WAR LOANS

~ REAT Britan's estimated wealth is $85 OOOOOOOOOO
 she has made three great loans since the commence O ment of the war, aggregating $10OO0 4444 444 Her last loan was S8 OOO0OO which the greatest sin gle loan ever oated in the history of the world It was taken up 30 days 5289000 individuals subscribing to the oan One person in every II inhabitants of the Unit ed Kingdom subscribed to this oan and the average sub scrption $95O though great many subscribers took only 4 or about $ The great number of subscribers to this loan pointed out evidence of the patriotism of the British people.
 Germany wealth is estimated at $800000O0,000. Ger many has put out five loans since the commencement of the war; aggregatng $11 7500OO00O In Germanys latest loan person in 13 of the population is reported to have subscribed and the average amount taken by each sub scriber was $700
 Taking into consideration these figures, the S5000, 100000 loan of the United States with estimated wealth of S22O0000000OO and population of 1000OO0O0 seems almost small With wealth nearly three times great that of Great Britain is trying to borrow less than onehaf of what Great Britain has borrowed With population and one-half times large that of Germany loan is much less than half of the amount that Germany has borrowed.
 Americas Liberty loan is less than onesixth of the bank deposits in country. An ordinary borrower does not think he is rning himself when he borrows 40 per cent of the value of his property The United States is borrowing less than 3 per cent of its wealth.

WAR BOND INVESTOR
 IS SAFE EITHER WAY;
 ND GAMBLE INVOLVED

SAN RANCFISCO, Cal, June 1. - Telegraphic advices to the financial committee of the Liberty loan from the treasury department at Washing ton calls particular attention to the conversion privileges of the Liberty bonds. The dispatch is as follows:
 "The holder of a Liberty bond has the privilege, without expense to him, of exchanging his 314 per cent bond into any new United States govern ment bonds which may be issued dur ing the present war, bearing a higher rate of interest.
 "This is most important practical reason for deciding to buy Liberty bond now.
 If the government is obliged to raise the interest rate of any new is sue to sell bonds at par (100), the present purchaser enjoys the enviable position of being able to increase his rate of interest by this exchange privilege.
 Furthermore, power to increase the interest rate should enable the gov ernment to maintain the price of the Liberty loan at or above par (100).
 "It seems equally likely that in the event of such increase of interest rate becoming necessary, other securities bearing fixed interest rates will dec line in price.
 "This means that the present pur- chaser of a Liberty bond can feel cer- tain that he can sell his bond at any time at practically what he now pays for it or more. If he holds other securities bearing fixed interest rates, he may have to suffer considerable loss in the event of his selling.
 If the war is of short duration, he can probably sell his 5000 bond at considerable more than 5000. If the war is of long duration and the gov ernment is obliged to issue more bonds at higher rate, the investor gets the higher interest rate. In the Liberty bond, the investor is protected fore and aft-either way he wins"

N EN who are thoroughly familiar with mining cond-
 WI tions in the west have suggested that congress A should suspend the regulations at this time requir ing annual assessment work mining claims at least in behalf of owners who join the army or otherwise serve the government Some advocate going further and would suspend the rules altogether during the war; because thousands of claims scattered throughout the mountains call multitude of every year from the farms rail roads, factories and other enterprises to perform the practically unproducte assessment work although their services urgently needed at the posts which they have temporarily quilted Later when the draft law goes into effect there will be still greater demand for their labor in immediately productive pursuits.
 Every effort should be made for the sake of the
