ALLIES SHOULD
DEMAND TOLL OF
EIGHT BILLIONS
French Expert S US Il
Would Take Germans
Fifty Years to Pay.

Paris, Jan. "A French economist,
Barthlemy Rey, who is the first
Frenchman of any note to examine
the subject of indemnity in detail, de-
clares that if the Entente Allies are
victorious Germany will be called up
on to pay four hundred and one bill
lion francs, or, at the normal rate
of exchange, about eighty billion dol
lars. He says that the Central Pow
ers will be able to pay off the whole
of such an indemnity in fifty years
at the rate of nearly fifteen billion a
year.
Summing up, according to M Rey,
on assumption that the war will con-
tinue until next July. the items Of in
demnity are:
Allies State War Expenses $50 billions
Allies Provincial Expenses 10 billions
Allies Compensation for
damage SO billions
Allies Pensions IS billions
Total 4O1 billions
