Washington, y. c.. Jan. 12--The in
crease in the national debt of Great
Britain, France, Russia. Germany and

the exception of Austria Hungary. in
whose case the estimate extends only
to May, 1916.
Twenty billions is the three en-
tente nations share of the total, and
twenty billions is that OF the two CEN
trail powers.
This estimate. the board stated in
fluctuations made public this week ia
approximate and does not cover the
cost of the war. as large revenues
OF undetermined amounts have been
raised by internal taxation.

donal debt increases:

included in the grand total, are esti-
mated at from three to three and a
half billion.

proximateiy $3.50, 900. 900,
The national debt of Russia has

er. attorney general OF Georgia, will
shortly be called upon to defend be-
fore the State Supreme Court the con-
stitutionality of Georgia's inheritance
tax law. which was passed during the
administration of Governor John M.
slaton and which already has brought
100000 into the State treasury.
The law was attacked in case
coming up from Dougherty County,
where Sam Farkas. a wealthy citizen,
left an estate valued at 100000 and
disposed OF in a Will so intricate as
to be almost impossible of construc-
ton. .
Attorneys representing certain of
the benefciaries attacked the inner
itance tax law on the ground that it is
a property tax instead of a privilege
tax. while the State commended.
through Attorney-General Walker.
that the tax is purely privilege tax.

TRADE THROWS OFF
SEASONAL LETHARGY

New York. Jan. 12.-Bradstreet' =
tomorrow will say:
While there is some evidence of
conservatism born of desire to avoid
stocking up with high priced goods.
trade is beginning to throw off the
seasonal lethargy incident to the post
holiday period. Statesmen are again
on the road. and buyers are in the
more important markets. sizing up
things. the price situation which con-
tlnues to swing upward as regards
staple articles rendering it essential
for buyers to deliberate with caution.
However, talk OF early peace in Eu-
rope has been all but ended by the
reply of the entente allies and there
by some hesitancy as to the future
has been diminished.
Over a large part of the West trade
is relatively brisk for this season OF
the year, large orders heretofore re-
ceived denote confidence; merchants
are asking for prompt shipments and
collections are good.
Likewise. some jobbers, particularly
those dealing In dry goods, fear they
NAV not be able to promptly fill all
orders especially as mill interests are
likely to be tardy in making deliv-
cries. Yet reports of some overstock-
ing are not absent. one statement hav-
ing especially to do with shoes. How
ever, most markets indicate that de-
mand for shoes is active and difficulty
in getting raw material persists. which
fact presages even higher prices than
now prevail and evidently dearer sum-
lner shoes.
Retail trade is featured by clear
nee sales, but of course prices on
taple articles are not so attractive
rs in other years Warm weather
has hampered distribution I'm the
