur. The object OF these would not
be, like that of an indemnity, to dis
arm and weaken the vanquished but
il would be advantageous to the vic
tors The possibilities Of civilization
are not exhausted, even il a crushing
indemnity is in the nature of events
out Of the question"
