elgn purchases, and, In addition. it
increases the cost Of the war In
terms OF debt.
Lack Of Supplies the Real Test
In Germany. whose inconvertible
paper has deprecated according to
the price of exchange about 20 per
cent?, the government receives this
paper I'm payment OF loans. BY
granting loans through new credit
institutions practically To all who
need funds to pay debts and by pro-
yiding the former with this depre-
ciated paper they avoid the neces'
sity of a moratorium. since they BUY
little from foreign countries. For
purchases from Holland. Denmark
Switzerland, Norway and Sweden
they are probably forced to send
more or less gold II German goods
cannot be sent. Thus, even though
the paper Is deprecated, the exter'
nal forms of payment go on. and In
the sense Of providing a means OF
payment there Is no lack OF money
nor what would be called financial
exhaustion" Any significant ex-
haustion must be economic, that is,
In the actual production and supply
of goods and war supplies.
In short, with resources inferior
10 those of the allies, the govern
ment OF Germany Is technically sol
vent as long as she pays even In
deprecated money; but, while thus
technically solvent as a government,
she may be gradually becoming eco
nomically exhausted as a people.
On the other hand. country like
Russia. with large potential re-
sources. may, as government, Dy

course, il could not by taxation be-
gin to cover it's enormous war ex'
penditures, and It's credit abroad Is
not what 1t might be in view OF It's
vast resources. Hence 1t has diff
Guilty in paying for its foreign pur-
cEases, and has been aided by Eng
lish credit. But It's financial ineffi'
cheney will not stop its fighting. II
will remain question OF goods and
men. It's food supplies are indefin-
itely large.
AZ to France
In regard to France, although II
began the war with a debt OF So
600 600, 900 and deficit, its credit
organization, cente-ing about the
Bank of France. is fairly strong
even though 1t Is being strained
to the utmost. The bank has receiv'
ed gold by public appeal In as large
amounts as in the earlier remarkable
campaign by the Reichsbank in Ger
many. II has helped Great Britain
with gold and that country has aid
ed France with credit. Thus, imam
cially speaking. France will not be
estopped from fighting. SO long as
she has credit she can obtain sup
plies abroad. With her 1t is ques-
ton of men.
In the case of Great Britain, with
large resources in all parts OF the
world. with open ports, she will not
lack supplies TO any amount. Her
purchasing power Is not now sup
ported by the usual export Of goods.
but her credit is very great. Thus
she has been able TO provide for an
indefinite quantity Of goods both for
herself and her allies from abroad
Her organization OF credit has not
been strained TO any serious extent,
ror has she yet resorted to incon-
vertible paper. A possible deprecia-

It's. based on their ownership OF
goods or property-often In the form
Of other investments. BY making a
loan the government comes into
control OF goods or property either
at home or abroad.
As already shown during war, the
government destroys goods and
property; yet the financial question
resolves inself into methods OF get
ting control of supply of actual
goods and property. II It's credit
and borrowing power are maintained
and IL It can recoup its daily de-
struction Of goods by imports from
abroad. the country can fight indetin-
itely, limited only by the burden
which the future can carry. This
10 the situation OF Great Britain,
France. Italy and Japan.
In O different situation, however,
stands Germany. Practically cut Off
from imports and mainly obliged to
float its loans at home, Germany
has been represented as having all
economic advantage. because 1t Is
keeping its money" at home, bor-
rowing from It's own people. and Is.
therefore. economically independent
II DR.. Karl HelfYerich is correctly
quoted In his budget speech OF Dec.
II. 1915. before the reichstag. he
saidl 1--WE are paying almost ex-
clusively to ourselves. while the en-
envy is paying abroad. Therein lies
the guaranty that In the future we
shall maintain the advantage. a..
Germany can bear to become poorer
and always remain what she is. We
endured the 80 years war and the
Napoleonfc wars. We were sucked
dry, piundered, beaten. cut up, but
we always worked our way out and
grew together again"
From our preceding analysis it
must follow that Germany's loss OF
capital cannot be replaced from Dor
rowings abroad, and that, as the lev
ell of her debts and home credits
rises, the volume of her actual goods
declines. A creation Of debt due to
foreigners does not allow her TO pro-
vide by imports present goods in
the place OF the daily destruction OF
war supplies. To be sure, she has
no problem in finding a medium or
payment satisfactory TO foreign sell
ere. as the allies have, but she has
a constant loss OF economic strength
without the replacement of il.
Road to Economic Exhaustion

scribers to Germany's loans pay in
cash, for the goods constantly de-
s.royed leave pro tanto n lessening

of her Reichsbank notes and all or

To issue inconvertible notes as the

securities), to have these notes used

to pay them out again for munitions

is only another way of saying that a

How TO be baptized is a question

members OF the Methodist church,
will this evening be baptized by
immersion, whereas the custom
with Methodists is to baptize by
sprinkling.
The baptism by immersion will
be performed by Rev. Titus Lowe

the First Christian church, Twenty

the use of its baptismal pool to the
Methodists, es the latter have no
