Discussing the world financial situa-

opinion that Germany will be practical
ly bankrupt In the credit markets
after the war.
"Our enemies" he said, "for all their
boasted efficiency, have never had the
courage to face their financial prob
lens, with the result that when the
war is over they will be hard put to
It."
The Teutonic governments having
pyramlded one internal loan upon an.
other, he explained. their interest
charges would be so great that he be-
lieved they would either have to repu-
diate large part Of their debt or face
inability to buy the enormous quaint
ties of material they would need for

The allies, he added, had paid their
way In the war by the strdghtfor
ward and natural means, by pouring
out their gold, by selling enormous
masses of American securities, by rails

that the end Of the war would find the

Two Bills Vetoed.

Two senate vetoes were made by
the governor during the past week.
One knocked out the Murtha bill, UNI
der which 1t would become a felony
for person to overdraw his bank
account the fact of overdrawing being
held to show intent to defraud. Gov
ernor Sleeper, himself banker, held
that such law would be entirely too
drastic and might result in many per-
sons who inadvertently overdraw their
bank accounts being ranked as felons
and subject to prison terms.
The second senate bill vetoed was
the Hanley bill to require that $50
copies Of every state publication must
be filed with the state library. The
governor held that 1t is possible now
for the state library to obtain all the
copies of all state publications that 1t
wants and that the new bill, II signed
by him, would result only in piling
up mass of books and pamphlets
that would be Of no use to anyone.
