ZURICH. June 1.-THE financial

who recently returned from a trip
through Germany. says in an article
on the industrial and financial condi-
tion OF the empire:
About 30 per cent of the German
factories are making war material and
the rest are pillns up enormous stocks
of products Of all kinds for expectation
after the war. These stocks will be
dumped on the foreign markets at the
lowest possible prices as soon as peace
is restored to bring cash money to
Germany quickly. 1 have visited many
factories, and was nstonished at the
quantity of finished goods 1 saw
"a part of the stocks accumulated
now is going TO Roumnnia. Bulgaria
and Turkey. but the quantities sold to
these countries are comparatively small.
Most of the goods will be sent to the
United States, to South America and
TO China as soon as the German mer-
chant fleet can resume its activities.
Then the trade war will begin. and it
may last for many years.
Financially. Germany has not been
weakened as much by the war rs is
generally supposed in foreign conn-
tries. Little money has left the coun :
try, and the government will easily
be able to raise two or three other
large loans. hut the financial crisis will
come after the war. To pay the inter
est for The huge war debt and to
accumulate n sinking fund for the pay
ment of the loans the already enormous
taxes will have to be more than tripled
and it is more than doubtful whether
the nation can carry this awful LOAD
which may paraly2c all industries and
bring OH national bankruptcy"

How Daisy skipped about, trying as
hard as a child of seven could try to
'straighten the room, make her mother
comfortable and dress the baby ready
for his daily walk
Daisy tied on Baby's little hood and
kissed her mother and went out with
her charge. They did not live very
far from the Park so there they went,
for it was nice bright day. But 1t
seemed dark and dismal to poor Daisy,
with SO much worry and trouble on
her little heart. When they came to
a nice, quiet place under big Elm
Tree, Baby Freddy went to sleep in
his cart, and Daisy tried no longer to
keep back her tears, for she was sure
nobody would see them.
AS she lay in the grass crying Bit
terly, she felt something move beside
her and looking down she saw a
queer, dusty pointed nose poking out
of a hole in the ground. She drew
away, and was about to jump up,
when little, squeaky voice said:
