WILL SEEK LOAN
AFTER THE WAR
British Statlstician Says Germany is
in Bad Financial Shape
and viii Borrow
Money.
WAR COSTING BILLIONS
u War Lasts Until Next March, the
Expense VIII Have Reached
An Unbelievable
Figure.
fBy Wilbur S. Forrest, United Press
Staff Correspondent.l


LONDON, April 1. (By mail. }
Juggling stupendous figures to show
that Germany Is in desperate Imam.
cial straits, Edmond Crammond, well
known British statistician, declared
here today that the kaiser will seek
a gigantic foreign loan at the conclus-
ion OF peace.
This means. in fact" said Cram.
mond. "that Germany will repudiate
her internal war debt.
''Germanys expenditures to date
amount to about s9,595, 100000. while
her estimated national wealth in 1913
was about $75.0oO,00o
"Germanys Investments abroad
amount to $500, 900 Of which
about $50 0eO, 600 have been sold in
the United States and the remainder
are unrealigable Germany's colonies
are gone; her shipping industry is
ruined.
IT do not believe Germany is living
and fighting solely on what she is
Producing. She is living on the fat
she has accumulated during the last
forty years.
The decline in the exchange value
of the mark and the failures which
are taking place among the large
banks, despite frantic efforts Of the
government to keep the financial
machine going, point to the approach
of the greatest financial debacie the
world has ever seem"
Turning to the British financial
problem, Crammond asserted that a
tariff for revenue purposes here is
absolutely essential for the ''preser-
walton OF the balance of our economic
system"
He points to Britafn's outlay, to
date-$5,92O, 100000 including the
gross expenditure and the loans to
oomintons, allies and repayments to

AS measure of exacting penalty
on Germany for these expenditures,
Crammond suggests that the allies
should pool their indemnities and
present them in a lump to Germany.
also, that each allied power should
undertake to impose:
"A war debt on all German and
Austrian manufacturers.
"a war debt export duty on all ex-
ports of raw materials to Germanic
empires"
Gin addition says Crammond, "the
maritime powers should impose sup
Elementary war debt dues on all Ger
man and Austrian shipping entering
their ports in all parts of the world.
1.-The proceeds from these duties
should be paid over by the allied
powers to the war debt commission"

Girls to Finance eabt Week.


One Of the most recently organized
societies and one which has already
done enough public welfare work to
justify its existance is the Baby We'll
fare league. 1t is made up of young
girls, who beside the work they do,
are being trained to take their places
when they have grown older. in the
women's local charity organizations.
The young women of the league have
undertaken to finance Baby Week in
keokuk The lectures, the play and
the exhibits are all free and are edu-
cational. There is no income from
any O: the entertainments, but there
is necessarily expense attached to It.
The girls will pay these expenses
from the proceeds of their dancing
party on Thursday evening. Beside
