NATIONAL DEBTS SHOW LARGE
 INCREASE

PARIS, May 90. - Correspondence of the Associated Press.) - The re cords of the national defense bonds at the ministry of finances show that the public is now bringing to the trea- sury an average of fifty million francs cash a day in exchange for the short term obligations at five per cent. This is more than billion and half month, or eighteen billion year, whick, is three billion more than the war of 1870 cost That fact" says a high authority on French finance, shows sufficiently that the cautious French public is not alarmed by the financian requirements of the French effort
 There was a period during the war when people, astounded by the pro portions the conflict had taken, were inclined to say, It cant go on like that. Where will the money come from? Yet it has gone on with stead fly increasing expenditures - billions follow billions into the gulf of war, yet the money flows in. The truth is that after being shocked by the fin ancial effort required, FrenChmen were astonished at the revelation of their own resources
 The deduction drawn by French fin ancial experts generally is not only that French confidence is undismayed by the multiplication of the govern ment's debts, but that it is not money, but credit, which keeps the war go- ing, primarily. On the other hand, they point out, it is war that keeps money in continual circulation, hand ing it out to new creditors as fast as it is brought in by old ones in eX- change for. bonds. In this way the French public debt has gone from about thirty-two billion francs before the war to about fifty-two billion, an increase of nearly 62 per cent, but nothing in proportion to the increase in the public debt of Germany, which is 515 per cent, and in Great Britain, where it is 165 per cent.
 The public debts of the leading be- ligerent powers before the war, and the percentages to which they have increased as shown in figures avail able here. are as follows:

Do we question to ourselves,

THE CRAVELED ROAD
Il W They Might be Paid For With
Automobile Tax.

The Iowa Militia at Camp Dodge has
discovered that graveled roads will
stand heavy traffic.
Sunday, June 25th, between three
and four thousand aptomabiles visited
Camp Dodge where the militiamen are
in camp, and the Hyperion Field and
Motor Club where the annual State
Golf Tournament is being held.
Traffic was so heavy that automo-
biles stood in double line two miles
in length awaiting their turn to get
into the grounds. Mounted militiamen
we're required to handle the immense
congention. .
The city of Des Moines never ex-
terienced such an automobile rush as
the guards had to handle on this road
ten miles from the city, s.,
During the night 1t rained very hard,
enough to stop automobile traffic on
all side roads. Neither the rain or the
travel affected the Hyperion Club
graveIled road
At 7:30 in the morning several Ave
ton trucks had reached the camp and
Club with supplies Not a single
truck or automobile had on chains. BY
noon several hundred automobiles
and trucks had made the ten milo
trip. The road showed no signs of its
heavy service. <5n.....
The road was gravelled by the Hy-
perion Club at a cost of less than $500
per mile in 1919 and costs less than
$50 per mile for maintenance annually.
