BITTER AGAINST THE U. s.
Three Thousand Hamburg Burghers
Pledge Loyalty to Kaiser.

AMSTERDAM. via London, April Is
The Hamburg Fremdenblatt publishe,
an account of an anti-American demon
stration in Hamburg, at which speak
ers bitterly attacked the United States,
Among the assertions made were
claims that no nation enjoys greater
internal liberties than Germany and
that President Wilson is a hypocrite In
pretending that the German govern
ment forced America to abandon her
neutrality.
Loud laughter greeted a question as
to how America would feel if Germany
wanted to proclaim President Wilson
the kaiser of the United States The
following resolution was telegraphed
to the emperor:
Three thousand burghers of Ham
burg inform President Wilson that the
only true and just answer to his mes
sage to Congress is their affirmation of
unshakable trust and loyalty in their
kaiser and empire. They resent as an
impertinence any outside attempt to in
terfere In Germany's internal affairs
and likewise reject the vain effort to
remove the guilt for the world war
from the shoulders Of the entente pso-
pies"

Study Wealth of Country.

To offset the great figures of debt
members of Congress are studying the
wealth figures, and find that in 1870 the
per capita wealth OF this country was
s71s.s3, or total of s30,06s SIS, 900. In
1912 the wealth Of the United States
was figured at 1885 apiece. or $751;
7a9.s71.UoG.
During the eight years prior to
1872" said Representative Collier OF
Mississippi. a member of the ways and
means committee. in discussing the debts.
the wealth of the United States was in
creased about 15 per cent. or about 9
per cent a year. During the last four
years the increase has been upon a
larger percentage than that, but esti-
mating the increase of the nations
wealth al 10 per cent per aunum we
find in 1917 that the wealth q. the
Crited States is something like s263.-
06o, .0S0. Or per capita wealth OF
about s2.d0G. These figures are reas-
suring and couciusively demonstrate
tterc is no reason for amy one TO be-
come apDrehcnsive because Of the in
crease ii our national debt"

Transfer Of Credits.

The burden to be carried under the
bill now pending is a net figure of
s3445. .0oo. .ooo-that is, subtracting the
$4,000. 900. 900 to be loaned to the allies
and adding the bonded debt already au-
thorized. the result will be net total
of s1a45,ooo.ooo.
The presumption is, at the Capitol.
that the foreign governments to whom
the $4,000, 900. 900 is loaned will pay it
back with interest, which takes that
burden from the people of the United
States, and 1t is presumed that the
spending of much of this money will be
here in the United States-that 1t will
be matter of transferring credits.
The debt of the United Kingdom
March 81. 1918. was almost precisely
what the debt Of the United States will
be when the pending bill is a law. BY
the middle of November. 1915, the
United Kingdom had increased the debt
to sl5.s00, 100000. The debt of France
has increased from $4,000. .00o, 900 in 1914
to Sl4, 100000 in August. 1916. The
bonded debt OF the United States at the
close of the civil war was s2.3s1, ,o0o. 600.

Mr.. BRYAN REPEATS
OFFER OF SERVICES
Former Secretary of State at
White House in Conference
With President.
WILL RESPOND TO CALL

i PRESIDENT Wilson received William
Jennings Bryan at the White House
this morning. They conferred In the
Presidents rooms before he went to
his Offices
| Mr. Bryan reiterated TO the President
his offer. recently made by telegraph.
to be of any service he could to the
government during the war.
| After leaving the President Mr..
Bryan dictated u statement declaring
his intention TO support the govern
ment in any war plans upon which it
might decide. He declined however, to
discuss CONSUMPTION specifically.
Food Situation Special Theme.
In his future speeches about the
country pending call from the gov
ernment for his services. Mr.. Bryan
said he would lay special stress on the
| food situation. He is gathering data
along that line for use in his addresses
Il called upon the President" Mr. Bryan
SAID. to pay my respects and confirm my
telegram sent him the day a state of war
! was declared TO exist. l do not care to
discuss any question before Congress
Whatever the government does Is right
ana shall support 1t to the utteI1nost.
take 1t for granted that the, people will
oni,ediy support any action taken by the
government. In war time the President
SPEAKS for the whole country. and there
Should be no division or dissension.
Willing to Cancel Engagements.
Il have q. number OF speaking dates,
made before this situation arose They
can be canceied at any time my services
are needed by the government These
meetings give me an opportunity Of laying
before the audiences I address the part
citizens can play in support Of the govern
ment l am collecting now from govern
ment sources such information as they de-
sire to spread and shall use it both in
speeches and in my paper"
Mr.. Bryan said he Endorsed any plan
to prohibit the use Of grain for making
liquor during the war
Il am in hearty sympathy" he said.
with the effort to conserve the food
supply by not allowing the bread to be
shortened in supply in order to lenKthen
the supply Of alcohol. 1t is not wise to
starve the people in order to make them
drunk"
Confers With Department Heads.
Before calling on the President. AR
Bryan conferred with Secretaries Raler
and Houston. He also planned to see
Secretary Daniels and Postmaster Con-
eral Burleson. Mr.. Bryan left here
shortly after seeing the President for

Finance Committee Favorable
to $1,000, 900, 900 Measure
Approved by House.
THREE SLIGHT CHANGES
BEFORE BEING REPORTED
Great Wealth of United States Makes
Proposed Bond Issue Seem
Small, Say Leaders:

The administration S7.ooo,ooo,-
600 revenue bill, which has passed
the House. was approved today
by the Senate finance committee,
and will be taken up i'll the Sen
ate tomorrow Ior passage.
The committee vote was unani-
nous. and Senate leaders expect
TO make an effort to put the bill
through in one session.
Three small changes were made in
the bill as it came from the House: one
IN the title. to make more apparent it's
purpose of assisting in the prosecution
of the war: another suggested by Sec
retary McAdoo. to permit funds raised
under tho measure to be deposited in
banks which are not members Of the
federal reserve system or in trust
companies. and a third to more clearly
exempt certificates Of Indebtedness
from taxation.
Country's Wealth Recalled.
The enormous size Of the proposed
bond issue which has passed one
branch Of Congress and will undoubt-
edly pass the other has been the talk
Of the Capitol; but there Is a compar-
ison made by several members Of the
House which makes the proposed debt
look small and meager.
The comparison is found in the esti-
mated wealth of the United States. A
bord issue of $4,000 O0o 900. to which is
added an cbligation in the way of
short-term notes of $4,000. 100000. is a
iarge enough item; but the largest
item yet mentioned in the congressional
discussions OF the subject is the esti-
mated wealth of the country, which
for this year is placed at $263.OOO.-
100000, or thfrty-seven and q half
times as large as the loan now being
arranged. There isn't that much cash,
OF course. but the wealth of the country
is counted in that sort of figures. which
is taken az a reessurtng thought by
some of those " no were at first tfmid
about the ability of Uncle sam to stand
the strain.
The general impression among sena-
tors and House members Is that great
debt will be stimulating influence to
the country. Representative Rainey OF
Illinois, member of the ways and
conversations with friends that the
great prosperity Of Great Britain be-
gan when that country assumed large
bonded Indebtedness. The mere fact
that there was a burden to be carried
moved the country to greater efforts.
with the most beneficial commercial
results.
