there are financial and economic fac tors in the war that are as great or greater than military campaigns, eX- pedition and armies-factors which are. steadily increasing an importance and which cannot be left out of ac- count by those enthusiasts who would rush blindly ahead and who talk light ly of crushing nations and altering all the old boundaries of Europe. Some of these factors and their in evitable tendencies he had summed up in his Political Economy of War as follows:
 Left to Imagination.
 What will be the condition of Europe, when peace comes through exhaustion, after the continental states have used up all their credit and borrowed all that can be bor- rowed, may be left to the imagination of those who can see further than the writer through the gathering gloom How commerce will be fin anced, how manufactures will be re- vived, how banking will be carried l on, how public bankruptcies on m | unheard of scale are to be avoided l these are questions which defy ex- | perience and baffle even the wisest
 heads" And he adds: s-es
 'If force leads nowhere and offers no remedy. then reason must be sum- moned to save Western Europe from social and economical ruin. Per l chance the New World may recall 1 sanity to the Old.''
 Col House had ample opportunity in his recent visit to note and de- velop this last sentence.

TEETH|NG OF BABY SHOULD BE WATCHED
Mothers Should Never Give Infant
 Patent Medicines

Wash, Feb. 22-The baby usually cut his first teeth when he is 6 to 8 months old, and by the end of the first year has ordinary, teeth. The age; 16 when he is two years old, and before the end of the third year the entire set of twenty milk" teeth
 The process of teething in healthy baby cannot properly be held respon- sible for the illness commonly at- tributed to it. The first halt-dozen teeth rarely give the baby any pain, but as the double teeth appear there is occasionally at the same time @ little disturbance, such as loss of ap- petite, and possibly evidence of slight indigestion, which may last for a few days. But if the disturbance is more serious than this, some other reason for it should be sought
 Mistakes in Feeding.
 Teething takes place through the weaning period and during the sec ond year. when mistakes in feeding are so often made which upset the baby's digestion, even if they do not make him seriously i'll. On this ac- count it is often unjustly blamed for making the baby sick, when the real reason lies in the fact that he was overfed or improperly fed, or perhaps that the weather was very hot.
 It must be rem embered that eXces- sive heat aggravates any i'll the baby may have, and is quite sufficient in it. self to make the baby sick. It is nec- essary in summer, therefore, both on account of the heat and because of the disturbances connected with wean ing and teething, to take great care of the baby in all respects, and espe- cially to feed him with great caution. Directions for feeding the baby are given in a pamphlet called Infant Care" which will be sent free to any one who asks for it, apply to the Chief l of the Children's Bureau, U. S.

 During Napoleonic Wars
 "Similarly in regard to finance. During the Napoleonic wars we gave a number of small loans and sub- sidies to foreign powers. Thus we gave loans of subsidies to Prussia and many other small German states, to Russia, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Swe- den, Sicily and Denmark. Most of these loans were sent in cash, but considerable quantities of arms, pro- visions, clothing and supplies were despatched at various times to O1ir allies. The total amount of the sub sides given between 1793 and 1S14- and there is not a single year in which we did not subsidize one or more of our foreign allies-is, how ever, computed by Porter at only 46,000,O0O pounds sterling, although the total cost of the war to Great Britain-I speak from mem ory--WaS something like 800, 100000 pounds sterling, think I am within the facts in stating that, up to the present, we have contracted or promised 10 our allies at least ten times as much in the course of, a war of IS months as we contributed in the 21 years or the French wars. And it will be oD- that the sum is much greater proportionatcly as well as relatively
 These facts will perhaps explain the reasOnab1cncSs of the criticism which has been directed both to the policy and to the size of the army. I may add that a very able business man in the house of commons MT. Holt. stated the other day that we would be more likely to bring the war to a successful terml1- ation with an army of three million than with an army of four million men. This is clearly the case if those

military experts are right who hold with de Bloch's theory that it is ., war Of exhaustion and attrition, and that decisive military victories of the Napoleonic type are improablc. Another member of parliament, MT
 Godfrey Collins, who has studied mil- itary finance very closely, predicted last week that as expenditures would rise in the course of a couple of months to 6,000,0O0 pounds streling which would be at the rate of 2,19O,- 900, 900 pounds sterling ($1O,95O, 000) a year.
 German Finance CrumbIing. "Meantime German finance is crumbling. I judge that their eXpen- ditures are between 100000 pounds and 5,0O0,0O0 pounds a day, and the internal economy of Germany is suf- fering more and more from issues of indigestible paper currency. The expenditures and the depreciation of German paper would be much heavier but for the fact that the whole com try is on a war diet, and a great Darr of the cost of the war is being. paid by privation. To judge from the Ger man newspapers own account of con- ditions, discontent is steadily grow ing, and in my opinion the main thing that maintains the military party in power is the fear of invasion and of dismemberment. If the wat goes on much longer l do not see how the German empire will be able to pay in terest on it's war debt. For the in terest on debts and the war pensions after the war, are likely to be as great or greater than the whole inn perial revenue before the war;
