MORTGAGES which some land purchasers
have been willing to put on their pur-
chases, ana the small equity they have
retained, 10 remarkable considering the
high price OF the land and the low net
income possible to take from the land,
Thus, for example. there was one
instance OF q purchase for $6o.400 Of a
valuable farm in this country. The
buyer rave back a mortgage for
$40, 900 for twenty years at per cent.
The interest charge will be $1,000 a
year. @Hg
In another case Of $4,000 deal. the
buyer gave back mortgage for
$2s, 600 at 6 per cent but for only two
years. Evidently he knows where
the money il coming from to pay it.
Still in another deal for $4,000 the
buyers gave back mortgage for
$4,000 for ten years at S per cent.
These cases are extremes, however.
The prevailing rate on this class Of
loans has been from to s per cent.
Where the loan has been for only a
half or less Of the value. and for five
years or longer. the rate has gone as
low as S per cent In a great many
cases. In many others it has been
5h, in still others 8, In some cases Z.
and ina few as high as per cent.
Any interest above per cent usually
represents the charge on a second or
third mortgage.

THE BRITISH VIEW
OF THE WAR SITUATION

During the present rush OF the
Teutons some timid people who
fail to count the reserve strength
and the capacity of the contest
ants for prolonged strain may be-
come a little panicky. But it
must be remembered that in life
and death struggle the fighter
which can hold on longest and
bring the greatest supply of new
strength into action will play the
trump card in the end
In arriving at the real situa-
ton, it is well to recall that the
British fleet, the deciding factor
against early Teuton victory and
the staying factor today, contin-
ues to keep the Teutons encircle1
from the Dardanelles to the Bal
tic. Their trade is restricted, and
their zone of action now about at
its maximum. Accepting this
fact, the allies have the Teutons
en-walled, and now the final bout
will follow when the allies get
good and ready. General Fran
els Y. Greene, a noted West
Pointer, brother to James Greene
former Dawson business man, re-
Gently compiled statistics which
he gave out IN an address in New
York which, on reading one can
see between the lines, that the
strength OF the allies has not yet
been touched, and the balance OF
power lies in their vast reserves.
General Greene shows that the
population of the entente powers
in Europe is zoo, 100000 and OF
the Teutonic powers and their
ally, Turkey, 122, 100000. The
entrance of Bulgaria increases
the Teutonic total somewhat. But
the entente powers have popul-
Gus colonies SO that they car
draw on total population OF
100000, while the total popu-
lation of Germany, Austria-Hun-
gary, Turkey and their colonies
is I55,ooo,ooo.
The number of killed on each
side has been about the same, &C
cording to General Green's com
pilation. Tie number of missing
on the side of the entente power,
is more than 100000 greater
The Nome daily nugget., 1916-04-01

Greene regards these as conser-
vative figures.
The sot of the war is estima-
ted at from S4o,ooo,ooo to $780,
100000 a day. and the total cost
by January I, 1916, will be SIS
ooo,ooo,ooo, of which probably sc
per cent will have been borrowed
Already about S 2o,ooo,ooo,ooc
has been borrowed.
This seems to be an enormous
strain on credit and resources
yet Gen. Greene observes that
the debts at present are consid-
erably less in the percentage OF
accumulated wealth than was the
American debt so years ago or
the European debts a hundred
wears ago resulting from the Ma
poleonic wars. He finds that
wealth has increased far more
rapidly than population in the
last hundred years and that all
or nearly all the belligerents have
still vast sources of credit UNI
touched.
The armed strength of the en-
tente powers is given at 100000
men, and of the Teutonic allies,
not including Bulgaria, 100000.
The difference in population is
much greater, however, than that
in armed strength. The entente
powers, because of their larger
population, should be able to in
crease and keep up their armed
strength longer than their oppon-
ents. The vast resources of Bri-
tain in Canada, Australia, India,
Egypt, New Zealand and Africa
are available for her sustenance,
and France has large resources
in Africa. Russia has the ire
mendous stretches of her own
country and Siberia-another
Canada. Access to the sea gives
these nations the world for a
storehouse. The central powers,
on the other hand, are circum-
scribed and limited to their own
resources, which already are inn
poverished. In the test of en-
durance and material wealth and
grand aggregate of population
there can be no doubt who will

THE EVIL OF THE KNOCK

Satan never invented a more

this evil is that it works its ill
three ways.
1t injuries the one talked about,
the one talking and the one talk
ed to. A reputation is sfnirched
every time we pass on an unneces-
sary criticism of fellow-being
Our own character and self-con-
trul are weakened with every
such word. And the mind of the
listener is poisoned; he who ought
to be helped to see and think
about the best in others has been
degraded, part way at least, to-
ward the unworthiness OF our
own low level. Once in a while
an almost Knockout blow is Civ
en- to this unworthy and unfair
kind of fighting by someone's
