THIS YEAR TO TEST
BRITISH STRENGTH

London, Feb I'm a lecture at the
London School Of Economics, Sir
George Paish, editor of the Stats,
said that in 1916 the economic and
financial strength Of Great Britain
viii be subject to the seyerest possi
BILE test, as he proposed to provide
her allies and colonies with loans Of
at least G400, 100000, and possibly
5000 100000, and to support bigger
navy than ever, and 100000 men in
the field
The speaker expressed the belief
that nobody can accuse the British
nation of any superabundance Of brain
power, adding that probably her very
mediocrisy in this respect was the
cause of her strength.
The greatest qualities of the British
people, he said, were common sense
and courage. combined with a lack Of
Imagination
At the end of the war Great Britain
will stand about where she stood at
the beginning, except that she will
have lost her new savings, Sir George
said He declared the loss already
amounted to 5000, 100000 and ex-
/ pressed the belief that if the war
1 lasted another year the loss would
reach $1,000, 900, 600.

.PRUSSIAN TREATY
GOVERNS THE CASE

Washington, Feb 5.-Secretary Ian
sing indicated the United States has
decided the Prussian-American treaty
governs the case of the Appam, as
Germany contends.
The secretary disclosed further the
sole question to be decided is how long
the Appam should be permitted to re-
main in American waters. The treaty
guarantees to a German prize the
right to come and go freely.
If the Appam is forced to depart it
doubtless will become the prey of
British cruisers assembling outside
the Virginia capes If forced to de-
part German officials have said the
ship will be sunk to prevent recapture
by the British.
Germany is expected to contend the
treaty guarantees the Appam the right
to remain safe in Hampton Roads un-
til the case goes before a prize court
for adjudication.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.---''F Finan-

stop It,"
One OF the biggest bankers In the
United States gave this as an answer
to reports that Wall street is be-
hind the present peace talk In
America.
IF we were worried about loans
piling UP the loans would fall off"
he said. "The end OF our lending to
Europe is automatic. II the loans are
not attractive to us We don't make
them. That Is the cold blooded fl
nancial viewpoint of It, | don't sup
pose there is a banker in tho United

they are not financiers, they are hu-
mans. What could we do to stop the
war? Stop lending money? Ger
many has not borrowed any money,
though 1t is puzzling to financiers
to know how she is financing her
fighting, but she is doing it somehow.
One thing, Germany still has the
money with which she began. On
the other hand. the allies still have
their own funds. They are fighting
on borrowed capital, and they could
still have thoir own capital to fall
back on II American bankers should
shut them off.
"It doesn't seem likely in the least
that peace move at this time would
have any result. but 1t Is not true,
In my opinion, that Wall street has
sought or will ever seek to bring In
fluence for or against peace efforts. ("
