Germany's War
Loans a Puzzle
Even to Bankers
Expert Financiers Unable
to Explain Where the
Money Comes From
Huge Debt Is Growing
Confscation Seen as Method
of Paying of Nations
Obligations

Rerne. March 4-The issue Of Ger
many's sixth war loan has again raised
the question as 10 the sources or inc
empires sinews Of war. II is mys-
tory which even expert bankers are IN
able to satisfactorily explain. Inc
financial experts point out that the
German people arc living much more
economically than ever before. while
their earnings have greatly increased
and also that the capital formerly used
in carrying on the foreign trade OF tina
country has been invested in war bonds.
After giving these explanations the
financiers freely admit that they are
far from meeting the situation. Inc
two facts which cannot be lodged are
that nearly the entire able-bodled male
population has become huge burden
on the economic powers OF the country
and that the foreign trade. the source
OF enormous profit before the war, has
practically ceased TO exist. In the face
OF these adverse facts. Germany raised
last year two war loans which called
for subscriptions Of fully sS,0Co,Ooo,ooV.
In a book on Germany's economic
growth by Or. Helferich, in 1913. the
present vicc-C Chancellor estimated the
total annual increase Of the earned
wealth OF the German people for the
years Immediately preceding the wal
at 81 900 600, 900 to 100000, 900. Dat
Of this total the maximum amount in
vested in home and foreign securities
for any single year was only littie
over 500, 900. Yet the total OF last
years loan was sevenfold greater than
this maximum.
The attempt 70 explain the big loans
as due to credit operations is also dit-
fcult to accept, as far as the visible
evidence goes. The expansion of the
discounts and note circulation OF the
Reichs blank has not been OF such vol
ume as to be the determining fsctor
The big banks deny that they have
taken up the loans.
Germans are. however. more deeply

Devastation and Piliage
In Wake of Germans

thermore, all are similsr-pil!aged
devastated to the foundations.
AT Roye the entry to the village
was difficult. Streets no longer exist.
Gaping holes caused by the explosion
of big mines separate the quarters,
which are in groups. The Avre River
penetrated some of the large eXcava-
tions, which were transformed into
little lakes. Here again piilage was
savagely and methodicslly organized.
The entire village, looming up like an
amphitheatre, offers to the view only
houses with bare walls and floors
broken in. Tapestries, dishes, linen,
pictures and the smallest objects were
carried off and sent toward Germany.
Furniture was burned or transported
to the trenches, where il was after
wards broken up. Each inhabitant wa
left a mattress, a chair, but only what
was necessary.
To describe the JOY OF the inhabitants
is impossible. On February IL 1870 Of
them had received at 8 o'clock in the
morning an order to leave toward even

more have been taken away.
"'The Germans did not expect you so

Paris. March l9.-Twelve hundred
and fifty square miles of territory and
more than eleven thousand French have
been liberated by an irresistible for
ward movement Of the French and Brit
ish troops. The movement carly this
afternoon had not yet entirely abated.
With evident disorganization Of some
Of the forces Of the retreating enemy,
more towns were added to the sixty al
ready taken. and the advance now
covers a front Of more than eighty-two
miles. which will be spprecably ex-
tended.
Peronne, Chaulnes, Nesle, Noyon and
Guiscard stand out among the larger
cities recaptured "The Germans are
no longer at Noyon" will now be a IA
miliar French phrase. This was the
nearest point 10 the city Of Paris, being
only sixty-seven miles away. The Ger
mans had been lodged there for many
months.
Great Joy in Paris
II was mere that they once tried TO
break down the French line, with the
object of marching or Paris, hope
which must now be abandoned. When
ever a French legislator wanted to
annoy his government he would in
variably call attention 10 the fact that
"thc Germans are still at Noyon."
Great Joy was manifested in Paris
to-day that the Germans have, in fact,
been driven from Noyon, and the news
papers take great delight in this i'm
portant news.
It was at Noyon that Charlemagne
was crowned October Q.
The liberation Of Peronne likewise
evoked great satisfaction. IL is also
rich in memories. Il was here that
Louis NJ was taken prisoner.

Enemy No Longer at Noyon
Is Joyous Cry in France
Germans Still Retreating on 82-Me Front Have Given
Up $50 Square Miles of Territory; 900 French
Liberated in Reconquered Villages

the retreat was the subject for specu-
lation to-day, but q will soon be
known. The French yesterday en-
countered a resistance that was 6
little more serious than was noticed al
the beginning. This was inevitable,
as retreat not marked by energetic
efforts on the part of those giving
ground soon transforms itself into a
rout.
German generals who have ordered
the retreat or who have been forced
10 see it through will do everything
10 avoid rout. Decentralization is
contagious and troops who are driven
back vigorously, even when they yield
ground under orders, resist with diff
Guilty.
1t is reported that the Csmbrai-St.
Quentin line is powerfully defended
and that the supply of troops is m De
than ample. That Is possible, since the
German General STAFF has not hesitated
10 plagiarize French manpuvres on the
Marine. But conditions are no longer
the same. Even the line has changed.
and it is no longer supported by the
inaccessible TANKS which featured the
Battle of the Marine.
Cavalry in Action
The strength of material and can
mons has also changed greatly. The
character Of the war movement OF the
last few days has been sccentusted
most clearly by the French cavalry,
which was the first TO enter Nesle,
seven miles northeast of Roye. The
same is true of the cavalry, supported
by the infantry, which entered Noyon.

The French arc prepared for any
trap which may be sprung BY the re-
treating Germans. II the retreat i.
followed up too quickly by the French
they may be exposed to a counter Of

hand. If the French do not take up the
pursuit with vigor they will give their
adversary time to reorganize defensiy,
positions.
The most decisive results were OBJ
tanned yesterday. North of Avre the
French cavalry found Nesle abandoned
by the Germans. Several hours later

March 19.-On the wrecked front OF
the Hotel de Vile at Peronne the Ger
mans, before evacusting the city, paint
ed a large sign. This, when translated
into English, read: Don't be cross
only wonder"
The meaning Of this bit of parting
irony vas only too apparent on all
sides. Peronne lies a smouldering ruin.
Some sections Of this city have been
damaged by shell fire, but everywhere
else there is evidence of carefully de-
signed destruction by the garrison be-
fore retiring.
Some fine old residences which, be
cause Of their outlying location. had
escaped both shell and torch, had been
wrecked inside, top and bottom Many
Of them apparently had been used for
the messes Of officers and men. All bear
evidence Of the parting orgies. Furni-
ture, mirrors, crockery and pictures
have been absolutely shattered and the
msntelpieces smashed.
perhaps the most striking feature
of the situation is the fact that our
patrols got astride the railway be-
tween Arras and Bapaume, IN various
places between the two towns without
encountering any resistance. While
this does not prove that we possess
undisputed use of these routes, 1t
proves that the Germans are back be-
hind them. They have greatly dam
aged both the railway and the roads,
but the British can soon repair them
and restore communication.
1T is an interesting fact that the
British are now holding practically the
! line which Joffre chose for an attempt
to make stand during the great re-
treat, but was unable TO hold under
I the great pressure Of the Germans.
