A farmhouse that is the most use
full must be designed to include many
features that are never considered in
the ordinary house. The basement,
especially, is used so much more on
the farm than 1t is in the city. Rooms
such as the Mushroom in the floor
plan shown here also have to be pro
vided.
The basement should be unusually
well built. Concrete should be used

of the war debt has already been def

wealth.
ENGLAND. on the contrary. has been
forced to help herself out mainly by
short term loans. A way must be
found for funding this floating debt
a difficult problem, he solution of
which presupposes that the future
lenders at home. and particularly
abroad. shall give proof of security for
the payment of interest and capital.
England was. therefore. compelled to
put on the tax screws Immediately and
with the tightest power possible. Com
mendable successes were attained, but
they were far from adequate to form a
definite basis for bringing into order
England's war finances.
That the German productive forces
and German capital power are able to
create and bear the necessary outlay
for interest service on national war
loans nobody familiar with German
capacity for achievement can for a
moment doubt. We can. however point
to a considerable achievement already
in taxation during the war. Besides
the new permanent imperial taxes we
have adopted tax on war profits. the
result of which are yet to be seen.

attention in the United States''


With respect to reference to the
unfavorable rate of German exchange,
Count Won Roedern said:
The depreciation of the German mark
abroad is certainly regrettable but also
unavoidable and passing phenomenon.
1t results simply from the fact that we
are excluded from the trade of the
world and from opportunities to eX-
port, while we continue to have a GER
tain. If very limited. import This sit
uation will change with the conclusion
of peace.
Just in this fact that we are forced
to depend upon ourselves economically
and financially lies our strength. We
are able to regard the depreciation of
exchange with far greater equanimity
than England, which is running stead
lily deeper into debt abroad Exchange
rates have quite a different Importance
for England. and the efforts of the
British financial talent are naturally
and chiefly devoted to maintaining the
sterling rate as long as possible"

The head of this section is given to
Gen. Hubert Lyautey. who has long
been regarded as combining high
political capacity with uncommon mil
itary ability. Gen. Lyautey has been
employed in Morocco since Athe war
began, where he procured the adher-
ence to the French cause of number
of the great Moorish chiefs. Some of
these, at their own expense, have
equipped from 5000 to 10000 men for

that war loans can arise and continue

money. when there are only 100000. :
600 in bank notes against 4'.0uo.ooo'pou

THE increased note circulation dur

the augmented turnover in war indus
